Thanks. Sounds to me like a person who reasonable gun control laws would have prevented from gun ownership.

At least it enhances every day value for the customer!

Ugh.

Aljazeera has a scant few additional details:

Police said the officers were there to serve a warrant. At a news conference, Christopher Paris, the state police commissioner, explained that they were following up on an investigation that began the day before, but he shared few other details. “The general heading of that investigation, I would say,

From the original article:

“This kind of violence is not OK. We need to do better as a society,” Shapiro said.

Seems like quite a juxtaposition there. I wonder what the "disturbance" was, and what de-escalation approaches were attempted.

I think the suggestion to just stitch around it is probably sufficient, but an earlier post in this community pointed me to using a speedweve to basically weave a little patch in-place, picking up stitches around all the sides to sew it onto the mended garment. Looks pretty cool if you want to go to that much effort.

They're fun, and pretty quick turnaround. Good luck!

Bummer, I had a pretty high opinion of RPI up until now. I would say 'wait and see what results get published,' but we saw how that worked out with the elections, and I can't imagine anyone would take that money without knowing the result they're expected to deliver.

I made a couple shapes, some with red bean paste and some plain:

Proved and ready to stream (10m steaming + 3 rest as in the recipe):

2nd try yielded very successful bao (steamed buns)!

I followed whattocooktoday's recipe , which has lots of helpful explanations of rationale and alternatives. I used corn starch (didn't have wheat starch or pastry flour on hand) and it worked just fine, the steamed bao are very light and delicate. I also used active (not instant) yeast; it didn't bubble much when using cold milk (Oatley's what I had) but the buns proved nicely in an hour at about 90F.

My 1st try was following some notes from a relative, which were about 65% hydration all AP flour, and came out much too dense/chewy.

If all the employees/execs agree, could they quit en masse and form a new company? I guess they'd need to build new factories. And maybe run afoul of non competes.

But yeah, seems like selling your soul and then asking the public to ransom it for you is irresponsible.

100 coins in the clock was probably my toughest of the 120 stars.

Should've done that. Their password reset link did not work, had to sign in and find the password change settings myself. And now they require special character / caps / etc.

And shooting them.
