Even in a group of a lot of big airports, Istanbul is huge. Besides the things mentioned, there’s an enormous mall, all still within the security area. If I remember correctly, there are 6 Burger Kings in the airport! I think I measured on the map that from one end of the terminal, through the mall, and to the other…

I like really crunchy stuff, but I agree that it seemed to be especially harder and drier along with the increase in salt.

Easy for me; it was a Honda Element. I was part of a volunteer media crew that followed the 2006 One Lap of America, taking photos, sticking video cameras on cars, and doing interviews. There were four of us in an Element for 10 days and about 4000 miles. Pro: There is an amazing amount of leg room in the back. Con:…

Looking forward to trying these. I like the original recipe spices. I used to like the popcorn chicken, but it seems like it’s gotten really salty the past couple of years.

There are no “read receipts” built into email

Low-key Loki gnocchi

“...put points on the board....”

Is it still “alleged” since Cohen went to prison for it?!?

Note that this is specifically the screenshot editing tool that pops up at the bottom of the screen when you take a screenshot. The Google Photos editing tool (which is what I’ve always used the few times I’ve cropped a screenshot) is not the same thing and is not affected by this.

I planted Greek oregano a couple of years ago, and I dry some every year. It already has a lemony edge to it, so I bet that would work great with this recipe. I guess the grated garlic is the emulsifier for this dressing?

My favorite Reese’s seasonal product is the Reester Bunny! It clearly is a different, better quality of chocolate than is used for “regular” Reese’s cups. And the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter is just about perfect.

I think there’s a fairly high chance that every building and structure in existence has mice in it. They may not always be seen, but they’re probably there.

I’ve had perfect results from respiratory maneuvers for stopping hiccups. What I do is exhale as far as possible, and when I think I’ve pushed all the air out, try to push out a bit more. Then I inhale as deeply as possible, and hold it for a few seconds, not too long. I’ve never had that fail to stop my hiccups.

While I’m not deaf, I keep my phone set on silent, and yet I still find it enormously useful. Modern cell phones are barely ever used for audio phone calls. Most cell phones today, especially the popular ones like Galaxy, Pixel, and iPhone, have built-in captioning and transcription capabilities.

Denny’s is doing some interesting things. Here in the small downstate IL town where I work, I was looking at restaurants on Google, and I saw one close by that I’d never heard of. It turns out that Denny’s has kind of a ghost kitchen deal called “The Meltdown” with carry-out only versions of fancy grilled cheeses.…

I got a notice about the original recall, but it was less a “recall” than that they just said they would replace the hose at no charge if it started leaking in the next 10 years (or some similar period). Maybe this means they’re going to proactively change them instead?

They’re all part of SSM Health now. On their site I put in the ZIP, and the nearest maternity services it showed was in Shiloh. But when I go to the individual hospital site for Mt. Vernon, it does show they do birthing there. No longer in Centralia, though.

My wife was born here, as well. There won’t be any more babies born here, because the hospital no longer has a maternity department. 50 mile trip to the nearest one that does. Life in rural America. :(

Is this different from “Enable predictive back animations” that’s already available in Developer options in Android 13 on a Pixel?

Gasoline that’s in a sealed container isn’t going to change much over time. There’s nowhere for the volatiles to go, and the compounds are fairly stable without exposure to oxygen or water vapor. I don’t do anything special with my push mower at the end of the season, and it still starts on the first pull after 24…
