I just boil some water and use the steamer basket to cook them for 12 minutes then put them directly into cold icy water. Perfectly hard-boiled and easy to peel.
But you have to mute each account when trolls probably create new accounts daily just to troll people and make fake engagement between their accounts to get boosted by the algorithms.
And really bad actors are taking advantage of the removal of the block feature, which was useful to block people from easily seeing your tweets, so that it leaves one open to nonstop harassment. Or in the case of Elon, forcing people to still get surfaced his tweets even if they blocked Elon on the platform.
What was that agenda exactly? The only ones that come to mind are good, actually:
- Allowing more free speech internally and working towards providing a safe space for everyone to provide their ideas.
- Investing in under-served communities to try and build talent to hire from.

It's funny you say that, because my impression is that DEI allows companies to avoid criticism of their oppressive policies with token investments in a few diverse staff.
- Running sweatshops in SEA [1]? "NIKE, Inc. is building more equitable and inclusive practices to empower our employees and create the workforce of the future." [2]
- Repeated oil spills in Nigeria? [3][4] Shell's vision is to become "a place where everyone—from employees, to our customers, partners and suppliers—feels valued, respected and has a strong sense of belonging." [5]
- Exploiting unaccompanied, undocumented children in factories that make Cheerios? [6] General Mills is "committed to advancing our culture of inclusion, equity and belonging for our people, business and communities." [7] They are also happy to look the other way when their subcontractor Hearthside Food Solutions hires children to work in their factories, as long as they have plausible deniability.
I hope that's enough to reveal that a lot of these so-called DEI initiatives are only there to performatively assuage investors and activists, while the companies involved continue preying on the marginalized.
There should be a federal law that stops telecom companies from getting cities to give them a monopoly in exchange for service and allow cities and counties to create their own ISPs as well. Ideally there would be fiber to every home and then allow any ISPs to come in and provide service similar to DSL back in the day.
If they're single, have only W-2 income, and have no children, then maybe... Just the child tax credit for 2022 requires filing an additional schedule 8812 (which is somehow referred to in some places as schedule 8) and in order to complete schedule 8812 you have to choose the correct worksheet and fill that in, but not file it. All of that results in a single credit value which is 1 line on the form 1040.
That is horrible indeed but I guess it is unavoidably so - you can't effectively have n-level nested if-else and lookups on a paper without making it complicated. Translated into code, it should become much simpler with progressive inputs/filtering.
You could just say something like "multiply the number of dependents entered previously on form 1040 by $2000, enter value on line X" and you'd still have a child tax credit and the vast majority of people who claim it would see no difference other than taking significantly less time to figure out the amount of their child tax credit. By the time you get to the child tax credit line on form 1040 you've already written all your dependents and their social security numbers right at the beginning of form 1040.
Note that it is mostly Sour oil that is being moved off the SPR. Because that is the more useful type. So you might consider that 200-250mbbl of Sweet oil in the SPR is less-useful and counting the whole 400+mbbls is like counting apples and oranges together and saying you have X amount of fruit.
Note the gradient, rates and the fact that two thirds full is a return to the state of things in the 80s - it is conceivable that it will be empty next year. Although whether it is likely is a political question.
