The salted butter was intended to spoil more slowly. Nowadays, refrigeration mostly deals with that problem.

Salted butter used to contain 3-4X the amount of salt that current "salted butter" does. It was also of finer quality (excess salt would disguise the poor flavor in salted butter). Nowadays, you can simply use salted butter to bake and slightly reduce the amount of added salt.

As you get older in life, seems like you tend to think more of your sins of omission, such as the efforts you didn't make to apologize, or make time for an old acquaintance whom you later find out has unexpectedly passed away. The latter happens surprisingly often in your 40s.

A&P is yet another example of how cutting prices to take share can be a treacherous strategy; if are you just cutting costs and not also passing through efficiencies (like Aldi, for example), then you are slowly bleeding yourself out. https://t.co/8G0ELVV5dP https://t.co/xaw5zce41e

We were fortunate enough to interview the great Marc Levinson on his history of A&P, once the largest retailer in the world, and 2nd only to GM in revenues. Enjoy this conversation on a once great American titan laid low by creative destruction.

Vinnie Pasquantino speaks after the game about the loss and what’s next for the #Royals https://t.co/n99uI4N46V

In the ninth, with their season on the line, the Royals saw 9 pitches. 1 was clearly a strike, 2 were borderline, and 6 were clearly out of the strike zone. The Royals swung at 8 of the 9 pitches. If this offense is going to take a step forward next year, they have to fix that.

The Yankees-Royals rivalry is back, baby. Long may it endure.

Dead sprint to first after every single ground ball…made routine grounders close plays at first constantly. Didn’t let me down one fucking bit and I know a lot of Royals fans feel the same way

That’s a bummer. Every game close. What a year. Thank you to everyone who followed along with me.

I can’t believe how many people just filed out of here. This isn’t a mid-August game. There’s one inning of playoff baseball left. Come on, people.

RT @SorenPetro: How does the Royals/Yankees, American League Division Series end?

A historic season came to an end tonight at Kauffman Stadium. From 106 losses to the ALDS in one season. Looking to 2025, the expectations change for the better. They’ll expect to good. They’ll strive to get better and have 5 months to do so. YouTube: https://t.co/J6BZbsKmvD https://t.co/ga3HCRfnnF

We will still be doing 5 episodes a week until January! Then 3 episodes until spring training. #Royals

Bobby Witt said he feels like he let a lot of people down. He didn’t let anyone down. He did the exact opposite this year. Brought back life to the baseball side of this town.

A season we had no reason to expect has come to an end. Thanks for playin’ some ball, boys. That was one hell of a ride.

Congrats, Yankees. Now counting down the days until spring training

Tomorrow, the boys and I talk about what was once an American icon, secondly only to GM in revenues at its peak, but laid low by failure to adapt to changing consumer tastes. @DevinLaSarre @yesandnotyes @Pfdshares

Insane athleticism

The relative performance of royalty / streaming companies vs the ultimate underlying assets is pretty remarkable. Since $GLD came around in Nov 2004, it has returned ~450%; $WPM closer to 1,900%. For perspective, $QQQ is around 1,360%. https://t.co/yzFG8bTzLR
