Data:
"I do not know" is the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom.
I admire this statement and it heavily influences my thinking.

Quick, boys - blast "Anything Goes" into it!
Spock’s Live Long and Prosper. '
Fascinating
Indeed.
Everybody remember where we parked
Every time I hear that phrase I think of whale songs.
I must confess that I don't get the reference. Where was this from?
The Picard Manuever.
I should buy longer shirts.
"He's dead Jim"
When we're gaming together but he gets distracted by his phone, I'll call my husband back to the game with, "Play dom-jot, hew-mon!" but I never stab him if he's cheating.
I never stab him if he's cheating.
So you're not fully committed, ok.
Kudos on not getting stabby! Self-restraint is a good life skill.
Whenever I wake up my computer I saw a little "Hello Computer".
I adjust my shirt/sweater like Picard when he gets up.
Aka the Picard maneuver
I work for an MSP and I often multiply my time estimates by a factor of four.... Does that count?
Ah, yeah, web dev here. We call it, "Scotty Time."
Industrial maintenance here, I try and give only Starfleet Estimates when management sniffs around for their broken-ass machines back.
It's a little on the nose, considering my display name and avatar, but, "That's a stupid question!"
Exploitation begins at home
Once you have their money, you never give it back.
The price for peace is at an all time low
That episode is one of the best of the whole franchise.
Greed is eternal.
"He's dead, Jim."
Live long and prosper
My wife and me often use this instead of Goodbye.
@Nmyownworld Whenever I have solved some weird tech issue, my first instinct is to throw my hands up and shout "Qapla'!"
(It's the pose from the end of Goldeneye, so I am clearly aware of how quickly my fortune can turn.)
I'm thinking of Boimler practicing saying "qapla'" which is awesome.
He's actually practicing saying nuqneH. nuqneH means "what do you want" literally but is a form of greeting in klingon while Qapla' means goodbye, good luck, or bon voyage.
Literally, Qapla'! is "Success!"
Unconsciously adopted a Jadzia Dax's thinking walk with hands holding behind back.
"There must be a logical explanation, Captain."
Unknown at this time.
I tend to do the Spock eyebrow raise quite a bit without thinking about it, to the point that people I know will ask if it's on purpose.
I also will use "fascinating" and I tend to insert logical or illogical into sentences.
Worf's "It is not funny, but I get it" is something I throw in as well.
If I'm in "Star Trek Mode" I'll use various Klingon phrases, along with the Vulcan salute as greeting. My wife and I will at times text in Klingon. There's other stuff as well, but not as common!
Not something i do, but this thread reminded me of my intense desire to end up in a situation where i can shout COMPUTER TURN OFF THAT NOISE
Two Spock quotes that have become ingrained:
“I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.”
- TOS: “The Squire of Gothos”
“I do not approve. I understand.”
- TOS: “A Taste of Armageddon”
With my old colleagues I was able to share some Shaka moments whenever our walls fell. And today I was worried about the structural integrity of our whiteboard.
Not me but my friend always say "Engage!" when he activates his electric recliner.
In my best Janeway voice: "DEW IT."
Takes a bit of context...
I used to LARP.
At the game I played, I became leader of one of the five Baronies of our in-game nation.
We would have barony meetings on the regular...
...at which I used to have to struggle not to give the order to "make it so."
It's just... so perfect a turn of phrase it's hard not to use. But memeing in-game is bad.
Tea, Earl Grey, hot!
My local library has a 3D printer and apparently someone will come in and say that to the 3D printer, almost daily. Everyone's a comedian.
When I drive and the missus is in the passenger seat and I have to break harder than usual because an idiot in front of me, I sometimes yell "Brace for impact!"
My missus would be VERY put out if I yelled that in the car...
