Just looked it up and it turns out the link is right, except their genesis is reversed: Diet Coke came out in 1982, and New Coke’s formula was largely based off of it, just with a substitution of sugar and corn syrup in far higher quantities than the aspartame in the former. For me at least, that massive glucose spike…

Having spent a large amount of time in so-called flyover country, not really. A few years of lag is appropriate, but not more than that save for holdouts or those completely oblivious.

His hair retains its unreal volume

While it’s been 25ish years since I routinely guzzled 2 liter bottles of New Coke/Coke II - I miss my metabolism from those years - from what I remember Diet Coke isn’t anywhere close to the sweetness.

In my experience, many Brits can’t identify the difference between most American accents and a Canadian one - but many will assume you’re the latter (since as it’s been explained to me) if you misidentify an American as a Canadian they’re surprised, but if you misidentify a Canadian as an American they tend to be…

I found it fascinating that even the educated, upper-class Tory voice of Brexit - the Telegraph - had the Boris Johnson news headlining their site almost as quickly as the Guardian.

Craig Symonds’ Neptune, which looks at the sea services’ role in the D-Day landings, covers the tragic debacle in substantial detail. Besides the weather, there were conflicting chains of command, and people entirely unqualified to do so made the call to launch much further away from the beach than the tanks were ever…

He used the walker as a stepladder.

This misses the bountiful harvest of the Segura for Santana deal, which hath been fruitful and multiplied to one Then and...

The difficult to work with part also fits with one more subtle aspect that I’ve not seen discussed much, which was that the writers room didn’t expand at all for the last three seasons. Instead, D&D got half or more of the WGA credits - just as they had in previous years.

I use a hand mixer and a stainless bowl and 5 minutes would be about triple the time it normally requires.

Had the exact same thing happen, with the additions of:

Yeah, their management of this part of their staff has been curious over the years. I think this may have been what was sitting at the back of my mind.

Slightly misremembered this - their head of sports medicine (who the trainer reports to) left because they didn’t want to pay her - the latter fact took another month to come out. I think there were a couple other people on that side who also left.

which is the real message he’s bundling up in “blame me” platitudes

Plus using the Finals crowd as his basis of judgment.
