At the right distance it's just enough pivot to give them a spiteful shoulder check on the way out.

That's just how the font is (it's called Overseer) but that would be a neat change to make, and pretty simple.

Star Trek still has traditionalists and hobbyists that prepare food without replicators. Sisko's father famously ran a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. I wouldn't be surprised if someone ran a fast food burger shop because "the fries just don't crunch the same from a replicator" or something.

It also would be possible to have something like a replicator kiosk shop, which would be like fast food.

There are a few restaurants mentioned on the wiki, but they don't distinguish between traditional preparation and replicator food (it includes Quark's on the list). None of the space ones look like fast food though. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Restaurant

So that's what happened.

The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.

TS releases do have good audio. Cams in general have a lot of visual problems though; poor color accuracy, warping, incomplete frames, sometimes people moving around, things like that. Also pretty much every cam I've seen lately has been covered in ads for sketchy gambling sites throughout the entire runtime. None of this makes for a good viewing experience.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen a cam with subtitles available.

I expect they mean the site google.com, because that's been my experience. Whenever I get captcha'd there for using a VPN (which is getting more and more common), I always see the Maps image style captcha. Like 60% of the time it tells me I'm wrong anyway and I just give up.

They do indeed

With opnwrt you can do DNS hijacking, where you force redirect DNS requests for other servers to your own DNS server. This works as long as they aren't encrypted (DNS over HTTPS or TLS), which most devices don't use.

Sometimes you're just not very hungry.
