There are many options, but an abandoned quiche is insistent on Undertale.

I highly doubt any ethical replicator program would replicate Caitian body parts for anything other than medical purposes (or any other sapient felid e.g. Kzinti, Lyran).
I am slightly baffled by you refusing to replicate non-sapient cat meat though, since replicated animal flesh is pretty common?

They're a *Starfleet* replicator unit, which is completely different.
Klingon military-surplus replicators in particular aren't so picky, from my experience. They're not really the best at making complex meals but for replicating just about any raw meat they do fine.

This is a recipe for you getting phasered and cuffed by Caitian police. Again.
It's much easier, safer, & less embarrassing to just acquire a Tellarite or Klingon replicator - they won't stop you from replicating nonsapient feline meat. Also violates no treaties to my knowledge.

Not sure if it's so much stupidity as spite. Burning the trees on your estate makes a lot more sense to someone with a deep-seated hatred of trees and/or squirrels. I think many of the most influential new rich *hate* us & would happily spend $1 million to keep their lessers from getting $1,000.

Apparently Colgate tried to break into the TV Dinner business back in the 60s. That's maybe on par with Marmite caramel sauce.
Maybe we'll get Mrs Butterworth branded canned spinach, Spam branded chocolate bars, & Tabasco branded mouthwash? (Wouldn't be shocked if the last one exists as a novelty)

You don't want the fuzz anywhere near your cheese unless it's supposed to be moldy. Certainly not cheese sticks!

If you search "separate locker room for gays/lesbians", you'll get a bunch of conservative news sites from 15 years ago and a bunch of mainstream sites from 25 years ago. Complete with literally the same talking points, including "what if we make them use a third option".

Mamnalian carnivora are divided into caniform & feliform I.e. dogs & cats, which might map to the trans dichotomy.
It does suggest puppygirls might be foxes, bears, or even seals though.

...this is hard & really I don't have one good answer, but I'm tempted to go with the refitted Enterprise from the first 3 Star Trek films (followed closely by the -A in the next 3). Certainly wins as my favorite Starship!

...while I know which Hitachi product you're probably referring to, I'm now imagining an AI GF who's an industrial excavator, a Shinkansen trainset, or a nuclear power plant. Hitachi makes a *lot* of things.

Non-practicing in my case, but I come from a Jewish family. Chuck Schumer is *at best* incapable of leading his caucus. The damn *Minority Whip*, Durbin, voted for this shameful capitulation. Senate Democrats need new leadership *now*.

NVidia's probably going to be the bleeding edge of the AI bubble popping.
Which...they're apparently valued at $5 trillion US, which is insane. They do have useful products but that's the GDP of Germany!
