![]() Most refreshing, the FT does not lose itself in the mire of myopic American culture wars, which very rarely breach the surface of material politics and/or economics. ICYMI: A NYT article about Twitter got lot of pushback from journalistsĬompared to the Times, the reporting is usually more in-depth the reporters generally have more expertise the coverage is more comprehensive both geographically and substantively even the op-eds are better (likely because they are far fewer, and they’re not used to pad the paper with “content”-confessionals, puff pieces, listicles-rather than reporting). It covers the world as it is-a global battle not of ideas or values, but of economic and political interests. The answer is simple: by literally any measure, the Financial Times is just a better paper. This makes me something of a curiosity among my colleagues at traditional media institutions-staffed largely by liberals-so I often find myself explaining my preference for the pink paper of liberal capitalism over the Gray Lady of cultural liberalism. I’m a writer, though my biggest audience comes from the listenership of Chapo Trap House, a popular leftist comedy podcast. I take care to read the kidding-not-kidding op-eds from wealthy people demanding that children be banned from restaurants and art museums.Īs a “big S” Socialist, my reading habits often surprise liberals. If it’s the weekend edition, I even read most of House & Home, whose editors seem to have an incredibly generous definition of “real estate,” making room for topics like homelessness and wildlife conservation. I drink my coffee and proceed to read the entirety of the Financial Times, excluding the particularly dense bits of the Companies & Markets section. I then walk back to my apartment, look at the front page of the New York Times for approximately five to eight seconds, and throw the whole thing in the garbage with contempt. I feed them, make coffee, and walk barefoot and unwashed (mug in hand) through my apartment building’s common hallway to the front door, where I pick up my New York Times and my Financial Times. ![]() "I would buy others like it, because I think it’s a beautiful piece of clothing.Every morning that I’m not hungover, I wake up around 8am, because that is when my two cats start howling for breakfast. ![]() "I would, in fact, wear that dress again," she says.

"There is no problem, as long as there is no malice or deliberate maligning. “Culture has no borders," wrote one user. Some people took to Weibo, a China-based blogging platform, to write that Daum looked beautiful. “To Chinese, it’s not sacred and it’s not that meaningful,” said Hung Huang, a Beijing-based writer and fashion blogger, in an interview with The New York Times. The South China Morning Post reports on how the high schooler is receiving outpouring of support there. The story of the Chinese prom dress worn by that angered a mob of American online activists has reached China. "I learned that there’s always people who are going to hate and I can’t control that." "At first, I felt bullied, but my mom helped toughen me up, and I began to realize how many people there were who were supporting me in my decision and encouraging me," Daum says. The style then began to merge with Western culture over the decades it became shorter, featuring slits and tapered waists, evolving into the tight-fitting style that's well-known today. ![]() The qipao, in an early form, was baggy and worn predominantly by upper-class women during the Qing dynasty, which ruled China for more than 250 years until 1912, according to The New York Times. Many users came out in support of Daum, while others quickly denounced her dress as cultural appropriation. "I, in no way, was trying to be racist or show cultural appropriation. "I definitely was not expecting it," she said. On prom night, Daum says she received compliments from strangers, waiters at the restaurant she and her friends went to, and teachers, so she was sad and confused when she learned people were offended by her outfit choice. ![]() My culture is NOT your goddamn prom dress. ![]() ![]() A lot of red sauces made by Italians will actually have the meatballs or sausage cooking in the sauce simultaneously, so substituting some or all the water for meat (your choice, but I prefer beef) stock for more authentic flavor is desirable to some. Red sauce is about what you like, experiment to find what tastes the way you want it. When I'm in a lazy mood and want sauce and have most of the ingredients, just not my normal contadina tomato puree and crushed tomatoes, I usually do it this way. I never serve this to anyone other than family though, it's too hard to get the acidity flavor out if you make a batch bigger than 3 - 4 servings.įrom your description, the "thing missing" that jumped out at me was salt.Īlso, spices and herbs help give a better, more familiar taste. I've made basic sauce from tomato paste, since it's easy to keep and store - and once I have the can open, I would rather use it than wait for it to go bad while I open a separate tomato sauce. Salt for me is usually the catalytic that makes it go from watery paste to sauce-flavored, for me - and it takes a bit before the result stops tasting watery. Usually, I'm making just a little bit at a time, maybe a half a cup or so (for tortilla pizzas or the like). We encourage all our interns to submit RFEs, (request for enhancements), and bugs to our developers.I usually mix about equal parts paste and water, add a half teaspoon or so of salt, and some dried herbs, whatever I have on hand (italian mix, garlic or onion powder, basil, whatever).

![]() However, we didn’t cook food at the upper limit. ➡ Temperature range: The Weber Smokey Mountain gets to temperatures between 100 to 300 degrees F. Excess steam affects the smoker’s ability to perfectly cook meat on the top grates. We’d say the Weber Smokey Mountain performed above average in this respect. ➡ Indirect cooking: This test measures how well the smoker slow-cooks food when your meat is on the top cooking grate. We’d say the Weber Smokey Mountain cooks food evenly at high and low temperatures. ➡ Evenness performance: This test looks at how well the smoker cooks a meat slab at its highest and lowest setting when charcoal pieces are spread evenly. Let’s look at how its cooking results when we tested it. ![]() In a nutshell, the Weber Smokey Mountain cooks well and fits tight corners. But if you’re 4 to 6-feet tall, you should have no problems using the smoker. Hence, if you’re really tall, bending to cooking might be stressful. Our only major concern with the unit is that the Weber Smokey Mountain is a vertical smoker rooted to the ground. It’s a good thing the smoker comes with a cover for the entire unit. If you’re not careful, it could gather to the top and spill out. However, we wouldn’t say the same about keeping water in the pan. ![]() Heat retention in this unit is pretty great. And like other water smokers, the WSM allows easy you to add more flavor to meat by dropping your favorite liquid in the water pan. It’s two-layer set up is a great use of space. While gathering comments for our Weber Smokey Mountain review, we found that pitmasters use this smoker to win cooking competitions. Of course, its fuel door also caught our attention, but not as much as the smoker’s compact design. The smoker’s shape is hard to miss largely because it is different from that of conventional smokers. Our first impressions of the Weber Smokey Mountain was that it would come in handy for low and slow backyard cooking. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maximum file security Protect your recordings with up to triple encryptionĮspecially in the legal, financial and insurance sector, safeguarding confidential client information is paramount. ![]() Add flexibility by connecting a Bluetooth headset or speakers.

In January 1972, Merhige ruled that students in Henrico and Chesterfield counties in Virginia would have to be bused to the Richmond city schools in order to decrease the high percentage of black students in Richmond's schools. Black families moved into white urban neighborhoods in Richmond throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and by the 1970s white flight to suburbs in neighboring counties had left the Richmond city schools predominately black. Early in his long judicial career, Merhige ordered dozens of Virginia's public school systems to desegregate, and for a time was considered the most hated man in Richmond-under 24-hour protection by the United States Marshals Service and with weekly protests at his home, his mother-in-law's cottage on his property was burned to the ground, and his dog tied up and shot dead.

The statement about refractors and SC tubes is a loaded one. In answer, what follows is my opinion, based on my background, experience and viewpoint: I believe I read somewhere, that refractors are excellent for planets and SC-tubes are better for deep space? Is that true? What is your reason to prefer a refractor over a SC-tube? Now the source of the question is from Duncan Dovovan here: Most of my experience has been with reflectors (6, 8 and 10-inch Newtonian) and Schmidt-Cassegrains (8 and 11-inch). Basically we are talking about reflectors (telescopes that employ mirrors), obstructed with secondary mirrors in the light path.Īnyway, here’s my background: I own only 1 refractor (an old Dolland achromat made between ~17). Reflectors, both Newtonian and compound, like Schmidt-Cassegrain, Maksutov, classical Cassegrain, etc.Refractors whose main image-forming element is a lens and.It might be useful to limit ourselves to discussing the merits of two types of telescopes: If this thread should ever come to have many dozens of replies, I would expect that it has outlived its usefulness and has only become a vehicle for fruitless and perhaps unending debate. ![]() I suggest that participants make every effort to avoid inflammatory statements that may offend others. So I hope we can do this in a way that is helpful rather than disturbing. Also it matters if we are photographing a wide view or narrow view (like planets).Įventually this question was going to come up. It’s also worth noting there may be differences in how we answer the question, depending upon whether we are viewing or photographing our subject. Either design has its place in astro-imaging – the two designs are complementary and not necessarily in competition. My hope is that we can bring out the relevant points of comparison to help in choosing a telescope for astrophotography. It is not my intention that this thread would have any such effect. Many times these debates only serve to fan the flames of the opposing camps. Who dares to ask that question? Why there have been many spirited debates on the subject, which have discussed every detail and nuance of the question. ![]() |
