I've found that the website gobankingrates.com has a lot of helpful articles. For example, the information below is good for everyone to know, at every age -- young couples starting out, growing families, and others. I make Aldi my first stop and get everything there that I can, and then I complete my shopping at the next-cheapest supermarket. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "8 Things You Must Buy at Aldi While on a Retirement Budget" If you've ever been to Aldi, you already know that the grocery store chain has some great options at a reasonable price. When it comes to food, you can get fresh produce, dairy, pasta, grains and frozen meals on a fixed income. But you can also get nonedible items, like paper products and laundry detergent.

Threads about poop, even if not about flinging poop, are always of interest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sperm whales drop giant poop bombs to save themselves from orca attack Sperm whales blasted a "big dark bubble" of poop to prevent an impending orca attack off the southern coast of Western Australia. Scientists witnessed the clever defense strategy unfold Tuesday (March 19) during a tourist excursion in Bremer Canyon, a whale-watching hotspot off the coast between Albany and Hopetoun. They described seeing a "cloud of diarrhea" permeate the water, and this rarely seen defense mechanism seemed to help the sperm whale pod escape what could have been a fatal attack by at least 30 killer whales, ABC News Australia reported.

Diamond Is About to Be Dethroned As the Hardest Material Ever Diamonds are the hardest substance on Earth — but on other planets, the jury is still out. That's because for some 40 years, scientists have theorized that diamond can squeeze into an even harder mineral known as an eight-atom body-centered cubic, or BC8. If true, this ultra-dense form of carbon would likely be found on carbon-rich exoplanets and would have both a higher compressive strength and thermal conductivity than diamond. Simply put, its discovery could be a game changer for a variety of industries, and now scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the University of South Florida (USF) using the Frontier supercomputer have found a possible pathway toward creating BC8. The results of the study were published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/tech/diamond-dethroned-hardest-material-ever-120000769.html

Sorry to hear this. Contact your U.S. Congressman's office and ask for the "immigration liaison." He or she will ask you to complete a form that gives the office your permission to help you. It shouldn't be too long before you get some constructive guidance. Best of luck to you!

Next Up for the Climate Hysterics: Meat and Dairy [...] there's one big drawback to meat production, according to the climate nannies. Cows eat a lot of grass, which fattens them up very nicely but also causes their digestive tract to produce a lot of flatulence. The cow farts contain a lot of methane, which is very, very, very bad for Planet Earth. So we're told. Soon, we'll be seeing "peak livestock emissions." I guess when that happens, no one should light any matches outdoors. "We need to see major changes in livestock production and consumption — really deep and rapid changes over the next decade," said Helen Harwatt, an environmental social scientist and lead author of a survey report on livestock emissions.

Global warming! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nearly 5 million animals dead in Mongolia's harshest winter in half a century, aid agencies say Mongolia is freezing through its harshest winter in half a century with extreme conditions killing more than 4.7 million animals and threatening the livelihoods and food supply of thousands of people, the International Federation of the Red Cross has warned. The severe conditions, known as dzud, are characterized by plunging temperatures and deep snow and ice that blanket grazing areas and cut off access to food for livestock. About 300,000 people in Mongolia are traditional nomadic herders and depend on their cattle, goats and horses for food and to sell at market. "For those people who are totally dependent on their livestock to survive, they have become destitute in just a few months," Alexander Matheou, IFRC Regional Director for Asia Pacific, told CNN Thursday. "Some of them are now no longer able to feed themselves or heat their homes." [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/nearly-5-million-animals-dead-024253853.html

Comments? ~~~~~~~~~ Democrats Cannot Win a Fraud-Free Election Joe Biden, or whoever the Democrat nominee may be, cannot win the 2024 election fairly. While all mainstream networks focus on Trump's alleged negatives, these pale in comparison to those of Biden and his party. The neocon faction of the Republican Party has claimed this election will be a referendum on Trump. However, the real referendum will be on Joe Biden and the Democrat party as a whole. There have been a noteworthy number of "referendum" elections throughout history, where a nominee's fate was determined by their, or their party's, poor handling of a significant crisis. In fact, there has been one almost every decade since the 1960s. [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/03/democrats_cannot_win_a_fraudfree_election.html
