It sounds woo-woo, but this is absolutely real. The requirements of organic certification mean that the certified oats cannot be harvested, processed, stored, transported in such a way that they can become cross-contaminated with other grains, and they’re audited and batch tested to confirm this...organic and gluten…

One good thing about Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market is that many special diet items are available on Amazon Fresh, either as the original brand, or as the WFM 365 house brand now, and the footprint is basically Amazon’s delivery range as opposed to having a Whole Foods nearby. The other place I’d recommend…

I’m a Chicagoan, my grandfather was a milkman and I’ve worked on many dairy clients’ campaigns over the years - here in the midwest especially, dairy is in everything and it’s big business. It makes sense too, because we’re mammals, healthy infants drink mother’s milk, there are substances in dairy we’re hardwired to…

Disney will pursue a settlement, even if the legal team thinks they’ve got a fair chance in court. They stand to lose alot by disclosing specifics of the streaming model in court filings. If you thought regular movie studio budgets were accounting gymnastics and sorcery before streaming, the streaming side laid bare…

Yeah, sure, subpoena him, and make sure to have some questions and cross exam ready to go, so he doesn’t get to ramble and grandstand. But MEANWHILE, that little admission should be more than enough probable cause for the FBI to do a deep dive into his email, social media, and phone records from that week, and find…

I don’t think it’s that they were lightly armed at all. Once Capitol Police and DC Metro had more officers in place, their first priority was to clear the building enough to get the sheltered-in-place Members of Congress to safety, then start clearing the grounds. If they had corralled or “kettled” the rioters (like…

My beef with diner coffee is, once I get the color just right with cream, I only get a couple sips before SHE swoops by and tops me off.  At least IHOP plops a carafe down at your table and you get to dose yourself.

Sex talk aside, screw Pepsi or Toyota and the other corporate sponsors wholly unrelated product plugs, why hasn’t some mattress company stepped up for some product placements by now? They could auction off the used ones for charity, donate them to shelters or disaster relief, or showoff how recyclable the materials…

I think that’s the issue. If you’re in Tucker’s loafers, and look at the rest of America, it all seems pretty far to the left, because he has zero perspective on how far right-of-center his statements are.  Almost like the higher profile the person, the more insulated their echo chamber is.

I’ll differ from you - I think the closet makes this kind of thing easier. I think the criminalization of sex work or the marginalization/exoticization of black men within gay communities (or the compartmentalization) enables crimes like this. I also think the lack of real training or understanding of the police is a…

Is it weird that despite Cannick covering this guy for 4 years, I had to go to Wikipedia to figure out what Buck’s occupation was? Her use of the appellation “democratic donor” appears to be some sort of political statement, though it seems like he was pretty heavily invested in republican causes and campaigns until…

The good folks at Twin Engine Coffee Co. have been marketing cascara as Caturra Tea for a few years now. Tasty stuff, in gorgeous packaging, from a really lovely growing community....it’s organic too, for those who care about that sorta thing, and they have some very nice coffees too, fwiw.

It’s pretty light, on the border of fruity-herbaceous, but not too astringent. You may want to sweeten it up (sugar, honey, a hit of fruit juice?) and while milk isn’t necessarily a no-no, you may want to experiment a bit to get the right texture.

TSA has been adding, subtracting, and reinstating items on this list on a pretty fluid basis basically since TSA was created. There were points where the rules changed so fast and often that things you could carry on at the beginning of your trip were no longer allowed by your return...not to mention any of these…

Exactly.  Even at slow speeds (construction, ice, etc.) there’s often less than a car length between riders in the thru lane.  I’m convinced we’d save alot more lives and accident damage if we spent more time and resources pushing for better space cushions ...education, enforcement, dashboard tech, etc.

Zipper mergers work on paper just fine, but on a real road, most drivers don’t leave nearly enough space between cars. I’m totally convinced we could up speed limits on highways across the board, if only we could trust people to not follow too closely.

They didn’t mention a currency or what sort of internet connectivity was involved...so are they *sure* it was a crypto mining operation? or that it was *only* crypto mining? I’m just saying, Ukrainian cyber criminals have other lucrative schemes they could apply that level of computing power to, if the perps are even U…

Throughout the terraforming video, I kept thinking “this has way too many steps” and “why are they moving so much material around?”

Gotta put a plug in for CURLING. As somebody not particularly athletic, I attended a beginners’ open house at a friend’s curling club a couple years ago and was pleasantly surprised to see 1) I’m not terrible at it, 2) I’m not the oldest to try my hand, by far, and 3) It’s kinda fun...oh, and there’s usually plenty of…

Yeah, we need a multipronged approach: figuring out how to make the products last longer (right to repair?) or create them with modular/interchangeable components, getting better at recycling or repurposing components, and manufacturing methods that make them easier to recycle/reclaim at end of life. There are also…
