Assuming it survives the fall to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the building management should be able to retrieve it for you.

Not all replicators are created equally.

Starfleet standard-issue food replicators won’t produce unhealthy foods, true alcohol, etc. If you ask for a hot fudge sundae you’ll get something that resembles a hot fudge sundae, but which has the nutritional value of a balanced meal. If you ask for whiskey, you’ll get synthehol. The psychological impact (sugar high, intoxication, tryptophan sleepiness, etc.) of replicated food is muted or absent compared to the real thing.

That’s why people go to places like Quark’s. His replicators produce real food and real booze, with all the psychological effects that come with them.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

Krombiception, of course.

…you do have krombiception, don’t you?

“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”

I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.

I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.

According to my extensive 30 seconds of research, the difference is that a sauce is an integral ingredient, but a condiment is added after the dish is served. In which case, ketchup can be either or both, even in the same dish.

Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?

The 90’s is the decade when the internet took off. Ease of access (and stuff worth accessing) increased dramatically over the course of a few years.

In 1990 if you didn’t have access through a university or your job then you would need a subscription service that connected over your home phone line. It wasn’t difficult, really, but it was a niche hobby thing that used expensive equipment, so most people didn’t even notice it. You had email, newsgroups, ftp servers, and bulletin boards, but not the modern concept of “the web”.

By around 1995 the web existed and was really taking off. Companies like Yahoo, Netscape, ebay, and Amazon were founded and high(er) speed dedicated connections started to become available to home users.

By 1999 you have mega sites like Google and Paypal, the first great browser war was raging, and high-speed DSL and cable connections were becoming standard in homes.

“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.

[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.

The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]

We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.

https://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-of-the-third-committee-adoption-of-the-right-to-food-resolution/

tl;dr:

1. The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
2. The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
3. The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory

As an audience member, no. We saw the final confrontation between them.

Picard and friends, on the other hand, have legitimate reason to be suspicious.

But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.
