In October, in an unrelated case, her 40-year-old brother, Brandon Lee Roberts, pleaded guilty to raping two people: an underage girl and a young woman. He subsequently received a 42-year prison.

I was going to joke how it’s “all in the family” but this goes to show how the law treats female offenders different than their male counterparts. In much of the western/anglophone world, we’ve come to associate sex abuse with men engaging in sexually predatory behavior; little thought is given about women committing sexual offenses since many are (sadly) the victim of such offenses. We’ve also come to see unbalanced age dynamics (younger man-older woman) as something of a rite of passage for men. If a guy loses his virginity with an older woman, he “scored” or got “lucky.” If the roles were gender-swapped, it would rightly be considered assault but the assailant would receive a much higher sentence than the woman.

We have stop treating sexual assault as one-sided.

Wait, they have to weigh the option of having their rivers poisoned? How about just rejecting it out right?

I forget what state this was in but they allowed pork farmers to dump pig effluent into the local rivers. This killed many fish and local wildlife. Why a state’s local EPA chapter would allow such blatant environmental hazards to happen is beyond me.

It’s bound to cause some destabilization in the region. Israel is all too happy that Daddy America help attack a long time rival and the Saudis are celebrating that their planet-destroying endeavors oil interests are protected. People will say that Iranians are celebrating his death. The ayatollah was a brutal religious tyrant but that doesn’t change the fact the US and Israel didn’t do this to save the Iranian people; they did this for their own geopolitical endgames.

I’d argue that an armed uprising would have a greater effect than a smaller internet-based boycott but I’m just some random guy on some niche internet forum so… who’s to say?

Why so antitrust? Trust is a good thing! Don’t you trust us to take care of Batman? Trust us, WB is in good hands. /s

Since the replies are about people being nostalgic for corporate sandwich franchise, allow me to give a hoagie recipe so you recreate those great sandwiches:

• Flour (Wheat flour if you’re a healthy boi)

• Yeast

• Salt

• Olive or Avocado Oil

• Water

• Optional: Vital wheat gluten, Diastatic malt powder and Dough conditioner

The measurements will be up to you but if you decide to include vital wheat gluten, you’re going to have to add a bit more water. As a baseline, try to make a dough that will yield at least 4 hoagies. This recipe works best with a food processor but can be made by hand.

Mix the dry ingredients first

Once thoroughly combined, add olive or avocado oil

Add the water to make the dough

Knead the dough. If using a food processor, 3-4 spins on high. If making by hand or you prefer to knead by hand, knead on flat surface for about 8 minutes. Use the windowpane test to see if the dough has developed enough gluten. If it fails this test, keep kneading until it passes.

Once ready, proof the dough for 1 hour

After 1 hour, cut the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball shape and proof for 1 hour

After that other hour, take each piece and flatten into a square-ish shape. From here, you two options for forming the hoagie. Option 1: fold one side to the center, fold the other side so it meets the edge of the first fold and seal the edges. Option 2: Roll into a blunt (heh!) shape sealing the edges as you go.

Proof each piece for 1 hour. This should be our last proof.

Once that’s done, preheat the oven to 425°F 218°C. While the oven is heating up, take a either a sharp knife or a bread lame and make an incision down the middle of the bread. Optionally, while the oven is heating up place either a cast iron pan or brownie pan on the bottom (heh!) rack. When baking the hoagies you can add some ice to pan to create steam.

When the oven is ready, place the hoagies-to-be into the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Once done, take them out of the oven, let them cool and enjoy!

As for “topping your sub”? Well, I have some suggestions (besides the obvious). Avoid prepackage meats if you can. Go to either a butcher or the deli section and ask for fresh slices of meats. Try to also get the freshest vegetables either form the produce section or growing it yourself if you’re into that. Condiments don’t need that much diligence so add whatever you like.

Napalm Death though the current line-up has been the same since their third album with sad exemption of Jesse Pintado who passed away in 2006.

Let me first congratulate the devs on this milestone. Not many niche projects with small appeal last this long but this is impressive. Now, if they can get this working on Garmin and Polar watches the ball will really start rolling.
