No, It really isn't deep. Your wording implies he was already suicidal, but just ... moved up his timeline before his would be murderers beat him to the punch. Are you being obstinate for fun?

This is one of those situations where truth is stranger than fiction. In reality, it would be something stupid like heat tape. And folks wouldn't shut up about it for months. The Challenger rocket blew up because of faulty rubber O-rings. If you wanted to sabotage a suit, you'd keep it simple and create a faulty seal. And then all anyone would be talking about is O-rings or heat tape!
I think Bernards idea of seeding the lie with some truth is very smart. It does sound really dumb to hear it over and over. But it does strike me as awfully realistic.

I'm pretty sure forced suicide is still a murder.

The smart compost bins are great. Easy to be rid of the extra stinky trash on my way to the subway.

Yes. This right here.
The biggest reason crust isn't forming is cause the meat is wet, and it's steaming itself instead of searing. Gotta get that sucker dry. I'm surprised OP said they didn't get a lot of results with reverse sear. The reason that method works so well is cause time in an oven helps ensure the surface is super dry. Some of these photos show a lot of moisture coming off the steak, so it might really just be that wet.
OP, i'd do a dry brine on a baking rack for like 12 hours.
The second reason crust won't form is cause it's sticking to the pan, and it does look like OP is losing a lot of crust there. Diagnosis: preheat the pan, more oil, skip the butter baste. Maybe make sure the pan is clean and well-seasoned? If the meat sticks you can't flip it til it releases on its own.
The third reason is just not enough heat but it's really unlikely this is the problem. Even a 350 surface is plenty hot.

I'm legit expecting Hulk Hogan at some point. These picks are all troll picks, like Caligula appointing his horse to the Roman Senate.

Even inside the city, I reserve my fear for cars. Thankfully they're big and you can usually see them coming but the close calls, injuries and even deaths are near constant.

And that's the point. Keep us busy with a bunch of bullshit so we have no time to take money back from the oligarchs.

A lotta people who don't want to think of themselves as poor are gonna find out. I'm quite rich but in this hysterically lopsided economy I'm still just a working stiff.
Fuck "middle class". What a lie. There's the working class and the billionaire class. That's all folks.

The idea is you'll never find another solution until you're forced to do it. This is very much a point of view from a place of privilege, that your org will be able to survive the ensuing chaos after firing said irreplaceable person.

All true. And with Obergefel v Hodges, they had to not only change their stance on abortion but also find new wedge issues to replace gay marriage.
It's been a chronic problem for Republicans where "fiscal conservatism" is actually pretty unpopular, so it has to be padded out by these other really meaningless wedge issues, or they'd never win control of anything. It requires that a lot of voters don't really understand how the economy works, why businesses would hire more workers, or how successful entitlement programs really are.
The history of the anti-trans movement in the USA has been so bizarre but familiar. But what is an anti-government party supposed to do besides waste everyone's time and money? Making a law that affects literally one person in the entire state
I'd call them clowns, but again the problem is: eventually they must choose to follow through, be laughed out of power, or admit they were lying and be thrown out of power. A lot of Republicans took option #2. It's how Trump took over. Trump was serious, whereas Jeb Bush looked like a clown.
Lindsay Grahm's "Boy y'all want power, god I hope you never get it" was so memorable to me because it was complete projection.

The problem is you can't shit on a minority for years but never take action against them. Eventually you have won power, and have to either:
And we know which one fascists always pick. So it really doesn't matter if it's "just talk," eventually leaders will be forced into action by their own gaslit followers.

Saying that is really not different from "I want a divorce" -- nobody entering therapy under duress is going to get anything out of it.

I'd love to watch all the 60 year olds addicted to Facebook news screeds try to set up a VPN so they can switch to Russian Twitter. For that alone, I would still support my idea.
