What about butter balances the sodium? Can I use any kind of fat or does it have to be butter? Does salted butter not balance the sodium?</p>HangTue, 07 May 2024 07:25:20 -0000http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2017/10/where-do-you-learn-best-my-personal.html#comment-3555477477<p>Thats kind of how conferences are meant to go as you mature in your field. At the start, you don't know anybody so the talks are an accessible way into the community. The more you build your tribe, the less value the talks become and the more it serves as merely a forcing function to get everyone into the same city and reconnect. For large enough conferences, over time, there emerge impromptu shadow conferences where participants don't even buy tickets for the main conference but still go to the city anyway just for the social connection.</p>HangSat, 07 Oct 2017 10:58:01 -0000http://www.avclub.com/articles/digital-estate-planningthe-first-chang-dynastyintr,73676/#comment-3483494249<p>I have the discussion thread in a cached tab so I can still comment.

Mandy Moore's new husband (who is unnamed) has a conversation with Boone but the entire conversation is about Mandy Moore. An unnamed guy approaches David on the street and asks if he's OK but the conversation centers on Jessica. AFAICT, there aren't any other instances of two male characters talking to each other.</p><p>It's refreshing to see a movie that takes the effort to pack a lot of even the smaller roles with women rather than assuming default male. The playwright she looks up to is a woman, the kid she is mentoring is a woman, the parent taking care of the child is the mother, the celebration she has to go back home to is a baby shower.</p><p>I really appreciated the choice and the perspective.</p>HangSun, 30 Jul 2017 18:01:26 -0000http://www.avclub.com/article/nathan-you-returns-september-and-gets-bonus-check--258569#comment-3436165219<p>*horsies</p>HangWed, 26 Jul 2017 06:36:23 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/friends-college-introduces-even-more-friends-colle-258307#comment-3427871022<p>And does anyone slap another person's child?</p>HangThu, 20 Jul 2017 23:58:49 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/friends-college-introduces-even-more-friends-colle-258307#comment-3427870727<p>I think that was Dean Pelton.</p>HangThu, 20 Jul 2017 23:58:29 -0000http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/desperate-round-ivf-makes-best-friends-college-epi-258156#comment-3423742731<p>The entire IVF sequence reminds me of the much better sequence on Playing House (which is being criminally under reviewed, especially on the AV Club) which goes through the nitty gritty process of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Being a minority isn't all about being loudly different all the time.
