What, no "Kirk vs. Picard"?
You guys disappoint me.
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot ?v ?Romulan Ale.
Which makes me wonder why did Picard always state "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot", I
mean do they not have macros or pre-programmed settings in the 24th centuary
so he could say "normal please" :) :) :) :)
You have to be /very/ careful with automation. It was tried once. It
wasn't good.
When the 'Drink' button is pressed it makes an instant but highly
detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic
analysis of the subject's metabolism, and then sends tiny experimental
signals down the neural pathways to the taste centres of the subject's
brain to see what is likely to be well received. However, no-one knows
quite why it does this because it then invariably delivers a cupful of
liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
