The real question to ask is, does it contain any chemicals?

I only eat ham that is 100% composed of virtual particles.

When the shopkeeper thinks he has the concept of a deal.

From other articles I’ve read, some parts are sourced outside the US, some from within. I think the implication was that they’re assembled in the US, but I haven’t seen anything to completely confirm it.

Where do I put in my request for that bluesky money I’m owed, then?

And there is no problem because either way the bird of prey goes, its victims die in battle, with honor.

In a recent by-election I voted in, the ballots were 2-3 feet long with 91 candidates on them. This was in Canada, where we only have paper ballots. The majority of the candidates only registered as part of a protest to get the govt. to reconsider other voting methods than FPTP.

OneDrive: the best idea since sliced bread.

This is even funnier when you know that Bob Ross was a drill sergeant before he did The Joy of Painting.

Why not President Red Forman? Dumbass!

Like radioactive rubber pants?

The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don’t see how anyone could find that line funny.

I mean, I’m a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they’re crafted, even if I don’t tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

But I just don’t see the joke here.

It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: “Please do not press this button again. Thank you.”

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.

I think we have something contemporary to compare this sci-fi scenario with: recorded vs. live music (especially now that we can keep making exact digital duplicates as nauseam.)

When you play a CD, it sounds the same each time (ignoring things like the equipment you’re playing through, the room, the ambient noise, etc.). Usually, the studio recording is the best, most pristine recording of a song you can get.

But when you see the original artist performing the song live, it’s different! A good performer will make you feel like you’re experiencing something special. And the little variations, and even, imperfections, make the song even more compelling!

It’s the CD recording of the song bad? No. It’s perfectly serviceable. It might even contain things that can’t be performed live. But it’s the same each time. And for some people, that makes it less desirable, and live performances, with all their deviations and mistakes become more desirable.

And going back to replicated food, apart from Eddington and grandpa Sisko, I don’t remember anyone else saying replicated food was bad. Just less desirable. And even Eddington grudgingly admitted that the TV dîner he was eating in the shuttle with Sisko wasn’t that bad.

The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

People with freckles tend to avoid sunlight, yeah.

The last two Dell laptops my work provided me with have little sliders that physically cover the camera. I use them all the time while working from home.

Ackshully…

The TOS Enterprise, as well as the A, D and E are usually referred to as “The Enterprise”. B and C aren’t on long enough for me to remember if it applied to them as well.

However, the NX-01 was always referred to as “Enterprise”, (without the “The”). It’s like they were making a point of it, too. So I wouldn’t count it with regards to this meme.

So you then have to decide which ones you would count, such as the J, the one in ST:P, whatever came up on Discovery… Or whether you want to consider alternates as distinct.
