Even their slogan has been thoroughly enshittified.

Yeah, it’s not as important as professionals make it out to be. Like, if you under-salt a dish, people will notice that the meal doesn’t taste as good as the last time you made it, even if they can’t identify why. But the “depth” that bay leaves are supposed to add to a dish, probably won’t even register for most people. I don’t think bay leaves are entirely useless, but I do think it’s safe for home cooks to consider it an optional ingredient. If you have them, use them. If you don’t this time? Don’t worry about it.

That sounds like something I gotta try. Would you mind sharing the recipe?

I guess this hot take depends on the audience… But if you don’t have bay leaves on hand for a recipe, your family and friends aren’t going to notice the difference. When push comes to shove, it’s probably the least important part of any recipe. If you’re making soup or a stock, it’s gonna be fine without it.

Yep, the fact that immigrants commit less crime than native-born citizens has been known since Herbert Hoover established the Wickersham Commission in 1929. What makes this study uniquely important is its methodology.

To estimate the undocumented population at the neighborhood level, the research team accessed restricted individual-level Census data through a federal Research Data Center (RDC) and then applied an imputation method similar to those used by the Department of Homeland Security.

This is where they relied on the expertise of Christopher, who received his training at UC Irvine, earning an economics Ph.D. in 2022 before joining Stanford.

Christopher is one of the few academic researchers to have published work leveraging such a method.

Good find! That makes sense, it looked too well made to be a commercial novelty christmas decoration. The sculpture section of that site has a ton of other tree toppers too. This is probably the coolest personal website I’ve seen in ages.

You’re right, we should stop conducting scientific research because some morons might not believe the findings.

Here’s a different study (about Medicare for all) that just so happened to be posted at the same time I posted this article. I notice you haven’t spread your cynical anti-science nonsense in that thread yet, so have at it.

Yes, but billionaires need superyachts and rocket ships. Won’t someone please think of the billionaires?!

I hate how much I want to buy that tree topper.

A 51’ coffin, obviously.

This is empty twitter posturing. Florida’s AG has no jurisdiction.

1. The foul occurred at the United Center in Chicago.
2. The teams were based out of Indiana and Illinois.
3. The WNBA is headquartered in NYC.
4. The WNBA does not have any teams in Florida.

He’s just trying to sound tough by dreaming up a hypothetical scenario where he gets to intervene. But the conditions do not currently exist for this power fantasy of his to actually take place.

Circle K orders custom cans for all Arizona Iced Tea varieties, not just their exclusive flavors. Retailers have no legal obligation to obey the MSRP on the can, and many do ignore it shamelessly. You only need custom cans if you don’t want your customers to know just how much they’re being overcharged, which is why Circle K does it.

Here’s a photo from 2022:

I guess “YouTuber uploads new video” isn’t as attention grabbing but it feels more accurate. The guy’s got a channel where he speculates on current events in politics and noteworthy criminal cases. He’ll release another video about the signs of Trump’s mental decline next week too, because he does one every week.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

The unfortunate truth is the MSRP on the can is just that, a suggested retail price. Circle K can rip off their customers all they like because this is America, and there’s apparently nothing more sacred than corporate profits.

I’m not the person you asked, but I do know that Voyager supports user tagging.

So others don’t have to search for the missing context like I did: https://piefed.ca/post/887087#comment_5810045

It means that person had previously tagged you for being a suspected troll before deciding to block you entirely.

Peak capitalism: pay just to see an ad.

So yes, we are in fact talking about paying for access to an ad.
