Hey Beth, two of your “cleanest” lists are mistakenly ordered alphabetically. It would be pretty remarkable if that matched their actual pollution ordering...

It’s sarcastic, but it’s not incorrect because you don’t agree with it, which is partly the point.

Our polarized world (including the author) does exactly what she’s calling out whenever it suits our own beliefs and narrative. The problem is that “by trying to see everything through one lens...we’re ignoring actual…

I know, right? Like claiming the Revolution was fought mainly to preserve slavery... our willingness to colorize history today is mind-blowing. And dangerous.

The best way to improve your cookies is to upgrade to Ghirardelli’s Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. The key is all butter, 3/4c brown sugar, 3/4c sugar. Crispy edges, chewy middle - easily adjusted to taste.

Not sure where you got the idea that the quantity was unlimited. The offer states 1 redemption per person, per visit, and the quantity is not adjustable when ordering.

Ironically, buying used from Apple still incurs their infamous “tax”... a certified used iPhone still costs 2-3x what you’d pay for a similar model (with a 1-year warranty) at Backmarket.com or other outlets.

...and while Housing First programs have shown some promise for addressing homelessness at the individual level, they haven’t been shown to be as effective at the community level. Nor do they have a stellar record of addressing the issues of mental illness, addiction, lack of employment and social isolation among homel…

Highly recommend using Dakboard (free version available) to create a DIY family dashboard you can put on a wall with an old monitor and a Raspberry Pi (or any family computer or tablet) to keep a live, central calendar visible.

A lot of clubs/schools/organizations have online calendars for which iCal feeds are available…

How incredibly sad that so many have had their opinions so polarized by current events that they view law enforcement as “quislings”.

The general public believes the average company makes a 36% profit margin, when the actual average is about 8%. Yes, there are huge salary gaps that sensationalize the issue, and yes, executives are also incentivized to maximize profit. But most CEOs aren’t Martin Shkreli, thankfully. The truth is generally somewhere…

I think people on all sides are far too narrow-minded and self-righteous. From one side of their mouths they claim to support the freedom of thought and ideas, but from the other they call for opposing voices to be silenced.

FWIW, anger can be, and hatred is unhealthy, and the world’s current state is very much a…

In a free market, using open and honest practices to maximize profit is a company’s job, as the author points out. To an Exxon shareholder, it’s an expectation. Considering supply and demand can result in higher profit, and most corporations aren’t engaged in deceptive practices, price gouging, etc. (monitored by…

Thankfully, you’ve pointed out the silliness of asking “those who set the prices” to lower them. Here’s hoping someone adds your informative article to one of the president’s briefings so he can better understand both the economics and the futility of that sort of request.

Ok, characterize it however you like... I’d prefer that the law didn’t change, but like most Americans historically, our system government and its institutions are distinct from the people who hold its offices and their political viewpoints, so our disapproval should be directed accordingly. And anger is justified,…

I’ve always been a fan, Claire.
