refined, bleached flour is linked to heart disease

This is what is leading me to find healthier options. Lower salt, too!

I agree, maybe I should do a follow up post! I live in the US so the four or so options I ended up saving may be less than cost effective elsewhere. I even found purple noodles made with buckwheat and sweet potatoes 💜

Wow! Detective @[email protected] exposed more than I ever would 🙂️ The fact that these use to be legitimate sites is pretty sad. It opens up an entire series of things to think about…

Thanks for all of that info!

Unfortunately for Floridians there are definitely open pit mines in Fla.

This would have been an interesting addition to Get Shorty.

There used to be something called Conversation Exchange that was useful for for supplementation, but it was a pretty big jump from what I would get from Duolingo to speaking with someone there.

What alternatives are there to Duolingo?

Is it realistic, or practical, for Wikipedia to register in a similar manner in another country?

I agree with this. I’m not sure it is fair to compare Craigslist to social media, even tho it did have a social section. That section was closer to Usenet in my opinion. I wish Craigslist and/or the local classifieds were used more where I live.

The MSPB dismissals got me since the MAGA folks seem so obsessed with anything that they deem to be not based on merit. Obviously they lie, and this is great evidence of that.

I don’t remember having an issue with this when I pushed carts, but it was a long time ago and I suspect if I saw someone do this I would have pouted about it.

Totally misunderstood the headline until I read the article. I work for the federal government, and most folks in my small town have the attitude that “they aren’t coming after jobs here, just people in DC or higher levels.” It is incredibly hard to change these perceptions, even when things DO affect folks at the local level. People can make excuses for almost anything 😑

In theory it could reduce the budget

It really is a dog and pony show. It looks good to certain people, but it doesn’t pencil out, especially long term as you mention.

Are there alternatives to Nine? I’ve used that for several years for my personal email because of exchange, but it has had issues the last couple of years. Not open source as far as I know.

The last few paragraphs describe exactly why the Democratic party is in shambles. Essentially, they just expect people to keep coming back. Kamala Harris had that saying she said about we’re not going back, and the Democratic party shouldn’t. Not that she is with the future, tho. Move ON! Get with the program.

I am in no position to say what Merz will be for Germany, but talk of teamwork amongst Europe is good.

I really appreciate your and @[email protected] replies. I live in an area where multiple time zones are part of life, but didn’t see how this could actually be beneficial. I’ve had to do some funky stuff to know what time it is, but like you say, I wouldn’t need to do that with this. Thanks for helping me see the importance of this!

I struggle to see a reason for this, even with the example provided in the article. I think it would be annoying for folks who live at the edge of two zones, but I also think it will continue to be a setting that could be cycled.

Maple syrup is a highly processed thing

No, it’s not. It isn’t any more processed than bread. Maybe some maple syrup is highly processed, just like some bread is, but it isn’t categorically so.

This is the same person who, under questioning, said the needed to study the 14th amendment. They’re a lawyer 😐
