There weren't just girls close to their circle, but influencers, models, and pornstars, she told Business Insider. Someone, often a straight man (but not always), has an Instagram following list flooded with random, beautiful, scantily-clad women they don't even know. But dating experts told Business Insider that digging your heels in will naturally strike up questions and even red flags to potential partners. "There are absolutely guys who go overboard here," Blaine Anderson, a dating coach for men, told Business Insider. I do not expect whoever I'm with to not be attracted to other people — of course," Seposyan told Business Insider.

☆ Solving the Puzzle of Gift Giving
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Tim Donnelly | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

In 2021, I made my first word puzzle as a gift for my girlfriend for the same reasons many people did things during the pandemic: a lack of cash and an abundance of free time. We quickly ran out of games during long locked-in weekends, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I created puzzles based on our inside jokes and shared language, including one that required unwinding words themed around a “twisted” summer tea we enjoy. I still buy presents, even though I have this newfound crossword-making superpower, but there are some occasions when a puzzle is more than enough. When he kept procrastinating, she decided to try it herself and surprise him with a gift.

Tesla and TEI President Oliver Johnson did not respond to requests for comment. The specialists use sand casting in a process called rapid prototyping to help validate Tesla's designs and engineering specifications for its giant molds quickly and cheaply. According to all four sources, TEI began helping Tesla around 2017 to develop the Model Y and is considered in the industry to be one of the world's top sand casting specialists. "TEI will remain its own business entity with GM as its parent company," GM said. Reuters was unable to determine whether Tesla was one of the several companies that bid for TEI.

The Biden administration is transferring weapons to Israel. The Biden administration last week approved a $320 million arms transfer deal for Israel, according to multiple news organizations. Critics say that Biden is violating an order he signed in February tightening rules prohibiting weapons transfers to governments or regimes that violate human rights. The White House has previously insisted that its arms transfers comply with human rights rules.

I was a baking-and-pastry devotee and did not yet have the experience of working among ornery savory chefs with their own idols and heroes. Ms. Lewis was as savory a chef as I had studied at that point, but I mostly focused on her pies, cakes and breads. Back then, I regretted when savory chefs commandeered the dessert menu. This is the trademark of pastry chefs of my generation. We have been brought up in both worlds, learning the rules and then adjusting to our moment and materials, as savory chefs do.

☆ For Republicans, Plan D in the House speaker crisis could require Democrats
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Zachary B. Wolf | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Hardline Republicans axed Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the man who spent years orchestrating his rise to become House speaker, after he relied on Democrats to help pass a short-term funding bill to keep the government open last month. When McCarthy got the boot, McHenry was elevated to become the powerless temporary speaker – known as speaker pro tempore – able to keep the House in session but not to pass any legislation. The mechanism for such an arrangement could be a simple resolution giving McHenry the temporary power to move appropriations legislation. I asked her by email about why having a temporary speaker would be appealing, and she suggested it’s not a good option, but maybe the least bad option in the face of an institutional leadership crisis. In fact, Postell predicted an even more partisan atmosphere if the House speaker was to permanently become a less powerful position.

Sept 30 (Reuters) - Jorge Martin of Pramac Racing put on a masterclass to win Saturday's MotoGP sprint race at the Japanese Grand Prix after starting from pole position, piling the pressure on championship leader and reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia.

Another said the whole design process for a large metal mold would typically cost about $4 million. To overcome the obstacles, Tesla turned to firms that make test molds out of industrial sand with 3D printers. To cast subframes with hollows as part of one gigacasting, Tesla plans to place solid sand cores printed by the binder jets within the overall mold. But despite that greater flexibility achieved in both the design process and the complexity of the large frames, there was still one more major hurdle to clear. And once Tesla is happy with the prototype mold, it can then invest in a final metal one for mass production.

Inflation hangoverSharply higher prices in 2021 and 2022 marked a painful economic moment for households around the world.
