No, it's not the first cocoa-free chocolate. Without cocoa, it is not chocolate. And it is not the first fake chocolate, either -- carob fake-chocolate has existed for a pretty long time.

I'm curious who these experts are that, two full years in, are still surprised every single month when the obvious is reported.

The book was never actually 'banned'. What actually happened was that there was an argument over the promulgation of a recommended works list that emphasized specifically teaching "diverse" materials, and the Girls Who

Of course, it's perfectly permissible to run advertising to support Gavin Newsom, regardless of the content, just like it is impermissible to run advertising supporting his opponent, regardless of the content.

Notice the critical phrasing "posted in error". Not that it isn't happening or that it was a mistake, just that posting it in that place in that particular instant was an error. They meant to do it when nobody would notice.

They "accidentally" paid somebody to write a new agreement and then accidentally published it. Uh huh.

I suppose that means the war isn't going as well as planned anymore, if Alphabet has to demonetize and downrank the reportage.

Because they're not really useful. It's very difficult to keep chemical weapons contained so that they only damage your target and not your own soldiers or your allies or a bunch of civilians whose gruesome deaths will not play w

What perks does citizenship bring? You have to do all the paperwork if you want to go anywhere, you have to follow all the rules, and you still have to pay taxes even if you leave the country. Being a citizen or even a legal resident is j

Truthfully, why should one be a citizen? It seems like you get all of the benefits of citizenship, plus the benefits of being a non-citizen, by being a non-citizen. Citizenship comes with only drawbacks these days.

In particular, male kids aren't going to college anymore (one source among many: https://www.forbes.com/sites/elizabethbradley/2022/02/03/men... ), so you probably actually can't blame girl

In other news, many opioid pain medicines are only available in formulations mixed with acetaminophen, as a "deterrent" to abuse, because acetaminophen is acutely toxic in moderately large doses.

That's interesting, and it does make sense -- if you're not using opiates, tiny residues of fentanyl can be very dangerous. You would think that dealers would be more careful than that -- killing your customers is bad for business

A bit of a tangent, but the opening paragraph suggests that weed is now being cut with fentanyl causing death. Is this actually true? It makes absolutely no sense at all, unless the goal of whoever is doing it actually is to kill people.

Indeed, the Fed Open Market Committee, which is the arbiter of interest rates in the United States is a 12-member body, so it would take at least seven people to do something this destructive here. (Of course, the FOMC members change ove

May or may not be much fodder for the research papers. We've done this so many times before that there's really just nothing left to study/learn beyond coloring in the picture of misery with higher resolution. We've k

This topic could be potentially interesting to study, but this particular study is a bit weak, as it makes no effort to control for any other variable which might correlate with party affiliation. They used a dataset of people in Ohio who v

It would be cool for the same standard to apply to both sides. Ever, on any subject, even just once. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The only standard in existence is the double standard of "whatever I do is good, whatev

You don't get to have it both ways. Either it is acceptable to question the results of an election or it is not. Either it is acceptable to try to alter the outcome (such as through a campaign to suborn electors to cause them to be fai

It's pretty despicable that we have decayed as a society to the extent that we are so weak and fearful that writing words people don't like is seen as equivalent to homicide. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones..." -

It's funny, these posts keep saying that Russia is about to collapse. Maybe it will, with the full force of the West acting in concert against it, but... It's not Russia that is expecting to have to tell people to move all the fa

As prices rise, people will be less likely to buy the newest devices, both because the devices are more expensive and because their food, energy, and rent are eating more of their pay. As companies lay off employees, they need fewer replace
