Not really—it’s the public battle, not Jolie. This is a terrible headline, but I don’t think the headline writer is terrible.

Me too. Thanks for mentioning that.

I did last year, though it was a huge upheaval. You sometimes hear North Carolina described as “not the deep South,” but when you find out about the gerrymandering, the university politics, HB2, and so forth, you realize that’s a pretty low bar.

Fight me, old people.

“And as someone who carves trees for a living, I understand gouging.”

... all the kitchen and table knives of my immediate acquaintance seem ergonomically agnostic about handedness, with straight symmetrical grips and any blade curvature in the vertical plane.

I was going to argue with you about the side mirrors, but then... when you’re right, you’re right.

I’ve tried several of the extras mentioned, but just one ingredient is critical for me: celery seed.  I don’t know why (even if it’s in addition to crunchy celery bits) but it makes it good.

Great story. Excellent work and persistence, Umoja.

When I’m exercising on the treadmill in my apartment building, I always put the TV on the Food Channel, because it’s watchable without sound or subtitles. Under those conditions, DDD is pretty much my favorite.

Oh, great. My company will have to completely rewrite its information security procedures.
