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... 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.
