I think you can use semicolons that way, but only to eliminate confusion when the items in the list contain commas. Eg: Today I ate sausage, eggs, and hasbrowns for breakfast; a sandwich and soup for lunch; and alfredo with chicken, asparagus, and grape tomatoes for dinner. Dammit. now i'm hungry...

No, but i absolutely want you to remind me.

Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States "Unitied Mexican Stateans"? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it's silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas "American" anyway; they are two different continents! "North American" or "South American" would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

He wasn't even done giving the deposition that he literally volunteered to give...

And signed into law by then-governor Reagan, no less!

Huh. "Elected twice", not "served two terms"... So, even if the insurrectionist ban doesn't pan out, Trump still has to concede that he lost the 2020 election to run again.

Pretty sure it's the beaters (assuming that's an electric hand mixer type-thing, i've never heard them referred to by that term) that made them gummy. Over mashing will break up the cell walls too much, releasing the starches and ruining the texture. Cooking chopped or whole doesn't matter as much, since the number of cells broken by chopping is negligible. And the skin is water permeable anyway.

You gotta mash by hand, that's all.

But this proposed law does not ban abortion 15 days after ovulation — it bans abortion at 15 days gestation, counted from the first day of a woman’s last menstrual cycle… which means it would ban abortion before some woman have even had conceived.

A bunch of people in here without something solid two feet to the left of them seem to be assuming that there is a perfect them-shaped vaccuum that they will be teleported into. That's not the case. There is air there, and you'll be just as dead as the guy sitting next to the family refrigerator.

Unless you are an astronaut currently in space, the only correct answer is "dying of multiple simultaneous embolisms, with or without widespread traumatic amputations, and 'gross dismemberment' (SFW, only text) from instantaneous pressure changes inside the body."

It's like saying "no offense" after saying something totally offensive!
