Unfortunately, it can also (and more often has in history) have the opposite effect. Because consumer spending is so highly concentrated among the best-off, we could see a significant spending contraction in lower brackets that would have a minimal effect on total spending.

The people who now fuel the market are those with the most insulation from tough times, so even if 100% of low earners found a way to halt 100% of their spending, big companies' profits would only dip 10%, and they'll end up retaining the customers who can handle price increases.

Scene/more?

Suspect wanted to kill Jews, stabbed an unsuspecting Spaniard. Hate to say it, but you really do never expect the Inquisition.

Fun fact, the Broccoli family of Bond fame does not just happen to have a vegetable for a last name. It was in their Italian village, and they claim by one of their own ancestors, that broccoli was bred from local brassica species (cauliflower and rabe). In the 1920s, before producing films, the first generation of US Broccolis started a farm in NY and popularized the vegetable here, 2,000 years after it was invented in Italy.

"Vic" serves triple duty, being short for common men's and women's names, a gender-neutral nickname, and an abbreviation for "victim," which is often used in the same context as J. Doe.

"do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"

I'm Jewish, so unfortunately, Kanye has already taken me to death con 5. But I'm not sure if those are related.

Obviously there are issues here with deception, integrity, laziness, and ethics in entertainment. But it is funny to think of complaints about this being partially "I'm upset this murder didn't actually happen."

Digital content is so dumb. You think you're reading words but really you're executing a bunch of 1s and 0s

Too be fair it's less fondant than a lot of aesthetics-first cakes purely because it isn't 100% coated in a base layer. But yeah, agreed.

"Betty! Looking great, new shoes?"

Imagining an aerogel pyramid 30 miles high getting blown around the world

As far as US cities go, it's a good one for sure, especially for food.

I'm in Chicago so we get cold and snow, but thankfully I have a slight overhang above our grill so I can use it year round. Salmon every Monday at a minimum, skipped about 2 weeks each of the last years when we had 5-10 days below zero. But I can also see our grill from the window in our kitchen and spend a lot of time in between checking and flipping things inside, so I don't get full fanatic credit haha.

Make your own sausage or chorizo without the bad stuff. Grind a cheap cut of meat (pork, beef, chicken, anything) and mix in your favorite spices (just Google the spices used in any specific sausage style you like) and press it into a patty. Since you won't be long-term storing or curing it, you can skip everything but the meat and seasoning while still getting something that tastes like a classic processed sausage.

Just a PSA that AP dropped the hyphen following most common prefixes

How is it any more efficient than a toilet with high and low volume flush options?

Lol thank you, got two new names for the Church of Landlord Day Saints now

What kind of real estate cult now?
