It for sure says it on the can, but it’s not on the front of the can. This page has photos of the whole can, and agave nectar is in the beverage description (photo 3) as well as the second ingredient in the ingredients list.

All Spindrift flavored seltzers are sweetened with fruit juice.

It happens to me more and more these days as well.

I think your memory might be failing on this, because we’re about the same age and autosave wasn’t really a common feature in the 90s. MacOS didn’t introduce autosave until OSX Lion in 2010, and Microsoft’s auto-recover (which was their only feature even close to autosave until office365) wasn’t introduced until the 2000s and didn’t work properly until 2007.

Not if you're trying to become a martyr

That was probably because of the density of the cheese. I had the same thing happen to me with a bag of gnocchi once. They really thought it was something illicit because they had a big armed security guy on either side of me while they had me open it, and they looked really disappointed to find out what it really was.

Because security is more concerned with finding weapons and drugs. Customs/Borders Enforcement is the group tasked with finding prohibited plants and animals, and they don’t usually start looking for those things until you get to the destination country.

I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers. I said it was not typical for contract work. But regarding this comparison, tipping was in no way expected for deliveries before the apps. Del drivers back then were given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps also do not do. I know because I did deliveries in college before the apps. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, yet the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more. And another difference is drivers weren’t allowed to pick deliveries based on the tip value, but that’s how the apps work making your “tip” effectively the payment for delivery speed. That’s not how tipping is supposed to work.

But back to what I originally said, tipping is not typical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than delivery, ridehsare, and other similar new apps, so the apps created this trend for contract work, and it’s merely a way to pressure the customer to pay their workers so they don’t have to.

This is simply a company using legal distinctions to shift the blame. These delivery drivers should be employees of the company. Besides, tipping is not topical for traditional contractors. Any payment is agreed upon ahead of time in the contract, and payment is made in accordance with said contract. Tips never enter into it.

The ACLU had a pretty good article on it a few years ago. It seems the inaccuracy comes from the number false positives and the resulting aggressive police response.

Not directly. They are mostly indoctrinated by Christians from the West. There is a common belief among Evangelical Christians that the Israeli state is a requirement (much like the Antichrist) for their god to rapture them all up to heaven and end the world through a fiery apocalypse.

I don’t honestly know his opinions on the matter, but politically, he has used Zionist language as well as anti-Zionist language depending on whichever is more convenient for him at the moment.

No. It seems you are assuming all Zionists are Jews, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most Christian Nationalists are also Zionists.

And that is why he was ok with Russia blackmailing him with the pee pee tape.

I would argue all gods are created since there is zero evidence that they exist outside our imaginations.

Maybe she swapped the two putting the roast in the crib.

Those may be examples of temperate winds, but despite looking up each one of them up and trying to find anything tying them to the word “temperate,” I came up empty.

So more specifically… do you intend “temperate winds” to mean winds that change the temperature of the surrounding area? Or are you calling them that simply because they are winds that are geographically located within the temperate zone?

What are temperate winds?

Yeah, I know a few humans that also trade the blood of their species for that same perverse incentive.
