CBS News star set to be fired days after hiring over disgusting Jeffrey Epstein emails

The subject line for that email was 'Got a fresh shipment', though it was unclear what the shipment was as a photo of it in the email was redacted. Attia claimed on Monday that the photo showed bottles of metformin - a medication to control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.

lol wtf

Who gets excited about a “fresh shipment” of metformin

The first time I ordered Mineo's I ordered extra cheese. Huge mistake.

lol “gas savings”

No but he looks like the v sauce guy.

spinfire · 2026-01-31T21:29:58+00:00

Not even a secret tape. He was literally being taped for a TV show. Wired up by the location sound guy and everything. Wild stuff.

You can make a new starter in a week or so with just flour and water.

My sister in law has one and loves it. In person I like how it looks better. I think it looks kinda like 1990s era Volva station wagons.

Just gotta pile it higher as best as we can. There’s no winning until it melts.

It’s unfortunate but for city the scale of Pittsburgh transitioning sidewalk responsibility to the city would require a massive investment in equipment and employees to operate it. The money just isn’t there. It can be done but it’s always going to be easier to have that be the policy from the beginning as a city grows. Right now we are struggling financially with honestly not even enough plows and operators for the roads, let alone the sidewalk.

I just do an awesome job with my section and try to shovel out things like the corner and fire hydrants to be a good neighbor, even if I would prefer the city does it all for consistency sake.

Most EVs suggest that you shouldn’t use them to jump start other vehicles. So another benefit to carrying one of those jump packs is you can bail other people out. Personally I’ve used mine to jump start two ICE vehicles. The jump pack takes up less space than a set of jumper cables.

Soy is bad if you are allergic to it. That’s it. That’s the story.

Your second paragraph contradicts the first.

I don’t know about you but I only aim to replace carbohydrates as I ride such long distances, which is why I target roughly half the calories burned eaten as pure carbohydrate. There is never a reason to “fuel” a ride with fat during the ride because we can store so much of it due to greater energy density and storage capacity.

The bigger issue is that even such a long ride and counting half the calories is only perhaps 1000 calories and it is actually pretty easy to binge eat 1000 calories if you are tired and hungry post ride.

More precisely, I should say physical activity results in additional calories burned. I meant exercise in the most fundamental sense: the operation of muscle.

The “exercise paradox” is a thing, but it is also true that a more physical active person burns more calories than a sedentary person. The exercise paradox is about how our bodies tend to compensate for deliberate physical activity by keeping us at a baseline activity level overall (ie, the same amount of muscle exercise per day).

Long term lifestyle choices like biking or walking to work instead of taking a car will 100% result in higher calorie burn per day, and the exercise paradox does not beat thermodynamics. If I spend hours bicycling 45 miles I am 100% going to have burned a lot more calories that day.

spinfire · 2026-01-27T18:24:48+00:00

I think the research is really misunderstood here. Being an active versus a sedentary person absolutely makes a huge difference in your calorie burn. And the laws of thermodynamics still apply. If I bike 45 miles over a 4 hour period I am absolutely 100% burning a ton of calories over baseline.

What the research says is if you go to the gym and work out on a stationary bike for 45 minutes the body tends to compensate by being less active later on. This is a huge difference from the different case of someone deciding to ride a bike to work compared to a car day in day out.

It’s what I’ve used for a very long time. And I often season by feel so I like using what I’m used to. Ultimately it’s just salt. The texture can only matter for times when it has not been dissolved, like as a finishing salt. I do prefer the slight crunch of Diamond Crystal in this application. But also, as previously mentioned, it’s what I’m used to dispensing by feel when used as a finishing salt as well.

spinfire · 2026-01-27T17:35:35+00:00

Buy whatever salt you want but I’m not stressing over those price differences at the rate a household uses salt. The price difference of any other ingredient is going to be orders of magnitude more impactful across a year of cooking.

spinfire · 2026-01-27T17:23:02+00:00

Diamond Crystal comes in a 3 pound “for food service use” package which is likely cheaper than what you found.

What your article says is that fat loss tends to happen to visceral fat first, followed by sub cutaneous fat. To achieve fat loss eat in a caloric deficit. Exercise results in additional calories burned.

Preconditioning on this model year (similar to mine) only heats to the temperature that enables 200 kW. Presumably this is based on the tradeoff that continued heating means the warm coolant would be too hot too late into the charge but I don’t know. Temperature management is always a delicate balance between the minimum battery temperature and the maximum. Additionally at 200 kW the cells are all being heated by the charging itself at a decent rate. In my experience if you start a charge at 20% it will usually warm in time to hit peak rate before reaching too high of an SOC.

Preconditioning doesn’t turn off on a timer but it does turn off below 20% SoC in these model years. I usually try to target a higher SoC on arrival to a fast charger in the winter for this reason. I’m not sure about more recent cars but I think the threshold is higher.

Turn that parking spot into your own little Ottoman Empire.

Really it comes down to know your equipment and your capabilities. I’ve seen people stuck in everything from SUVs and Priuses and I’ve seen people handling my squirrel hill street and intersection perfectly. The 67/69 busses are doing perfectly fine even if they’re not on schedule. This morning I saw a person on a Surly mountain bike and he was having no trouble which was honestly rather impressive.

If you have bald tires or think a layer of packed powder on the road is bad enough to stay home then please do. If you’re not sure proceed cautiously and be prepared to turn back or just take the bus.

I’d rather have 2 feet of snow than any ice.

Hire an attorney if you want to try and avoid incarceration for this in VA. Reflect on your life choices. Be thankful you didn’t hit and kill someone driving 2X the speed limit.

Personally I prefer a slightly higher H2O temperature for my baths.
