9/11. It was the only time in my life I saw newspapers publish extra editions.

For those too young, extra edition as in "extra, extra, read all about it," when a news story is so big that the newspapers publish a whole nother edition later in the day.

What you need is willpower. No way around it. Your options are:

Drink soda sweetened with sugar

Drink soda sweetened with artificial sweeteners

Drink unsweetened soda

Data's poem was written by real people trying to sound like a machine.

ChatGPT's poems are written by a machine trying to sound like real people.

While I think "Ode to Spot" is actually a good poem, it's kind of a valid point to make since the TNG writers were purposely trying to make a bad one.

Star Trek economy.

An idealized form of capitalism where there is no wealth inequality, no exploitation of labor, and everyone's basic needs are provided for.
