Hey yall! I'm stoned af and watching star trek on a weekend, naturally. I lost my place since last weekend in TNG season 3, but I knew that I wasn't far in so I just watched all the intros until I found where I left off. Episode 8 "the price", Troi gets frustrated with the replicator for wanting a "real" chocolate sundae. This raised a question for me, wouldn't food replicators be intelligent enough to simulate the process of "the standard" ingredients being processed into the recipe? Like I thought that was the point of being able to say "Earl grey tea, hot". Like wouldn't she just have to say "betazoid chocolate sundae" or whatever?

EDIT: SECOND QUESTION: Say you have a family recipe cookbook or whatever and the comfort food is in that cookbook, couldn't you just say "simulate the process of making the recipe from this cookbook"?

Bad news, I don't think it's mild cheddar anymore

Hey folks! I have a need for a very particular type of meme. I work at a large company that has their own social media, kinda like Facebook with the pro/con of no blocking, where a bunch of religious boomers post stuff with the caveat that the content can't be political. I had an incident on this social media a while back where just stating I was an anarchist got me a talking to by my manager. So now I want to stir the pot and confront these boomers with the existence of trans people. I need work-friendly, politically-agnostic, trans-positive, boomer-style memes to achieve this goal. The more memes I get, the more daily posts I can make. I want these people to mald, and maybe get them the talking to from their manager that they deserve.

With the recent announcement of Motorola partnering with GrapheneOS, I got curious about installing a custom rom like LineageOS or/e/OS on my Moto G Power (vegas) because I've been meaning to degoogle for a while now. As far as I can tell, Motorola has all the keys to be a primary development target: OEM supported boot unlocking, cheap devices, accessible hardware, etc. Why have their devices largely been ignored by custom ROM developers?

This song would have changed the entire tone of the movie, and for the better imo. I appreciate the efforts of the writers to illustrate capitalist greed and make it digestible for children. It's unfortunate that Illumination noticed that it would awaken anti-corporate sentiment in children
