    The last run of X-Men before the current run, they discovered 5 mutants working together enabled immortality through resurrection protocols.

    Your brain is backed up to the cloud and downloaded to a cloned body on death.

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Resurrection_Protocols

    "Egg produces a number of nonviable biological “eggs,” equal to the number of mutants the Five have to resurrect.

    The eggs are then injected with mutant DNA from Mister Sinister’s genetic catalogue, and then made viable thanks to Proteus’ reality-altering powers.

    Elixir biologically gives the eggs life starting a new cellular replication process and husk growth

    Tempus uses her time manipulation powers to quickly age the mutant husks.

    Hope Summers uses her powers to enhance everyone else’s abilities. Hope’s powers allow the Five to operate at both their peak and in unison.

    A telepath then copies over the mutant’s consciousness, recorded by Cerebro, from a copy made at the time of their deaths, onto the husk.

    Through this process, the Five are effectively able to make new clones of deceased mutants, restoring their bodies, their powers, and their minds as they were at the time of their deaths."

    Lots of downvotes for what is, inherently an unpopular opinion…

    But here’s the thing… Thanksgiving is largely a communal experience.

    I’m going to say “generally” but I don’t have the numbers to back it up, but GENERALLY Thanksgiving dinner has multiple contributors.

    It’s not one person over-spending to feed many, it’s many people coming together to feed EVERYONE.

    My family is, weirdly, doing a big dinner this year, not sure why? Fine, my wife and I are invited. I expect all told there will be 11, 12, 13 people? Something like that.

    I’m taking 3 loaves bread, 2 banana breads, 1 pot of cranberry sauce, and a tray of sweet potatoes covered with a layer of toasted pecans. All home made.

    Not sure what everyone else is bringing, but I have the carbs covered. Baking is super cheap, for the most part. A 5 pound bag of flour is 2,270 grams and runs $2 to $6 depending on brand.

    The bread I make needs 480g, so a 5 pound bag will get me 4 loaves with some left over. The banana bread needs 200g too.

    But, yeah, I did over-spend. I bought a special local flour which ran me $18 for five pounds.

    So each loaf is $4.50. I already made 1 to make sure it was good before inflicting it on Thanksgiving. 😉 3 to go!

    We require post titles not be editorialized. Please match the headline on the article:

    “Aficionados fret as Trump moves to make pasta great again”

    p.s. I’d add… REAL ‘aficionados’ make their own pasta at home. 😉

    All you have to do is start with a $300 Kitchen Aid mixer, and add $500 worth of pasta attachments (make sure you spend extra on the bronze ones for the best texture!) Then you can turn your $0.50 worth of flour and water into pasta!

    Do they know what they are saying here?

    “Two in three said six-figure pay is not a sign of wealth.”

    “A $100,000 income should put you firmly in the middle class, given that the median annual pay of America’s full-time workers is around $62,000.”

    “Firmly middle class” is not “wealth”. So I guess the article authors are part of that 2 in 3? 🤔

    Though to someone making $30,000 a year, $100,000+ is sure going to SEEM like wealth comparatively speaking.
