Proponents of raw milk should look up Louis Pasteur and his thoughts on the matter before guzzling milk straight from the cow (or goat).

The irony is that even “oat milk” and “soy milk” undergo some amount of pasteurisation.

Every December this topic seem to come up. Are these articles are planted by employers to gauge the workforce’s reaction this the “return to office” idea?

I cannot remember ever hearing purchasing a home as your primary residence being described as a “speculative investment.”

Millennials see real estate as a speculative asset. That makes them less apt to buy than their parents did at similar ages.

Wait?! There was “Code of Colours” that we were supposed to follow?

Who is going to tell the people to repaint those political colours?

Not sure his voters/supporters care. The expression “cutting off your nose to spite your face” comes to mind.
No worries. that is exactly what they wanted.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

At some point, you have to ask yourself, it is literally worth it be able to say you visited NYC?

Let us also not forget those 10-12 “other fees”

You guys do realise that this is his “brand”. The free publicity will get him tons more Cameo sales.
Remember when George Santos valiantly returned to the Capitol on Matt Gaetz's behalf to advocate for an accused child sex predator? And then Gaetz withdrew anyway and now Santos is just on record having supported an alleged statutory rapist? Hope it was worth it!

Barrington Levy, sometimes called "The Mellow Canary" in Jamaica, inspired many imitators with his reggae/dancehall style.
He released around 30 albums. 🔥

The thing I love most about the Detroit Lions is that they play mistake free games, orchestrated by a super solid QB in Jared Goff, that largely results in a stress-free viewing experience. Anyway, time to watch last nights game vs the Texans.
