I recently thought back to Louis CK's recent dumpster fire at the Governor's Comedy Club, the one where he said of Parkland survivors:
a former-comic-genius-cum-current-jackass Wrote:"Testify in front of Congress, these kids, what the f***? What are you doing? Cause you went to a high school where kids got shot, why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn't get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I gotta listen to you talking?"
Gratuitously cruel to four kids who are just trying to make the world a better place, yeah, but then I remembered this and suspected there might actually have been some legit point buried in all the bullshit (specifically at 8:18):
Yup. The kids knew he was a potential school shooter, with all these warning signs, and their response was to just keep making fun of him for it. As someone who was bullied and labeled and treated as a potential school shooter throughout grade school, and also had two separate plots in high school to frame me as a school shooter, this absolutely disgusts me. I hope to Hell the five teens who took up their bully pulpits to lobby for gun control weren't involved in this horseshit.
That said, I have no idea if CK was at all privy to this specific information, and I suspect he was just talking out his ass at that point.

I've been rewatching - in a sort of lackadaisical manner - some 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' episodes, and one of them talked about building/refitting starships. Even had shots of a space dock where the work was being done.
Why don't they just replicate starships?

Unlikely. 'In space, no one can hear you unionize...'

I imagine the components are replicated but they still need to be assembled. With the complexity of a ship I suspect that replicating a whole starship is beyond their technology. Not to mention the size of the replicator required.
And they still have to mine dilithium crystals.

If there is a fire and someone suggests to put out the fire I need to 'fight the fire with fire', i'm throwing that person in the fire. You use water or foam or some other type of agent.
If water rots the soles of your boots, what does it do to your intestines?

Who is Dr Smith?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
