That’s been going on before the Suez problems thought. Cargo shipping is universally risen 2-3x because covid affected the regular, predictable route and demand of trade, meaning there’s a severe lack of containers, ships, and sometimes crew available in many locations with even greater limited ability to go to the…

In the right light (television, indoor florescent), the application gives the face some color so you don’t have a pale white pallor. However, in other lighting, usually close ups in bright sunlight, the color is terrible and looks unnatural.

I’m sure all these people ridiculing Justin Bieber for visiting prison inmates have themselves visited prisons and volunteered to support inmates.

And it didn’t used to be. When it started, the idea was to focus exclusively on activewear and dual light active/leisure wear in the inbetween oLD Navy-Gap price point. Now it’s the same as places like Lululemon and usually 30-50% higher than basics from quality apparel companies like Nike, Reebok, UnderArmour, never…

The funding is available as measures passed in the Covid relief legislation. To extend it permanently, Congress would have to approve the law AND the annual appropriations. Which is why it hasn’t been possible in the past. 

Not really. Developing countries waste just as much food as developed countries due to poor storage and transportation practices which result in 1/3 of food produced ending up unfit for human consumption. The main food waste in developed countries isn’t manufactured products that aren’t used - businesses try to…

Cheese curds are literally cheese that hasn’t been compressed into a block or wheel shape. It’s in its natural form, which is curds that separate from the liquid milk (whey), so your opinion boils down to: cheese is bad. Which is your right, but not a generally wide-held consensus

Gizelle seems like a hot mess in her interactions with the other housewives, men she’s dating, and her wardrobe, but I’ve got to say, her father has been speaking truth for decades, and her daughters seem extremely smart, conscientious, and emotionally mature. I can only believe that in the day-to-day, she’s passed…

One of the obituaries I read said that had personally attended tens of thousands of events around the UK during his tenure. If you did one event every day, that’s 58 straight years of hospital visits and water pump facility openings and military parades. Despite everything - his messed up childhood and the war and…

It’s no secret that Erdogan’s platform is that women’s place is the pillar of the family - not the base though, which is the man controlling his family - and that women need to focus on being mothers to meet their true calling. These are all things he’s said publicly - within the last few months. Besides the fact that…

Honestly? Good for her for talking about the shame of being a plus-sized woman and the flack she’s gotten for trying to be body positive. As a result of her covid, she has to take steroids, which have added weight to her body, which already fluctuates. She talks about that and being grateful to be alive. As someone…

Also the Feds don’t pursue cases they aren’t sure they can win and have a 98% success rate, so good luck with that, Jen.

Yeah the “country” itself is a blip. It’s mostly rich foreigners who abhor paying taxes who “live” there. I know tons of tennis players including Novak Djokovic, John Cleese, Bono, have residency for tax purposes.

It seems disingenuous to bring up an HGTV renovation show not highlighting historic racism in town. So strange how the Property Brothers weren’t called to account for the diversity issues of Toronto or the anti-Asian hate crimes in Vancouver. Househunters internationals looking for an apartment in Budapest should…

Eh, there’s obviously SOMETHING behind the bullying charge. As an American who worked in London and was rebuked for being too straightforward, I’m inclined to believe that Meghan truly feels she did nothing wrong and likely was direct with staff, possibly testy if overwhelmed and stressed- like we all get. There’s…

The discussion on NPR noted that people will look at this film 2 different ways: Those who are plotting in their heads how they would live in a van and what they would do to survive and find meaning in life in this situation, even with built-in contingencies and possible outside support systems (like Fern), and those…

I find him a fascinating figure, if only due to the time and circumstances that he was brought up in. Born when the Ottoman Empire still technically existed, his mother couldn’t raise him and his father wouldn’t - essentially abandoned and unwanted. His sisters stepped up sometimes when it was convenient for them, but…

She definitely needs the money but from what I’ve seen on the show, I think the fashion line is actually owned by outside investors? Remember when she went to that guy’s house in New Jersey and then there was someone previously in Long Island and they were discussing how they lost tens of thousands of dollars on her…

Never read the book, saw part of the movie, saw the Jason Robert Brown musical that leaves things more ambiguous and longing is half the story in any musical.

I can confirm/agree with everything you say (including the pretty heavy gay rumors during most of his 20s), but add some additional details. He only lives in Green Bay during football season. He has other homes in California and elsewhere (?). The football career will only last another few years anyway, and Shailene…
