I guess things like dicing = 1/4" cubes

Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.

This belongs on a t-shirt in Spencer’s.

The source material isn’t great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I’d never want to read them again.

I’ve watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they’re doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.

Wait so t-tex and steggy never hung out? :'(

He was from Cuba, his father was in Cuba, his uncle was in the USA and wanted to keep him here. He needed to be returned to his father but it should’ve been via negotiation. The raid was not the way to go. IIRC Janet Reno just got impatient with diplomacy?

Straight to jail.

Spike from Buffy was my crack cocaine for a while there

Girl, yes!!

Those cats were fast as lightning

Oh I like twisty ties! Because I just wrap it once around the bag, then I get to spin the bread like a nunchuck to twist it all up

Lawful neutral, or if the clip gets lost, then chaotic neutral.

My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.

It’s asking god to bless the people (“us”) and the food (“these thy gifts”) that they’re about to receive from his bounty via jesus

At least that’s how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven’t thought about it in years haha

We should all use Einstein-Landauer units.

You should look for kitchen tested recipes.

Interesting, I learned it as “Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts”

A sqube

Wait, what’s their true purpose?

This is a recent problem. Do we think those purported fat genes just evolved in society over the past eightyish years, and spread so widely that, per the 2017-2018 NHANES data, 73% of American adults are overweight (30.7%) or obese (42.4%)? On a population level it’s clear this cannot be genetic. There’s been a cultural shift that has caused this problem, often thought to be related to processed food, less time to cook, and for some underserved communities, food deserts.

Look at how dramatically obesity has risen since the '80s:
