My uncle of course, who is nearly as good at math as his sister (to the point that he was a ranked bridge player) got recruited by U of C and dropped out (for bridge) and got through a lot of life by being Very Good at Math despite being also notoriously unpleasant.

Real answer: used to dictating to a woman who would write a cogent communication based on rambling nonsense or gnomic single sentence. From formal business letters to "personal" notes.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Grew up UES and yeah, basically.

Let me tell you: these people are having breathless freakouts about people who live two, three blocks away. They think bus fare is what keeps them safe because they are completely bonkers about how they are racist. Their mindscape of the city does not reflect actual reality.

On the other hand, having tried to make a tamale-party batch of masa with a 4qt glass-bowl lift-head....

So I just went with the Costco model. And it's amazing.

I was sooooo deep in these weeds at one point and then I realized that unless I was doing large batches of ultra-low hydration dough it DID NOT MATTER. Cookies and cakes and sane-person bread, in "big party but not catering" quantities do not need the DC motor and the all metal gearing and and and

(indeed it seems to be the same motor in the Costco 6 and non-Costco 7, just different bowl)

It's possible to get REALLY into the weeds on gearing and vintage models but the real answer in 2025 in KitchenAid is "bowl lift". The current question is "are the Ankarsrum weirdoes right?"
November 12, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Best bet is probably the Costco one - 6qt bowl-lift. Above that there's the double-the-price 7qt with "redesigned touch points" and commercial models. As to the latter I can't speak but the former just seems to be the Costco model with nicer switches and a $300 premium for 17% more capacity.

Oof real "and what were you doing at the devil's sacrament?" feelings from that particular text string.

Rassilon is VERY MUCH a public school/Oxbridge man, just the equivalents on Gallifrey.
