I've played World of Warcraft since the first Beta and it's been a great ride, at least up until the last expansion. The news of Microsoft's acquisition has me hopeful for great new MMORPG.

Here's my recipe, adapted from numerous others found on YouTube:

1: Cut one red onion along the grain to minimize cell damage, 2: Simmer the onion slices in water a few minutes to soften them, 3: Put the slices into a 16oz mason jar, 4: Fill the jar half with white vinegar and half with water, 5: Add a pinch or two of Diamond Crystal salt and a pinch or two of cane sugar. 6: Refrigerate overnight.

The onions turn a beautiful shade of pink as they age and they can last for weeks without going bad.

If you like PB and Pickle, then you should definitely try PB and pickled red onions. It's surprisingly good.

Capital Police opened the security line, encouraged the "protesters" inside, and were even shown having selfies taken with them. What other conclusion can you reach than that this was supported if not organized by someone with authority over the security forces sworn to protect the Capital? If true, this is Sedition.

Microsoft Windows actually provided a transactional file system called Transactional NTFS (TxF)in Windows Vista. However, due to the complexity and lack of widespread use, it has since been deprecated.

I believe the Telegram app has a peer-to-peer feature that allows communication to be routed through other devices rather than requiring communication with the Telegram servers

Just saw in the WSJ: "Microsoft has paused negotiations to buy the U.S. operations of the video-sharing app TikTok after President Trump said late Friday he opposed the deal, according to people familiar with the matter."
