Most of the more or less authentic Mexican food I’ve had doesn’t actually have much, if any, cheese. That shit ain’t cotija either.

I bet you go to Taco Bell for Cinco de mayo too.

Found the bigot.

Hot take: to Most windows users (not you) probably shouldn’t be able to access power shell or cmd.exe at all.

You could proyget pretty good bandwidth with a tube full of portable digital storage. Latency will suck though.

Price gouging by any other name if still illegal. A heatwave, especially in this escalating climate crisis, is no different than a hurricane or other natural disaster and many places already have laws to deal with the ethics of raising prices under those circumstances.

Most papers are made in TEX or LaTEX. These formats separate display from data in such a way that they can be quickly formatted to a variety of page size, margins, text size, et al with minimal effort. It’s basically an open standard typesetting format. You can create and edit TEX in any text editor and run it through a program to prepare it for print or viewing. Nothing else can handle math formulas, tables, charts, etc with the same elegance. If you’ve ever struggled to write a math paper in Microsoft word, seriously question why your professor hasn’t already forced you to learn about LaTEX.

Like why would someone pay for a drink at Quark’s when every residence on DS9 has a replicator?

Because the scarce resource at Quark’s isn’t the food or drinks, it’s the atmosphere and the experience, i.e things the replicator cannot provide. Quark controls the holodecks too, but even if he didn’t the scarce resource would be authentic (not replicated) food and experiences. It’s been shown pretty regularly on the shows that some people prefer non-replicated food, non-synthohol drinks, and real people. It doesn’t really matter in that context if those are technically indistinguishable from the real thing (but even in canon there is a measureable difference between them and some things the replicators can’t do).

I don’t really believe there could ever be a post-scarcity world in which we don’t create new scarcities to demand.

Hot take: The Expanse (mostly referring to the books here) handled a post-scarcity technocracy much more believably.

You can’t have both. If the photos get taken they will be stored, aggregated, processed, etc. There is no law that will be able to actually stop that from happening. The only way to prevent abuse of the system is to not build the system.

Now you’re just dodging the question.

It’s a science fiction situational comedy. How could it possibly avoid being contrived? All sitcoms are contrived. All scifi is contrived.

CUPS is probably the print server you’re thinking of.

My company sends out these kids of phishing scam test emails too. They were actually pretty decently faked. But, they use the same identifying string in the header of each and every one, so I made an outlook rule to quarantine them In a particular folder so that I could correctly report all of them. Occasionally I report the weird legitimate email surveys we get from HR too and mass emails from IT with bad spelling, just so they don’t get suspicious of my perfect record.

You’re either responding to the wrong comment. Can’t read. Or you think straw man arguments are valid.

I never said either was better, just that’s it’s foolish to confuse or compare the two.

If your bagel is dry and you can’t distinguish it from normal bread, you’ve never actually had a real bagel.

Tell me you’ve never had a decent bagel without telling me you’ve never had a decent bagel. A bagel is not a roll.

I never said either was better, just different.

My head cannon is that TIE fighters don’t make sound exactly as they zip around, but they do something to the electromagnetic fields or some other techno babble thing that causes other things, like droids, space ships, rocks, or skulls to scream with a Doppler effect like that as they zip by.

Browse the wikis a bit and find a doctor you like. Watch some episodes from that Doctor until you’re bored. Repeat. You can watch them in any order you like.

Starting with the 2005 reboot is probably easiest and most accessible. Watch for callbacks to previous adventures. If those stories sound interesting dive into the back story.

Everybody has their favorite Doctor. Some like the leather clad skinhead. Some like the guy with the scarf and the Jelly Babies. Some weirdos like the guy with the celery stalk in his pocket. My favorite is the first Doctor. He’s in black and white, he’s witty, he’s grumpy and sometimes mean, and he lies. If you want to know about the origins of the Daleks you’ll need to find his episodes. The library is probably the best place to find these. I think there is always Doctor Who streaming or being broadcast somewhere at practically all times. I’m pretty sure I can search for Doctor Who on Plex and find some random episode streaming at any time.

As others have mentioned, several large chunks of the original series are missing, so be prepared for that disappointment.
