why empty space isn't really empty
The problem with buying from any of the above is the incentive underneath the label. When a brand changes hands this many times, the name becomes the product and the pan becomes a cost to be managed beneath it: thinner steel here, an offshored handle there, a warranty rewritten by lawyers instead of engineers, and so on…

reddit: Peanut butter and sweet pickles. When I was pregnant with my son, one day I was running late for work and asked my ( now ex) husband to make me a peanut butter sandwich. He thought it would be funny to put pickles on it so he put bread and butter pickle slices all over it. At lunch break I bit into it and to my surprise it wasn't too bad. The ladies I worked with weren't impressed because if I hadn't been able to eat it 6- month along me would have worked 8+ hours with no food and the only thing he put in the bag was the one sandwich.

[Cueball is talking to Megan who is behind a waist-high screen across a doorway with colorful playpen balls behind her.] Cueball: Hey, I was wondering if you had plans for-- holy crap, what happened to your apartment? Megan: I filled it with playpen balls! Cueball: I... what? Why? [Megan is seen from the front through the door with the colored balls behind her.] Megan: Because we're grown-ups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means. [Cueball is seen from the side standing next to the open door. Megan cannot be seen, except her hands on the screen, but some of the colored balls can be seen through the door. A beat panel.] [Same view but both have entered into the apartment, with colored balls spilling out into the corridor so that the screen, Cueball, and Megan are no longer shown.] Cueball and Megan: ♥

Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls that Ashley Brouillette said she received from her ex-husband via his current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday. “He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.” She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and told him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.” “In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.

David Fogel‬ ‪@davidfogel.bsky.social‬ · 2h Fine but the job of the CEO of the league is to increase viewers, participants. The fact that BTS, Madonna, Shakira etc are performing will undoubtedly increase participation by millions of people who otherwise wouldn’t give a toss. ‪Pedroasani‬ ‪@pedroasani.com‬ · 2h This circus is for Americans. Everyone else will watch because the last final had 1.5 billion viewers. ‪David Fogel‬ ‪@davidfogel.bsky.social‬ · 2h 95% of Americans haven’t heard of BTS ; 70% don’t care about Shakira. Madonna is arguably the biggest global female pop star of a generation - half time curated by Brit Chris Martin. You’re wrong and this final will absolutely demolish previous records in part bc of halftime.

The 22-year-old walked out and saw what appeared to be a person on the ground on Pool Street, then heard yelling from other neighbors and cries from a family in distress — two women and a young child. “She couldn’t have been older than three,” said Humiston, who has a 2-year-old son. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

What I would ask of everyone at the table is simply that they respect the diversity of America and the wisdom of trying to compete effectively across this vast and varied land rather than trying to cancel each other. And I would urge people whose passion in life is shifting public opinion rather than responding to it to find a different line of work than electoral politics.
