They could have fit it all in the headline tbh but there'd be nothing to click past that.

If you go the yogurt route give Nancy's a try. They put probiotics in it after the pasteurization process.

I haven't heard of this working very well in practice. We need to end QI and make the police earn their keep. In general, they've cozied up too close with any potential oversight for a reasonable person to have faith in them being

Any reason to not just give things a quick wipe down with isopropyl alcohol, besides flammability?

No they didn't but giving Gregory Peck an Oscar over Peter O'Toole should have destroyed any notion of credibility.

Isn't this the basis for some gen-z conspiracy theory?

The cost of curtains for non-standard sized windows is insane too. I just bought canvas and I'm hand-stitching my own. All the materials needed for a dozen windows, including the tools, comes out to less than two curtains made by someb

Ahh, that's about the time IIRC that Dell started soldering in their wireless chips on the XPS 13. Previously you could swap them out for a different chip with better drivers, now you're stuck.

Michael Pollan on the radio. I believe he discusses it in This is Your Mind on Plants .

I can imagine a few reasons why they'd do this, but some of it may just be 'why not'. Studio Ghibli has done the same thing with their animation software and it hasn't turned into a disaster for them. Making movies, espe
