What did you like about it before?

It was an advertisement. I'm not used to seeing those.

It's the only one not released in the past decade.

You're lucky. It's so annoying. Especially when it feels like one someone actually worked on but didn't want to read themself. I don't care how much time you put into writing and editing if I have to hear it through a robot voice. I'd rather hear a shitty mic/thick accent, or whatever else is stopping them from just recording the lines.

Love it or hate it, the “Big, Beautiful Bill” has some decent ideas.* But killing EV incentives? Maybe not the smartest play.

I thought a pod was a component of some vapes (reusable or prefilled) not another name for a disposable?

That's up to the almighty algorithm. You'll know where to find it once it's bestowed upon me.

Not exactly history.

“This is an absolute oyster carnival,” said Harvard University linguistics professor Dr. Howard Albright, who noted that the current idiom shortage has been the country’s worst. “I don’t know any other way to describe it.”

 

But getting rid of food dyes is probably still a good thing

 

Jared Towers, executive director of Bay Cetology, a research nonprofit based in Alert Bay, British Columbia, was on a boat in waters at the northeastern end of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, when a transient orca offered a freshly-killed harbor seal pup. “I did not have my phone out when T046C2 came over and dropped the seal,” Towers wrote in an email, “But I had time to get it when she left it there sinking before circling around to pick it up again.” He took a photo, showing the orca’s still-open, toothy mouth after just releasing the seal.

Towers says this demonstrates that killer whales are capable of generalised altruism, or kindness. It also shows that orcas can recognise sentience in others and are curious and bold enough to experiment across species, he says.

This generalised altruism makes sense in social societies where members benefit from cooperation. Killer whales are also some of the few marine predators that occasionally find themselves with excess prey. Sometimes, a pod will kill a larger whale than they can finish, for example. “You can just leave it, you can play with it or you can use it to explore relationships in your environment,” says Towers.

 

 

Reminds me of one of SNL's best skits.

Edit: and if you are a weezer fan ready for an emotional journey I can't recommend this video enough.
