I don't think that's correct. See the section in the article "Enumerating Employee Emails" which finishes "The jdoe@subaru.com (redacted) email was valid! We went back to the reset password endpoint and hit send."
Great! My wife was reading me ticket prices for an event on Ticketmaster yesterday, I kept telling her she needs to add them to the cart and start checkout to know the real price. She did just that and to my surprise the price didn't change at all!
Food-safe wood conditioner (or just beeswax, or coconut oil, etc.) is basically free, and you should be taking care of everything wooden in the kitchen on a semi-regular basis. If your wooden cookware is degrading, I'd be more worried about the state of your wooden cutting boards.
If your cooking utensils are gouging or pulling up 'seasoning', it's not 'seasoning'. Seasoning is a micrometer-thin layer of polymerized oil. What you're describing is carbon build-up from a poorly cleaned pan.
At least once a week I give my vintage cast iron a good scrub with Dawn powerwash and chainmail, dry on the stovetop, apply a layer of Crisco, and then wipe it all off as if I put it on by mistake.
Tangential, but anyone interested in literature should read "The Sagas of the Icelanders" if they have not already. The early Norse and Icelandic sagas are a treasure trove of great stories. I think about them nearly every day and it's fun to recognize similar plot points in modern novels.
Technically everyone in Lord of the Rings sounds like a Norse Saga character and this was done intentionally by Tolkien, who read the sagas extensively.
Any good modern English translations of the Sagas that you would recommend? On a related note Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology is a great introduction to that topic.
The gold standard of Icelanders Sagas is: https://sagas.is/vara.php (love for the little old website). It's complete, as it contains all the sagas and tales.
There are more sagas, though. Just not of the Icelanders.
For example the saga of the Volsungs.
If you are interested in general norse mythology then yes, Gaiman's book is really nice. The Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda are primary sources and not a difficult read.
Everything I mentioned (except Gaiman's) is published by Penguin and is a good translation.
Gaiman's Norse Mythology is quite readable, though it is VERY inaccurate. It's better read as an "inspired by Norse Mythology" book. Basically, it's fan fiction.
Seriously, why is it so hard to find a protein powder that doesn't include Stevia (or its distilled, chemical name). I don't care about my protein powder being sweet, but if it's gonna be sweet, give me some raw sugar. Stevia is bitter and ruins the whole shake.
Peak bagging is a very common term in the outdoor sports world. This complaint is like a non-tech person reading a Wired article that mentions JSON and complaining that there's no explainer.
Do you have any source for your disagreement. Last time I checked the phrasing as it applies to a game bag goes quite far back which would hint at its usage in later examples that you provided.
"Many figurative senses, such as the verb meaning "to kill game" (1814) and its colloquial extension to "catch, seize, steal" (1818) are from the notion of the game bag (late 15c.) into which the product of the hunt was placed. This also probably explains modern slang in the bag "assured, certain" (1922, American English). To be left holding the bag (and presumably nothing else), "cheated, swindled" is attested by 1793."

You’re both right in a way, in that you’re able to reason about the word from usage and context but it’s a separate meaning entirely, #5 below
From Oxford Dictionary of English
verb (bags, bagging, bagged) [with object]
1 put (something) in a bag: customers bagged their own groceries | we bagged up the apples | once you've raked the leaves, bag them up right away so that they don't get wet.

• succeed in securing (something): we've bagged three awards for excellence | get there early to bag a seat in the front row.

Number 5, bagsying, is subtly different. It's a claim to something, like dibs in the US.
No, both the GP and I are referring to number two, gaining something and literally or figuratively putting it in a bag. It applies equally to game and SaaS revenue and everything in between.
