Baking is chemistry. You mess with proportions of ingredients at your peril!

I've tried to like these, and they are really quite nice-looking fruit, but I agree with you on all points re: texture, taste, and false marketing! :-)

Today's ride starts the week at 31.5 miles and takes me to 1,513 miles ridden since I got the bike back in May. Not bad for my first season of riding.

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

This mRNA result is spectacular. It reminds me of this less heralded result with retatrutide slowed down cancer progression for also complicated and unexpected ways. This was in lung and pancreatic cancers.

June Lockhart, beloved mother figure from ‘Lassie’ and ‘Lost In Space,’ dies at 100 June Lockhart, who became a mother figure for a generation of television viewers whether at home in “Lassie” or up in the stratosphere in “Lost In Space,” has died. She was 100.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Any Reagan Foundation staff, and any lawyers who help them, should be named and humiliated into the Stone Age, made socially and legally radioactive, if they try any bullshit.

Today's ride included lots of deer, kittens, and young folks planting trees along the trail. 38.4 miles for the week. I'm back, baby! However, thanks to all the layers, I probably looked like the Michelin man.

Today's long-awaited ride was about 3 miles shorter than planned thanks to the rain that hit as soon as I got to Riverside. It was way too cold to risk getting drenched. Gotta dig up some warmer gear for tomorrow. New tires are perfect. Huge difference!

🧪Superb work, a must read!

Tech companies replicate the tobacco and fossil fuel industries' efforts to distort the scientific record.

They deploy biased incentive structures and barriers, such as selective publishing and restricting data access, to impede evidence-based regulation.

When there is a random way to do something, there is a less random way that is better but requires more thought. In this case, regression models that make no sense don't belong in a multiverse analysis. An inferential regression without a causal justification is like an opinion without reasons.

The trains stealth maneuver from behind the wall is where I start laughing and had to explain myself to my coworker, who then also began laughing as I restarted the video.

If fucking tech dingdong had made intentional surreal art comedy, I'd say glorious success. Alas, no.

what else is like this

Bike's back, but so is the rain, so I'm glad I walked 5 miles today. 41.38 miles walked during the 11 days I didn't have the bike. Back in the saddle tomorrow, I hope!

Chart illustrating weight loss described in post text.

A quick and dirty chart illustrating my weight loss since I started the Retatrutide study and the trend since I had to stop dosing back on 8/8. High was 349.4. Low was 160.7 on 7/7. Current is 181.8 lbs.

Tuesday's labs unfortunately moved in the wrong direction. ALT, AST, GGT all high and CBC still abnormal. ALT went up 10 and AST, which was normal last week, went up 5. GGT dropped by 6 but still too high. Only 3 dosing chances after this.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

Finally getting my bike back tomorrow! Looking forward to getting in at least a quick 10 mile ride to test out the new tires.

Apple Review #22: Mutsu Expectations are poisonous. I believe that. I think our experiences can be colored by our expectations that precede that experience. I don’t think we can help it, necessarily — a lot of…

Hello, the daily apple review WHICH YOU SURELY CRAVE THE WAY ONE CRAVES THE LOVE OF A CHERISHED FRIEND OR A LONG LOST PARENT is now up a the blog. Today: the nuclear Yoda orb known as MUTSU.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Having now read your review, I should mention I experienced huge differences between apples from two different orchards. The second batch definitely came closer to your subjective experience. Slightly different cultivars, I'm guessing?

Mutsu replaced my old favorite the honey crisp (I'm a man of simple tastes). Just wish I had bought more when they were available.

Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.
