Agreed.

And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive…

No, but your weird obsession with ridiculously unhealthy food is somewhat interesting.

So the answer is to not visit the US then.

There is also the growing awareness, that you shouldn’t send sick kids to school.

My 8yo had a flu, was off school for 8 days until he felt well enough. That was one incident…if you have a one bad sickness and a couple of minor ones throughout the term, you are going to hit your 15 days pretty quickly.

He actually went back to school a day earlier than I would have liked, because he was missing his friends; and he was mostly better.

Some families are sending their sick kids to school; they simply cannot afford to miss work. This causes issues for others. This happens every year, worst in winter.

Maybe if we encouraged kids to be at school, making it easy to get there and feeding the ones who don’t have enough food…supporting the families in need. Na, lets just punish our way out of the problems. NB the beatings will continue until morale improves.

If you liked The Expanse, check out For All Mankind.

It feels almost like a prequel, set a couple of hundred years before the events in the series.

Hell, the villains have more character development than protagonists in other shows.

Also Uncle Iroh, it possibly the greatest male role model in TV.

Madam, why does your hat have a mirror on top?

Deep sigh!

The lack of critical thinking on display here is so disappointing. The whole SovCit movement is quite sad. These are people who obviously feel they have no control; so they use magical thinking to feel in control of their lives…

If it wasn’t for our massive moat, I’m sure Act would have suggested something similar already.

The populist rhetoric that lot spout is quite worrying at times.

When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say “zero”, then spot 31 is “one” etc… till you are at spot 35 saying “five”.

Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as “one”

NO!

That orange tinge, it makes me a little unhinged; maybe my views are a little fringe but I just don’t like his cringe.

How about both.

He saved them in the sense that they were on the chopping block before the public backlash.

But; now they are a much worse version of what they used to be.

I mean wouldn’t it be crazy, to get something like people are eating cats and dogs publicly said.

As usual, the feelings of politicians trump evidence.

NAFf feel that tax cuts are more important than the kids, so we get tax cuts.

Exactly right.

There is no way to get rid of the shadow profile.

Listen. And understand. Time is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

I suppose he does have a small right hand.

Whats right with Trump?
