Well, the US has had us do ESTA for almost 2 decades ;)

I have a steel 1/2 teaspoon measureing spoon that I sharpened one edge. Holding it in one hand with strawberry in the other and it scoops out the stem quickly with one move. Easy peasy.

Although the aftermath looks like a murder scene I also pit cherries this way

This method also works really well with cherries!

Only if your pay went up.

So... they asked people how their water was? That’s hardly scientific or useful at the state level. That’s more if people are mad their local water utility charging them so much for watering their lawn

I genuinely could not tell you the last time I drank a beverage with actual sugar in it. I bet it’s been close to a decade.

Yepp. My number one weight loss tip is to stop drinking calories.

Yeah, I’m not sure the point of that statement by the WHO. Sure, in practice relying on switching to diet soda alone for weight loss will probably fail. But MOST diets fail, and it is an incontrovertible fact that regular soda contains digestible calories, and diet soda doesn’t.

Agreed, although it isn’t a catalyst for weight loss, substitution of diet over sugar will aid in an overall weight loss strategy for individuals who previously consumed the sugar/high fructose... variants.

the idea that substituting an ingredient that has zero calories for one that has more than zero calories will not lead to weight-less -everything else being equal is frankly unscientific

I appreciate the clear break down of this, as there are so many fear mongers that for decades have acted like Aspartame will kill you. I know at least half a dozen people’s who’s health, energy, and weight changed dramatically after switching from sugar soda to diet - myself being one of them. So even though WHO might…

Fully agree. Thought it was pretty bad at first, but was hooked by the mid-season finale. Then I started rewatching it from the beginning, actually with my 6-year-old, and realized I was wrong about it being bad - is is (was) such a good show, and a really nice way to get a kid into ST

That’sa major letdown. I didn’t expect much from Prodigy, but after getting through season 1 I’d say it’s perhaps the best of the modern Trek shows. Only Strange New Worlds comes close. Discovery and Picard are vastly inferior to Prodigy.

Damn. I know it’s a kid show and I’m 40-something, but Prodigy was really starting to grow on me. 

The bulk of those episodes are spent on the show’s central mystery, not on the debate around a mystery the way the courtroom-oriented episodes are.

Why?

From Variety: “Those on the show will complete post-production on Season 2 and then CBS Studios will be free to shop it to other outlets."

This week’s SNW was excellent. And Drumhead is one of my favorite TNG episodes.

You are 100% correct.
