As others mention already, the problem is the plastic, not the microwave, even the article ends with "Go with glass". There have to be many alternatives but I happened upon cookanyday and never looked back. I almost never used the microwave oven before but these make it not only convenient, I actually like the results. Well, most times. Like many products (pressure cooker, air fryer) they want you to just do _everything_ in your new toy, but everything has its sweet spot. I use all at least once every week.

Or pushing keys with a stylus, a pencil with the eraser side, or some other object that won't leave a thermal print?

I don't know whether it's a better suggestion, but telenovelas (and there are plenty of those) will likely help one learn Spanish better, or better Spanish, while using more realistic intonations and voices, than El Chavo del Ocho with its adult actors making child-like voices and using many expressions you won't find in real-life conversations.

From what I can see it's most famous IN that area, not "from". Looking in Australia I see a lot of not-australians.

Picasso was from Spain, so is it then the most famous from? or in? a Country

Personally I don't care they're just copying a rival. I do not have/use Tiktok and do easily spend a good chunk of time looking at the "reels" in IG. Even if most of these turn out to be direct lifts out of Tiktok, I'm not about to "switch" or even open an account over there, I already have the content over here. I assume that's part of the strategy to not hemorrhage users, in my case it works.

Including a famous misquote

Small scale. Where I grew up a billion had 12 zeroes, nowadays it has 9. It's a thousand millions, not a million millions.

As soon as I read "financial securities fraud identified in SEC filings…" immediately brought to mind an article in Bloomberg [1]:

"Securities fraud is a universal regulatory regime; anything bad that is done by or happens to a public company is also securities fraud, and it is often easier to punish the bad thing as securities fraud than it is to regulate it directly."

this right after:

"And so contributing to global warming is securities fraud, and sexual harassment by executives is securities fraud, and customer data breaches are securities fraud, and mistreating killer whales is securities fraud, and whatever else…"

The point of TFA likely still stands, but I wonder to what extent the points from Levine's Bloomberg article colors, or skews the data.

Memepool was my favorite source for interesting or fun links to follow. For "more intelligent" links (related to Web dev. IA, programming, etc) I frequented Tomalak's Realm. I see several mentions of Slashdot, Kuro5hin was a descendant from it that also got traction. Edit to add K10K which was design inspiration.

I have done this a few times, and got inconsistent results. Distance to mirror, or camera to face, positioning of the ruler, they all seem to induce variability. Once I got a reproducible result and went with that, ordered progressive glasses online and they were… off. On another occasion I got PD (and prescription) numbers from optometrist at Visionworks, then took numbers and ordered from Zenni, and they were… off again. Also this PD number again different from the one I had measured myself. But when ordering directly at the store they were perfect. I even wondered whether they actually gave me the wrong PD number, to "teach" me a lesson not to go order elsewhere. Sigh.

Well, yes, as a mexican living in the U.S. I am frequently dismayed at the use of "pico de gallo" and "burrito", and even tried to resist, but it is a losing battle. Now even the american use of burrito has made its way back to México and I fear younger generations grown up with the american version instead. I'll be over there on my corner all grumpy, then be forgotten.

Still, if TV isn't online, you don't give it access to your network, that doesn't go anywhere.

What data? If the TV isn't online, then why would you enter any data on it? I guess you could always connect a Roku and then give your data to Roku, or a Chromecast since Google already has your data, or a FireTV stick, since Amazon already has your data. Well, at least Samsung/LG/Sony/Vizio/etc don't, reduce a little bit the attack surface.

What about the image of my face I left behind on the subway, or on the field during an ultimate frisbee game? Sure you can keep my image on your camera, or photo print, but you may not profit from it, because it isn't your property.

to get $700 in rewards, you have to charge $35,000 on it, that's almost $3,000 monthly. I guess that would be doable if including rent and utilities (I doubt you can pay a mortgage with credit), but yes, more than the annual fee is definitely easy. Especially the first year in which you get the 50,000 bonus plus no fee.

…and respect the weight.

All it takes is a lapse in concentration. In my case, my grip started to fail mid set. So I switched (from overhand to mixed), next rep that wasn't enough and, well, surely I can save this rep if I just engage my bi… Oh, snap! Surgery and a year later, mostly recovered, but still.

I am from México, and came here to comment because the posted website says "Mexico is part of Central America", and well, No. México is definitely, absolutely, unequivocally in North America.

Does the guy have a smartphone?

I have to mention that it precedes "Día de todos los santos" so it's (or was) a two-day celebration. First remember the dead, then celebrate they've gone to heaven.

I am 55 and we did celebrate Día de Muertos back in the 60's. Then we would bring flowers for our deceased, and outside (and inside) the cemetery it would be a lively scene with basically the whole town there doing the same, vendors of flor cempasúchil, sugar skulls, little calaveras (skeletons), etc. it's been an event my whole life, and something my parents celebrated, it's not new.

Many of those sites were designed with such bandwidth, resolution and color constraints. I wonder if they could add some sort of toggle to see display those images in the original intended resolution, or what was common for its day. The jump from 640 to 800 to 1024! The Web-safe 216 colors. Modems from under 3+, to 14, 28, 33, 56 kbps, ISDN, T1 and broadband! you had to use lowsrc attribute in <img> tags while the better image loaded, or pre-loading images in javascript. Glad all of that is over, glad I lived through it.

For this only the notice that it's turned off comes up for me. Great. Alas it's Google that knows everywhere I've been https://google.com/maps/timeline?pb

I disagree, and feel as I mentioned that they candidate's history is more relevant than their age and a non-defined over-qualification. In any case, when that's a worry, bring it up as a concern during the hiring process, work it out with the candidate. Now I cannot deny it happens, as demonstrated by @WillPostForFood in this sub-thread, but that does not mean everybody, not even most candidates think along the same lines. A lot just want an honest job that pays fairly, and as I stated originally, their history would likely be more telling in that regard.

In which case the applicant's employment history would be a lot more relevant. As in, have they been job-hopping, historically "not-lasting" at a job? or do they commit to their work and see it through. If you're offering a decent job and pay fairly, there's no reason to assume an applicant will simply "not last" only because of them being "over-qualified", whatever that means.

I'm sure one can find similar examples in any or many language(s). Albures are indeed very common in México, and something quite rare here in the U.S. in my experience.

They're usually a way to have a little silly fun at someone's expense, of course, in front of an audience of at least one. For example one time two other friends form México and I were listening to an american friend tell us about all the fabulous mexican dishes that he had tried and liked very much. He sure knew his antojitos. So one of us asked him, "so, you like tostadas?" -yes, "tortas?" -yes, "enchiladas?" -Oh Yes, "de hoyo!?" -LOVE THEM! … everyone bursts out laughing. He just blushed and asked "I've been had right?" - Yawp.

Re: "uncured" is really also cured, but using celery powder which is a source of naturally occurring nitrates, vs "industrially extracted nitrites/nitrates". The result being the same, the same substance used to prevent spoilage. Incidentally Celery is also high in oxalates, so if you tend to accumulate those (kidney stones) you might be better off with actually "cured" products in comparison with "uncured"
