That's been obvious since the beginning.

They're actually assessing how much of an outcry there'll be, so they know how sharp the inevitable slap on the wrist should look.

Were you doing this from the same IP address? Cause some places check for that kind of thing.

The New York Times did an article on it last fall. Here's a non-paywalled copy of the article or, if you prefer audio, here's the episode of The Daily where they discuss it.

I still mask up when I go into stores or offices or whatever. Got all my boosters, too.

I can see where that's gonna be hard. You might try local harvest.org , though that's less helpful than it used to be - I think something happened during the pandemic and they stopped double-checking the listings were still good each year, but it's the last site I had for finding good CSAs.

It's possible Trump will win again. And even if he doesn't, he's not the only threat. There's so the emboldened MAGAts, a resurgent white nationalist / neo-Nazi / christofascist movement being weaponized, an unapologetically corrupt Supreme Court, a Republican party that's too scared of their own voters to do their job, a heavily militarized and intolerant police force, and plans to forcibly re-make the country with the next Republican president.

Sadly, no:

Bakers, bakeries and bakers shops were required by law only to sell their 'national loaves' when they were a day old because stale bread did not cut to waste like fresh bread. Source

[If you can find it, the BBC Timeshift episode 'Bread: A Loaf Affair' mentions this along with a surprisingly interesting modern-ish history of bread in the UK. It's narrated by Tom Baker.]

 

25 baskets, to be precise, but I used the original caption.

 

"We invite unions around the country to align your contract expirations with our own, so that together we can begin to flex our collective muscle [...]. It's important not only that we strike, but that we strike together."

 

Volunteers in Philadelphia’s Kensington say YouTubers and TikTokers are increasingly exploiting drug users as “trauma porn stars.”

 

The dining scene here is having a moment, whether it’s outstanding pizza, fiery Ethiopian fried chicken or French inflected cuisine that feels like a cozy dinner party.

 

Bill denial for the prescription drug price cap called ‘a major setback’ for diabetics in the state

 

Today, the National Institutes of Health launched and is opening enrollment for phase 2 clinical trials that will evaluate at least four potential treatments for long COVID, with additional clinical trials to test at least seven more treatments expected in the coming months. Treatments will include drugs, biologics, medical devices and other therapies. The trials are designed to evaluate multiple treatments simultaneously to identify more swiftly those that are effective.

 

Ex-redditor here, still adjusting to kbin, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

Sometimes I run across a post that I just don't want to see again. It's not offensive or inappropriate stuff, so I don't want to block the user or the magazine. It's just sporadic content that makes me angry or depressed and I'd rather not see in my feed when I pop back in a few hours later.

Is there a way in either vanilla kbin or in KDE, to block a post from my feed? Like today, I've popped in maybe four times today, and each time there's some article with a large outraged screaming Trump picture on it and I just don't want to see it. I want a quiet weekend where I can occasionally check in on the news without raising my anger and blood pressure every time I accidentally run across that particular article again.

Edit: just wanted to thank you all for the help - I appreciate it!

 

I have a cabinet of like 40 different teas to choose from, so I can go in many different directions. That said, my current favorite teas are jasmine pearl and this lovely emerald sun that I was gifted. I can really feasibly bring only one container with me, so I need to choose. Would your preference be jasmine, emerald sun, or something else entirely?

Also, if I go with either jasmine or emerald sun: both are light sweet teas, with the emerald sun having more complex flavors due to the citrus and almonds. I'm not sure whether a cold brew or a hot brew would be better.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated - thank you!
