Nichols, a Donald Trump appointee, noted that Taranto had spent 22 months in pre-trial detention at the D.C. Jail and that the sentencing guidelines recommended he be sentenced to 27 months in prison at most, thus making a five-month sentence unnecessary.

So since he had been in detention for most of the normal sentence he didn’t have to finish out the rest of it? How does that make any sense?

Is “with all due respect” ever used as something other than conveying a lack of respect? All the times I have ever heard it the context made it clear it was saying “fuck you” without breaking decorum.

Sir, this is a living room.

I was extremely disappointed that it wasn’t a Rizzo the Rat reference.

Since forgetting is so common for me I set a timer on the microwave that is mounted right above the stove and has the air blower thingy to spread out the moisture air from boiling.

Yup. All of my early issues with flaking or a rough surface was due to putting oil on cold and putting too much after to trying to repair it with too much seasoning.

Eventually saw directions that explained the right way to season as adding lots of thin layers like spray paint, not a coating like house paint. Also explained adding oil after heating kept it from humming ip and causing the same issues. Doesn’t even have to be at a high temp either, just wait till it is radiating some heat before adding the oil.

I have had four teeth replaced with the oral surgeon doing the screw and the dentist did the crowns. Yes it is expensive, but reasonably common, and partially covered by dental insurance.

When it is new or if it was necessary to strip and start over, sure.

Once it has been cooked on a half dozen times it can just be washed with dish soap, dried, and put away. No more work than any other handwashing of a pan.

Yes, but missing the nuance that seasoned cast iron that has been cleaned by dish soap has the black polymerized layer while a bunch of morons are opposed to actually cleaning and think burnt on food other than the polymerized oils is ‘seasoning’ and recommend just wiping it out with a towel.

My cast iron isn’t anything special but it sheds more water than my non-stick ceramic when turned sideways while cleaning and wiping doesn’t leave any black stains on a paper towel.

Face justice like Cheney before him!

This has been one of my rotating backgrounds on my work PC for years along with Picard facepalming.

This looks higher res, thank you for the upgrade!

But you do replace your brake pads before the wear out completely instead of just letting them grind your rotors, right?

Most dentist visits are like oil changes and vehicle checks to make sure things aren’t going to fail catastrophically.

Soooooo, boobs?

That is the goal of education.

Dentists make a lot more money off of major repairs and general maintenance than they do by replacing teeth entirely.

Oral surgeons on the other hand do make money off major repairs to damaged teeth or teeth replacements. I know people often call anyone who works on teeth a dentist, but technically they are different professions.

We have had massive improvements in batteries so that bodes well!

Here’s a documentary about it for good measure!

Did he literally throw a sandwich? Yes.

Is he guilty of forcible assault by throwing the sandwich? No.

If doing a thing was the same as guilt there wouldn’t be a trial.

A solution so obvious that the current US system must be intentionally shitty for some reason.
