These two popped up in my brain right away.

Space rocks are the real danger. They pop into existence and really shake things up.

Hah, can confirm that they aren’t amazing. Or at least mine isn’t. Let’s just say I sent video of one cousin at the capitol on Jan 6 to the FBI.

Well, each of my parents has 5 siblings who all had kids, so I have 2 siblings who have significant others and 2 kids each, and 17 1st cousins on my mom’s side and 14 on my dad’s side, many of whom now have their own children (I think we’re at 18 or 19 now, but I don’t facebook, so it could be over 20), plus the 12 uncles and aunts, and then there are the in-laws who have a less tidy structure, with 4 parents, 1 full sibling with 4 kids and 2 step-kids and 3 grand kids, 2 half siblings with 2 kids and a step kid, and 2 step siblings with 3 kids. And her mom had 4 siblings…

The big reunions I remember as a kid (for my great grandparent’s families) were well over 100 people. Because they all had 4-6 kids because that’s how you ran a family farm.

That the left lane is the fast lane in traffic. Nope. It’s for the people who want to go fast, but are nuts to butts in the mountain curves, so it ends up as a constant stop and go wave. I’ll chug along in the 80% less busy right lane and sneak in when the “fast” drivers hit the brakes in the next curve so I can pass the actual slow cars.

I think there’s an even simpler explanation: political debt to Jeff Yass (15% tiktok owner) and his cash for the 2024 campaign.

I’d like to suggest that you take a different approach, though it looks like there is a workable suggestion already.

Consider using apt_preferences to pin your versions instead of scripting.

Here’s a clip from one of my distrobox builds:

Package: python3.10
Pin: version 3.10.*
Pin-Priority: 999

That’s too bad. Might make for a decent Saturday morning project to take it apart and see if you can figure out how to get it to work.

Single-sided toasting.

The elements are only run on one side. Typically the inside on an upright toaster or the top on a toaster oven.

We pre-slice and freeze bagels. At least it gives us a reason to use the bagel setting on the toaster.

Interesting. I’m on version 1.1.2 from F-droid, last updated 10 months ago.

Hah, you made me think of manicotti, which I loved as a kid (cheese tubes!) but can’t even stomach the idea of now.

Also had a homemade pizza tonight. My wife does a magical sourdough crust and we had one that sat in the fridge extra long. We were just cleaning out the fridge with the toppings tonight, so some Italian sausage, onions, and kalamata olives, and the end of some romano and Parmesan with the last of the puttanesca sauce.

Definitely recommending your toppings combo for the next round! Did you drizzle the honey before or after the oven?

But they’ll call it freedom of speech. Speech someone/corp paid for of course, but Citizens United…

The recipe I grew up with was effectively baked kraft mac’n cheese with cream of mushroom/celery soup and tuna.

Bonus points for some crushed potato chips on top.

I learned it as the “musical” fruit
