I mean, that’s kinda what they said about Lost, but then they had to fill 3 seasons because the network wasn’t ready to end it, and by the time they got to the end, everyone had guessed the twist and it went out with a whimper.
Of course we’ve had other terrible endings to massive shows since then, so
Ask yourself a question, have you ever heard of a toddler accidentally shooting someone with a bow? Firing a gun is so easy that you have to keep them away from babies or the babies are likely to kill themselves.
I enjoy an over hard egg sometimes. I don’t like gooey eggs, especially when the whites are still raw.
But a liquid yolk doesn’t necessarily mean raw. Cooked yolk should be thicker and has a great egg flavor. Hard yolks begin to taste bitter from the sulfur dissolving out. I recently learned I had been sleeping on soft boiled eggs.
The key is that yolks and whites cook at different temperatures. That’s why if you want perfect hard boiled eggs, you need to put them into boiling water (or sous vide if you’re bougie, which if you’re able to afford eggs…) for 8-10 minutes. That’s all it should take. Drop them into an ice bath and then enjoy.
That’s how I always made them, but I don’t know that my recipe is any sort of authentic.
Almost everyone overcooks eggs. The whites should be silky, and the yellows creamy. If the white is rubbery or the yellow chalky, then it’s like an overcooked steak. Like yeah, technically you can eat it, but it’s not the best form it can take.
Wow, I stand corrected. TIL thanks.
EDIT today I learned that the reports of witnesses and their inaction was grossly exaggerated by an unscrupulous journalist. So the following statement is almost entirely fabricated. My apologies. Comment left intact for transparency.
38 people in her neighborhood admitted to hearing her and choosing not to intervene. They all gave different reasons for not helping.
There was the horrifying story of Kitty Genovese in New York in 1968. Edit 1964
“Deserved” is a bit loaded. Americans are exceptionally stupid and ill-informed, but that applies to our elected leaders, as well.
Does someone who is easily manipulated deserve to be manipulated? If so, isn’t that precisely the form of myopic conservativism that has overrun the right wing? Government for the people, by the people, is intended to protect all the people and enshrine our rights. Protecting victims from predators ought to be a primary function of law, and if you don’t believe that, then yeah you deserve the leadership we got.
My physics professor bore witness to the prophecy, but I never believed I would live to see it.
Just to glom onto this correct answer, the system OP describes is the ideal for prosecutors. It’s not supposed to be adversarial. The prosecutors are supposed to exercise their judgement and seek justice, not victory. Unfortunately, prosecutors are evaluated on conviction rates.
Banned from Fortnite for sharing accounts to qualify for the tournament…
“I won’t ever cheat in Fortnite again.”
Seems like he didn’t get the message.
Musk massively overpayed for Twitter. They wouldn’t have sold the company, but Musk made a ridiculous offer and they accepted. Then he tried to back out of it, and the court forced him to follow through. But he didn’t have enough money to match his offer, so he had to find some investors willing to bail him out because they wanted him to kill the platform for them.
When you ask them out, they say no.
They’re both built on the reputation of their leaders. Good coaches recruit good players, making them look like better coaches. Good preachers gather more followers which makes their bullshit more believable.
The great irony is that in both environments, the ego of the leader is almost certainly over-inflated, and the institution would be just hunky dory without them. Penn State found a new coaching staff. The Catholic Church will elect a new Pope.
The people doing the cover-up will justify the lies by telling themselves they are doing it for the greater good, but really they just want to protect themselves.
Don’t waste mental energy looking for reason or competence. They did it because nobody can stop them, and they think they can gain money or power by doing it. That’s always the motivation, and it doesn’t make a difference to the response. We simply need to stop them.
I was on Facebook where I saw a short video with a text to voice narrator describing a story from a news article that was written about a Reddit AITA post. The audio played over a video of several clips of different ragebait 5 minute craft videos.
I had to light a candle.
I recently had some pez for the first time in like 20 years. The candy was better when I was a kid. I can still remember the grape and strawberry flavors, and the modern ones are shit.
Lead pipes have been illegal for in-house water plumbing for a very long time. Even older houses that were built before regulations have been replaced in almost every home in the USA.
It’s the buried infrastructure that has not been fully replaced, in part because cold, treated water does not leech lead into the supply very quickly. Part of the reason Flint became a disaster is that the city decided to switch from Lake Huron, which was treated and protected, to the Flint River, where the water needed to be treated at the Flint water treatment facility.
Unfortunately, the Flint water treatment facility was outdated and insufficient, and the Flint River was far more polluted and corrosive. The lower pH and contaminants dissolved lead from the pipes that were previously stable, and there were also dangerous levels of bacteria causing infections.
If the city had remained on the treated Lake Huron water supply, it probably would not have been noticed and the lead pipes would still be in use today (as they are in an alarming number of places today).
Just don’t try to tell me it’s fucking “uncured.”
