Generally, artificial sweeteners are chemically synthesized while natural sweeteners are grown and refined.

I used to grow the stevia plant in my garden.

It's interesting to read people's reactions to stevia. I don't seem to have the same reactions/aftertaste others point out.

I much prefer stevia over other sweeteners. I wonder if there is some sort of cilantro type thing going on.

Edit: Turns out stevia can taste different to other people!

Don't worry, he wrote Trumpy Dumpty who now personally approves funds if you kiss ass. /s

On the plus side, stevia isn't artificial.

Alcohol is a great solvent and widely used in flavor extracts such as orange and almond concentrating and preserving the essence of flavors.

It's use can add natural flavors to a great variety of recipes.

Court is our legal opportunity to defend ourselves; sometimes our last defense of our rights.

Trump can't have the peons exploiting the rich's privilege to delay, defend, and just jump straight to deny.

They're never wrong anyway. Trust them. /s

(Edit: I use "peons" to encompass non-rich Americans and immigrants alike. Not used derogatorily to single out specific folks or groups.)

Great time to negotiate a salary increase.

Though to be honest if you were working that job, I imagine you weren't financially struggling.

Where's the outrage?

It's something Marjorie Taylor Greene bleated so I'll hold off until there is verifiable proof before I grab a pitchfork.

Nice! I hear those are fun little cars.

My first car is a 2004 Honda Accord. I say is, because I still have the bugger as my daily!

I remember my dad had me do all sorts of safety, reliability, and cost of ownership research before coming up with a short list of potentials. It was fun, but a lot of work; worth it in hindsight. I downplayed some of the details such as 240 hp or a 0-60 time of less than 6 seconds with "uh, it's a Honda". Felt like I sort of got away with something for a first car. Haha!

Grr! That smug-arse thumbnail. Such a punchable face. I have no idea why it gives me such anxiety... That shade of lifelessness and pale eyes.

I hear the blog is well written. It's just that thumbnail!

History shows nothing good will come of this.

It's sort of one of those lines in the sand; you know what side you're on if this is happening.

On one hand, long overdue. On the other hand, part of me would rather see Donny T's fugly mug stamped on the front and "One Cent Trump Token" on the back.

Since it's a waste of money, he'd still be screwing us even after he's gone; Ahh, the legacy continues.

I'm out in the boonies at the moment and the last market I passed had a 6-pack of eggs for $6.40.

I wouldn't count on it. Been getting those letters for a good 10 years.

That industry is rife with exploitation; I've collected pages and pages of resume builders, entry level, junior, blah blah blah. Budgets are low because work and experience isn't valued. If you do make it work, congratulations, you're the rare example.

I switched careers from video/film because I didn't want to live out of a car and other jobs paid better.

Oh no, they can track hundreds of millions of devices, profile and serve ads to them instantly, but calendars... Grrr!

Yeah, just seconding your internet source recommendation. The price was right.

I use openweathermap and it works great for my needs and it's free (they switched to an account based service recently but still free for small stuff)

For internal temp sensors, I use my ZigBee thermostat and a window AC unit that has a temp sensor available to Home Assistant.

Nothing fancy for me, yet anyways, but works for my needs.

Yeah, Biden did it first, but in his defence, Trump's idea of "security" was a disused bathroom at Mar-a-Lago sooooo...

Meh, at this point the less either of them know the better.

Ahhh cute sneks. We didn't have a snake community last I checked but that was ages ago.

Me too! I was remembering the Intel incident when they discovered processors didn't calculate math correctly and turned a batch into keychains. I still have mine somewhere ...
