    @Piano-Dad Yes, I know how to reach you. We do have some folks who signed up and who have either never posted or haven't posted in a long time. I don't want to pester them with updates unless they want to be pestered. You can choose the option to hide your email address from casual observers, but people with superpowers can see that info. Mostly I just wanted to know who wants to be notified if we have a major outage. Additionally, a few folks who signed up early might not have had to provide an email address to create a user ID because registration was open and didn't require authorization by an admin or mod. Eventually we locked the door and deleted all the spammers who had signed up while this was the backup site. I just wanted people to check their profile and see if they have an email addy where they can be reached.

    This is Mike Lee, Republican Senator from Utah. The GOP is full of very twisted and sick people. https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1934262175582822629

    Apron or no? Sometimes. Towel hanging from apron? I prefer over the shoulder. Bench scraper? Sometimes. Or scrape cutting board with knife? Sometimes. Blade up or blade down? Down. Garlic in with the aromatics or just for the last minute for fear of burning? Sometimes Jarlic? Frozen garlic? Never heard of it Countertop trash bowl when chopping? Sometimes. Mis en place? Sometimes. Clean as you go or all at once? Sometimes. Where do you stand? In the kitchen.

    TACOs for everyone! Well, at least for the people he thinks voted for him and whose businesses rely on immigrant workers.... U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has told immigration officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, the New York Times reported on Friday. The report cited an internal email and three U.S. officials with knowledge of the guidance. "Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels,” Tatum King, a senior official at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in guidance to regional leaders of the department, the Times added. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the guidance to the Times and said: “We will follow the president’s direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America’s streets,” Reuters: https://archive.is/Tn1t8#selection-1229.20-1249.225 Maybe this will bring some logic and sanity to this process. Sad that it had to come to ICE agents chasing the strawberry picker through a field before the administration got the message...
