Am I reading this right?

The maker of Pyrex glassware and Instant Pot has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection ... brands also include Corelle, Snapware, CorningWare, Visions and Chicago Cutlery, ...

Pyrex seems like a way bigger deal than instant pot, and those others are also well-known. Is this just a restructuring thing where they will screw creditors and then continue on? Or they will sell off the brand names to some new companies that may or may not keep the same quality?

Sometimes we say "crash-down" or "splash-down", like a space capsule. You could also try something completely off the wall that just becomes your shared euphemism for bedtime. Maybe the ending of some book or movie you all like can give you some inspiration?

I miss reddit too, but I'm realizing that I miss what I thought it was, and not what it is becoming. It's useful to remember that for mastodon it took years, and many separate waves of migration, for it to have its current use base. So, when people say it will take time, and it will be hard, this is what they're talking about.
