In a galaxy with replicators, who would actually still know how to cook eggs (other than Sisko's dad)?

Ah yes, a statement on copyright thanking someone for buying an authorised edition of Great Expectations, a book whose copyright expired in 1940 at the latest...

My assumption would be that the training would put a huge weight on precisely that.

I really don't think they'd spend all that time just learning how to mechanically draw blood and not have entire courses and exams on patient safety, record keeping etc.

Not that I disagree with the rest of your comment, but

No way any normal person would say no to 2mil.

No way would I want the stress or weight on my conscience of having just stolen 2 mil.

In my opinion, anyone who would take that money is the abnormal one.

He's a celebrity first and a chef second, unlike the likes of Gordon Ramsay, who's a chef first and a celebrity second.

He's a bit worthy and his restaurants are a bit shit, but I'm sure his heart is in the right place.

Helsinki is, for some reason, full of massage parlours.

There's a neighbourhood called Kallio that was formerly rather cheap but has become much more expensive and gentrified, and the massage parlours remain. I have no idea how they can afford their rent, as I've never seen anyone going into or coming out of one of those venues.

Obviously they provide "extra services", but I don't think that can be enough to sustain them. I suspect money laundering from drug sales etc.

If this works at all, every material scientist in the world will be working on similar materials and manufacturing processes for them to improve the effect and make them more manufacturable.

Which would inevitably be followed by "Just one more can't hurt!"...

I hope you're doing better now.

Just one can't hurt.

Oh...

Oh no.

Hold my lemmings, I'm going in!

It's a galaxy filled with droids, too. It's not like they're a new concept.

My theory is that Vader sensed that R2 was on board and his old friendship got the better of him in that moment. He never had the hard feelings against R2 that he had against Obi-Wan, for example.

I think this is what other people have observed in that it currently still works when you're not signed in. I'm sure reddit will "fix" this soon, assuming they want to stop people scraping data using the API.
