Hrm. I was one of those viewers. I didn't think it was awful, but it wasn't so strong that I'd recommend it, either.

From Steam founder Gabe Newell, 2011:
We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy," Newell said. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country three months after the U.S. release and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable.
The same can be said of movies/tv -- except Steam saw the issue before EA and everyone made their own streaming stores, whereas all the video distributors have splintered into their own services.
I'm not sure where/why Hulu failed to gain the sort of share Steam attained. It existed early on and had ... at least 3 big networks (iirc, not cbs? but abc, nbc and fox -- then nbc dropped out to just do peacock, I think). Perhaps hulu didn't pay enough for rights or perhaps Apple, Netflix and Amazon represented too many other players to make the equivalent arguments as Steam made.
I got around to finishing Interior Chinatown (hulu) and was disappointed. I don't want to spoil it for others, but I think I can safely complain that it wrapped things up in an unsatisfying manner.
I always watch 'Elsbeth' because my mother watches it.
I stumbled onto The CW's 'Good Cop/Bad Cop' last week and watched all the current episodes this week because it seems exactly like the thing my mom will enjoy: a mix somewhere between the setting and townie bonding of 'Resident Alien' (with no Alien or other-worldly aspects) and the silly sleuthing of 'Elsbeth' (without the expensive sets and celebrities).
I was looking for something new to watch, but could not stomach Suits LA.
fair enough :-)
Since you aren't vegetarian, may I recommend trying a 'Reuben' pizza (or stromboli)?
Instead of pizza sauce, use Russian dressing. Top with sauerkraut and chopped up corned beef and finish with shredded swiss cheese (use a good swiss and shred yourself for best results). You might optionally add onion before baking or dill pickles afterwards.
Yes! I LOVE veggie crumbles. I use them in spaghetti sauce, chili, tacos, enchiladas, and most everything else that calls for ground hamburger -- especially when in a sauce.
My bigger issue is how to construct a 'thing' that works with dough. Maybe something like a 'cheese steak' stromboli would work.
Well, don't leave us hanging! Which bags lasted 10 years? Where do we get them? I'm having a hard time because the only really good bags I have require a minimum purchase of 50 (these: https://enviro-tote.com/product/medium-grocery-tote-bag/).
It sounds like the donor had requirements. From The Tribune:
The University of Chicago has received a $100 million gift from an anonymous donor to support free expression, marking what may be the largest-ever single donation to support such values in higher education, the university announced Thursday.
And:
Discussions surrounding the donation have been ongoing for over a year, according to a university spokesperson.
The gift was ridiculed by advocates involved in the encampment that highlighted abuses against Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas War and torn down by the university in the spring.
“It’s truly a slap in the face,” said Yousseff Hasweh, a U of C grad who’s diploma was withheld by the university for two months, allegedly for his involvement in the protest.
Vance and the rest -- including Trump himself -- are suggesting that the attacks are because Democrats are demonizing Trump and Democrats need to tone down the vitriol, ignoring that Trump has said Democrats are destroying America and that we won't have a country left if they get in office and all the rest. At least Vance is -- after saying on TV with Dana Bash that they have confirmed reports from Springfield (in an interview about the pet eating thing) -- that he, too, ought to tone down his rhetoric, but let's see if he can stick with that for more than a day.

Yours is a perfect and concise expression of my main complaints.
