You can make a single serving for a hot breakfast on a cold day!!!
Here's a little secret: Making Rice Krispy Treats is an art, not a science. There is no one recipe. You can make a personal-sized treat in a little bowl or a bento box. Just melt a pat of butter with a cup of marshmallows and stir in any cereal you like. Add cereal until the goop is dispersed. BOOM.

In 2008, my biggest concern was that I'd like, slip getting out of the shower and it would take days before someone found my dead body, so...there is a market
In China, the names of things are often either ornately poetic or stunningly direct. A new, wildly popular app among young Chinese people, called simply, "Are You Dead?", is definitively the latter.
Aimed at the growing number of young Chinese who live alone, a new app asks: ‘Are you dead?'

Remember that elections are held at the state/county level. The county clerk (an elected position) oversees and transmits the tallies. Voter suppression's true levers are things like removing access and intimidation. You can fight back by volunteering as poll workers, supporting voter rights orgs

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

Do you know what happens if you steal a car and there's a kid inside? Kidnapping charges. Even if the intent wasn't to kidnap, it still happened, and they should be charged accordingly

And then they cover the qr code with one that will take you to a website where they can install a Trojan horse on your phone and get all your data or something.
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.
