Weight is my go to for any measurement I want to be reasonably precise, solids or liquids. my kitchen scale gets a lot of use.

that said, if this is a baked good like a cookie or brownie where you enjoy biting into the existing texture, I'd probably go with less precise and just cutting it by eye in whatever way seems less destructive. 1/5ths is a little tough though. I'd tend to go for 1/4 or 1/6 and feel better about the precision to cut something in half and then half again or in thirds and then half again.

Exactly what I was thinking, I'm not sure of any example coming before the original Charlton Heston version.

Don't have a name for the trope tho

For the good of the republic and to demonstrate new leadership before the election

To be fair, it could have fully driven itself into the train: "fully self driving" <> "fully safe driving" /s

Yeah, you don't want toddlers learning gun safety the hard way

For sure! My community is served by a volunteer department and I joined a couple years ago, definitely a rewarding experience. Now not only have I gotten to sit in a truck, but I drive them, have learned all sorts of cool tools like the jaws of life and get to work with a great group of people serving our community.

You don't need to be young and fit either (I'm not!), there's a job for everyone. Anyone who's interested should definitely check out their local department. Most have active Facebook pages sharing updates and their website should have info on how to learn more about joining.

It's the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience

I wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?

I wouldn't date any of those boring women

If a good looking guy comes along and he listens to Rogan, she won't care at all.

If you think that, I get the feeling if a good looking woman came along you wouldn't care at all if she was "boring". But go ahead and keep virtue signaling on how picky you are while also assuming women aren't.

Definitely good points made here and I agree, as much as this is a lamf moment, it is right on so many levels to advocate for her humane treatment.

This is fantastic, while having them obviously in drag is delicious, it would be even more stark if some of them present as traditional male too and really bring the point home.

While I'm definitely one to get mildly irritated at the phrasing (and am even more irritated by "fur babies" lol), I'm really bothered by people excusing their own rudeness - right up there with saying "no offense" right before being deliberately offensive. Like if you don't want to yuck my yum or cause offense then why are you about to do it anyway?

Well, that is the point of malicious compliance isn't it? So long as op's giving them what they asked for, right?
