Honestly. I used to watch my dad have like 4 channels he could switch between so he didn't have to do commercials. I used to think that was weird, and indicative of some poor character traits. I was a judgemental little shit.

Now this meme is me. I have become my father.

Does Lemmy have a writing prompt community? I used to love reading the short stories there.

I do remember that, shit. I was so young it didn't click. Damn.

Holy shit did he really say that. Jr or Sr?

My only problem with Indian food. Whenever I try a restaurants it's shit. But when my coworkers would bring in a feast on Diwali, it was my favorite time of year.

I can't find any restaurants that taste even similar to their home cooked meals.

I think the idea is large and complex. There's plenty of episodes where they use replicators to make guns with complex digital optics on them, mini transporters, tricorders, medicines, phasers, farming equipment e.t.c.

I just went and cheated and checked the wiki and yeah they start out with no replicators to make ships or shuttles, but then in DS9 they introduce industrial replicators that print large parts. But still just parts. So I guess with Voyager it's like, as long as it doesn't get absolutely obliterated you can probably print parts and repair it.

You are right, but also wrong. They cant replicate complicated things, but they can replicate parts of complicated things, and then professionals can assemble them. They reference it a few times. They talk about it when they need a new energy source because they are short on supplies, more than just food is mentioned. That and the delta flyer. They assemble to a degree but parts are replicated and assembled. Otherwise they would care about a lot more things than just energy and fuel in the delta quadrant. I think there are a few things that don't qualify, like the warp coils for the entire starship. But even then they can make shitty coils for shuttles I'm pretty sure.

I may be crazy but I feel like there's a scene in enterprise where they are getting repaired at a Starbase and they show a panel get like replicated/transported to place and then it's bolted or welded in after. They do mention that replicators and transporters are almost the exact same a few times so it's hard to tell.

God damnit it's kinda embarrassing how much I know about Star Trek. I use the show as a coping mechanism lol.

Edit: oh shit gel packs too, they couldn't replicate new gel packs.

Funny but I mean, come on, large replicators exist in star trek.

If you like strategy games. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I haven't seen anything quite like it sense. Close, but nothing hit the genre mix like this game.

Rise and fall: civilization at war.

Yeah someone explained this earlier and I commented admitting my mistake. Definitely one of my shittier takes.

Fuck alright, I'll admit I missed that part. I retract my previous statement and feel like a fool. I'll leave the comment up to illustrate my lapse in judgement, just in case anyone else only skimmed the article and missed that like I did.
