Technically, they didn’t uphold a ban, they upheld the indefinite suspension but said that they need to decide on a “defined penalty” within 6 months. So, it looks like we’re going to go through another news cycle where Facebook is going to have to end his suspension and actually say whether he’s banned or not.

I acquired a nice air fryer from work and gave it away with using it as I didn’t have a need. I have since encountered a few potential uses for it that made me regret not playing around with it. I’m never making batches of things like fries or kids foods like chicken nuggets but I would’ve tried it for this. Frozen…

Maybe beignets. Since they come last when I’m likely full and I don’t drink coffee, I never really need them but if they’re there, I’ll likely order them. Even though they aren’t complicated to make, I never want to deep fry anything at home.

True, among other potential deficiencies (especially Bs). I’m mostly vegetarian and I don’t really eat fish, beef, or fortified dairy so I take a D supplement. I also live in Seattle so I’d be taking one for much of the year anyway. There’s a pretty wide range between daily recommended allowance and a dose that could…

I can’ stop reading that and laughing. It shouldn’t be anywhere near as funny as I find it.

I just got back (this afternoon) from a hike in Washington where an old guy who I waited to let pass on the trail smirked and told me that I didn’t have to wear a mask because the CDC and Biden said so and so Inslee would soon. The implication is that I was only wearing it because I was told I had to. Because in his…

It included a recommendation of eating roughly a quarter-pound (0.9 kilograms) of red meat a week, a drastic reduction from the American average of more than 1 pound (0.5 kilograms) per week.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. came to give a little speech to the students

These types of “calls” need to be treated as if they are warrants in the sense that they need to be documented and preserved so individuals and courts can access them to evaluate whether there was actually any sort of probable cause that cops were acting on in good faith. I know courts have held that cops can lie to…

Um, not to mention who married him and why. I don’t want to criticize a misogynist with a potentially misogynistic take but...this joke could easily describe Melania, who literally slept and accompanied her way to fame and fortune and I don’t even know if that’s a debatable assertion. Hers seems like the most obvious…

You mean the “Italian” one of these? Or was there another?

I don’t think they were made to order per se because I distinctly remember the vertical holder they had for those tube sleeves that allowed one to see which flavor(s) they had ready. They were so, so superior to regular pies.

Grilled onions are not the only good thing about In-N-Out but they are the defining differentiator for me. It’s telling how uncommon they are. I assume they must be a pain to make in assembly line-style kitchens where ingredients are typically per-prepped and speed is paramount.

“Synergy!”

Taco Bell Gordita (technically, Gordita Supreme). It was by far my favorite basic menu item overall for years. It’s especially infuriating as they still have the exact same components (Cheesy Gordita Crunch). For a while after it was discontinued, I would still order it and they would just ring it as a Chalupa with a…

Came here for this. Glad to know they are on the case.

Possibly the one thing he said that I can abide:

What? China has not been producing more green energy than that from coal. Not even close. As of 2019, they were 58% coal, 20% oil, 8% gas, 15% renewables. The trend lines are converging but they’re decades away from crossing.

Speaking of irreparable damages, “A single bitcoin transaction uses roughly 707.6 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy–equivalent to the power consumed by an average U.S. household over 24 days.” We’re innovating our way straight into the inevitable climate disaster.
