Milk chocolate has very low toxicity for dogs, it's the higher cacao content dark chocolate that is a real problem. Regarding onions, while the issue is common to all alliums, garlic is the most dangerous, with toxicity starting at just 5mg per kg

Just riffing off the headline here, but owning a dog is directly associated with engaging in the act of walking a dog, and walking is pretty well established to be good for overall health. There's no reason to assume there isn't causation when there very well could be

In 1887, a group of American Civil War veterans from Pennsylvania planning a reunion at Gettysburg proposed the return of Confederate battle flags from three units, including the 28th Virginia battle flag, in hopes of enticing Confederate veterans to attend. Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States, issued an executive order in support of the plan. However, many Union veterans opposed the idea, as did some Southerners. Opposers included then-Governor of Virginia Fitzhugh Lee (a Confederate veteran and the nephew of Robert E. Lee) as well as Jefferson Davis who stated that the flags belonged to the capturing states and that returning them would break "all known military precedents". Cleveland eventually rescinded his executive order.

We have forgotten our history.

Is there any evidence this is happening at Ars Technica? They're pretty transparent about their methods, and obviously tech-savvy. Just because it happened at Teen Vogue doesn't mean it's happening at Ars. Conde Nast publications seem to be run pretty independently. Take The New Yorker, their content remains amazing and seems fully independent.

Apparently that one doesn't follow this rule, and is instead derived from the Latin word "retardare," meaning "to make something go slower."

Oh man, I've pissed in the shower most days for years and have never once taken piss vapor to the face. What am I doing wrong?

This is way bigger than just Israel, most of the Gulf Arab states hate Iran and would love to see its government fall. They've been funnelling literally billions of dollars to the Trump family since just before he took office again. The Qataris, Emiratis, Bahrainis, and Saudis are all openly bribing Trump, and this attack is almost certainly at least partially, if not mostly, driven by their talks with Trump behind the scenes.

I have one very large tote bag, put all my groceries in it, and sling it over my shoulder. I could never go back to these tiny flimsy plastic bags

Did you marry an evil sea witch/octopus who stole the voice of the king's daughter and disguised herself as a human woman in order to prevent the prince from kissing the king's daughter before sundown?

 

The evidence released so far suggest Tyler Robinson could potentially be linked to a movement like the Order of Nine Angles or 764.

 

But now I'm in bed questioning my decision.

 

so I turned on some lights.
