I don't think there's a single state in the US that allows you to make food without gloves.

The only exception I've seen is when you're dealing with the ingredients before they've been cooked, like with pizzas.

Agreed.

Humans can be vegan because we're omnivores. Meat isn't the only source we need to get our nutrition. Our bodies are fantastic at pulling nutrients from different food sources.

Cats and dogs are not. They are carnivores. Their bodies cannot adequately process the nutrition from non-meat sources.

Humans can also take supplements for whatever nutrients we're missing. It's much harder to get an animal to take them, especially when you're looking at how many would be required on a vegan diet.

Finally, ask any vet what foods to avoid and they will tell you that you don't want to ever give your animal those small-batch/boutique foods. They are almost never nutritionally complete since they're designed to appear appealing to the humans, not the animals. They also often aren't produced in a clean food-safe environment.

That's why they fly upwards into international space first, duh.

They opened up a MC by me about a year ago.

I was returning an item last weekend and the employee made a comment on how many times I've been there haha.

It's not worth the effort and testing. People would only experience it once every 3-4 years, depending on when they get a new laptop. Must still shouldn't have to worry since other software would install that version of .NET already.

Plus, people don't bother to read error messages anyways. Another tool I created would create PDFs of the financials. The first section would be pulled from the EPM and the second would be a data dump of every transaction for each cost center. If the totals don't match to the dollar, the script would throw an error.

90% of the time, it was because the EPM data was being refreshed as it's scheduled to do so every half hour and takes 3-4 minutes. So I had the error message tell the person to just go take a quick break and come back. Still, people would email me saying they don't understand why they're getting the error and it would always be fixed if they just wait.

I don't even work in IT but I make complex Excel tools for my Finance team.

I get an email about once every week or two from one of my coworkers asking what to do about an issue. Nearly every single issue would have been resolved if they just read even the first few instructions.

My favorite is a specific tool we use to review the financials. It relies on Scripting.Dictionary which is only present in .NET 3.5.1 or prior. The very first instruction on the file says you need to download it. There's even a very handy button right there which will take you to our software center to install it.

Yet every single time someone gets a new laptop, they immediately assume that the file is broken.

Mexico is our second largest trading partner. Both Canada and Mexico are our closest allies. They provided aid to the US after 9/11 and Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.

I'm not worried that this would start a war. I'm worried it would cause permanent tension between two friends.

Most don't get that many. OP is likely targeted in the systems. My guess is that he votes often in the primaries and has shown interest elsewhere, like by signing up for communications or donating to or volunteering for campaigns.

I just checked my spam and I've received four political texts in July.

Call screening is honestly one of the best features to ever come to a phone. I really wish this could be added to every handset.

Huh, I was going to comment something about how the global top 1% has a lower threshold than that, but it really doesn't. $1M of wealth would put you in the top 0.7%.

And apparently the top 0.7% hold 45.9% of global wealth. The top 30% hold 97% of wealth.

That's the only reason I bought a modern car.

My parents would always buy cheap beaters. They had a car from the 90s they only recently got rid of because the transmission was shot. My first car was an '05 Caravan I drove for almost two years and got rid of in 2018.

I swallowed the pill after seeing cars get absolutely crushed to the point where the jaws of life were necessary yet passengers could just walk out.

I remember someone posted a picture of their brand new sedan. It was involved in a serious accident and sandwiched between two large pickup trucks. The entire car was squished down until it was smaller than the passenger compartment. The driver was able to walk away with minor injuries and the paramedics weren't even surprised.

I don't give a shit about the fancy features. I just want something that is reliable and safe.

You might want to re-read the article. That quote was talking about lithium ion batteries.

This scarcity, combined with the surge in demand for the lithium-ion batteries for laptops, phones and EVs, have sent prices skyrocketing, putting the needed batteries further out of reach.

Lithium deposits are also concentrated. The “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia holds more than 75% of the world’s lithium supply, with other deposits in Australia, North Carolina and Nevada. This benefits some nations over others in the decarbonization needed to fight climate change.

“Global action requires working together to access critically important materials,” Meng said.
