    - I'd be fine without. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:27
    - I depend so much on mine, I’d feel lost without it. -- nm - kelly Jun 24, 16:00
- I'm not sure that counts as "cooking." -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 15:05 19
  - Heat cooks, loosi. -- nm - mara Jun 24, 15:06 18
    - OK. So, IMO "cooking" changes chemical structure of the food. Microwave is, for the most part, rewarming. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 15:10 17
      - Kid, your face changes the chemical structure of food. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 16:11

- You don't have a library with free apps right now? Not that the selection would likely be what you're looking for. -- nm - Meg Jun 24, 15:17 1

Curious, since the DOJ dropped its prosecution of Flynn, does that mean double jeopardy does NOT apply and a new AG could refile charges? - TWuG Jun 24, 13:59 3
- I would think jeopardy attached when he pled guilty, so no subsequent prosecution. -- nm - JackDawson Jun 24, 15:46
- IANAL but wouldn't it depend on whether the case was dismissed with or without prejudice? -- nm - Bjarön Jun 24, 14:37 1
  - I think the dismissal that comes w or w/o prejudice is a judicial decision not a prosecutorial decision. - TWuG Jun 24, 14:56
just PastaDropped my brother... 100 lbs in 5 boxes of penne. highly recommend pasta dropping your friends and family. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 13:57 11

  - They are charging / they are about to go out and take their Airpod case with them / they're going to be busy when you show - Roger More Jun 24, 14:39 1
    - I assumed they were work colleagues and sitting or working near each other so in that circumstance I don't see why I'd say no unless I was using - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 14:49
  - I suppose due to the nature of the charging station there could be an ear gunk concern? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:12 2
    - I don't have them but don't they stick out of the top if it's open and can then safely avoid any possible gunk on -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 24, 14:15 1
