I’d like to have the overhead hooks for pots and pans too.  My biggest pet peeve with our kitchen is the cabinet space for cups and glasses.  My wife and daughter are obsessed with Yetis and thermoses  and they take up way too much space and don’t stack well.

In fact, we now have more items  to drink from than cabinet space for those items.  It drives me crazy.  I’ve actually thrown out some cups but she just keeps bringing them in.  I threw out one glass not long ago thinking she wouldn’t notice. She eventually did and I caught hell.

I bet we have 25 coffee cups and no one in our house drinks coffee.

We have FAR too much glassware as well. 

I just counted and there are 14 Rae Dunn coffee mugs with various sayings on them. And another half-dozen coffee cups. That's after I convinced her to get rid of a BUNCH of coffee cups to make room for her Rae Dunn addiction.

Moving helps a lot of this, but is a major pain of course.

"We" accumulate an amazing amount of stuff in a few decades, most of it really stuff we never use or see or even remember we have.

And when we vacation somewhere, "we" like to buy some knickknack to put in a box somewhere forgotten.

SWMBO says "no need" for an induction burner...

...so I might wait a few weeks to buy it ;-)

I don't know if that is a good one or not, but if you click on it, the site gets a few pennies.

We actually bought one at Costco and returned it unused.  My idea was to use the stove that came in the unit and have this to the side.  The wife's idea was to redo the kitchen entirely.

Hmm, if it's at Costco I can just claim it was an impulse buy when I go there this week for a grocery run...

Costco only had them for a short period of time.  I have not checked that aisle though in a long time.

I think they are very good for sauces because of the very very even heating.  And of course grits are superb when cooked this way.  But they are superb anyway.

As others noted, it's probably not the meat packing environment that fosters this spread, but the residential aspects of folks who work in them.

Georgia had chicken plant outbreaks also, some quite bad.

I'd say it's both

but, yes, employees are just a part of the number infected

so, when they determine that employees make up 40-50% of all cases in the county, another 10-20% are family and friends of the employees

I toured a chicken facility once, it was a long time ago, but the workers were heavily covered with PPE.  I doubt they would spread the virus while working, perhaps they could on break or after hours, but they often live in crowded situations so they can send as much money as possible back to their families.

I didn't eat chicken for a few months after my tour.

Yeah, I have no desire to get a behind the scenes look at how animals become our food.  I’d just as soon naively consume them and not ask questions.

The wife said her cholesterol numbers were up a bit and her doc suggested she limit her intake, which often doesn't work very well.  Your body normally produces 70% of the cholesterol you need, and if you limit your diet, your body just makes more, often.  The statins are pretty effective.  She's going to try dieting, which means I'm going to try dieting.  I like shrimp and beef a lot, unfortunately.  And butter.

My numbers are fine.

I was reading an article about gun violence in Chicago, and ways to stop it.

Ways to stop it? First, let's start by not calling it "gun" violence. It's GANG violence, and if the thugs didn't have guns they would use knives, clubs, chuka sticks, whatever.

These people need to be given options for reform. If they choose to not reform, it's jail time.

Being in a GANG should be a felony in itself, because membership indicates a willingness to violently attack another human being and/or proprty.
