That's my biggest pet peeve, when it auto suggests words that don't exist.

In the USA, money buys your freedom

I think you are missing the entire point. Nestle puts sugar in the baby formula because it's a physically addictive substance. A mother who buys the formula but later tries to switch to different formula will end up with a baby going through sugar withdrawals. I think it's safe to assume the baby may not even feed until it's given the Nestle formula.

This isn't the first time Nestle has done something like this, they have a dark history. Some might even call them evil.

Plus all the long term health issues associated with giving children sugar. "Added sugar intake at an early age may have adverse life-long health consequences, including overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and dental caries, as well as worse dietary habits" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8624134/

And yes I think it should be regulated for children, based on the science it is a serious health issue.

Also you keep mentioning the "left" like this is some political discussion. This has nothing to do with politics. **I think most people would agree that using a legal addictive substance to hook babies to your product is a real dick move and something should be done to prevent it from happening. **

"Eating too much sugar can lead to weight gain, which then increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers. But sugar also alters our mood and provides feelings of being rewarded and euphoria; hence the comparison to illegal drugs." https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.ramsayhealth.co.uk/blog/lifestyle/is-sugar-more-addictive-than-cocaine&ved=2ahUKEwj-8KOjt8uFAxUT4skDHUPYBWAQFnoECEkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2ys5-XMhDhbu8-D39e9u4j

Yeah it should be regulated as a highly addictive substance. It shouldn't be in baby formula.

I don't know what you mean by "addictive as anything else". We are talking about the relationship to how your brain reacts to these substances, using science. Based on that there's only a handful of highly addictive substances out of millions of potentials.

This isn't psychological addiction, we are talking about physical addiction. And sugar is comparable to the 2nd most addictive substance in the world, cocaine.

And you think that's a good idea to give to infants?

You think that it shouldn't face regulation?

Your argument is subjective and lacks substance. The facts are very clear here.

Sugar is roughly as addictive as cocaine.

So yeah, addiction is probably the end game.

Fire on the mountain

That would be my first thought. Just mark as spam and keep your rewards.

Depending on the product/service. The cost of customer acquisition needs to be less than a 1/3 of the cost of the product. If your product costs $100, then this is a great customer acquisition cost. If it's $1, then pretty bad.

Well I guess 60 GB wasn't enough space for the 10mb update

Health bar

Is that the one where MS updated the recovery partition by including a file that's too big for that default partition? I had to manually resize my recovery partition to fix that issue

My recipe box is another app that does the same thing. I haven't looked at a recipe website in ages

I used to work with a lot of young people and some of them told me they hated the Beatles. So I would randomly play Beatles songs and occasionally ask them what they thought. Turns out they never even listened to the Beatles except for maybe a couple of pop/radio songs. It was just a fad to hate on them

I think all motherboards support this, they just don't come with speakers. You can grab a speaker for you motherboard for about $2 or like 100 for $20

Delay is less of a tactic and more of a lack of tactics

I literally just finished rewatching this movie 2 minutes ago. It still holds up really well.

Money.

Trump Building used to be located at 666 Fifth Avenue. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to summon Gozer the Gozerian in there.

I think this also falls under "taking the Lord's name in vain".
