I think what kick-started this was all the tariffs that were implemented under the Trump administration. It led corporations to move their manufacturing to other countries and in the process, it was generally discovered to work best to move manufacturing to Mexico. Now under Biden, they are trying to actively encourage moving things from China to Mexico.
This is very close to the "perfect" recipe I use from Tasty. But they add in a little bit of espresso powder. It's not enough to make the cookies taste like coffee, but it does make the chocolate flavor more intense. I really like this recipe, but now I want to try the ATK recipe and see which one is better because I swear by the Tasty recipe ever since I found it. Here it is if anyone's curious: https://tasty.co/recipe/tasty-101-ultimate-brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies
That's strange. I went to use it on my android phone and only the woman appeared. But in the sync app, there are 3 options. And if I copy/paste the pregnant man emoji from sync to messages, it works fine. So that means the code is there for Android, but they intentionally hide it? I wonder why. Maybe they think it's too weird?
From what I understand, the US is actively investing in the Mexican economy right now in order to both shift our manufacturing reliability away from China and also to provide economic stability in Mexico to shift power away from the cartels. Please take this with a grain of salt as I do not remember where I read this and cannot provide a source. But from what I recall, the long term plan is to setup manufacturing in Mexico for the above reasons with the bonus of reducing shipping costs, time, and shipment vulnerability. I really hope it works, because if you think about it, it just makes sense all around. If we make Mexico our biggest trade partner, we both benefit in big ways. And the more options people have in Mexico for jobs, the less they have to rely on the cartel.
Aside from that, I used to agree that legalizing drugs would take the market away from the cartels, but then you have to remember that the cartels have since diversified. So stop eating Haas avocados??? I don't know, I'm just a graphic designer ¯(ツ)/¯
I still use them if I am the one who is sick to prevent spreading, or if I'm going to be going on a trip soon to prevent me being sick and ruining the vacation, or if I'm around vulnerable people. The vacation one might sound silly, but I had a very close call this year where a family trip that couldn't be canceled and had to be planned a year in advance was almost ruined by everyone getting sick a few days before. We lucked out and it was very mild, but it could have been something nasty that made us cancel the trip. So now I wear a mask when going out in public a couple weeks before a trip.
This study isn't really about kinds of protein, it's more about different protein products and the amount of micro plastic in relation to the amount of processing. If it was just about kinds of protein, then the chart would just say "chicken" or "soybeans" instead of "plant based nugget" or "chicken breast". Very eye opening about breaded shrimp. I would have assumed those were no worse off than a fish stick, but apparently they're worse than chicken nuggets. In the end this just goes to reiterate that the more processed something is, the more sus it is to eat :/
I guess the company that makes butter for HEB must also make butter for Jewel Osco. The butter looks exactly the same, but the box is different. On the Jewel (or signature) butter box, the salted is blue like the butter paper, and the unsalted is green... For some reason. But at least one of them matches the box, so it's not as confusing.
People are just trying to make the best of this situation we have to experience called life. I used to work for smaller companies and they have pros and cons just like large companies. Then I was laid off and the only place that would hire me and not give me a pay cut was a large corporation. So here I am now. Let me be clear, I do not want to work for this company. But what they provide me for the time being, is stability where other companies are laying people off left and right. They hired me as a remote employee and then a few months later said everyone had to return to the office a few times a week. I don't trust this company and I never did, but until the economy stabilizes and I can find another solid job, I'm stuck. I can't just not work, and I refuse to go back to being poor and struggling to stay afloat. So I feel for these people. You don't always have a reasonable choice in employment when things aren't stable but you also have to think about supporting yourself or maybe kids.
TLDR: It's not always so cut and dry of a situation as "don't work for a shitty company". All I'm trying to say, is that you should really step back and try to think about these situations from others' perspectives sometimes.
That was a good article with lots of great sources. But my tinfoil hat is telling me that all of these large companies demanding return to office aren't doing it because "beliefs". They're doing it because the people have gained too much power in the last few years and this is the strategy to put them back in their place. Lay people off in hordes while interest is skyrocketing and demand more from them if they want to keep their jobs. Make them afraid and vulnerable so we can control them better. But again... that's the tinfoil hat talking.
My school has a system where you could only choose eligible books and each book had a pre-assigned amount of points it was worth based on reading level/pages/etc and you would have to take a quiz to make sure you read the book. So I did the opposite and I read 3 really big books worth 40pts each and only had to take 3 quizzes which for some reason were the same amount of questions as lower level books. Wasn't enough to beat the kids that actually enjoyed reading and read a crap ton of books for fun, but at least I was able to get free tickets to 6 flags each year.
I am on the fence about this subject. On one hand I would like to see a world someday where we don't need to kill animals for food or fur. On the other hand, we haven't yet found environmentally friendly material replacements for some of these applications. I hear on the news about things like pineapple leather and mango fur, but I have yet to see them used in something practical that would help reduce the use of animal products. Like sure, I can buy a purse, but when will there be an alternative for car seats or shoes that isn't made of plastic. I really hope someone out there is working on a solution, but until then I'm really not sure which is worse. Fake fur hats will just add to the piles of plastic like everything else :/
There are very well written rules in the landlord-tenant ordinance about how to submit notice and it works both ways. So if no one received notice, then they didn't do it per Chicago landlord-tenant ordinance. I found this out when I was researching how to submit to my landlord for repairs so that I could legally deduct from the rent. It's all spelled out for everyone in that handy document and it's the same for all of Chicago.
This is a weird situation and I have some insight as a Chicago resident. But I'm definitely not a lawyer, so take with a grain of salt. The way I understand it, is that under normal circumstances this situation is highly illegal as notice is required far in advance for residents to vacate the property. But under very specific emergency circumstances where the owner must vacate everyone on the property for safety, no notice is required but they have to pay to temporarily house the residents. So it doesn't matter which situation is taking place, the owner is in the wrong.
