Ah the Milo of croton training method

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_of_Croton

"He would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time the events were to take place, he was carrying a four-year-old cow on his back. He carried the full-grown cow the length of the stadium, then proceeded to kill, roast, and eat it."

It was a survey measuring a bunch of things, not sure why that was the metric they focused on for the headline though.

"Since the start of the pandemic, grocery prices have risen 25%, the report also found.

Some consumers have had to sacrifice necessities to afford food, the personal finance company found.

That includes 28% who sacrificed other needs like rent or bills to pay for groceries, and 27% who occasionally skipped meals. Additionally, 18% have either applied for or considered applying for food stamps, while 15% rely on or have considered turning to food banks.

Yet, 53% indicated they earn too much to qualify for food stamps or other government assistance but still have difficulties paying for necessities.

While most consumers report noticing higher grocery costs,51% have also seen increases in gasoline prices; 39% said other bills like cable, electricity and internet have spiked; 27% said housing costs have gone up; and another 27% said dining out costs have risen."

Very likely someone who earned that money illegally that left it there and they very likely know now that they have it.

I have 2 different multipoint headphones and neither can, but I can't say for certain that it's not possible. With the main one I use, once you start playing audio on one of the paired devices, it'll completely switch over to that device.

It can save you a lot of time when it's right though:

That's still a big improvement. Even if you don't go full vegan, cutting out meat has massive benefits

Oh I see that makes sense, yeah I misunderstood it. Think the "part of a package" portion tripped me up

They're all in the same bill "H.R.8038 - 21st Century Peace through Strength Act" if you click that link in the post, that bill mentions the Ukraine aid as well as bytedance and tiktok

Definitely makes sense to bundle banning an app with foreign aid, lol. Love how our government works. Now if someone opposes the tiktok ban, they're also voting no to the aid to ukraine which is just insane.

You can sign up for a Roth IRA then, there's no need for anything from your employer to get one. As far as I recall there's no minimum amount of money you need to put in at start.

 

Why do some languages use gendered nouns? It seems to just add more complexity for no benefit.
