I think you are quickly elevating your position to one of baking worship.😊Those look tasty. The danger of bite size things is that it just feels you can eat many more of them in a sitting 🤩 Oddly enough this comic showed up in my feed today. Seems appropriate.

Google can find anything, this is what it looked like, with the red lid and the enameled hopper with a floral decoration on it, from the 40's.

It was like this, but I seem to remember it had a white enamel finish on the square hopper part.

JFC, you have some weirdly toxic people around you.🤨 I'm so sorry that you are continually confronted with this 💩. Here's a meme I happened to see today, for no particular reason. 😏😷🥊🥴 Hang in there, there are people out beyond your immediate circle that are more rational and support your choices.

Where I live bear encounters are very common, I'd rather deal with a bear than a bunch of teens any day.

Maybe even more relevant and unexpected that illnesses in secondary school students due to "avoiding bullying" had almost identical patterns to elementary school students, which seems highly unlikely since those different age groups would have different peer conditions.

While correlation does not equal causation, it is hard to imagine that bullying was so infectious that it spread across the entire country starting in 2020/21. 🙄For people that have never had a chronic illness, the idea that students might feel sick on an ongoing basis is unfathomable 🤢😒.

YouTube happened to offer up a compilation of Japanese commercials, and those are usually fun to watch, but surprisingly, it looks like one was shot in the same location.

There was a photo posted of Hugh Jackman arriving in LAX wearing a mask, taken on Nov 5. So people who think seriously about their health are taking measures to protect it.

Just imagine how many crypto bros are whispering in his ear. In 2018 I was sitting at a coffee shop in between meetings and I had this view, while I was there a guy came in and wheeled this Bitcoin ATM machine out because it had already risen in value to be impractical as regular currency.

It isn't widely publicized, but all the behind the scenes of current movie and TV production has the crew masked, as they can't afford to risk having the star talent get sick at the cost of production delay, and the well paid production staff don't want to get sidelined with illness either.

I see that they brought that imagery forward from the movie for the DVD release. It was more subtle in the original poster. 😬

At least it's not an EV 664. 😏That would be quaint, but could also be considered carrying a weapon.
