      He uses the buffer for more than just people he hates/likes. He’s got all sorts of stuff in there. Like all the stuff his wife told him to throw out.

      When she makes him eat vegetarian, he goes to work, pulls out a freshly-cooked T-bone steak, and just eats it there in the transporter room. Nobody ever transports that early in the morning.

        Not gonna lie: I would absolutely use the pattern buffer as my own personal junk drawer. I’d have a pattern buffer full of those portable pattern buffers from Discovery. Each of those full of random stuff I’d otherwise carry if I could.

        “Why, yes, I do need my kayak with me at all times. You never know when you might need that!”

        Hell, I’d probably work out how to turn the pattern buffer into a man cave. 😆

        Or if I’m ever in a sticky situation, pull a Dale Gribble “Pocket Sand” but with a pattern buffer full of junk that all comes out at once.
