I had a head MRI a few weeks ago. They didn't make me take off my clothes, they just triple checked I had nothing metal on me or inside me by asking me several times.
There don't need to be additional details. She snuck a gun into the MRI room and found out why you shouldn't do that.
I have one of those mugs. Not in that color. It is a HotJo travel mug. It's the best mug I've ever owned. I'm on my second because I accidentally dropped the first I had for about 10 years. Sadly, they don't make them in black anymore and the ones I've seen on eBay that don't have a shitty logo on them have really expensive shipping, so I've made do with a white one. I didn't even realize they used them on DS9 until I was doing a rewatch one day.
The first ever Star Trek tie-in novel, Spock Must Die, dealt with the implications of the first issue you brought up when Spock is accidentally duplicated by the transporter.
It's definitely interesting what the props and model people found from everyday objects.
In the very first show of our first season (recounts Roddenberry) (“The Man Trap” by George C. Johnson) we needed some salt shakers because we had a creature that craved salt, we had a story point which required the creature (disguised in human form) to give himself away when someone passed with a salt shaker on a tray. This posed a problem. What will a salt shaker look like three hundred years from now? Our property manager, Irving Feinberg, went out and bought a selection of very exotic looking salt shakers. It was not until he brought them in and showed them to me that I realized they were so beautifully shaped and futuristic that the audience would never recognize them as salt shakers. I would either have to use 20th century salt shakers or else I would have to have a character say, “See, this is a salt shaker.” So I told Irving to go down to the studio commissary and bring me several of their salt shakers, and as he turned to go, I said, “However, those eight devices you have there will become Dr. McCoy’s operating instruments.”
For two years now the majority of McCoy’s instruments in Sick Bay have been a selection of exotic salt shakers, and we know they work, because we’ve seen them work. Not only has he saved many a life with them but it’s helped keep hand prop budget costs low.
For example, when the Enterprise is in Dry-dock a small utility vessel passes by. It is actually a broken toy robot foot embellished with throw-away razor handles glued to it. We didn't have much time and used whatever was available to do the job. The makers of everyday objects do a great job of precise industrial design and manufacturing. If you can look at things independent of their actual size you will discover that the world is filled with space ship parts.
He does have magic powers. Unfortunately, his powers are limited to what appear to be slight-of-hand tricks but are actually magic. If you pick a card, he'll always get it right. But by magic.

I remember when I was a kid back in the 80s, they had a brief show where kids could show off their inventions and this one girl came up with a type of edible tape you could use to do things like hold burritos together. I still think that's genius. Of course, it never became an actual product.

Considering how much it costs to make the average movie or TV show, a Patreon isn't going to cut it. If you want a guy talking in front of a microphone with a producer and a writing team of two, sure, you can pay the creators for that. It's not something most people will want to watch in replacement of the entertainment they're used to.
