Pam Bondi acknowledged she had a list of contacts among 200 pages of documents and was demanding more from Patel. It's available on the DOJ website.

I don't refrigerate them and they've been fine. IIRC there is not a refrigerate after opening notice on either LaoGanMa or Fly By Jing.

Americans have come to think of Chinese products as bad quality because of the American companies who engage them for cheaper labor. Walmart was known to order products made to a certain spec one year, then the next year demand the company increase production, but for the same amount paid as the previous year. The Chinese company, not wanting to lose the contract, obliges, but corners have to be cut. It should be called Americanesium, not Chineseum.

Derek Guy (Die, Workwear!) posted a thread a while back (I think about 6 months ago) about how the Chinese can and do make great quality products, pointing out high quality fabrics. Give them money to buy good raw materials, give them a decent wage, and they'll put out a good product. Honestly, they probably have a more fair work ethic than some American companies that just feed their CEOs massive salaries or are owned by private equity.

Felony to operate your air conditioner. Awesome

I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check "desktop site". These things worked fine a couple years ago.

It already proved its inability with facts with its white genocide rantings.

So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians? Are any Israelis condemning him for that?

[–] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah don't let those bystander deaths get in the way of a good thing now. Ok I do hear what you're saying but I'm angry about it and can't bring myself to disagree.

Yeah, I know, but they're also heavily protected by unions. This guy maybe not so much

Christ up a tree, that was an untrained volunteer who fired and killed an innocent bystander? And was told not to carry? I had assumed police were doing security. I hope the idiot gets charged with at least manslaughter. That was entirely irresponsible. I'm sure the charge is going to land on the arrested guy but honestly the volunteer is responsible for unsafely firing.

I think this one's a winner for me, thanks!

 

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) announced she will not seek reelection this year, avoiding an unpredictable three-way race in the swing state that had many national Democrats worried about holding onto the seat.

 

Salmon was vacuum sealed a couple months ago but smelled a little burnt and a small amount (1/8" deep x 2" long by 1/4" wide) discolored. I generously cut off the discolored bit but wondering if the rest will taste bad.

Edit: It turned out great! indistinguishable from un freezer burnt.

 

It actually did end up with a breath of sourdough to it and a nice chewiness. This was some starter that I had built up and maintained, dried and stored over a year ago, then rehydrated a week ago.
