Maxen said he no longer felt comfortable hiding his sexuality or his boyfriend of two years.
“You have other coaches who have significant others, and they’re talking about their significant others,” Maxen said. “And I felt guilty that I couldn’t do the same thing, that I was letting myself down.”
This is what happens when the state is controlled by people who are at least center-left. I mean I wish there was a real left in this country, but my god, this is better than what any Republican governor would do.
If you have a metal double-walled mug, chances are that there is lead in it. I think I recall a small amount of it being used for sealant which is then usually covered up with another layer of metal that effectively hides the lead.
I own two of them. They’ve been dropped many times. There are a few chips of paint off the bottom but none exposing the center plug. Lead isn’t radioactive. It’s perfectly safe as long as you don’t ingest it. I’m not happy there’s lead in the cups. But they’re still usable.
It’s a whole systemic breakdown. The maker knew of the potential for lead - ordered them without lead from the manufacturer, and had them tested by two independent labs. Christ sake what the hell else should they do? By the way before choosing a manufacturer in China this guy tried to find one in the US. Guess what? We don’t make double wall stainless in the US.
Unemployment rate is still at historic lows. If you are “forced” to take a grocery store job passing out samples then you have no marketable skills. Don’t blame ChatGPT on this.
I hate the world we are living in. Nearly every single kitchen tool is rebranded Chinese garbage and I feel like it’s not safe.
I just want a damn rubber spatula set, measuring cups, and measuring spoons, and my only options are the same product with 30 different word vomit Chinese branding on them.
Why is it impossible to find quality stuff these days? My parents have kitchen tools from 1703 and that shit is indestructible, but I try to stir a pot of water and my tools all snap, crackle, and pop.
Older isn’t always better. Pewter for instance was used in the kitchen and often contained lead.
I’ve been pretty happy with my GIR spatulas.
For measuring cups and spoons, any stainless should be safe and durable. This lead was found in the seal disc under the paint which only pertains to double wall stainless. If you want dance USA made set look at All-Clad.
When it comes to lead, older shit is absolutely not safer. We used that shit to carry our drinking water via lead pipes for thousands of years despite knowing that lead causes health problems.
You could put a rock or something in there and use compressed fluid to propel the projectile at the dangerous animal. Maybe look into inexpensive gas canisters or chemicals that expand rapidly when struck and prepare individual containers with the rocks so you can swap them out quickly after use. Add on some small protrusions at the ends to help with getting the pipe lined up with the thing you want to hit too.
I think this idea could really catch on, will have to see whether there’s anything like that on the market already.
Are they ancient jewish artifacts or are they ancient palestinian artifacts? Given Israel has only been there since the end of ww2 I find it hard to believe they’re “israeli” artificats and feel like they’re probably old jewish ones being conflated.
