Also note that subsequent cooking doesn’t prevent food poisoning.
That will kill off the microorganisms that are the root cause, but it won’t remove the poison that they already produced.

It wasn’t being marketed and sold as a meme product. It was being marketed and sold as critical safety equipment.
On top of that, it was being sold during a pandemic when such equipment was being used continuously by large segments of the population.
It shouldn’t be surprising that large numbers of people bought it; the company selling it lied to those people to trick them into buying it.

Your wife is right.
Most of the signs of aging are really just the cumulative effects of repeated skin damage, and the two most common causes of that damage are sun exposure and smoking.
- Comment on In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors? 1 month ago:
Adding on to this; I’d be very surprised if there was a locality within the U.S. that didn’t require every building to have carbon monoxide detectors, but again, voting doesn’t even have to occur within a building.

In short, no.
Voting in the U.S. is run by the individual states, and each one sets their own rules and policies.
The federal government does set some minimum rules that only apply to federal elections, but those rules don’t even require the use of voting booths: www.govinfo.gov/…/CFR-2024-title11-vol1.pdf

Get one of your professional contacts to honestly evaluate him.
You can’t objectively evaluate him since he’s your kid, and any advice he hears from you will be subject to scrutiny since you’re his parent.
If you’re right then your message will be more believable from a third party, and if you’re wrong then they will hopefully catch that.
Either way, you are right to try to set him up for success; that’s your job as his parent.

Use one hand to scoop and use the fingers on your other hand to count to ten. Then you don’t have to remember.
