This is essentially how I got my wife's engagement ring.
We knew a guy in the Diamond District (NYC), and he knew a bunch of other guys.
All I needed was my guy's business card with his signature on the back and suddenly I was getting wholesale pricing for everything and being treated like family.

If we want a future of electrified housing without gas then those who want it need to be out in communities demonstrating how awesome induction cooktops are.
Remember that when most people think "electric stove" what comes to mind are the coils which are way inferior to gas.

Or just, y'know, go to Seven 11 (or even better a diner if you aren't rushing) for coffee that doesn't taste burnt.
A moka pot is $15. Get fine ground coffee, gently pack the grounds into the filter, fill the bottom with water, screw on tight, and put on the stove.
While that's going, heat milk in the microwave then use a $10 frother on it.
Syrups are $5 for a giant bottle.
DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE.

Over the years my wife and I have become very good at honestly telling the other when each of us has begun to check out of a conversation.
The person talking can then indicate whether it's important to have the other's focus at that moment or whether they are mostly processing something out loud.

You guys ever get sad mid conversation when you realize the person isn't actually listening to what you're saying?

I have friends who “dated” adult men when they were teenagers and that is one of the big reasons why I am dismayed by the refusal to admit that a teenager’s experience of being manipulated by an adult they *think* they are in a fully consensual romantic, even sexual, relationship with isn’t the…

My son flew from Israel to the US through Heathrow by himself not long after his 18th birthday after attending a family wedding.
My father, who had done this transfer in the past, warned him that it could be a bit tricky.
My son had no problem thanks to BIG EFFING SIGNS in the terminal.

I’m sorry but this whole Noah Smith Heathrow situation is so fucking funny. Centrist thought leader with PhD from University of Michigan struggles to navigate basic airport transfer, blames it on the relative economic decline of Western Europe

It's Bond.
Absolutely no one cares about continuity between actors playing the role.
We barely care about continuity when it's another movie with the same actor.
Dench playing M for Craig was cool, but no one thought that it was the same timeline as Brosnan.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

My major autistic meltdowns are the only time I cry from stress and negative feelings. This only happens 1-2x a year.
I ugly cry like you would not believe, with tears and snot just streaming down my face.

Grief eventually leads to joy, which you'll know when you've cried so hard your nose makes a noise just like a clown's nose being honked

Is the political and moral crisis in Israel the result of Benjamin Netanyahu's choices as prime minister? Or is it delayed backlash to Golda Meir's prime ministership?

Put aside that the 60/30 division on Jewish voters in NYC seems to be based exclusively on respondents within religious identification, I think it actually does line up well with the overarching polling on Jewish American sentiment regarding Palestine.

Dammit, CBS News has become a horror show that will help time warp us back to the dark ages. But with programming that's too pro-Trump even for Susan Sarandon, the network is probably looking at worse ratings than a late night double feature.
