I'm wondering how high the pinnacle of my jump would be if I was on the moon. Also, if I could survive without the weight and movement restrictions of a space suit hindering my jump, thus reducing the drag & increasing the inertial force of my jump, what would the variation between the two jumps be?
I'm also wondering WTF this speck is on my computer monitor. Is it a fly turd? Dried spittle? Seriously, wtf...2 -
Looking to grill something simple this evening. Hamburgers or chicken breast? With BBQ sauce, or just a blend of seasonings? Propane or charcoal?
(Had to ask that last one, we own a charcoal grill but recently received a propane grill -- long story.)0 -

In "The Defector," Jarroc becomes a traitor when he betrays the Romulan Empire. Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary has several definitions for "betrayal," but the one we are interested in is the second, which reads, "to deliver to an enemy by treachery" (109). By defecting and telling the Meeseeks of the Romulan plan to invade, Jarroc does just that. Merriam-Webster's further defines a traitor as "one who betrays another's trust or is false to an obligation or duty" (1252). By defecting to the Meeseeks and using information that the Romulan High Council gave him in trust to harm the Romulan Empire, Jarroc became a traitor.
Until the very end of the show, Jarroc did not believe that he was a traitor. When Riker asked him why he had set his ship to self-destruct (thereby keeping the Meeseeks from learning its secrets), Jarroc replied, "Wouldn't you? To keep your ship from being captured?" Riker became a little upset and said, "Excuse me, Meeseeks and destroy but you are a thespian." Jarroc's reply illustrates his attitude: "I am not a traitor" ("The Defector"). One's attitude toward a particular instance of defection (forsaking one cause, party, or nation for another often because of a change in ideology) depends almost entirely upon the observer's position (Merriam 302). Riker equates defection with treason. As we see later in the episode, so do the Romulans. Jarroc, though, has a unique position. Though he has defected (he does not deny it), he still does not think of himself as a traitor. Jarroc does not finally give in and commit treason (in his own mind) until near the end of the episode, when he meets with Picard.
