If that happens again, you can cube it, dry it out, and store it for use as croutons. When you want to use them, you just melt some butter/olive oil and saute the bread cubes until you are happy with it, and you can add salt and garlic.
Yeah, good to see kids are still kids, lol.
Cost on co2 tank is going to depend on where they get co2. Some places you just give a deposit, and they swap tanks instead of refilling the same one over and over again.
OP, kits to do this are available (e.g., https://www.kegconnection.com/fizz-kits-carbonating-kits.html). The kits seem to leave out a carbonation stone, which i think is a really useful thing to have. Just shoving a bunch of co2 into the headspace will eventually carbonate something, but not that quickly. A carbonation stone makes the co2 diffuse faster (similar to the way that soda stream sprays bubbles).
Honestly, it’s not that complicated, and if you go to a homebrew store, they’ll probably get you up and running for cheaper, and they’ll be happy to help. Regulators and other parts have really come down in price over the last 10-15 years.
You could go drink by drink or do a whole keg (they make really small ones now).
It’s not even science fiction, they actually tried that back in the day.

Moving walkways were initially conceived as a true form of public transit.
The US invented the internet (and the UK invented the world wide web), so English is the lingua franca of the internet for better or worse. Most people on the internet who speak English as a first language are from the US, and with the algorithmic nature of most of our online interactions being borderless, people in the US get fed non-US content all the time. If there’s not anything obvious signifying that they are seeing content from another country, confirmation bias will lead them to think it is US-relevant content.
I will say, on the money thing, there are a lot of countries that use USD from an official (or unofficial) capacity. The US is also pretty cashless at this point, so it’s possible that people have used their card overseas no problem, and not realized that their bank was doing an exchange in the background. Then they get to somewhere cash-only that doesnt also take USD, and suddenly experience their money is not good. Still stupid to be a dick about it when it’s your own fault, but idiots all around the world respond poorly when subject the the consequences of their own mistakes.
I’m going off of memory here, but what I heard was that passenger rail was never really as profitable as freight, so the government basically had to force all the rail companies to keep doing passenger trains. The massive subsidization of car transit made it hard for them to compete. Amtrak was basically created as a way to take the responsibility for doing passenger rail away from the rail companies, in exchange for guaranteed priority usage of the rails.
The priority of passenger trains is unenforced, so they have to wait for slow freight trains all the time. Additionally, the math on speed is different for freight vs passenger rail. A freight train getting somewhere an hour faster doesnt matter nearly as much as a passenger train getting somewhere an hour faster, so improvements to facilitate faster trains falls on amtrak.
Amtrak does own some rails, e.g., the northeast corridor, which is nice and profitable. It’s also worth noting that the “unprofitable” lines are still vastly vastly vastly more profitable than roads.
Basically, if a door/gate is sagging, it’s turning a rectangle into a parallelogram. If you draw a line from corner-corner of a rectangle, you will get the same measurement on both diagonals. In a parallelogram, you’ll get a long one and a short one.
The long one will go from the top hinge to the outside corner, the short one will go from the bottom hinge. If you put a support in the long diagonal, it will be in tension (good for cable), and if you put one in the short diagonal it will be in compression (good for wood).
If you are building a new one, you can just put a wood support where it will get compressed. If you already have a sagged one, you need to fix the sag first. Easiest way to do that is with a cable and turnbuckle. Just tighten the turnbuckle until you have a rectangle. Then you can either leave it, or stick a wooden support in where it will be under compression and remove the cable.
Edit: and for your case, you unfortunately probably need to take out the diagonal element first cause otherwise it will probably combat the tension from a cable.
Yeah, and the opposite is true if you ever need to combat sagging in a gate or something like that: put a cable going from top hinge to bottom corner, and tension it until things square up.
Absolutely crazy to me that the UK and EU were so behind on this compared to the US. I guess the US’s traditionally good (who knows what’s happening now) disability lobby was more powerful than its “screw anyone not in a car” lobby.
The law in the US was passed in 2010, though implementation of the rule took a few years. I think Tesla were the only ones who didn’t make any noise until they were absolutely required to, probably for obvious reasons.
Using the lees is interesting, and I’ve never thought about it. You ever keep your fermentation liquid to use as a condiment? Obviously, I use some to blend in with the peppers to make hot sauce, but usually I end up with extra, and there’s plenty of flavor in it.
It’s basically the same as Hawaiian chili pepper water or Puerto Rican pique.
Can’t recommend a specific brand, but I got my shaker from a restaurant supply store. It really shouldn’t need to cost much to work well.
I’m sick of journalists writing about a law without either citing the law, linking to it, or directly quoting it.
Had to find this myself:
The practice of a parent or guardian who chooses for his child treatment by prayer or spiritual means alone shall not for that reason alone be construed to have violated the duty of care to such child.
https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title18/t18ch15/sect18-1501/
Edit: thinking about this a bit, the text says “for that reason alone”. I would argue that these parents do not meet that bar because the children actually are harmed. In other words, arrest them and medicate the children not because they are attempting faith healing, but because they are attempting faith healing plus it isnt working. If the faith healing works, then the duty of care hasn’t been violated.
Those are all places that were relatively sparsely populated until the widespread use of air conditioning, which coincided with the takeover of city planning by auto company interests. Also things like the interstate highway system.
I dont like the way this article is titled. This matter is not settled yet, and repeating CBP’s claims that they are allowed to do this just strengthens their claims.

To be fair, they named it before he became a collaborator.
Apple just pulled the name off the map, Google still had the old name.
That really just depends on the convention of whatever the mapping software is. Openstreetmap has a “name=*” block for places, but it can also have “official_name=*”, in addition to many other language names. Generally, software to actually display the map isnt going to show all of the names cause that would be a mess, but it might show whatever is listed under “name=”. If you are in a foreign country, though, you might also want the “name:(en)=”.
Personally, my comaps is set to display “name:(en)=” and if that doesnt exist, fall back to whatever the local language is (what’s in “name=”). Honestly, I wish they could make it more configurable, so I could have it display both.
The convention in openstreetmaps is that “name=” is for what people who live there use/what’s on physical signage. Since everyone still calls it “lake ontario” that name sticks. In places with legitimately different names from the people who live there, like Switzerland, they just do / names for each language.
Apple maps probably just provides the “official” name for everything. There’s pros and cons to everything, and openstreetmap isnt exactly consistent with their stated methodology. Like openstreetmap uses the official name for “unnamed mountain” and not the nazi collaborator name that people actually use (not that I’m complaining), which they should technically be using according to their methodology.
Using bethel as an example for an article is a bit disingenuous. It’s not a place that people should really be living any way other than off the land. It’s like saying the groceries on the space station or at everest base camp are expensive.
It’s like 500 km from any roads and thousands from anywhere capable of agriculture as the rest of the world knows it.
It’s also mainly Yupik, and politically, idk how they vote, but they aren’t exactly politically relevant compared to the basically 3 cities with more than 10,000 people in Alaska.
If I’m being really charitable, relying off the full quote “performance and safety”, you could make an argument that if hydration is too inconvenient, people seeking high performance will skip water stops, therefore being at risk of dehydration.
In reality, though, dehydration isnt really as much of a problem as people like to pretend it is since it’s self-limiting (you’ll slow down and stop before doing any damage, and as long as water is available, you can bounce back). Overhydration, specifically leading to hyponatremia, is more of an issue, since that’s more of a “feel mostly fine until your heart stops working right”-situation.
I guess the other “if I’m being charitable” argument could be about making sure you aren’t getting people colliding at water stations, but that’s more about layout than how the water is actually delivered.
My opinion is just, tough shit, it’s all part of the race. The fact that I can’t use shoes with a 10 cm stack or a bicycle during a marathon hurts my performance but everyone is subject to the same rules.
Yeah, in a similar vein, it could also potentially be due to differing standards for how causes of death are assigned.
Someone could have congestive heart failure leading to pneumonia that actually kills them, and one country might consider that cardiovascular while another does not.
There’s about a million diseases that dont actually kill you, they just lead to something else killing you. AIDS, for example.
I’ve cooked with cast iron for many years, and a few years back, I got a carbon steel pan. Depending on what you buy, they come coated in beeswax that you need to melt off before you season it.
My thought was to handle it the same way I do cast iron (tiniest whisp of oil + hot oven through a few repetitions). I decided to follow the instructions that came with the pan, though, instead, which were horrible. They said to put like a cm thick layer of oil in the pan and bake it smoking hot for a little while. I ended up with the patchiest season ever, and I keep hoping it will work itself out, but honestly, I should have just stripped it back to bare metal right away and done it properly.
