    The thing with San Marzano tomatoes is not the variety but the location - the volcanic soils around Vesuvius. If they weren't grown there the designation is pretty meaningless. I use Cento San Marzano tomatoes regularly and find them a fine product. Many chefs agree. This lawsuit strikes me as just a competitor trying to tarnish the frontrunner.

    A bit surprising that people still buy greeting cards. Last one I bought was about a year ago. I bought one single card using reward points at a local drug store. Not sure what I will or want to do if/when I get to 85 years of age. Anyone here who has crossed that threshold want to suggest something?

    I guess because I've been to Disney in Orlando about twenty times, and in LA twice, I'm not understanding what the big deal is about going, why people pay so much money, or where theyre getting it in this economy.

    Well, HR departments have legal ways to effectively blacklist what would seemingly otherwise be excellent job prospects with the effect being many people can't even get called in for interview and have no way to tell themselves the reason why. You don't need AI to mess up your job prospects, although I don't doubt it does it's fair share of damage.

    The Spirit shutdown has left a small regional airport in my area - Arnold Palmer Airport in Latrobe, PA - entirely without commercial air service as Spirit was the only airline flying out of there. They still will be serving private and charter aviation as well as a flight school but are urgently seeking another carrier who might fly from there.

    MrsTuner has one of the magnet battery packs and she uses that to extend her use when it's not easy to plug in. Way easier than the corded battery packs I have floating around!

    @Mark Good eyes! The sink distracted me and I didn't notice the door. That is some interesting carpentry.
