Space heater in the US refers to something different.

Home heating may be done using steam in radiators. As far as I’m aware this is most common in older buildings or in the north. New York has district heating that seems to resemble district heating found in parts of Europe.

A space heater in the US is a resistive electrical heater, that isn’t usually connected to the main heating system for the home. Typically these are small portable units, and they’re used to heat just the room they’re put in. Your thermostat might control several rooms, but you might not intend to be in those, and night not want to pay to heat all of them. Or it’s unusually cold, so you use a space heater and just stay in that room.

Trans-folk are the only people I try to avoid using they to describe. I know it can cause discomfort, and potentially lead to others getting confused about pronouns if anyone listening doesn’t know my grammatical quirks.

For everyone else I may use they for a variety of reasons. One of the most common: if a person’s gender hasn’t had clues about it in the conversation, I’m likely to just default to they. Like if I’m just calling my partner “my partner” rather than their name, I won’t then specify gender with pronouns. Disclosing gender when it doesn’t matter can feel weird.

The audit seems way less common if an AH card is scanned. Maybe like once a month?

Voyager for me. The compact mode is fairly compact, with small enough thumbnails that it can feel text-first. The few others that support piefed have had huge images with no easy way to fix that.

I’ve been having blocked comms showing up in apps for the past day or so. The web version seems to be fine. I wonder if these could be related somehow

I’d say it might even be heavy handed with the message, even if you agree with it.

It was more than good enough to suck me in anyways.

Lots of great ways to serve spinach here already. A few more:

• Veggie lasagna. Be sure to wilt and squeeze out excess moisture, otherwise you can end up with a soggy lasagna
• Strata with bacon
• Creamed, and cooked low and slow. Spinach slowly releasing its juices into milk/cream is incredible. Usually with a cheese similar to gruyere or comte. Be sure to grate in some nutmeg. Scratches a similar itch to saag if you want something like that but different
• Florentine anything, but I’m partial to omelettes
• As with most darker leafy greens, added soup or pesto (or if you have a better term for the non-basil family of uncooked smashed leaf/oil/salt/nut or seed/cheese sauces)
