Well, let's see, we had
TOS (The Original Series)
STNG (Star Trek Next Generation)
STDS9 (Deep Space Nine)
STV (Voyager)
STE (Star Trek Enterprise)
And now we have
STD
You would think that by the time the 23rd century comes around, they would have to deal with STDs any more...

As someone who s-canned my TV because of commercials many years ago, I have no idea what CBS All Access is.
I'm guessing it's the usual advertisement infested garbage where they took shows, edited them to remove all the humor, then slapped ads all over them, chopped them up to fit in their time slots and blast them at blithering idiots?
If so, bye bye Star Trek. No broadcast networks for me.
(and that's my favorite show, all the back to 1969)

it's where you subscribe to have access to watch the show on your digital device and still get hit with advertisements. Grrrr.

WTF.
I getting more and more inclined towards don't mess with ant hill way. Let them do whatever they want in their homeland. You are not allowed here and we don't care what happens there approach is seems sensible.
Note: Any further discussions on this should be in Soapbox/Backroom IMHO.

I can see this thread deteriorating rapidly. It should really have been in the Soapbox.

It just struck me: an interesting consideration the the current news of the day should be in the SoapBox.
Just an interesting consideration.

This could too easily drift into a SoapBox matter. Hopefully, I won't.
The reality is our western perspective doesn't apply to rational decisions from non-western perspectives.
Being kind, forgiving, or helpful is often seen as appeasement is a sign of weakness - and vultures don't bring you a canteen of water if you collapse in the desert. The wait for the proper moment to feed on your flesh.
Israel has been suffering from this many little attacks for quite a while. The Swedish foreign minister condemned them for shooting the knife/gun/car wielder without a trial. For all practial purposes, encouragement. Now it's in the EU. Now what?

Some people might have predicted that Germany would see an increase in this type of events....not sure who those people were *whistles*

Mr Herrmann said he was "incensed" by the attack which, he continued, demonstrated the need to "strengthen controls on those we have living in our country".
Hmmm. My response, beyond "the policy a certain presidential candidate..." is probably better left for the S.B.

So next year, he'll no doubt start making speeches about lebensraum.

So sadly true. All one can hope for is to find a way to make those who want to ruin free society, via fear, to find fear, themselves.

I just saw the landing page[^] for this. The kind of things these kids are thinking of is amazing. I am sure they haven't seen that pokemon game yet.

Something I've often wondered.
I had to gather the financial resources to by my own chemicals and stuff. That, of course, doesn't even include anything like a laboratory.
Where do these kids get the equipment and resources to do this stuff? A real lot of these require a real lot of money (on the development side). If it's sponsored, how do they get on the que? Who is selected and how?
Note that this is not a complaint: free opportunities for education and resources, at least to the gifted (can of worms now wide open) is a bargain. One success in a thousand pays for all the rest, economically, and helps the world out. A real bargain.

I don't think they would have a ready to use product. They might have made a prototype using whatever they could buy or whatever their schools would have provided. May be their parent's friend circle might have helped.
I don't know how they did this. I am just speculating.

I'm talking about that - the resources required for very many of these is out of the reach of the 'mere mortals' amongst us.
Where I live, a girl won a Westinghouse award for her invention/project/scholarship - coincidentally in the field in which her father works. The rest is open to speculation -
