The lead time for transformers is what is holding things back more so than the supply of electrical steel.

Not exactly. Building transformers is the bigger bottleneck.

You only mix up concoctions for nefarious purposes. There are no innocent concoctions!

Is the top meant to be mashed potato joy division? Or was that just a happy accident?

no, I don't think this random anthro grad student is going to impose some kind of pol pot back to land regime at gunpoint. but that's kind of my point, "oh it's harmless" for a couple decades and then whoops, millions believe it and an essential oils guy is shitcanning biomedical research

I’m not sure if you are in the minority. I bet most people are room temperature on this. I typically don’t initiate conversation on planes but I don’t mind and often enjoy it when it happens. I’m also fine with saying I’m going to read my book now.

Agree. His trip was framed as tourism. The women’s trip was framed as important and empowering. That framing is not necessarily the women’s fault, but it felt insensitive at this particular moment.

So good, so infuriating, like it was made just for me.

My aunt had the potent combo of guard geese + Bassett hounds at her ranch. I can still hear the honking and howling as soon as a car turned down the lane to the house.

Ugh. Similar position here, bigger tax bill than recent years.(cutting older teens out of the kid tax break is bogus). I usually feel good about taxes, really, I think about all the programs that I’m a tiny part of, and that makes up for the crap I wish I wasn’t paying for. This year? Just barf.

Americans absolutely say sack lunch, that’s what I grew up saying. I live in a different region now and packed lunch is more common. I don’t ever hear “brown bag lunch” in the wild.

When I was a kid there was a steak house in my hometown that had the option of American fries or “English chips.” The chips were steak fry shaped, crispy all over and pillowy soft in the center. I dream of them often.

On the one hand, he's been at it for a long time, but on the other I think we all should take a 25 hour period to shout uninterrupted about how horrible this administration is.

So many! “have I told you how much I loved the hooded ravens?”

I love your TenMinMerlins, and share them with my bird-fancier teen. Teen, when traveling to Europe last week: “first thing I did when we landed in Rome was download the Europe birdpack on Merlin” hahaha

It’s awful. His jolly grampa warcrime act is gross.

I just saw a segment on CBS where Gen. McMaster said the signal group text was a woopsies and they (and we) should put it in the rearview mirror as a rookie mistake of a new administration. WAT??

An article I read said she (the one who stood up to him) is the coach’s niece!
