My personal definition, based on what I’ve seen at many restaurants, is that a wrap is something that could have been a sandwich, and a burrito is something that has to be in a tortilla. Mainly so dessert burritos don’t become wraps.

It takes a lot of “Turnoff these updates in notifications” to make LinkedIn bearable. I’m not sure I’d go through all that again if I had to start now.

Kanopy is the closest I’ve seen. It’s a free service from my library. Yours might have it, too. It goes a little way into the 2000’s, but doesn’t have anything very recent as far a I can see.

I only buy them for a pot luck when there’s kids involved. Otherwise, I get sick eating the whole thing in one sitting.

My local library includes access to Kanopy, which has a great selection of older movies. It’s a nice free bonus. Many libraries have similar digital services.

Your supposed to angrily rip them by hand to vent your frustration at the world. Cutting them does not cut it.

It’s an attempt to talk people into not voting, as it says in the title. There’s good reason to believe based on where it was published that it’s targeting a certain demographic. If the facts in the article were true, I would agree it was protected. But the fact is the author explicitly lied.

But we’re not talking about libel here. This is voter suppression, which is very different. He’s definitely covered why Jacob Wohl’s speech was illegal, but it’s not clear to me why that doesn’t apply here.

I don’t think it’s that cut and dry. Lying over the phone about voting has definitely been prosecuted: www.nytimes.com/2022/12/01/u...

I know it will never happen, it shouldn’t a fraudulent publication to affect voting be voter fraud?

The only reason I worry about a block from an account like yours is because you also make announcements about new books or events. I’d hate to miss a chance to buy a signed copy of your next book over a misunderstanding.

The way you say that makes me wonder if this is all a backlash against how many refugees there are out there. Is it really an unusual number? Or just a perception?

I’m hoping this turns out like the Chuck and Larry movie, where the satire turned into the reality.

My 15 year old daughter got very emotional over Godzilla Minus One, so I enjoyed watching it with her. Not sure what that means for your enjoyment of it.

We were the slacker gen because many of us graduated into a recession. I still remember how we suddenly turned into an overworked generation leading up to the dot com days.

I want to object and say that the whole cereal with no added sugar is a good source of fiber. Then I realize that this is 2 boxes out of the whole cereal aisle.

You are so wrong. I can even see here in Bluesky that people are responding in way that will be helpful in the long run. The kind of person who would double down against fixing climate change is not the kind of person I would ever care about.

Success is if it gets people talking more about the problem. No matter what they do, there will always be people mad at protesters.

The fact that this protest caused you to respond this way, kinda makes it a small success in my book.

When I was a kid, my parents were part of a mail order service called “Cheese Lovers”. When they sent a block of Havarti, I would buy a loaf of bread and make the best grilled cheese. I’m still trying to find a Havarti that good again.

The problem is it’s very context specific. Say the sentence: “I dropped that A hole like a hot potato”, and both the T and the P must be emphasized to get the correct effect.

Actually, this is true of the flu as well. It’s just that ME/CFS is one of the most neglected medical conditions. But there’s lots of evidence that it can be “long flu”. Here’s an example: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles....

I hate hearing that. I was told to include a picture of my family because the seller wanted to sell to a family, and not an investor. Now I’m suspicious of that, too.

On the one hand, I’m jealous didn’t get this treatment. On the other hand, if my wife put this much junk food in front of me while I was recovering, I would have eaten it all and regretted it.

I also think more blame should be placed on the peers who bully the victims of the sextortion. It’s been a big factor in all the stories I’ve seen.

My favorite Oakland A memory was taking the BART from Fremont to the stadium. People were passing paper bags through the fence. Seemed so weird to me at the time. I’m assuming one bad was money, the other was drugs.

My vasectomy was far from painless during the procedure itself. But it is true that the after care is minimal. But I don’t think lying about the fact that the surgery feels like you get kicked in the balls twice is helpful in the long run.

This context makes it feel like a sexist question. There are better ways to ask if it’s a real product or not.
