That's the point though, right? It's all publicity. They don't want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

They do indeed have more protein. The conclusion that it's for them to fall slower seems to be just a hypothesis

I listened to much of the interview on the radio. He touched on a lot of good points and then came to the absolutely wrong conclusion. He talked about how many writing rooms are "writing by committee" where jokes will go through a review by many different groups. If this is truly the case (I don't know) that is not an issue if the "far left mob" but rather the enshitification of comedy due to corporations and Wall Street bankrolling these productions wanting to ensure return on investment. This kills creativity by reducing risks. Topical comedy is a risky medium by default.

Also, shout out to Rob McElhenney for his sarcastic one word response. In Jerry's imagined world, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia can't exist.

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn't show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

I get the feeling they're trying to avoid martyrdom. He needs to go to prison for the big things, not on technicalities.

Did a quick search to see if nutrition and ingredients were listed - they weren't. Saw a lot of "our products are super nutritious trust me bro" in their ads.

Actually makes me thankful of all the regulations our food suppliers have to follow in the US.

Same way "Joe the Plumber", Kim Davis, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. GOP elevates their story to the national spotlight to "prove their point" and then leaves them out to dry after their 15 minutes of fame have been used up.

Look up how she made his son buy back his own letters between him and his father.

Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn't been much change since then.

Opening a walled community is always good for the end users. Promoting competition is always good for the end users.
