WTF-Beta

I know that this pasta company is made in the US (and the ones I have had have been excellent!) I’m currently not buying from them because I’m trying to support non-US companies here in Canada, but it might be helpful to US based folks here: https://www.sfoglini.com/pages/contact-us

@Bernard Thanks! I also like raglan sleeves. Or dropped, like @AndyD 's cardigan. The sweater I made is crocheted but I see that there are knitting patterns that use the same top-down technique. I wanted a cardigan because they are easy on/easy off if you are too cold/hot. And something that's for everyday use. While I prefer natural fibers like wool, I have to say that being able to machine wash this acrylic one is nice. I have a bunch of wool sweaters that my Mom made that I also wear, though most are pullovers. She was a prolific knitter! I haven't knit anything in decades but have been scouting around for a pattern for an Aran cardigan.

@Piano-Dad That's what I've heard too.

@Amanda Wow that’s super interesting! I remember, a few years after I started playing piano, I was trying to get a score for happy birthday and that’s when I learned about the copyright. I remember something about it struck me as odd… maybe this was it. ??

I really enjoy singing with choirs - for me, rehearsing is the best part and the concerts are the "have to" part of joining.

Lol. My mobile home doesn't have insulation (some do-- installed after manufacturing). It gets up to 120.

Don’t you have to approve tap to pay? Mine won’t pay unless I either unlock with face id, or type in my lock code.

He went and was photographed kissing the ring of the son of George Soros. Publicly available photograph. Any time I have invested emotion in a politician it has been a fool's errand. Never got on this train. Never going to have to get off. Marginally better than most but billionaires and status quo forces aligned against change point to gridlock. My 2 cents. At least he understands many of his voters were in fact Jewish and he presumably understands the difference between Judaism and Zionism.

Great! Congratulations!

The golden age of internet platforms has been over for a long time.

Tin soldiers can do better next time. I hope they do so. I'm really not being fair. The tin soldiers have or are aged/ aging out of life. Again, I hope for better outcomes.

They did something right.

BBC news just showed a clip of a football match in Canada (Ottawa?) heavy snow falling on the pitch at minus 8 🤪 and a terrific goal scored by team in red and black stripes.

@Steve-Miller Fair? The IOC had a very fair policy. Worth reading... https://www.usopc.org/diversity-equity-inclusion/transgender-athlete-participation-in-sport When considering participation in sport, we rely on fairness as our guiding principle. It is not fair if athletes cannot participate or compete in sport because of their gender identity – participation in sport should be available to everyone. Similarly, it is not fair if an athlete must face unreasonable field of play safety risks or a much-reduced chance for success in competitive sport due to sex-linked physiology – ensuring fairness in sport should be a priority for everyone. The anti-trans fear mongers aren't interested in fairness. They want absolute abolition of it.

@Steve-Miller said in Recipes for cold weather: a ham bone I think was leftover from Easter Thanks for the reminder. I'm pretty sure I have one or more ham bones buried in the freezer. In our house, ham bones go into split pea soup, Mr wtg's favorite.

Good grief.
