LaTeX (/ˈlɑːtɛk/ ⓘ LAH-tek or /ˈleɪtɛk/ LAY-tek,[2] often stylized as LaTeX) is a software system for typesetting documents

Note the pronunciation is distinct from /ˈleɪˌtɛks/ the material.

But, sure everyone has to make that joke at least once.

I could see that if beef is really expensive and pizza doesn't include any beef "by default".

In the package, there will be a large square of herb-scented paper. This is the entire code for VüDü. Fold this paper into an origami shape resembling the animal you're installing VüDü on (see also Appendix II). There are folding directions for common animals in the box. Make a hollow inside your paper badger and add a little more blood and hair from your animal.

Don't lose the paper; replacements are expensive. There are recipes for homemade paper on the Web, but getting all the information correctly transcribed is a huge task, as this must be handwritten; furthermore, the requirements of herb collecting, drying, and curing are formidable.

Some man pages are more suitable than others.

With the power imbalance between the two it feels like a situation where consent is impossible.

It took years for Lewinsky to understand this herself. So, please be kind to people that need instruction on the power dynamics of consent and provide that instruction, if you have the spoons.

Bill is almost definitely going down if the epstein stuff ever gets out

I've yet to find a person on social media that sees that as a problem.

I hope whatever happens it's more restorative and rehabilitative and less retributive or punitive.

I doubt she's in need of commissions, but Charlie Jane Anders could write the hell out of that premise.

I think more restrictions on the protag. does make for a "better" story, often.

However, the curse-as-social-gendered-bonds analogy fits much better if they are excluded from both spheres. (From what I've heard; I don't have any experience as nonbinary.)

I thought one of the twins in the comics was male ...

Yes, Fray's brother was male, and split the Slayer ability suite with her.

I can do Lasagna or Salmon Patties (the secret is dill). I'll also pressure cook chicken, but that turns really dry if you have any leftovers. I can also do a good pot of beans, but I usually make a bad pot of beans for myself to honor my low-sodium goals and be lazy.

I used to make a good carrot cake w/ butter cream icing, but I haven't tried that in nearly 15 years.
