But how do animals without homes learn to cook their meat?

It's not just that we eat "too much" but also that we're eating too much non-nutritive foods. The United States has entirely too many so-called "food deserts" where people are unable to purchase healthy foods

HBO loves doing this with their shows. See also True Detective

That's what kills me. This guy could have lived out the rest of his days banging pornstars and defrauding investors and no one would have raised an eyebrow until the posthumous Netflix documentary, but no, he had to go and accept the most public job in the country.

He chose this.

I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)

Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).

Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.

Around $440MM if you throw in the $83MM he owes in that recent defamation suit

He just twirls a few long strands on the top of his head like spaghetti every morning then hair sprays the crap out of it

 

Tl;Dr Spotify turned shuffle on after I closed the app then later resumed my listening leaving me wildly confused and possibly with some major spoilers. Check before you resume listening.

I did a longer road trip this weekend and decided it'd be a good time to get through some of the books in my backlog. Unfortunately, not only was I hit with my audiobook listening limit (15 hours per month, apparently), which is not something I remember Spotify advertising very clearly in the app, but also Spotify decided to turn on shuffle on my return trip. Since I was paying attention to the road I honestly thought that perhaps the author had decided to go with a disjointed narrative for the latter half of the book, but when I got home I found that I had inadvertently listened to a few later chapters, and now I'm a little upset about it.

The book was The Luckiest Girl Alive if anyone was curious (honestly the jumpy timeline narrative kind of worked, it was just a little confusing). If you're new to this one, it comes with a pretty big content warning just fyi.

I guess I'll be finishing it next month when I have more listening hours on Spotify.

 

I like shopping in book stores. There's something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can't get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my experience) even when I go to a large chain like Barnes and Noble.

How is it that Amazon is able to afford to offer the books so much cheaper and also support all of the infrastructure involved in shipping it to my doorstep compared with in-person stores?
