The Assistant on paramount streaming. Stars Julia Garner. It has a 90+ critics rating on RT and just 25% from the general ratings. I don't know if I've seen that large of a split before. From reading a couple reviews I was prepared for it to be a "nothing happens" type of movie. As expected, Julia was a pleasure to watch for 90 minutes. The film's attention to detail was phenomenal. The cast was also excellent. Matthew Macfadyen made a very strong appearance.
The taste of momofuku's is far superior. I've also ordered a bunch of comparable chili oils from amazon. The mf product is the best I've tried. Compared in particular to lao gan ma, the ingredients tell the story.
I agree. Besides being imprecise I've already had second thoughts about the point I was trying to make. As long as the candidate will commit to "fighting fire with fire" and treat corporate media like the fucking pigs they are, I'm good.
Weird. Just out of undergrad I worked for a man who at the time was chair of the House Science Committee and chair of the subcommittee on space. He's deceased though.
Phoenix on fire:
“.. In the early 20th century, highs [in Phoenix] typically reached 110 degrees fewer than 10 days a year. Last year, it happened 70 times.
“.. Nine of the city’s 10 hottest years on record have come since 2010.”

Calling it out makes things worse, draws attention to a possibly irritant post, and prolongs the agony of everyone. That's why the 'report' option exists. Report and move on, and avoid stupid fights.
TPG has a detailed discussion comparing Preferred to Reserve https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/what-chase-sapphire-card-is-best-experts-debate
As I read it, if you'd spend a lot on the Chase travel site, or if you value the Chase airport lounges and live in or travel to one of the few cities where they're located, Reserve could be the card for you.
The mechanics, during practice with no rush and no possibility of being hit, say everything needed to know about Reed. Holy shit, as a passer, he absolutely sucks.
Their OL has also been getting some hype, along with their RBs. I'm not really familiar with their personnel and from what I recall last year they had zero depth and began sucking as soon as the injuries hit. So, is there actually a decent case to be made for their OL and RB depth?
