Sadly, on my list of the worst things going on in my country right now, this doesn't even make the top 25.

It's the same (or very similar) styling they used for the Cybertruck badging.

Of course! If people don't want lead in their supplements, they'll just switch to another brand!

Shit, if we could just provide universal health-care like everyone else does, we could remove a huge source of mental health decline, not to mention poverty and homelessness.

Or herbal phen-fen.

Jesus. The regulations for dietary supplements are already almost nonexistent (Thanks DSHEA!). That has led to significant harm at times.

Thing that worked for us (may or may not work for you): put packing tape or (better) double-sided tape over the area of the couch your cat scratches. Put an approved scratcher they like to use nearby. Ideally right next to the area they've been scratching. You can reinforce even stronger if you give treats when they use the correct scratcher.

It's typically used in items where you would only be consuming small amounts at once. Like sugar free gum and mints.

The only reason the market is heading toward EVs is because fuel efficiency regulations and incentives have pushed auto makers to start phasing out their ICE product lines in favor of EVs. The demand was clearly there, but nobody wanted to invest the R&D into providing a product. Market forces aren't enough to drive change when it's easier and more profitable for them to just keep the status quo.

Just like the Good Old Days^tm

Unfortunately, the artists don't have any control over ticket sales. That control belongs to the venue, and the venues almost all belong to Ticketmaster/Live Nation.

Not gonna happen. I would need at least 50 email accounts to compartmentalize everything I do online. Honestly probably a lot more than that. Maintaining that many accounts becomes a security risk in itself.

Training? That's adorable.

Making your own stock is a great option. It's cheap and easy but it does take time and planning. I keep a couple jars of Better Than Bouillon in the fridge for quick weeknight dinners where I need some broth/stock. One of chicken and one of beef. It's cheaper per unit and better most other store bought options. They have bigger jars at Costco, too.

From what I heard there were a lot more problems with the indictment than the illegal appointment. Just for starters, the indictment signed by the jury foreperson was never actually shown to the grand jury or voted on in the form it was signed. Which would mean the indictment was never actually valid. Also, there's strong evidence that they illegally used privileged information in the grand jury hearing.

This is what you get when you appoint someone who is not qualified for the job.

I don't disagree with your viewpoint, but I'm not in support of what ICE is doing at all. There are MILLIONS of people in this country who steadfastly believe that anyone arrested by ICE is an illegal alien and, yes, many of them also believe that any force used against such people is justified. Arguing with them from a humanitarian standpoint gets you nowhere. Pointing at stories like this, where they will clearly snatch up anyone on the street they think looks like they don't belong here is at least some ammunition to engage those peoples' cognitive dissonance.

Because it highlights the fact that they are stopping and detaining people based on illegal racial profiling. The officers involved literally don't care about legal status.

Great for you. But we're not in ancient Greece. Try looking at modern history and the literacy tests that were used to prevent African Americans from voting. Whoever gets to decide what a suitable test for voting rights is gets to decide who can and can't vote. That's too much power for anyone to be allowed to weild responsibly.

We don't test people to see if they are eligible to vote. That never ends the way you think it will.
