There's plenty of it in the UK too.

I think the point I realised how out of step I am with most brexiters was when someone argued with me that now we're out of the EU "they can take all their bloody decimalised currency with them!"

I was completely flabbergasted that someone would still be mad about an objectively better system that's been the norm for over 50 years at this point.

That was the argument I heard a lot of from neolibs leading up to the referendum - "y'know, Norway and Switzerland aren't in the EU and they're doing fine".

I do wonder if Cameron had stuck it out if that's what we would have aimed for, rather than leaving it up to the "Brexit means Brexit" crew.

Mostly hate and misery, with a good dash of racism.

For a more serious answer, "tory" is the nickname for a member of the Conservative party, the UK's major centre-right party. Much like in the US, they've been shifting further right in the past few decades and focusing more on "culture war" BS.

Fantastic Planet's score was also sampled heavily on Quasimoto's "The Unseen".

are you trying to say "exempted"?

Thanks to the chicken tax, they'll have to keep some manufacturing in the USA. Maybe this will be what finally kills it.

They do make colour laser printers - but in the past 5 years, I've needed to print in colour maybe 3 times, and I just took it to the copy shop where it'd be better quality than I can do at home anyway.

Almost all the printing I do is either stuff to sign like contracts or boarding passes / tickets, and those are moving digital more and more.

I always figured that's what the pattern buffer is for - the replicator can make a person atom-by-atom from energy, but the buffer holds the 'consciousness', and that's the unreliable bit. Thomas Riker happens because the transporter system copies Riker into the buffer twice due to interference, so when the replicator fires up it creates two Riker bodies and puts one copy into each, sucking down some extra power from the ship to compensate for the missing energy.

Bartenders are a case that you've missed. A standard cash rate is $1 per drink. Bartenders have a lot of leeway when it comes to how quickly you're served, and how strong your drinks will be, so tipping well may be in your interest.
