They also get more bitter the longer they're cooked. Even with the new variety, I suspect boiling Brussels sprouts might be off the table. Higher temps, or raw (shredded and put in a salad) may get you results you actually like.

Roasting at 230C (450F) for up to about 20 minutes should be good. You may be able to go as high as 260C (500F). If they look slightly burnt when they come out, that's good. The bitter flavors that develop from burning are related to sugars, so brussel sprouts are largely immune.

I didn't have brussel sprouts I liked until the 2010s, but now they're one of my favorites.

There are good sauces you can make from canned tomatoes in 20 minutes (depending on your prep speed).

My go tos are Putanesca & Vodka sauce, but there's a lot more you can do. Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe and then a big list of variants, most of which can be done in 20 minutes.

I don't know if the same is true in other regions, but of the 4 shows I bought tickets to in the past 2 years, the most expensive were $56 after tax.

Ticketmaster is awful, but I've still been able to find at least some of the shows I want to see at reasonable prices.

Granted these haven't been huge acts, but big enough that I could mention them to certain friends and be reasonably sure they'd know what I was talking about even if we'd never spoken about the band before.

Hot take means something else here. In common usage usually only the first half applies, that is, "piece of deliberately provocative commentary"

It's a motorized wheelchair that takes up twice the space and is way more expensive to build.

That's my understanding of the procedure as well. The other method requires more prep but is quite easy.

If they catch it early they can measure how fast each leg is growing at 6 month intervals (and other measurements). Then they can go in and tell the longer leg to stop.

That procedure can be close to painless. A month with a soft cast and crutches, another month with just crutches, and a third month with no physical activity.

I'd be very surprised if it was to become taller. I'd have to watch the clip again, but I only recall seeing the device stretching his pants on one leg.

I know they'll do it to fix leg length discrepancies above a certain threshold, especially if the other procedure isn't viable. I don't know if there's other medical reasons to consider it.

To follow the thread of tangentially related concepts:

The Ilizarov apparatus (caution NSFL). The leg is intentionally broken, then a terrifying cage encourages it to heal in a different size or shape.

I'm not sure how much it's used now, but I was presented with it as patient as a potential option about 20 years ago. It was kind of a "please don't pick this one it's clearly worse" choice. Thankfully they'd done about a decade of prep work to enable me to pick the less extreme option.

All things which I don't know how to spell are smarter than humans.

Proboscis monkeys are divine beings.

Or worse: it's in telephone mode now, so obviously you only want the sound from the "call" because there's no other reasons the microphone could be on.
