Semi-related: I am a devotee to the New York Times’ “Replica Edition,” an exact reproduction of the daily printed paper. On a nice big iPad pro, you’re making almost no compromises between website disarray or creating paper waste.

You answered my primary question about the article's contents - the lack of lumpy mustard coverage is unfortunate. I find I require my fancy mustards to be composed almost entirely of whole seeds, otherwise a regional ballpark mustard

The holiday bombing in Nashville provided clear evidence of what we've lost in terms of PSTN resiliency. I don't think there would have been region-wide loss of service for greater than 24 hours in say 1994.

I do tend to choose a jar sized such that there’s more wine than air, but I suspect the lid’s superior seal is the big factor. And I’m completely baffled by the downvote earned by my GP.
