This is an American problem, but I discovered Amish butter a while back and haven’t looked back.
It has a slightly higher fat content closer to European butter (85% vs 80% for the regular store stuff), so everything you make tastes better. Eggs, cookies, steak, potatoes- it improves them all. I can get it fairly easy from a local co-op and it’s the same price as regular butter, but that depends on where you are in the country.
Well I live in Philadelphia, and just in the decade I’ve been here, I’ve seen some shit.
The unsolved Hitchbot murder, and then a local radio station’s attempt to repair our good name before the Pope arrived.
The dumpster pools in Kensington.
When the Eagles won the Super Bowl and chaos ensued. I can’t find any source on this in particular, but my gf and I agree we heard on the police scanners that a giraffe had been freed from the zoo and was running down Girard.
Drumline Elmo, who has become as big a celebrity in the city as Gritty.
Gritty, who is a national hero in our eyes.
All of which doesn’t even factor in the everyday life crazy. This place is wild, and I’m all for it.
I felt myself getting a brain tumor while reading that, I’ll have to come back to it later
I take out my neighbors’ garbage cans. It’s a collective home with a unique living situation and nobody really seems in charge of the house itself, including taking the trash to the curb. Since I gotta take mine anyway and they’re all in a shared alley, might as well do something nice for people who might need a hand.
That, and I’m trying to keep bugs and rodents at bay. So it’s not entirely selfless…

Ditto. Respect for anyone who not only knows two languages well enough to explain one in the other, but is willing to share that knowledge.
Essex is to the UK what New Jersey is to the US.
off topic but that’s probably the best line in all 8 movies
bold of you to assume we were properly educated about the real world at any time in our American upbringings
I’m begging the question here but it’s an important point that the article is trying (not very well) to make…
Why does healthcare in the US cost 50% more than Europe, on average per person?
We take the same drugs, right? We have the same surgeries with the same equipment?
And that’s the cost we paid this year, without even providing coverage for the whole population.
one reason the costs are lower in Europe is bc govts over there put strict limits on how much providers can charge for services and prescriptions, which is something the US refuses to do. Healthcare costs in the US are made up by pharma companies depending on how much they think they can get away with.
if liking blue cheese is gay then call me fabulous, idgaf. y’all can fight over your basic-ass ranch when the wings come out.
I just changed mine to porqueFi, I thought it was clever…
Also not insurmountable. My mom used to drag us to the 5:30 (pm) mass growing up, I’m sure there are other churches that do something similar.
There’s probably even a Zoom service for that so you can worship whenever you want. Maybe find a church in Hawaii that has a livestream?
this is some useful info to break out at any party where I’d rather not be re-invited.
I’d say Delaware.
They were the first state to sign the Constitution (barely, Pennsylvania was only a week later) and they’ve been kinda coasting on that ever since. The state only has about a million people total, whereas Philadelphia right next door has 1.5m just in the city proper. I-95, one of the busiest highways in America, cuts across the top and you can go across the state that way in 1/2 an hour. We usually have to remind ourselves that Wilmington exists when we think of the Northeast Corridor.
And yet, due to a ton of unique state laws to make DE business friendly, this tiny-ass mostly-forgotten state is the corporate home of over 1.4 million corporations, including 2/3 of Fortune 500 companies. And the state has no sales tax, so most people only go there to buy booze and TVs.
well now you have to share this picture and keep it going
This stuff? Comes in 1 lb or 2 lbs logs? Maybe a different brand or packaging?
Idk what you call it but I’ve seen it at Acme now.
