tumeric

*Turmeric. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen someone forget the first R I'd have like three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but still kinda interesting.

If you want to try your hand at sourdough pancakes, they're super simple (and vegan, if you care)


though you need to have an active starter.

Little water, salt, sugar (or banana), neutral oil, starter, baking soda. Add spices (cinnamon , nutmeg, vanilla) if you like. No need to measure anything out, just use your judgement.

Fast, easy, and pretty tasty!

Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b

It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement


supposed to be credible


is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.

Good on CO. I'm in California and not eligible


I hope we do the same and/or the WA-OR-CA vaccine pact that's been mentioned elsewhere comes to the rescue.

I've honestly never understood people who feel the need to "replace" Spotify. ... Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.

I don't know how to say this, but...you have extremely uncommon use-cases:

...during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I'll use an MP3 player), or it's in Airplane Mode.

Many people listen to music on stereos and don't necessarily want a device plugged in, so

I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC.

either doesn't work or is substantially less convenient than e.g. casting from a phone.

Not hating on your setup at all, but it's very niche, in my experience.

The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it's something that someone might be self conscious about.

"Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man" would be also be offensive IMHO, because it's singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don't want to be singled out.

Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state


if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don't step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there's a power failure).

Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.

I once took a Lyft and the push alert was, "Look for Jesus in a white Toyota Camry."

Some would call the former command cat abuse.

In short, unless you want the contents of a file printed to stdout (or multiple files concatenated), the command can probably be written without cat, instead using the filename as an argument (grep pattern file) or IO redirection (cmd < file).

Stylistics and readability are another thing though.
