It's fine to wash them with modern dish soaps. The reason people say not to is because dish soaps used to have lye in them, which would destroy the seasoning. Just make sure you wipe the water off instead of letting it air dry or it can rust.

Those aren't even real people. Those "usernames" are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn't know that.

The rounds Attridge fired while traveling at 768 mph left their cannons at approximately 2,000 miles per hour. However, immediately after being fired, they encountered enough air resistance to produce significant drag. This drag resulted in a greatly reduced forward velocity, causing their trajectory to curve downward—directly into the flight path of the aircraft from which they had been fired. As the bullets descended and their speeds decreased to about 400 mph, the Tiger also descended but with an increased speed of 880 mph. Just as he began to pull out of his descent, Attridge was struck three times. The first bullet pierced his nose cone, the second went through his windshield, and the final one directly struck his right engine intake. The time between him firing the first rounds and taking the hits was a mere 11 seconds.

Wow, now they're only worth as much as the next 10 largest auto manufacturers combined. Their market cap is completely disconnected from reality. They should not be worth 4 times as much as Toyota.

Maybe "former" slave plantation isn't an accurate description.

You can get one of those things without a prescription now

I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just "Carolina", so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we're allowed to use partial names?

Edit: Also Columbia is a name

Does this mean that if there's a clerical error and your baby's birth certificate lists the wrong sex, it's illegal to get it corrected?

Why is chocolate milk on this graphic but not regular (non-espresso) coffee? The chocolate milk is the only thing without espresso in it.

I think he's having meth.

Or they try to refill prescriptions that aren't supposed to be. I got a call from them saying they had contacted my doctor and she wouldn't let them refill my short term antibiotics, so I should call and fix that so they can give me more that I don't need.

That looks abismol.

"It's appalling and sad that Senator Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents," Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said at a briefing on Wednesday afternoon.

As one of his constituents I certainly don't feel like he's lacking empathy. I'm definitely planning on voting for him again.

Since they're rendered to look like spheres are the numbers proportional to the area of the circle, or the volume of the sphere?

At least one of those lines goes back on itself at some point, so my assumption is that it's tracking where each country has been over time.

This is why, as a native English speaker, I just never express my emotions.

Peace through strength or, failing that, peace through threat.

This depends on what navigation software you're using, but I have some experience editing the Waze map. The way it works on Waze is that your phone sends the server your desired start and end points, and the server responds with a list of all the intersections you need to traverse in order. (This is actually a series of road segment junctions, wherever the map editors joined two road pieces together). These intersections can contain metadata on how to announce specific turns, but generally don't because there's an algorithm that looks at the angle the segments meet at and automatically decides how to describe the turn. The places I've seen it manually overridden include intersections where two divided highways meet at an angle far enough from 90° that it gets confused about how to announce a left vs a u-turn. I've also seen forks in the road where the side road requires less of a turn than continuing on the main road and the algorithm gives ambiguous instructions, like "continue straight" meaning turn onto the side road.

Edit: On your point about non-visually noticeable "blips". This is also pretty common when roads change width right at an intersection (e.g. adding turn lanes). The Waze map doesn't include road width in its data, so editors usually draw it down the centerline of the road. If the road changes width suddenly, you have to choose between keeping the line straight-ish, or faithfully following the centerline, which can mean that if you were to zoom way in there can be weird jumps and sharp angles that get smoothed out by the visual renderer

It's not, but they gave it a rating.

It's not illegal, but most government employees work for the executive branch, so you can theoretically be fired for not obeying the chief executive (president). Just like someone at a company can be fired for disobeying the CEO, unless there is actually a law protecting the specific behavior.
