InevitableWaffles

I worked in contract manufacturing for making electronics.

We had certain contractual yields required. If the yield was below 90% (industry standard), they would pay us for the scrap. The assumption for that being they should have a confidence and reliability in their process that allows it to be higher. If we produced a higher yield than 90%, they got those for free.

Of course, yield numbers and reimbursement terms can be negotiated as part of the contracts.

As someone who worked hard to lose 100 lbs across 3 years, I get it. After all of the sacrifice I did, yeah I get mad when my friends who have no need for this med take it to get into swimsuit shape. Its the vapid use of a drug that benefits so many actual medical disorders that pisses me off in combination with the easy mode weight loss. Call me petty but its my frustration. I have friends who do need GLP-1s for diabetes management or other health issue and they can’t access the drug due in part to this kind of non-medically necessary usage.

See? We could have technobabbled it into a new character on the show but here we are, arguing about this again lol

I never understood why they didn’t just use the transporter to recreate Tuvok and Neelix. You have their patterns on file when they last transported. Just leave him alive and duplicate those two and you get both scenarios. We have seen examples of duplicates throughout the show. I know this isn’t really the point, but it’s always felt needlessly contentious when the writers could have just done it.

Couldn’t ya just… Leave him there, after the caretaker episodes, in that bondyard where they found him? I know he’s annoying but like damn.
