Newman's Own black tea, 100 ct. The 100ct is about the same price as a 20ct from name brands. The bags are wrapped in paper, not plastic. And 100% of profits go to charity
Edit: and it tastes better than other brands that sell 100ct like red rose or lipton
Fossil fuel companies knew about global warming since at least the 1970s. Those companies have used their enormous wealth to reverse trends towards public transit (e.g. Los Angeles used to have street cars...), halt the green energy transition until very recently, and spread misinformation and buy politicians.
Edit: also think about how all of those oil spills, mountain top removal, air and water pollution, cancers, asthma, heart disease that were "necessary for the economy" over the past couple of decades. When instead we could have already had fully sustainable energy systems with similar economic growth. Vote for politicians willing to do something about it.
Too bad justice can't be this swift in the US

The majority of carcinogens from smoking tobacco are created by burning the plant fibers. Quitting smoking is the number thing someone who smokes can do to improve their health. Vaping exposes individuals to fewer carcinogens than smoking, but still has the negative health impacts of nicotine alone on heart and mental health and still some carcinogen exposure.

Love my new induction stove! Our old gas stove was leaking and could have blown up the house. We've noticed a lot less waste heat too, metal pan handles can be grabbed without a hot pad, the kitchen doesn't heat up as much from cooking. And it heats up blazingly fast.
Nice! That's got to be the Dragonstone bridge from the GoT universe

Animals on average convert about 10% of the mass they eat into their own body mass.
I say outdoors. Indoors has a vibe of being human made to me, and a low likelihood of encountering wildlife. So I guess walking around a mine is indoor cave exploration
Hear me out, I go to a Unitarian Universalist church for the music and sense of community. There is no shared theology among UUs, only a set of shared values. UU services vary a lot by the specific congregation. Ours has had services on celebrating gender identities, promoting social justice, mourning global conflicts, and fighting climate change. Sometimes relevant theology from a variety of world religions is incorporated into services, but there is no expectation to be a believer and there are many atheist members in my church. The rest of the time we have potlucks, play board games, do community service projects, etc.
PSA: messing around with routes of administration for drugs is a good way to end up dead or in the hospital. Follow your medical providers' instructions, if something seems off/not working ask your doctor for advice.

It's mostly about the dose of carcinogens. THC is far less addictive than nicotine, so on average people who exclusively use cannabis inhale less smoke than people who smoke tobacco. A pack a day of cigarettes is a very common amount for people who smoke tobacco. That's 20 cigarettes, or 14-16 grams of tobacco a day. Few people who exclusively use cannabis are smoking 14grams/half oz a day.
There are two other major factors limiting our knowledge of the health impacts of cannabis smoking: 1) it remains federally illegal and therefore hard to get research funding. 2) a large proportion of the studies over the past several decades with people who smoked cannabis were confounded by many of the participants also smoking tobacco
TLDR: it's not great to inhale smoke of any kind, as it does contain an abundance of carcinogens.
I like how many European countries fixed the shutdown issue... Force a snap election for everyone in parliament if a budget isn't passed.
/S I don't get what's wrong! Boeing shouldn't let pesky things like safety get in the way of the stock price
Dedicated bus lanes can have multiple times the capacity in terms of moving people compared lanes that allow cars. Say you got a six lane road in the suburbs, convert the center lanes in each direction to dedicated bus lanes, then have a small median/curb separating the bus and car lanes on both sides. This will make buses faster than cars because of the lower congestion and incentive people to use them, making car congestion go down as well, because people who would otherwise drive are now on the bus.

The heat goes down immediately with most pans. Cast iron retains more heat though.
We went to the thrift store with a fridge magnet to buy our new pans, stainless steel lasts a long time
My dog will 100% of the time eat my other dog's poop in the backyard and occasionally throws it up inside the house if we miss picking it up...defeats the convenience of having a backyard for them to do their business.
City Nerd has a few great videos on affordable places to live that have urban amenities, for example: https://youtu.be/1qzePci2N6E?si=dWq43GmzH5ObF1q8
My Hyundai Ioniq 5 has ample physical buttons on the center console, steering wheel, and door, and a physical door handle that Teslas lack. Sure there is a touch screen (smaller than industry average), but I don't frequently use it, the buttons outside the screen are enough.
$4,800 every 6 months is only $800/month. The OP pays $500/mo on insurance, let's say $100 on gas a month, that's only $200/month payment on the loan for an old used car. Car ownership is expensive, but it's probably more common for the car payment to be $500/month and insurance to be $200/month. This doesn't even factor maintenance

Yeah we went with the GE Profile 36in induction cooktop.
It's more responsive than either gas or electric coils. The catch is you need pans that a fridge magnet will stick to. A trip to the thrift store with a magnet worked out for us.
Good suggestion, thanks!
We did try pineapple as the other commenter suggested, but the one with the apparently tasty poop is a picky eater and wouldn't eat pineapple
Corn syrup is mainly cheap because of the huge subsidies, putting that money to better use supporting veggie or fruit production would make us all a lot healthier
Eh, the CHIPS Act also does good things that doesn't necessarily need additional funding, so repealing it entirely would end those things as well. This problem gets at the structure of Congress, they have "authorization" committees that give power to federal agencies and separate committees that give money to agencies.
The Revivalists are an incredible bluesy rock band, but everything of theirs on the radio is their blandest stuff. They really excel with live performances and amazing instrumentals.
