No, the lesson was to demand unconditional surrender. That was just not in the cards for WW I. Russia had already dropped out.

> 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 motivator than anything the Allies had. Germany asked for an Armistice "on the basis of the 14 Points" which did not include occupation.
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.
For baseball hitting, that would be a colossal advantage.
For most of those, I either don't find any support, or it's actually contradicted ("get your stuff stolen").
"cook your own food" -- how do they manage that if they live on the street?
VDP does mention:
"fully-functioning computer lab
free weekly haircuts
shower and laundry facilities"
So I think you are mostly making stuff up.

"Among the unique features of the Center are the capacity for couples to shelter together, bring in pets, and have clients possessions stored. "
there's that juvenile sentiment again. And there "shouldn't" be any burglaries, car thefts, armed robbery, or murder, either. Nevertheless, they've always existed and always will. And compulsion will always be a part of the civilized state.
"There may be a path forward" -- weasel words.
> The threat of jail won’t convince him to stay in a shelter, which already feels like jail
So there you have it. Giving them a free bed won't do it. I have a feeling that even giving them a room at the Fairmont wouldn't do it.
Always leave 'em wanting more.
Imagine if he'd stuck around and gotten repetitive, like Weird Al.
It was a PITA. I don't miss it at all.
But longer might indeed be better. I can tell you they come out crispy and not soggy my way.
Exactly that. In a restaurant, you're really pressured to make it the same each time.
At home: Who cares? It's good that it's different every time.
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, you know you do:
===============
Start preheating the air fryer to 400F.
Slice the potatoes. Drop them in a bowl of water, swish them around and drain off the water, and fill the bowl again. By now, the water should be clear. If not, do it again.
Take the fries out and dry on paper towels, as dry as you can get them.
*These steps are important; you need to wash off the surface starch, and get them dry so you're not steaming them*
Put the fries back in the bowl and get them all oily. Put them in the fryer. The basket should be hot enough that they make a sizzling sound.
Every 5 minutes, toss the fries. You can either get compulsive and turn each one individually, or just pour them in a bowl and shake it, or shake the fryer basket (if that doesn't cause it to separate, as it does mine). Put them back in the fryer.
Check periodically that they're as brown as you want them.

Good variations? I want to hear them
I have a steel plate. An hour at 500F only gets it to around 400F.
Which is fine for pizza, actually, so you're right about that.
If you ask big US pizzerias (I don't know about the famous Naples ones) what temp they use, it's usually 650-750. At 900F you have zero margin for error.
The weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, supposedly make you feel like that. I haven't taken them myself. It's like you don't really want any more.
Americans seem to feel entitled to two meals for the price of one, and they may or may not eat them both in the restaurant. (If they don't finish, they take the rest home with them)
If you ask a real chef, "What do home chefs do wrong the most?"
They will often say, "Not enough butter, not enough salt."
You mean, "treat all guns like they're loaded"? That typical gun safety rule?
If you hand me a gun and say, "it's not loaded" I'm not going to point it at my head and pull the trigger. There's a crime called "negligent homicide" for just that case.

The same is true of "drill down." It's not explored why "double-click" (3 syllables) is better than "drill down" (2).
