Hmm. So I just googled “latkes” and got an answer, and then googled “are latkes good” but did not get back any applicable results.
Think quality hash browns in patty form. They are otherwise known as potato pancakes. Not really a fan of eating them with apple sauce but sour cream? Yes please!
I eat mine with ketchup.
I wouldn't put apple sauce on top of meat for the same reason I wouldn't put ice cream on meat.
It's just apple pie without the crust.
I think you are eating the wrong kind of apple pies…
Pork goes really well with roasted apples or pears, or applesauce. It just... Does.
And for dessert, apple pie with cheddar cheese slices on top!

Or REALLY good apple sauce
A little cinnamon sprinkled on top can make good applesauce great.
If you peel back the rubber base of most staplers you'll find a compartment for spare staples.
You can also put apple sauce in that compartment if you want.

Does that make it a staple food?
Does that make it a staple food?
Only if the apples are bunched and double sided.

Lock the thread. Mao wins.
I have way too many Sharpies.. like... way way too many.. i don't know why, I know I'm a Sharpie snob, but I've got 2 storage bins filled with them.
In the UK, as I’m sure in most countries, we have crossing points that are traffic light controlled. You press the button and wait for the lights to change. When it’s safe to cross a sound repeats to tell you it’s safe to proceed.
I was at a crossing with a friend and she asked me what I though a blind person would do if the sound was broken or if they couldn’t hear it. I admitted I didn’t know. She felt under the spot where you press the button and told me there was a cone at one end and when it’s safe to cross the cone spins (I felt for it and found it.) Blind people can use it as a second way to be alerted to the lights changing.
I never knew that and think it’s wonderfully thorough design.

And of course in the US, we have intersections where you press a button to get a walk sign, but that's just a placebo, the walk/don't walk sign is controlled separately from pressing the button and waiting.

Have you heard the one about the "close door" buttons in elevators?

In my experience, crosswalks in cities will change automatically with the light regardless of whether somebody pushed a button. In the suburbs, the walk sign will only come on if somebody has pushed the button. In rural areas, what's a crosswalk?
When I lived in Minneapolis, the area I lived in had a lot of visually impaired pedestrians because there was a place nearby that taught people how to use a walking stick. Presumably because of this, most of the intersections near me would make a beeping sound while it was safe to walk but there weren't widespread around the city (they may be more common now, it's been a few years).

That is basically the problem in Boston. Some intersections require pushing the button and some intersections ignore the button and change on their own cycle. Since there is no good way to know which is which, the pedestrian is stuck pressing away and wondering if it matters.
It’s literally a Skinner box with no rewards for pumping the button.
Many parts of Australia are at capacity for putting energy in to the power grid. There are all these renewable energy projects due to come online and there's little to no transmission (i.e. power line) capacity to add them, because the regional power lines where the wind, solar farms are, were built for central coal power plants and not a bunch of renewables. Makes sense.

I am now looking forward to seeing an all electric car version of Mad Max!
War Teslas!
One of these days I will remember that, after importing a scan in Clip Studio Paint, I need to rasterize the layer before I can do anything to it.

West Texas has the exact same problem. The timeline to build a wind farm is much shorter than the timeline to build new / upgrade the transmission lines.
Now if the Texas grid were actually connected to the rest of the US then maybe it would be easier to just build west and cross a state line instead of trying to get back into central Texas. (Speculation on my part)
Shaving with a new disposable razor is unbelievably easier compared to one you’ve been using for many months. Getting the most out of disposable razors is a slippery slope!

Safety razors are great, a ton less waste, and way cheaper. Cost per blade is something like $0.25 (current price on my blade of choice) which is way better than disposable / multiblade razors. That makes changing blades more often a better proposition. I definitely am much quicker to abandon a razor that's not as sharp now. You just have to invest in a handle up front and put a bit more effort into the shave.
I discovered some razors with a moisturising strip that when one inevitably accidentally leaves them face down on the shower tile, then get hard glued to the tile by the strip. Fun times.

^ This right here. Here's what I use:
Merkur Long Handled Safety Razor - $28.88
100 Feather Razor Blades - $33.99Change your blade once per week, or every other week, and save a ton of cash and waste vs disposables!
How long would it be before my face isn't a bloody mess?
Your face won't be a bloody mess as long as you go slow and careful until you're used to it. Give it a week, and then you can go at a slightly more normal pace if you feel comfortable.
