Putting out a call to Star Trek fans here on Mastodon.

@ohir It sadly split directly in the middle of the color changing text and that ended up shattering flakes off. It's not repairable in any way that would maintain it's original look and feel.

@temptoetiam Its okay, it seems like Hallmark has this issue with ai copycat sites. I ran into a few last night and then have gotten 3-4 new ones today recommended. Always the same site template, but when you look up their Contact Us address it's just AI generated bs

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@kDelta Yeah I did my own search and had to vet a few of these before I posted the call for aid. It seems like Hallmark has this issue pretty significantly.

@lockelyfox

So sorry to hear that.

But please tell us you had a cat whose name was "Q" who was responsible for it.

Because I can just picture him taking that form, knocking Picard's mug off, then still in cat form with DeLancy's voice saying "Oops, sorry Jean Luc"

@lockelyfox Awlways loved that old star trek UI. Nice cup. Shame about it.

[madmike77@chaos.social]

@lockelyfox Reminds me that I once wanted to learn #Kintsugi.

[darth_hideout@mas.to]

@lockelyfox

Maybe it's been suggested, but maybe someone with a 3d printer could replicate that & ship it to you.

[lockelyfox@meow.social]

@darth_hideout

3D Printing isn't great for drinkware because it prints in layers and you can end up getting moisture between the layers which turns into bacteria and mold.

[peribotsarah@babka.social]

@lockelyfox @darth_hideout YES SEAL THAT.

[fixato@toot.cat]

@lockelyfox it's not the same, and it's not thermally activated either unfortunately, but perhaps it's a close enough alternative: https://www.amazon.co.uk/getDigital-Earl-Grey-Mug/dp/B06XYD4XC4
Only seems to ship to the UK though.

But I'll boost your post in hopes a #StarTrek fan in my circles has the one you had, and is willing to beam it over.

[wandrecanada@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox Holy crap I want one now...

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@lockelyfox oh damn, my wife needs this... They just don't know it yet.

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@temptoetiam @lockelyfox ah crap, I fell for it

[joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social]

@pseudonym @lockelyfox Picard when the mug fell.

[pseudonym@mastodon.online]

@joelvanderwerf @lockelyfox

His tea spilled, his mug cracked.

[denofearth@mas.to]

@lockelyfox
Alternatively find a Kintsugi artist to repair it with gold veins in the traditional manner?

[charliemac@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox @ohir kintsugi repair would be pretty neat, I bet. A little battle damage version... or one of the alien beings that tend to infect the main computers?

[kaced@infosec.exchange]

@lockelyfox I’ve only just now learned it exists, and I’m sorry, but you should know that I’m jealous you ever had it

[sirchrism@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox Now you know for sure that your cat is a Star Wars' fan.

[chrokaki@mastodon.social]

@lockelyfox

Ah, what a shame! And now I really want one as well!!!
