At some point in Mass Effect 2 you find a group of males (a Human, a Salarian, and a Turian) getting a table dance from an Asari. Hang around long enough and this is the conversation you hear:
Most vending machines take IC (the NFC-style top-up cards that Japan also runs on), but ALL vending machines take cash.
It should be possible to swap out the reader, but they might be built in such a way that the entire machine has to be taken away and cannot be serviced on-site for security’s sake. I have never seen anyone servicing a vending machine in public.
This could be something that causes Japan to rethink its cash dependancy.
Because Wesley Crusher was written to be seen as an annoying kid who got in the way. That was the social slant of the time. But you watch those episodes now and you realize, “Hey, he was actually very smart, just trying to help, and he even saved the ship a couple of times.” So all the “Shut up, Wesley!” moments became so stupid, even if he did deserved it sometimes, that the community decided to lean into it ironically as an in-joke.
Remember that DS9 (and the Defiant) operate on a 26-hour day because Bajor has a 26- hour day. That means a three-shift rotation would have people working an extra 40 minutes each day compared to an Earth-normalized ship (almost nine hours a day).
A four-shift rotation requires everyone to work six and a half hours a day.
Hell, the idea for a three-shift rotation was probably Starfleet’s idea. And the Bajorans probably went along with it just because they recently got away from pulling 18-hour days!
Always thinking of the outtake where she’s talking to a Starbase and a guy off-camera does a fake feminine voice in response to her line and her eyes just light up and she says “Hey, suger.” in the most genuinely sultry voice I’ve ever heard her use.
