Oh. My. Gawd. All it needs is some pickle juice and Sriracha sauce.

I've never made one with Sunny D, but a screwdriver is pretty tasty.

It's common for blogs and some news outlets to include an image with each article. It may or may not be relevant.

I had searched for a couple of the roasters and they either de-listed the products or pulled the page from their website.

Anyway the FDA recall talks about canning low acid foods, and how the manufacturer hadn't filed the proper paperwork on their process.

True, but you're not going to pop the top on one of those then start sipping.

Maybe in the sense that Coke and Pepsi are the same product. From reading their website it looks like they partner with different roasters to make canned cold brew.

It's coffee that's been brewed then canned in a soda can. Your whole bean and pre-ground coffee that comes in a bag is fine.

I think allowing brief editorialization after the title strikes the right balance. Sometimes there is something particular the poster wants to highlight that the article title doesn't capture.

Embracer treats studios like they are disposable. They killed Volition (Saint's Row), Free Radical (TimeSpltters) plus a bunch of other studios. All of that was because their $2 billion deal with the Saudi Government fell through. Some studios managed to escape when one of the Saber Interactive original owners bought back a bunch of studios. They recently killed Pieces Interactive (Alone in the Dark).

If a studio is owned by Embracer, they are lucky if they will be around in 5 years.

They changed the headline to "Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky". The New Statesman article also was pulled.

The only recent information I can find is he was recovering from a bad stroke last year, and his wife moved him to Brazil.

Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn't work very well.

Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven't used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.

Go see a dermatologist.

A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren't helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.

The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn't a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I've had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven't had any problems for at least a year.

If you can, go see a dermatologist.

It's in the dictionary. There's even a wikipedia page on it.

The reform sweeping red America is slightly different from a voucher — it’s called an education savings account, or an ESA. In a voucher system, public funds go directly to schools. With ESAs, parents who opt out of the public school system get several thousand dollars in an account that they can use for private school tuition, homeschooling, or other education-related expenses.

But the biggest change is in who can use them: everyone. “It’s really hard to overstate how different from any kind of previous legislation these programs are.” said Liz Cohen, policy director for Georgetown University’s FutureEd think tank. “It’s not income-tested; it’s not about getting the lowest-income kids in the worst schools. Prior to three years ago, I would have bet a lot of money you would have never seen this happen.”

[...]

Critics of these changes argue they amount to a wealth transfer to families with kids in private schools, and they fear it will result in the weakening or even the eventual privatization of public school systems. They also voice concern over the separation of church and state, since many ESA funds will go toward sending children to religious education.

For many supporters, those are features, not bugs. They characterize the new ESA laws as letting parents take “their money” — the dollars that would have been used to educate their kids — out of public schools they have no interest in using. They call this “funding students instead of systems.” Their critics say it’s the destruction of the common good.
