My granddaughter (1 year old) got a hold of my laptop and "typed" some gibberish which happened to be on a new Chrome tab and she got the Yeti.
Cute when you aren't trying to find something for work.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Having just watched episode 1, I am here to report that: yes, it's Star Trek.
Whether that's good or bad depends on whether you like Star Trek.
- Low-effort humanoid aliens. There is an official excuse for this, but they're still low-effort humanoids. Slap on a Facial Feature and call it a day.
- Uninspired reflection of/on current state of the world.
- Violating the prime directive is Good, Actually if you're the main character. Otherwise it's bad.
- Human morality is superior to anything else found in the entire universe. "Correcting" aliens is our job.
It looks good though, and I didn't see anything like a "bunch of potted plants in a studio to pretend we're outdoors".

I kind of fell asleep watching it.
It looks really boring.

We don't get it here until the end of June ... but I am concerned about the "episodic" nature it promises. "All wrapped up in one episode" worked for TOS and TNG, but even Voyager and Enterprise had "longer arc" elements. One of the really good things (for me) about DS9, Discovery, and Picard were the more modern storytelling over a season with local detail elements per episode
I just suspect it'll feel short and shallow as a result - like TNG did once Babylon 5 started foreshadowing.

Yes EP1 was definitely a self-contained episode, the major plot lines started and ended. Not much set-up for further episodes (I'm not counting the teaser trailer at the end), except introducing some characters. It could have been a movie.

I'll take the potted plants in a studio with good storytelling (aka TOS, TNG) over some production that only focuses on getting the special effects look good.

Seems like humans spend a lot of time doing that with other humans also. So of course it must be correct.

I would say that my walking speed is a very insignificant fraction thereof.

I'm pretty light footed and therefore must be pretty healthy?

My mom and I have a weekly walk of about 8 km at an average tempo of 7 km/h (or slightly above, like 7.2 km).
Their neighbors describe us as "shooting past at high speed."
Guess I'm 18 then

Keeping up a walking speed of more than 7 km/h most definitely is brisk walking!
I used to do that in my student days (my way of coping with deep frustrations was to do a 21 km walk in 3 hours), but if my mom had been with me, I guess the walk would have taken twice as long ...
Growing older, I have always insisted that for any distance that I can walk in less than half an hour, using the car is more a hassle than a transportation tool. Between half an hour and one hour walking distance: It depends. Finding a parking space downtown is such a hassle that I prefer to walk, even if it takes 45 minutes to the furthest parts of downtown. If parking is easy and I don't have to pass any toll station, I might use the car.
If walking distance exceeds one hour, nowadays I choose the car, in particular if I would also have to spend an hour walking home. Even though walking is good for my body, I am not willing to spend two hours on a round trip. I've got other things to do as well.
Nowadays, 'always walk' has been reduced to about 2.5 km, 'always drive' starts at about 5 km. I can't keep up a speed of 7 km/h for an entire hour. But friends still claim that they can recognize me from far away on my walking style, long before they see my face

The only reason I'm that fast is because I walk with my mom
She's a life long walker/runner.
If I'm by myself I probably walk somewhere between 5 and 6 km/h, probably closer to 6 km/h.
I rarely walk, but I take the bike a lot.
Including to work, which is currently 14 km.
Although with 14 km (about 45 minutes, single trip) I tend to take the car more often (like every day for the past two weeks...  )
Before this, my office was 6 km away and I took my bike every single day, no exceptions.

I'm 72 and walk 3 times a week for about 1 Mile at a brisk pace. Not the speed of light, however.
I feel healthier and stronger than before I started exercising. It has also helped me to lose weight and avoid things like adult-onset diabetes.
If I had known of the benefits, I would have started a long time ago.
In my experience the article is correct. We all spend too much time sitting in a chair staring at a computer screen.

I'm 74 and walk at least 2-4 miles everyday! Not fast, but not slow, just a speed to enjoy the view. Keeps the back strong for gardening, fishing and poker.

I'm relying on the fact that we are all travelling through the space-time continuum at the speed of light, so I don't have to mess with this walking business.

A huge argument exists among health experts on this.
Currently, the two biggest camps are...
- HIIT "High Intensity Interval Training"
- LISS "Low Intensity Steady State"
Search for "HIIT or LISS ?" and you'll get hits by the hundreds
Both sides claim to have reams of science behind them.
According to me: Anything that gets anyone away from FaceBook and/or PokeMon is a positive life influence.
