Just a wild guess on my part: it might be that there are more nerve endings on your arms than on your legs, so your arms are more sensitive to the sensations that you need to re-apply sunscreen. Nerve density varies greatly between body parts and even people.

Got some tortilla chips at Costco years ago that were 1. Better chips than Doritos and 2. Seasoned less vigorously. I can't remember the brand and I haven't seen them since. Kind of a white whale for me.

My guess: Spez team broke it when the monetizattion algo collided with the censorship algo.

Low heat and patience. Sneak up on it. Having a pan or griddle that heats evenly helps, too.

We're backwards and repressive in so many ways! USA! USA!

I mostly agree with you, but I don't think it's a fading fad. There was way too much AI hype, way too early. However, it gets gradually but noticeably better with each new release. It's been a game changer for my coworkers and me at work.

Our merciless greedy overlords will always choose software over human employees whenever they can. Software doesn't sleep, take breaks, call out sick, etc. Right now it makes too many mistakes. That will change.

My grandmother made it all the time. My parents seldom made it. I have never made it. I associate it with hospitals and crappy school cafeterias.

I'm very excited the federal government is finally doing its damned job and investigating this shit. It is long, long, LONG overdue. PBMs are a shining example of "if you want to get away with something evil, hide it inside of something boring."

I hope they government finally gets some traction on it. I also hope some people running these PBMs go to prison. Though that is probably way too much to hope for. Because in the USA, we don't punish wealthy people like that unless they commit the sin of ripping off other wealthy people (like Madoff or Holmes). Probably the best we can hope for is some heavy fines and tougher regulations. But these snakes almost always find a way to slither through new cracks. Most of these rent-seeking layers of middle-men should not even exist in healthcare.

Yup. And a career in politics sucks way more than most people realize. It's almost all fund raising all the time. On the phone begging for money. And when you're not doing that, you're dealing with belligerent morons like MTG.

The Democrats and Republicans mostly despise each other, but the establishment from each naturally have a few things in common. I am not a centrist "both sides" guy. However, with rare exceptions, members of both major parties are pro-capitalism, just for starters.

They are not secretly working together, but they do have somewhat overlapping goals. And some of those goals do screw over working people. Private health insurance tied to your employer is something both parties praise and support. That's one easy example.

And some of them cross the aisle and openly work together on bipartisan issues.

Finally, the "left" in the United States is really not left. Both parties pull rightward. The Republicans pull rightward much harder than the Democrats. A few progressives and democratic socialists try to pull us left.
