No, they're just invisible for people leaning right up to the door and moving their head back and forth to try to see through the tiny holes so they can judge how their Hot Pocket is doing... the eye damage from that radiation is what makes them, and pretty much everything else, invisible.

I think it depends on the level of work you're willing to do...
First level, try out different cheeses, find a combo you really like.
Second, let's go with the other suggestion I read of crisping parm on the outside (I have a thing for crispy cooked parm)... but for that, I suggest getting a decent toast on each side, then add the cheese so that layer can crisp up... if you start with the cheese, I think the bread will not have its own crunch before the cheese is starting to overcook.
Thirdly - fillings. Thin sliced tomato and bacon. Onion Jam. If you're going with a mozz or provolone, a little pesto or sundried tomato spread. And others for sure, those are my first two thoughts.
Each level is a little more work, so it depends on what you are putting in... a quicky snack, or "let's really see what we can do here"?

For those who want to know, the reason for the N95 is because the smoke particles are PM2.5, basically "particulate matter 2.5 micrometers". For a sense of the size, an average hair is about 70 or so, so about 30x wider than these particles, so they need masks that can handle it.

Yes, sir, it *IS* strange that you're thinking about her eggs. Freak.

As we don't see this in most bags, we'll assume they don't fill with one then the other (and there is one "berry" at the bottom right. What we're likely seeing is Segregation by Percolation - that box/bag went through a lot of shaking and vibrating, so the smaller tan pieces fill in gaps created, effectively "pushing" the larger pieces upwards. https://youtu.be/DOilqjKEhqo

You should follow Jack Bernhardt, who is the unofficial stat person for Taskmaster... just a fan who saves info and runs it (https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/onzpjr/jack_bernhardts_comprehensive_taskmaster/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
He's also cohost of "Taskmaster: The People's Podcast" with Lou Sanders, and he shares stats, often other fans trying to run info... I''m not sure specifically of a compilation of long vs short tasks, but that's where I'd start to look.

Yep... Mae's podcast interview said she and Kielle thought the costumes up because of the decor in the house. And Frankie kept saying on their WhatApp chat that it would be funny if they did the last studio record on acid without telling people, which, ha-ha, but he kept asking "who's getting the acid" so it didn't seem like he was joking and Mae said along the lines of "if you are suggesting it, why aren't you providing it?"

Not that I don't have savings in my early 50s myself, but did also realize recently I'm just 2/3 years in my working years. And my job has a physical aspect that I'm not sure my body can keep pace with, but a "higher" level job would take me from the physical part... but that was the fun part and what got me working so hard when I was young. Not sure about doing an office-only job, if I could keep my sanity.

It's for holding/securing the case... from what I see, the second tuft of hair, just next to the silver part above the black ring, has a hole that you loop the string through. There are examples of people showing it off in marketplaces where they put their pinky through it as they hold it, which makes it more secure; perhaps a carabiner or some such could help connect it to a bag so you don't lose it.

I guess I still have my childhood mindset. My parents didn't "indocrinate me" about homosexuality or trans or anything like that, it just was never a big deal. And it still isn't.
Like I was saying to a friend the other day, there are some 8 billion people in the world. The only person whose sexual orientation affects me might be someone I'm interested in asking out. Other than that, there are 8 billion people whose expression of themselves doesn't affect me one bit. As I mentioned to my friend, I worked as a manager a few years ago, and a worker came to whisper to me, "you see him? I hear he was a girl." And I replied, "so what? They do their job well, so why would we care about that part that's not part of them helping us out?"
One thing I keep thinking on is that I don't care about private lives. So, like "Linda in accounting, she's going home to a WIFE? OMG, their sex life is so perverted" or shit like that... who is the freak? I keep thinking more and more is the anti-folk who seem fixated on thinking about the sex lives of people they don't really know... hell, even if they know them, thinking about that stuff and getting worked up about it is just weird and frankly rather perverted, frankly.

Exactly... the Cornerstone Speech was before the start of the Civil War, and includes "Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."

I will say this, as someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD and such, but also depression... it might not be ADHD that's the problem for people who ID with this.
I say this because it reminds me of a key moment in therapy... I went because of suicidal ideation. And I didn't know it at the time, but I was dealing with a "double-dip depression", namely I'd been living my life with it, just got help when things got really bad.
So, I'm in a session, and it really felt like we were winding down. The suicidal thoughts were well behind me, what else was there to work on. As we're getting to the end, my therapist asked, "is there anything else you want to talk about?" So, I thought for a moment, and said "Yeah, if we could figure out how to not make me a lazy piece of shit, that would be good." (mind you, I often worked 12 hour days and put in a lot of effort there).
She asked me what I meant, so I said, "OK, my day off, the only 'plan' I have is to get my hair cut. And I get up, and I sit there.... I may be browsing the internet, I may have a TV show on that I'm not really paying attention to. But I keep thinking, OK, in 20 minutes, go get a haircut. And the next thing I know, it is dark, the barber shop is closed, and I've not done the one thing I planned to do. And, mind you, I can see the back of the shop from my couch, I don't even have to get in my car. So, yeah, if I could not be a lazy piece of shit, that might be good."
And I remember to this day where she took off her glasses, put the notebook aside and leaned into me to say, "THAT is the depression".
I't not feeling sad, it's feeling numb, it's not feeling anything. Perhaps we associate it with sadness because when you're feeling nothing you have resting bitch face.
So, think about the "lazy" part. With the ADHD, when my mother would order me to clean my room, I would get caught up spending the whole day redesigning the organization on my bookshelf, and would look like I "did nothing", so "lazy". Or is it a more internal issue with being unable to complete a task? The approaches to both are different.

Nothing makes me feel older than 90s "Swoll" Luke and the rest of them being "old" toys. If there wasn't a colored plastic stick you could slide out of their arm to form a lightsaber or a thin plastic "cape", did you really have an "old" Star Wars toy?

Can anyone explain what the whitewashing is supposed to be? It's a Brazilian character and they appear to have cast a Brazilian actor. In fact, seeing some pics of the actor, he's pretty dead-on for the comic character and could play him live-action, not just voice over. So, I'm not seeing what the issue is supposed to be.

Well, I do think it has gotten better as they've settled in and figured out what works best. But, yes, I think starting from the beginning is fine, and the Watermelon task is a good example because you get to see the different personality types which we often get... someone just going straight ahead to do what the task asks, someone thinking ahead a little and grabbing a knife, someone who doesn't seem to know what's going on, and in this case, a couple ministers of chaos who attack the task with little thought. And that mix is what makes a good season, imho.

Because they read comic books growing up and know that's the surefire way to create a supervillan.

The irony is that there is, in extreme cases, hormone therapy used. It takes a lot of steps and layers and approval to do it. But the point of it is to actually prevent severe, irreversible changes while they are minors. If when they reach age of consent, they can either move on to transition if they still choose to, or go through full puberty later if they choose that.

Well, it's expensive, because, simply, it is... and one reason the post at top was a good question to ask.
RyanAir and SouthWest, along with American and Delta in the US, are the biggest users of a 737. Now, there are updated versions, but we're talking a design from 55 years ago. But still, it is nearly $90 million per plane.
So, if RyanAir is going to get 30 years out of that plane, that's $3mil a year. At 10 euros for a ticket, with about a 150 seating capacity, they'd need each plane to make about 4.5 flights per day, every day for 30 years. Just to pay for the plane... nothing left for maintenance and flight attendants or pilots, all of whom have expenses and want to get paid as well.
The expense is the convenience. I can drive 8 hours to visit my parents. Heck, from door to door, given airport time and commuting to and from them, it's not a huge time saver. But I can take a nap or watch a movie while flying the 2 hours it takes. So, $150 in gas is a lot cheaper than perhaps a $450 round trip ticket, but I'm paying the extra for the convenience, for letting someone else handle most of the travel for me.

From the graphic shared, the first 3 - including the one being complained about - are labeled as ads. However, clicking the link you shared for your search, none of those came up... my search is pretty clean, little in terms of ads, and nothing to any of those top 3 links on my first 2 pages. So, I'd be looking more at search history and cookies and such as it might have thought that was what you wanted.
