Just heard about this on BBC News. Trump's thoughts on Truth Social on the deaths of the Reiners.
A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!
25th Amendment might need a review right about now....he is completely irrational and obsessed. How can he possibly make any reasoned decisions relating to his role as President?
I've run into the same problem with butternut squash. When it's uncooked, it is a bitch to deal with.
Someone here suggested a brief cook in the microwave before starting any cutting; I don't remember for how long. I've used a very large chef's knife or a cleaver and....a rubber mallet. I put the squash on Mr wtg's workbench, position the knife/cleaver on the squash, and tap lightly to penetrate the very tough skin. I continue tapping until I'm all the way through. Peeling it and then cutting it into chunks is also a total pain.
I finally gave up buying them whole. I pay the extra and buy the cut up squash at Costco or the grocery store.
Agreed! Mr wtg and I have watched some of her shows on PBS and enjoyed them immensely.

There might be something of interest to WTF crafters in this review of a book called Patchwork: A Sewist's Diary. Also had some links to other books that I'm putting on my "to read" list. Knitting Without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmerman, for one.

@ShiroKuro You didn't really miss it. I edited the (deleted) post so the photo showed up but forgot to restore it so everyone could see it! Like I said, the greying out of a deleted post is subtle....
@ShiroKuro check out Loki, too !

A man ate at the same Florida restaurant every day for a decade. When he stopped showing up, the chef went looking for him.

@Mary-Anna Yes, it took a few months to completely recover but all is well now.
I'm interested in how COVID (the disease and/or the vaccine) affects our bodies, especially in light of my own reaction to the vaccine. When I saw the results of this admittedly early study it just brought home once again how complex and how individual our responses are to various pathogens and treatments (vaccines, medications, etc.). The tofu remark was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I did wonder if there might come a day when someone could front load with tofu (probably in a pill rather than a stir fry) before getting a COVID vaccine, so they could get the benefits of the vaccine without possible negative effects..
@Mary-Anna I fixed the photo. And it actually was deleted. On this forum the original poster and people with superpowers can still see the deleted post. It is greyed out but it’s pretty subtle so it may look like it is still there. Everyone else sees "This post has been deleted".
It can also be restored by the OP and admin people.
