Hummm, I allways took Picard for a Twinings man...

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Of course he's a fookin' Yaarkshire Tea man. Stick t'kettle on, lad!

Wait, Picard is French, I am certain he would enjoy Yorkshire tea, but I don't believe he would have a huge preference for it in general.

(Yes, I know that Patrick Stewart comes from Yorkshire, but that is not who we are talking about)

All French people are from Yorkshire, obvs.

I wonder now about the social norms of the "default" versions of things in replicators.

Would you go on one ship and "soft drink" is Pepsi and another Coke, like venues today? How is it negotiated?

Or do you spend your life building and refining a profile? How is that carried around?

If you define parameters the first time you (or your parents) use a replicator (which is every thing you ever consume except for social dining) and the replicators sync you should have a quite large library of your tastes which it can use as a filter for when you order new stuff so you don't have to refine the parameters very much.

At least in my head canon :)

But how do they sync? Personnel files and communicators works for starfleet, but not civilians.

(Some civilians have replicator access, though clearly not all.)

It's a communist utopia, I would assume the central government has that info regardless if it's a citizen or a government personell. Citizens of other members in the Federation would opt in to the tracking

They likely don't have brands and the ingredients are open source. They probably just have "cola" entry and then you can tweak the ingredients amount, with predefined templates, named by the author. By default it just gives you the most popular version, I suppose.
