Thank you! 

Thank you! 

I quit without anything lined up because I was about to break. My company had done literally nothing to help anyone out during COVID (one coworker was told to work at home but wasn’t given permission to bring her only computer—a desktop—home to work with her until two weeks later). Two people on my already…

I mean, it wasn’t the worst song, but for the wrong reasons. An excerpt of the more complete lyrics:

Doesn’t this happen to some extent every year?

It’s becoming a little trendy to do that, photography-wise right now. In this context I think it actually works well to demonstrate that they aren’t traveling or taking these in a studio. They’re outside with their crew and not wearing masks, so I can appreciate showing that detail. Even outside, the drape provides a…

most French-based words do not pronounce the last letter

I guess I don’t have a strong opinion on the 11th so I’m happy to take your word for it. The lines seem drawn better than they were before.

A little bit of the first, but it’s also probably smaller than you think. Asheville the entire city has a population of 90,000. For a while in the 2010s Asheville was split between the 10th & 11th districts. As of 2021 it’s all the way back into the 11th district. North Carolina has some very heavily gerrymandered…

That’s the worst. If I recall correctly if your account was out at my school, you got a credit that day and you just had to pay for it later. 

That is so dumb. Why not have it coded into the system. Why does it have to be visible. Ugh.

I bought lunch at school through elementary, and I have not the foggiest which of my classmates had free lunch or not. Know why? Because our parents were all required to pay in advance, so everyone had a “lunch number.” When you got to the cashier, she took your number, and the cost was deducted from your account.…

Only if you teach them how to use it first. Otherwise they have to subsist on pistachios.

It makes things salty because the salty part is the sodium in what you’re describing. Sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate are two different versions of salt.

Why would this approach enhance the caffeine? There’s no additional caffeine in an egg. The Arabian Business and Eater articles both make this claim but neither substantiate it with any further explanation. Why would clarifying the coffee improve your uptake of caffeine from said coffee?

Might be this one:

Agree... and if you click through the photos, which I’m kind of embarrassed to admit to, but - there’s a server in the background of one of the photos, absolutely wearing a mask in the midst of like 30 people just hanging out. Must be surreal to wait tables at this kind of thing anyway and then to add the pandemic on…

I went to look at the photo, thinking she was in a crowd, or something, where this might go mostly unnoticed or it was captured in a moment of moving her hand or scratching an itch... But unfortunately no. Not that subtle, actually. Pretty front and center. 

Amy Schumer Learns to Cook has been a real light in some dark times. She is usually so-so for me on the humor but apparently, if you just add food & drink and a straight man (her husband) to play off of, it’s a win. 

Daily Mail reports that after initial celebration of catching something in the claw, it dropped before making it to the chute. :-)
