The FDIC found a buyer for the bank at zero without too much difficulty, so in hindsight the taxpayer's money wasn't actually spent here. Would it have been a better warning to haircut the depositors a token amount? Say "the

There's a business idea: let users buy apps that cost $10 for say $2/month, 3 months minimum. Eat the risk of users cancelling, make bank on the large minority who end up paying 50 times. Add some dark patterns and confusing langu

Cereals run around 5 mg iron for a bowl [0]. A pan is about 1 kg (a good cast iron one could be much heavier). That's enough for 200,000 bowls of cereal. Even if you reckon the pan is degraded enough to be obviously useless after losin

1400 ppm is one part in 700, so you'd get your dose from one cup (250 ml) of that brine. I agree it's not likely you'd get a measurable effect from the local groundwater.
