Seattleite, mentally ill, just wanting to make the world a little better.
I mean at least the Commerce Department only oversees the economy, where transparent prices might be essential but can only ruin the American family's budget. It's not like he runs anything scientific that could also destroy entire regions through a natural disaster like a hurricane. That'd be wild.

But also. Ice cream. Vanilla, sure, or a fruit flavor.

Claire Saffitz' (Meyer) lemon tart uses lemon curd. Basically mix it with some Greek yogurt after prepping a tart crust with a small layer of jam (I like Bonne Maman raspberry best). You're like 75% of the way to one already.

The middle. Which just feels weird. And like a bad place for the shoe to put pressure.

It feels like it hits at the knuckle. I'm partially willing to chalk this up to bad German or Portland design.

Like a centimeter for my big toe, but more for the rest.

They exist. There are multiple of them.

No, but the failure of organizations to say that has been a substantial push factor in anti-nationalists encountering and then identifying with anti-ethno-religious materials. There is growing antisemitism, in part due to the fact that the opposite gets said so commonly.

This is an undercount of the data they present. Nearly 40% of likely GOP voters surveyed by the Manhattan Institute indicated an agreement with some level of Shoah denial. 12% openly identified as antisemites. Self-ID should be less important than Holocaust denial in the final numbers.

Having lived in Texas I know that putting diacritics on is not always right by personal choice, but once this keyboard decides on it, it has also decided against bilingualism.

I swapped to e-biking primarily because I live in a hilly city where pedal assist helps deal with the fact that there is a multiple hundred feet elevation difference between my office and home over a mile.

They are essential to expanding cycling in our city.

I ride in lower gears when I'm in a cycle path. But the fact is that when you bike in a city, you are switching between mixed traffic and cycle paths.
I have an acoustic bike. I'm aware that getting passed can be annoying. But "oh no, not bikes that are safer to ride in mixed traffic" is a bad take.
