@JohnBrady Thank you! With a washing machine and enough cloth diapers on hand I am sure they would not be much different from paper, especially with some disposable backups when traveling. A downside of cloth that springs to mind is increased risk of hip dysplasia with bad technique, which was a huge problem in Serbia as late as the 1990s
@bethanyh Not completely intact: they fixed “didn’t used to” to “didn’t use”. Best to completely avoid it, “used to” is a minefield only a bit less dangerous than “comprise”.

Hear, hear!
@ReaderJohn Just say No to feedback form madness. Someone with several chronic conditions seeing a few different specialties could spend all day filling them out. And that’s just for the doctors: last month we got a feedback form from a contractor Costco hired to install our new microwave (!?)
@JohnBrady Oh I remember hearing about that book when it came out but never read it. Looks like it has become even less zeitgeist-y since.
@jtr Yeah, pretty disappointing. There were some great scenes of everyday life and each story teetered on the edge of greatness but fizzled out too early. Hoping that his full-length novel The Ceremonies goes all the way, I have it on my list.
@manton Nice, thank you! Any chance you could add a two-pane view in landscape orientation (like the website does if the window is wide enough), or at least a way to swipe from one article to another without having to go back to the list?

@tibz Anyone but OKC!
@JohnBrady If you find a good recipe, do tell! I imagine it would be easy to whip up at home, though of course the pub atmosphere does add to the flavor.
What I didn’t mention in the post which you, @ReaderJohn and @joshuapsteele may appreciate, is that for the first time since we’ve been going there we stumbled upon a group of about a dozen people of all ages (~30s-70s) with a bunch of instruments, one of which was a hammered dulcimer, playing mostly traditional Irish tunes but also an occasional dulcimer solo. That boxty never tasted better.
