Dogs do offer us something. It’s just not tangible. We tend to find them cute and they at least seem to love us.

You’ve never been on a ranch or farm, have you? Or met someone with a guide dog?

Hell, even claiming that simple companionship provides no tangible benefit, only a few years after the pandemic proved that it absolutely does, is incredibly shortsighted.

Nothing of value was lost.

In my headcanon the touch interfaces in Star Trek also provide tactile feedback, pressure sensitivity, etc. The flat panel look is only when they’re idle.

At second 24, he grabs the documents from her hand and throws them in the back. IANAL, but from what I understand this act will be interpreted as “he accepted the papers.” The plaintiffs probably started celebrating when watching this video.

Are you looking at reproducibility for dev environments, or for a home server?

For the former, Vagrant is probably the tool you’re looking for.

For the latter it depends on the level of complexity and reproducibility that you’re comfortable dealing with. Something like Proxmox lets you snapshot and restore VMs, which may be enough. On the other end of the spectrum you would have golden images that you rebuild on demand, or cloud init coupled with ansible or chef to customize VMs on demand based on metadata.

Just go to the transporter room and have them beam the pee out.
