Adding to this, some of the AIRCARE humidifiers are just a plastic tub, a wick that sits in it, and a lid with a fan. You'd have to break the tub to leak water.

Jesus was born in the spring, not the winter. Christmas is an adaptation of northern winter festivities and they slapped a Christian justification on it.

A business buys a product and pays a sales tax to the supplier, and this is deductable. It also sell the same product with a markup, and collects a higher sales tax from he consumer.

Usually in the US items purchased for resale are tax-exempt. A restaurant, for example, would have a resale certificate on file with their suppliers. Any food, beverage, and disposables they get would have no taxes since they are expected to sell those to a consumer. Cleaning supplies, however, are outside the bounds of their resale cert, so they would pay sales tax on those items.

Also, sales tax is not remitted to the government instantly in the US. I think it's done quarterly, but I'm not exposed as much to that side of it.

Blocks are a quarter mile where you are? That's huge!

In Chicago, they are an 8th of a mile, which usually means blocks are 2x2 big buildings downtown.

Labeling it the beginning of winter is a cultural thing.

There aren't many details available in that article, but it does mention 'bird strike' and attempting to land 'the other way'. That implies gear-up landing with at least one engine out and a tailwind. Not a lot of options for slowing down.

Half of these are a single recall from a farm that took two days for a major packer to pack. Anybody that used cucumbers from that packer that might have been packed in those two days then has to issue their own recall.

This was his first movie. He wasn't a big director. Also, he runs one of the big CGI/VFX studios, Blur, so if they were doing well he was making more than just his Deadpool salary.

The Logitech K845 only has a white backlight. It's a really clean, professional looking mechanical.

Rakuten is up front about it. They force their affiliate links, then pay you part of their cut.

Honey forces their affiliate links in exchange for maybe finding you a discount code.

Have you seen Bojack? It's more animated show than cartoon.
