    @jon-nyc said in Tonight's dinner - Lasagna: I agree it’s labor intensive. But for 5% more effort you can make two or even three at once and freeze the others. I'm sure that's the case. But for just the two of us, I'm not going to invest the 5%. I got four meals out of this. I'm good until at least June, LOL.

    @Aqua-Letifer That is not dissimilar than to the role of PMC (president of the mess committee) a position the C.O. voluntells by order upon the most junior officer in the regiment at an Officer’s Mess Dinner. Been there done it, is all I can say.

    Rosemont, with such proximity to O'Hare, has a very good reason to try to avoid becoming shelters.

    The original song's so weird that this isn't even weirder—it's just weird-comparable. Did a good job, though.

    @Axtremus said in iOS 17.0: iOS 17 broke text box copy-and-paste in a spectacularly stupid way: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255154126 I upgraded to iOS 17 last night and now I cannot cleanly copy text from a browser’s text box; I get “%20” escape sequence in place of every blank space character. Why Apple breaks something so fundamental, so obvious, yet unable or unwilling to fix it in 17.1.1, we will probably never know. Sounds like user error. I suggest reading the manual.

    Jolly if you were an independent you wouldn’t have swallowed that list so uncritically.

    I was called white once at work by a progressive white female. The one who indoctrinated her 9 year old son to the extent that the kid cried at the results of the 2016 election. A story she would then relay to others as proof of how bad Trump was. We were sort of friends and close coworkers at the time, and I think she thought she was educating me rather than scolding me. I don't quite remember the context of the conversation, only what felt like an accusation. It wasn't a term of endearment, that is for sure. That same progressive white woman could often be seen 'working with' one of the few black scientists, a younger female, in the office. They would prominently sit hunched over a laptop in the break room. I always had the sense that the interaction was necessarily a patronizing one, and one in which the white woman felt she was being charitable and fighting the good fight. Gross.
