Get checked for acromegaly. A tumor may be causing the low testosterone levels.

Acromegaly, I presume? It's possible to get the pituitary tumor removed to prevent that from continuing. If it's a different kind of tumor, removal may not be an option, of course!

Assuming you're in the US, try standard breakfast links, the kind with a casing. Avoid additional flavors like hot, maple, etc. The spices and texture are similar. Or if you can find an Aldi or Trader Joe's you can get some original Nürnberg bratwurst.

The highest risk is botulism which is high when you use oil and leave in the danger zone. Keeping in the fridge is fine. No need to process. The fermentation will be slowed down, too.

Hot sauce maker here. The seeds aren't themselves hot, but when blended can be bitter. The seeds are connected to the placenta (white webbing) which contains most of the capsaicin, which is why seeds are often viewed as being spicy. Remove that with the seeds if you really want to tone it down.

That was an investment, not free cash, and I doubt the investors would be happy if it went towards the judgment

So you're saying it's possible that it was a maintenance issue with the train car. In theory maintenance should have caught the brake issue before it locked up while in service.

Makes sense! Just finished a patio in fairly sandy soil (so it drains well) and put in 6 inches of paver base just to be safe, with an inch or so of sand on top.

Probably needed 4-6 inches of compacted paver base under the sand to avoid the ground movement

In Minnesota (as in some other states) there is a homestead discount for owner occupied homes with a taxable value under $413K (2023). Second homes don't get it. Unfortunately, in urban areas, a LOT of houses are above that level, so there is no property tax disadvantage for renting it out.

Yeah, as long as not dented or rusty, canned food will be safe to consume for decades. Will it taste good? Who knows.

In reality, the pizza was paid for weeks ago and will end up in the trash. Next week's, too.

Talked to a researcher who focused on burnout. His conclusion is that burnout is going to happen if you care and are passionate about what you do. It's all about how you deal with it. Congrats on not being a total cynic!

Phonetically you'd lengthen the "a" rather than the "wn", just like when singing. It's hard to lengthen the end of a diphthong.

It's orthographically emphasized, and that is rarely aligned with phonology. It probably doesn't help that something like "oo" has a completely different sound than "o", unlike, say, in Dutch. So you find other ways to emphasize without risking that the word may be understood. This probably is related to the emphasis convention in early internet conversations where "1" and "!" were combined for comedic effect.

Yes. A defendant is someone who has to defend themself against criminal charges that have been filed (ie, they have been indicted). If they flee, that may pause any potential statute of limitations, so when they are caught, the case can continue. In some jurisdictions it is possible to convict someone who refuses to appear (in absentia).

Shorter wavelengths should be fine. 10M and above are likely less affected, as they don't rely on the ionosphere. Point to point should be fine. Particularly line of sight. So a ham station on Haleakalā should get reception from most of the island and should be able to relay messages to other islands, especially to the Big Island.

Long answer: no.

It's only a short walk to Union Sq from Gramercy, so pretty easy to connect anywhere from there, too! Used to live near Union Sq and loved it.
