Here’s the CBC News Obituary piece.

Bauza, a Canadian, was originally from Scarborough in the Greater Toronto Area.

They won’t remain in the packing in our home, but they may help motivate some uptake of cooking skills among the not quite adults.

Some of both. A 1701 grey Dutch oven and a deep bluegreen Klingon braised are available in the ceramic-enameled cast iron. The shuttle is ceramic bakeware. There are also Starfleet and Klingon knobs that can replace the plain ones you may already have.

I balked at Le Creuset for decades due to the price.

Once we got our first Dutch oven, there was no going back. It’s so much less hassle cooking to have pots and braisers that work well. The price is worth it, especially if you shop the online sales and get 30 or 40% off. However, these are full price plus a premium over regular equivalents.

That said, it took my partner less than 2 hours to ask which items we should be ordering…

This is one time the merch will be worth it.

I find it interesting how much attention franchise fans give to crowd-sourced ratings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes when we know that they are brigaded. Why give any credence to manipulated data?

As I have been watching more content from China recently, I have learned that the manipulation of social media and streaming audience data, especially ratings, is a very high profile public discussion outside North America.

In fact, there have been repeated attempts to develop and patent algorithms in China to detect manipulated ratings and streaming audience data and correct for them. None have successfully proved they can clean up brigading and manipulation to the satisfaction of national authorities.

I think that I can almost enjoy how much people are getting bent out of shape by this on other social media. (I confess to scanning a few of the comments under that TrekMovie article.)
