Thanks. I actually hadn’t found that faq. There’s another one about multiple toxic metals, but might not be for Corelle

Ah, childhood memories. When we went to this one relatives house, I never understood why my parents never let us play with the rabbits.

…. After I grew up, I had to wonder what that funny tasting “chicken” really was. Adult Me wants to know

Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up

7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes

A swat on the butt with a magazine is a humiliation fetish now? Holy crap, I thought I was too vanilla

You’re assuming Italian pasta is fancy and expensive. I’m sure some is, but some is just common mass market brands on your grocery shelf. Until this nonsense started I didn’t realize the pasta I sometimes get is from Italy

You missed the part where everything became global. There are well known mass market pasta brands that are owned by Italian companies. The brand I sometimes buy is, and I don’t get it because it’s Italian or the cheapest, but that it’s a good value of quality for a reasonable price

On a similar note, that’s something we seem to have lost with the move toward glass food storage. With plastic containers, there were always choices with a little rack at the bottom so something like a said can remain out of its drippings. But I haven’t seen anything similar for glass …. And containers big enough for a head of lettuce are heavy and expensive

I welcome you!

That’s a tough. Normally I would hope there’d be an easy choice, but things have changed really quickly.

I don’t know much about real life in China but every time the current American administration violates human rights or represses science sacrifices our future to line their pockets or attack our friends and allies, it seems like I read about the Chinese government moving in the opposite direction. The direction of “good”, the direction the US always claimed to be. They seem to be making a lot of smart moves for their economic, technical and scientific future, and for larger influence as a global citizen. I have no way to evaluate the current level of repression but they’re at least saying alot of the right things

And child rapist. Even if you want to be pedantic about what qualifies as pedophilia, statutory rape is still rape and some who’s not an adult is still a child.

And if you want to be extra pedantic, it’s worse. Following a response above, one is a mental disorder that can be lived with, whereas the other is taking action, actually sexually assaulting children

Sure, but solar panels are an end goal. Natural gas is at best an intermediary goal that also established new fossil fuel infrastructure, and may be much worse for the environment than expected, depending on methane leaks

The cynic in me says way too much of this is simply natural gas being less expensive, with no environmental motivation. And even worse that it doesn’t account for methane leaks

Just keep On, keeping on. One day at a time. Anything for the kids. Then catch up on sleep 20 years later.

My youngest is now at college so I can finally just chill. But I’m “lucky”, he’s been calling me a lot since no one else answers after midnight. Struggling to get up for work reminds me of the good old days of getting up for diaper changes

My grocery store has started carrying “hot dog pitas”! You can fit so many toppings!

(Or really just a lot of onions and chili)

Under. So the mustard is less likely to glop onto your shirt

Don’t forget the office vacancy rate in downtown Chicago matches his number. So someone told him there was 28% office vacancy, and someone told him there was a “Magnificent Mile” shopping district, and he conflated it to miracle mile shopping center 28% vacant because crime

It’s stressful and ineffective. Why do that to myself?

It works much better to block marketing where possible, poison data where you can, scrub personal data from the internet. While the beast is too big too slay, a little effort makes it a lot easier to deal with

My states leaders continue to provide many such examples of resistance. The first thing they did after the 2024 election was to add millions to the attorney generals budget and they’ve been putting it to good use. Pursuing justice through the courts is slow and doesn’t make headlines but it has been succeeding more often than people realuze

But iys more complicated than that. Some functions, like military , are funded for multiple years, so they’re getting paid. And Republicans passed funding for gestapo, so they’re getting paid.

And a few things like SNAP (food stamps) have contingency funding because they’re too critical to interrupt …. Yet it’s still a victim of political games
