So by changing the set up to say Kenya, rather than Africa you obfuscate the punchline somewhat.

Season 1 that was true where was trying to be grim dark. But I’d say that was actually one of the things they fixed.

There’s few different criticisms of DISCO. From different perspectives

1. People who are concerned with canon have issues with the first couple of seasons because it’s set before TOS but has had a big visual reboot. They’d also probably argue that some of the story elements don’t fit in with canon.

2. The first season (at least) doesn’t feel very star trek, it’s got this whole grim dark thing going on. That is thankfully dropped later and you do get the normal hopefully outlook.

3. Characters aren’t developed very well. Even by the end I don’t think we’ve got to know anyone other than maybe Stamets and Tilly.

4. Plots often rely on the mystery box format, which has been disappointing when they don’t stick the landing

5. Plots are over whole seasons, when they probably don’t need to be.

6. Because of 5 production often started before writing had finished, and it shows. So you end up with a good start, a bunch of meandering, and then suddenly bam you’re at the final crisis.

I often find it an OK show.

I also find it quite frustrating that after the time jump they didn’t take the opportunity to tell some different more interesting stories. Grappling with how society would have changed unimaginably for this crew compared to what they’re used too (like in the forever war when we hear how earth has changed), or grappling with genetic modification (in show the eugenics wars were over a millennium ago at this point - surely the federation would have gotten over one species bad experience with it) etc etc.

I’ll think you’ll find it’s Ubiquitous, Mendacious Polyglottal Donkey ball

What do you mean by what?

Or change the set up “Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?”

If you’re doing it yourself you’ve got control over how much you’re adding. It’s the pre made sauces they are the problem where they use it as a cheap way of masking how shit the tomatoes they’re using are.

You need just a small amount.

Parmesan makes sense, it’s a bit alkaline so will act to help neutralise the acid. You could also put a small amount of bicarb in.

Add a tiny bit of bicarb to cut the acid down. Sugar just makes it sweeter and doesn’t actually do anything about the acid.

Homo floresiensis - 66lb (extinct)

Homo sapien -180lb

It worked so of course they didn’t extend it to other things with more hidden sugars (things like pasta sauce, flavoured yoghurts etc)

The tax was on the soft drink companies. To avoid it almost all of them changed their recipes to reduce sugar (partially replacing it with artificial sweeteners).

I think having them sometimes is normal. Constantly though, not so much.

Cataract appears to have a colour tone change and is uniformly blurry. Myopia is not focused on things in the foreground and there’s no red tinting.

Is it possible you have a slight colour vision deficiency? There’s quite a high percentage of the population that do.

The lockpicking lawyer scares me.

SNW is much better. It’s not a single story stretched to fit over a whole season helps a lot. It’s definitely one of the best of new era Trek.

Season 3 of Picard is better than the first couple, but doesn’t really add anything.

The stand out surprised at how god damned fucking good it is though is Prodigy. The first few episodes are a little bit childish, but after that it is excellent.

Eh?
