your link and comments are about WW II. Versailles was the treaty that ended WW I. > Germany was in no position to keep fighting. No one was in 1918 and everyone was exhausted, but "defending the homeland" is a more powerful mo

> They took the lessons from Versailles what lessons? The Allies didn't occupy Germany at all. Germany would have resumed the war if that was what the Versailles conference came up with, and the Allies had no stomach for more war.

I actually asked my opthalmologist if he could make my vision better than 20/20. He said no, but maybe with contacts. For baseball hitting, that would be a colossal advantage.

Why do you say he's "center-right" on environment? I'm not in Minnesota so I don't know what issues he's dealt with.

OK, I think we have it, finally: you think people are entitled to live on the street. Good to know. "There may be a path forward" -- weasel words.

Nonetheless, no city is responsible for providing pleasant housing for everyone who comes there. The law on that is now quite clear.

I've heard of them. I'd hate to have to explain that to my insurance inspector after a house fire, though.

Good question. I just wipe them with paper towels and use immediately. But longer might indeed be better. I can tell you they come out crispy and not soggy my way.

My air fryer makes decent fries, using only olive oil as a fat. It did take some practice to get it right. Are they as good as deep-fat fried? No, but they're crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. OK, you all want to hear this

Great article. If you ask a real chef, "What do home chefs do wrong the most?" They will often say, "Not enough butter, not enough salt."
