Oh, they were. You could get a 12-count variety pack: chocolate, poppy seed, and blueberry. Each muffin was about 4" in diameter.

I've been missing the giant poppy seed muffins that I remember getting from Costco in the late 90s. Apparently, Costco discontinued giant muffins a long time ago.

When I was in high school, my mom insisted I have a cell phone. However, it wasn't a smart phone. It was so she could contact me in an emergency.

One year, my parents both left to go vote. They told me they were going to the polls. At that point in life, I had only heard of the north and south poles. I was terrified they were leaving me alone while they went on a months-long expedition.

They dodge debates with their opponents. They dodge town halls with their constituents. They act like unaccountable rulers instead of public servants.

Selecting "show less of this" seems to work very slowly. Soon after joining, my feed was inundated with fetish photos of extremely fat men, but that did decrease over time. You can also select the option to hide NSFW content. (And report unlabeled NSFW)

Does anyone else find it off-putting that campaigns treat the election like an auction: whichever candidate raises more money wins? There might be truth to it, but I still find it off-putting.

It's terrifying sometimes, seeing *how much* power is flowing. My Bolt can fast charge at 150kW. Several cars can charge faster still.

If they're going to arrogate to themselves authority to interpret the law, they have to actually DO that. A ruling with no explanation is the exact opposite of interpretation. It makes the Court a black box.

Yes, put the summary on the back and the reviews on the inside flap of the dust jacket, not the other way 'round.

I trimmed a slab of fat off a tri-tip steak and turned to put the steak on the grill. I turned back around to see my cat on the counter with the slab of fat in his mouth.

Unfortunately, it, Lost, and Alias suffer from the same problem: JJ Abrams doesn't know how to end a story.

There have been instances in Germany where energy prices have gone negative due to excess solar. They'll pay people to use *more* energy. But Germany is a civilized country.

I'd expect charging rates to be cheaper during the day-- somewhere to dump excess solar.

I'm mostly concerned with the longevity of the infotainment system. In my car, it's a version of Android Automotive OS. Like all Internet-touching devices, it needs updates to defend against malware. Will GM still be releasing updates in 10 years? In 20? This question affects ICE cars too.

Texas solar buyback rates are abysmal and I still lose power when the grid is out with my no-battery solar. If I had just a battery instead, I could survive grid outages and arbitrage a time-of-use plan for cheaper power.

If snow days are "built into the schedule" but there's no early release on years with no snow days and any used snow days have to be made up, there are no snow days built into the schedule.

I tried making gyoza at home once. The recipe called for "a slice" of ginger. I have no idea how much that is. I used an amount I thought was reasonable. It was too much. They weren't inedibly spicy, but only just.

MAC addresses are per network interface, not per computer. It's perfectly normal for a computer to have multiple network interfaces. Which MAC address would then be used? Is your personalization lost if you change NICs?

"No money" is usually code for it being a lease agreement. In Texas, a lot of solar installers have gone out of business, leaving those leases in legal limbo.
