“It is NOT illegal to ask these questions. It is only illegal to make hiring decisions based on responses.”

There was also a SWORD logo on the cover of the notebook of the guy who was monitoring Wanda at the end of the first episode.

If they thought they were sticking it to the Obamas, they seriously miscalculated. Because it was the Obama Secret Service detail that was left to clean up the mess. And it was them - not the Obamas - who banned the Trump/Kushner detail from using the bathroom anymore.

Exactly! It’s the same way that people say everything tastes like chicken. Because chicken has almost no flavor and can be made to taste like anything else.

Yeah, stage 4 is never good. It’s not necessarily an immediate death sentence, but very very few people with stage 4 will survive 10 years. And the chances dwindle the further out you go.

A new accessory coming on 2022 models ... A white-tipped cane that sticks out of your grill, and taps back and forth as you drive!

Fats definitely coat the flour proteins, but cakes generally use solid fats (butter, shortening, lard, etc.) and the creaming method. Liquid fats are generally used for things made via the muffin method (muffins, quick breads, pancakes, etc.). Liquid fats definitely add moisture, but I don’t know that they reduce glute…

It only gets worse as you get older. Especially when you know the people.

That is one of many ways black ice forms. Black ice is any thin film of ice over a dark surface - such as pavement or water - that is visually transparent, causing dangerous conditions for vehicles, pedestrians, sailors, etc. And the term has been in use in America since between 1820 and 1830.

The only reason the 23rd Amendment was required for this was because they were giving DC the right to vote in presidential elections without making them a state.

Yes, it is absolutely a cold larder. Apparently “California cooler” is just a local variation on the name.

My assumption here is that these roof sections are just made like this. Sometimes it’s cheaper to just make everything uniform than to make two versions of the same product.

“...the camera doesn’t change who you are...”

“Nobody seems to deny she needed the psych eval, and her own lawyer supported her getting it - after all, you can be having a mental health crisis AND be trying to tell the cops something true and important and scary. [indeed, there’s probably a correlation]”

“...or a flourished fall, like a directional twinkle, sliding ridge, etc.”

Grifting is making money through illegal or dishonest means. Swindles, frauds, cons, dishonest gambling, etc. Some dictionaries say that it only covers small-scale swindles, but others make no distinction.

The cellulose/collagen casings are actually left on the sausages and hot dogs. They are completely edible, and are a modern version of the intestines/skin that used to be used for sausages.

You’ve been eating seaweed in lots of things without knowing it.

If it was just that one name I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. I would have assumed it was either a Jethro Tull reference, or the guy was a boxing fan and was referencing the Ali/Forman bout.

That’s the one thing I don’t think I agree with here. I’m not sure it’s never acceptable to mention someone’s former name, as long as it’s done respectfully. And only once, when the person is first mentioned. And there’s no need to expand on it in any way.
