YMMV, but hitting the lock button 5 times is much faster and easier to do in the pocket vs. trying to get your phone to misread your fingerprint the requisite number of times. 

Yeah, this one seems like a lot of prep work that won’t pay off in the end. Plus the burgers are going to be so well done, they need to be covered in cheese and grits just to be edible. 

I think it’s what she describes in the write-up:

TBH, since I’ve been cooking, I’ve only bought/used unsalted. Virtually every recipe I’ve ever used calls for unsalted, and every chef/cooking instructor I’ve talked to about it says to use unsalted. It comes down to control over the salt level in your food. There is no ‘standard’ salt quantity for salted butter, so…

Not knowing the specifics of your setup, it could be that your slow cooker is wider than the kind used in the original recipe, which could result in your meat not being submerged whereas others would not have that problem. We have 2 slow cookers:

It takes a special kind of stupid, and the MAGAs have an overflowing supply of it....

Yup, which makes it extra stupid. “The Master Race”, my ass — not if Miller is supposed to be part of it. 

It’s the same as the idiots deplorables people on the right who destroyed their Kuerig coffee makers or their Yeti coolers because some moron commentator on Fox News told them that the company said a mean thing about Dear Leader or something. It’s their way of sticking it to the libs. I’m really waiting for the Fox…

OK, I’ll admit -- halfway through the story, I was expecting the waitress to service you more intimately than one would typically receive at a restaurant (unless you’re Tiger Woods or Rick Pitino). But free tix to a strip club is also nice....

You reap what you sow. There are consequences for our actions, which may impact our employment even if those actions occur on off-hours. If his employer chooses not to associate itself with a racial-profiling likely bigot, they are well within their rights to fire him. As an employer, employees taking the position…

Some might call it asshattishness, others call it karma. 

There’s a pizza chain in central Ohio called Massey’s. Oddly, they have one outpost in Pawleys Island, SC, which we hit on vacation. On a recommendation, we ordered their World Famous Pepperoni Pizza. It was loaded (though this is their stock photo, what we received looked just like it):

So the muffin tops have a ‘remnant of a stump’? That seems ... unnecessary. And in any event, if we learned anything from Seinfeld, it is that one must bake the whole muffin and then detach the stump. Or does this magic pan leave enough stump that can be removed to make it ideal?

Yeah, they’re called cookie sheets, right? I mean, how specialized a pan do you need to make a muffin top with a flat bottom??

Holy.... That is awesome, and a much easier solution than having to hold down two buttons or talking to Siri. Thanks for that tip (now I just have to remember it should the cops ever ask for my phone — not that they’d have a reason to, of course...).

I see the words you typed, but I’m afraid I’m no closer to an answer....

Looks like it’s still available, on the east coast at least:

Rationally speaking, our system of federalism does not require a federal ID and strongly argues against it. Irrationally speaking, large swaths of the populace on both sides of the political spectrum would view a mandatory federal ID as some totalitarian maneuver so that the Government (i.e., Big Brother) can track…

Agreed. If he wanted it only to be attributed to a Baylor official, he needed to get that agreed to up front. At least he didn’t begin the email with “This is off the record, but...” -- which, to be clear, would also have been inoperative because he didn’t get the reporter’s agreement ahead of time.
