Trump confirms further delay to TikTok ban or sale deadline

Here We Go Again: TikTok Sale Deadline Approaches

The clock just never seems to run out for TikTok. A federal ban of the wildly popular social media app is set to kick in later this week, unless it reaches a deal to sell itself to a buyer deemed fit by US officials, or it's given yet another extension to do so by President Donald Trump.

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Griddle seasoning is, quite simply, protection for your griddle. When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks. (Some think that griddle seasoning is to help food not stick to the metal. It may or may not add some nonstick properties, but the main purpose is to protect the griddle against rust and other wear.)
