You can use it instead of a toaster for stuff like bread, bagels. It also does roast veggies very well. I use it to crisp paneer sometimes to put into saag paneer. French fries. Reheating pizza. You can make a decent psuedo chimichanga without the oil as well.

I loved learning about that time that some whacko was able to walk into the PM residence and surprised Mrs. Chrétien making tea in a night gown (my recollection of the specifics are fuzzy)

Someone should send this to Will, because he was wondering on todays ep if loomer did any product grifts… I’d say, yes, yes she does.

Thank you for saving my time clicking through—I always check the comments on these kinds of articles to see if someone else has taken the bullet and decided to warn the rest of us. o7

Bro has so many pronouns. Conservatives these days! What happened to just a simple they/them?!???!

Was gonna say way no way, he’s one of the only people I’m sure has a good heart. But jokes aside—very glad to hear there’s a potential treatment, and very much hope all goes well.

If only someone could do something, anything… to stop this horrible tragedy!

It realllly looks like sadam. Cartier got some extra bang for his buck without even knowing it-thanks AI

No I didn’t know that, would be interesting to see more of them try it, just for curiositys sake.

It makes me wonder—would the dynamic change if there was only an upvote? So you could choose not to upvote, but the default action would be a neutral one, and if you liked/wanted to support/etc you could signal that.

I see tons of posts on here now that are downvoted to oblivion, because they are a legitimate article that says something a group doesn’t like. There won’t even be comments on the post. So like a Reuter article that discusses Palestinian casualties and no comments and like -20. This doesn’t seem like a super useful mechanism. Or at least, it’s just functioning today as a content preference “I don’t want to see this typed content” as opposed to “this is bad info, out of line with the community, etc.”

And despite ranking my list by either hot, or top day/six hours, I still see the downvoted posts regularly so the mechanic doesn’t even really do anything in terms of visibility. Or possibly there’s just too little content on a given community for it to get filtered out.

It’s been a moment since I lived there, but I’d say the KY side would be less desirable based on your stated needs.

I lived in the Clifton/ northside area near the university, that’s a pretty good progressive area. Oakley would probably be pretty good too, a bit more residential / young families etc. I was in grad school and the cooler younger profs I had tended to live on Oakley for example.

OTR might be interesting as well, not sure how things have gone since I was last there.

Mass transit and diversity are… touch and go in Cincinnati, but it’s generally a decent place, I enjoyed my time there. I’m from Baltimore and I’d say cincy is about as historically racially segregated Baltimore is, which is to say: a lot.

I’d say it’s definitely possible to do mass transit and bikes for sure, but there are thing a where a car makes things much easier.

Also I’m not trying to shit on Covington/newport, but it’s just probably a slightly less good fit based on all the standard reasons you’d imagine. Newport in particular was a kind of party night destination when I was there. Maybe it’s massively changed though.

Take what I say with a grain of salt—it’s been a decade since I lived there. Easily my favorite “big” city in Ohio though. Great bars and food, good topo, some great parks. A personal fav of mine was walking around spring grove, 19th cent huge cemetery. That sounds morbid, but it’s also an arboretum and very beautiful.

When I used to have panic attacks, the only thing that used to work for me was controlled breathing. There’s a bunch of different protocols one can follow, but the one I used at the time was circular breathing or something similar: in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Think of a sorta squared circle. You can adjust those numbers for comfort, but rapid breathing quickly ramps up the response, so it’s important to short circuit that and establish equilibrium. Vagal breathing is similar and can also work well, I think that one is usually something like breath in for 3-4, breath out for 6-8. Again you can tinker with the numbers, you just want the ratio.

I practice these sometimes when I drive long distances, although that makes sense for me since my acute panic attacks developed randomly involving specific parameters on highways…

And of course: meditation. It will definitely help with this sort of thing if you can do it consistently. Unfortunately I’ve never figured that consistency part out, myself.

Gotcha so the idea is they’re just gonna give it a shot and try to eat you, regardless, because the stakes, they are high?

To be fair, in a moral sense, they should absolutely try and eat every human they can get their claws on; we have done a bang up job on making their habitat and food sources disappear.

So are polar bears considered more dangerous and aggro than grizzlies? I mean it wouldn’t be too crazy, particularly since it’s probably rare to encounter one, compare to grizzlies. But just had never really heard that.

Kinda wild they built this 3k years ago. Usually this sort of thing is only done now because it can be seen from the air, but back then it would have been hard to see it in its entirety.

Maybe they had alien friends and it was like a visual street address for the saucers to find them by.

Or maybe they had a high point or tower nearby so you could see it from there, who knows.

Haha that makes so much sense, in the fried-brain thinking that people like the tweet OP exist within.

What happens if a lesbian married a trans femme is it like uno reverse? (Because in the twisted minds of these people, this would be a straight marriage, since the trans femme is obviously a self hating man, regardless of what she wants to be, and the lesbian, despite being a horrible deviant, has married a man while pursuing her preference)

Ah ok gotcha. Seems like a shitty one—gay marriage is about orientation, transgenderism is about bio gender/identity, but I suppose the implication is that it’s all deviance and gay marriage is the gateway drug. Such an exhausting spectacle, but I guess it’s easier to hate others than deal with your own shit…

I don’t… understand. What does gay marriage have to do with women’s sports. Is the idea that gay marriage is somehow causing trans people to exist or some shit?

Sorry that could be on me… my first confused thought was it was a nuke or something, then I went ah! Sundowning. So probably just me tricking myself first.

It’s a little vague, but I think it’s supposed to be sundowning.
