Unveiling the predatory tactics of the formula milk industry For decades, the commercial milk formula (CMF) industry has used underhand marketing strategies, designed to prey on parents' fears and concerns at a vulnerable time, to turn the feeding of young chil...

The worst part is that any kind of meaningful parental leave is lobbied against by some powerful companies, like formula companies.

If these people aren't being adequately punished and just being let go by the criminal "justice" system, there has got to be social consequences at least.

I finished it two days ago at around 60 hours and I completely agree. Definitely RPG of the year potential.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

You don't have to. UPS/FedEx/DHL all have these kinds of vehicles in various cities around the world in dense areas. It's not surprising Amazon decided to do it, too. More than anything, they're slow on the uptake.

These have been around for a bit now. They're a good solution to last mile delivery in a very dense urban area like Manhattan. It's much better than the large trucks blocking bike lanes.

This doesn't even make sense. It's looking like the denomination and value is $5M. It's like a prepaid credit card more than anything they're describing it to be.

Wikipedia definition of "idiot plot": In literary criticism, an idiot plot is one which is "kept in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot",[1]:โ€Š26โ€Š and where the story would quickly end, or possibly not even happen, if this were not the case.

For those who may be unaware (I called my local GameStop to check about launch day stuff days ago); GameStop is letting people grab a card from 3PM onwards when they come in to finish their preorders. You bring this card to the release and they give you what you ordered. I assume it's to save time.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

in New Hampshire, JB Pritzker hits the "simpering timidity" of many Dems:
โ€œFellow Democrats, for far too long weโ€™ve been guilty of listening to a bunch of do-nothing political types who would tell us that Americaโ€™s house is not on fire,even as the flames are licking their faces"

What are the Differences Between MicroSD and MicroSD Express? MicroSD and microSD Express are both types of flash-memory cards that are used to store data in electronic devices, such as smartphones and cameras. The

Express has existed for a while. It just essentially uses the same tech as NVMe SSDs to have higher read/write speeds.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkadโ€™s new book, โ€œOne Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,โ€ that will stop you in your tracks.
