A heartbreaking story is currently unfolding that’s sure to have devastating ramifications for years to come. Just moments ago, without any warning, the worst person you know just made a great point.

Definitely medium roast for me, instead of dark roast that most people seem to obsess about. More complex flavours IMO and it's not bitter at all. Lighter roasts also have more caffeine than darker ones.

I also wasn’t aware about Hulkenberg’s Dutch being that good

He's from Emmerich, a stone's throw from the Dutch border.

LEGO is Danish.

Most likely a fine and/or reductions in budget, according to https://www.formulanerds.com/explainer/a-guide-to-penalties-in-f1/

You can buy the coins for as little as £0.75 each (~$1) https://www.recovery12.co.uk/newcomer-aa-medallions-67-c.asp Then go to a bar and get a drink for almost nothing.

Is fashion not mostly about convincing you that your clothes are somehow wrong and you need to purchase new ones?

For a start:

One in 10 American households struggled to feed their families last year, with more than 5 million families missing meals and cutting portions due to poverty https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/07/us-food-insecure-families-poverty-study

My assumption would be that if you barely afford food, a flight would be out the window too.

As ever Wikipedia is a good resources to further information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States

This bit in particular sticks out:

Among married couple families: 5.8% lived in poverty.[89] This number varied by race and ethnicity as follows:

• 5.4% of all white persons (which includes white Hispanics),[90]
• 10.7% of all black persons (which includes black Hispanics),[91]
• 14.9% of all Hispanic persons (of any race)[92] living in poverty.

Among single parent (male or female) families: 26.6% lived in poverty.[89] This number varied by race and ethnicity as follows:

• 22.5% of all white persons (which includes white Hispanics),[90]
• 44.0% of all black persons (which includes black Hispanics),[91]
• 33.4% of all Hispanic persons (of any race)[93] living in poverty.

Among individuals living alone: 19.1% lived in poverty.[89] This number varied by race and ethnicity as follows:

• 18% of white persons (which includes white Hispanics),[94]
• 28.9% of black persons (which includes black Hispanics)[93]
• 27% of Hispanic persons (of any race)[95] are living in poverty

Or for British pirates, they go to Arrrrrrgos..

As Hammond's Workshop proves, expense management is not Richard's forte.

If it's Boeing, I ain't goin'.

Excellent point.

burying the lead

It's "burying the lede" though.

at least you can always get your passport go to the airport and leave

"The US State Department estimates that 37 per cent of the population has a valid passport" according to the Telegraph. There's also the question as to how many people can afford a flight anywhere. A theoretical freedom to have the ability to do something is great, but many Americans lack the ability to exercise those rights.

This is not a what-aboutism but rather a more fundamental conceptual separation between the negative liberty and positive liberty. The US and other Western countries like the UK are better at one than the other to varying degrees.

My son’s A-level chemistry teacher saw him drinking the same brand of squash every day and commented “You drink a lot of that. Are you sure there’s no aspartame in it? There’s no way I would deliberately put aspartame inside my body.” Make of that what you will.

There's no way I will deliberately put aspartame inside my body but only because it just simply does not taste sweet to me but instead it tastes bitter. I'm not the only one either https://www.futurity.org/why-fake-sweeteners-can-taste-funky/

Similar gag but actually from Top Gear

A fair hypothesis, but can you substantiate it?

I’m not seeing any. Maybe it’s a glitch with your app?

Beyerdynamic for me.
