@jbarro Learning to cook for yourself is one of the most under-taught skills in our society (right up there with financial literacy). Hordes of life problems can be solved with those two skills.

@jbarro @mattyglesias Chicken roasted in a Dutch Oven is the best way to keep it moist!

@jbarro @thejadge @Timodc Likud won 23% of the vote in 2022, which is a plurality, not a majority. Let’s not paint the entire nation with a broad brush.

@jbarro @kensweet Not to mention that they will just raise the merchant fees to cover the reduced revenue, thereby taking it out on small businesses

@Gladwell Generous Orthodoxy is still my all-time favorite!

@walsha Are the ECHL’s revenues available anywhere, even via estimates, à la Forbes’ annual NHL data dump? This would help understand the bigger picture for both sides.
