Cacao naturally contains heavy metals, so every chocolate product contains them as well. Some cacao contains more than others. And dark chocolate contains more cacao than milk chocolate, so it contains more heavy metals as well.

This is what Tony’s says on the topic: https://tonyschocolonely.com/blogs/other/a-small-update-on-health-and-safety-and-heavy-metals

Turns out Snowpiercer is based on a South Korean movie called Snowpiercer, which is based on French graphic novel called Snowpiercer. The movie belongs to “Made in Europe” but the TV series does not.

It's South Korean, but some European studios were involved.

I have used my Retki backpack for about 10 years now. It's starting to fall apart at an increasing rate, so I should probably replace it someday. I don't know if they are sold outside Finland, though. https://retki.fi/en/category/backpacks/

I am not aware of any stores that sell Kindle's MOBI format books. But there are stores that sell DRM-free EPUBs. You can use Amazon's SendToKindle service to send them to your Kindle. There are also online converters that can convert EPUB to MOBI.

As a Finn, these are the only stores I know that sell DRM-free e-books. I don't know if any of them sells e-books to other countries, but they all sell non-Finnish books as well. The DRM-free books are watermarked, which means the store adds some identifying information (your email address) to the books when you buy them.

• Adlibris is a Swedish store that operates also in Norway and Finland. They among other things sell DRM-free e-books. Just be warned that some of the e-books have Adobe DRM.
• Ellibs is a Finnish e-bookstore that sells both DRM-free and Adobe DRM'd e-books. This is the only one of these stores that has an English page.
• Suomalainen Kirjakauppa (Finnish Bookstore) is a ... Finnish bookstore. All their e-books are DRM-free EPUBs. Their prices tend to be a bit on the high side, though.

You can try to find more bookstores if you search for stores selling DRM-free or watermarked EPUBs.

And if anyone knows other stores that sell DRM-free e-books in English, do let us all know.

Been reading For Whom The Belle Tolls (2024) by Jaysea Lynn. I am positively surprised by this book. Easily a five star book based on the first 25% I have read so far.

It's a story about Lily who dies and ends up in Afterlife as a soul, like everyone else does. As it turns out, Heaven, Hell, deities of Greek mythology, Valhalla, and all the religions you know and don't know, are real and they all co-exists in Afterlife. I quite like the humor and the rich and imaginative world the author has created.

Itse kävin tänään hakemassa Matkahuollon paketin automaatista, eikä minun onneksi tarvinnut säätää minkään sovelluksen kanssa. Koodi tuli tekstiviestinä ja sähköpostina. Sähköpostissa toki mainostettiin sovellusta. Sillä olisin kuulemma voinut paremmin seurata paketin kulkua. Vaan eipä se paketti mihinkään enää kulkeutunut, koska se jo oli saapunut määränpäähänsä.

I know nothing about southern sweet tea, but here are few things I know:
If the tea leaves are broken, like in tea bags, the tea will get bitter more easily. Try getting some good quality whole leaf tea.
There is no such thing as low caffeine tea. Only less tea. Some brands/producers might make claims about the caffeine content of their tea, but as far as I know, there is no way to grow low caffeine tea.
Tea contains considerable amount of oxalates. If you or someone in your family has problems with kidney stones, you might want to keep your daily tea intake within safe limits.

One thing you might want to try is grandpa style brewing. Grandpa style brewing means, you put some tea leaves in a big mug or bottle and you keep refilling it with water as you drink from it. Many kinds of teas (green, white, black, etc.) can work for this type of brewing, but you might need to use less leaves as you would when brewing some other way.

Not to mention the increase in medical costs. Cutting people in half is probably pretty difficult and costly procedure, and the halves would probably need pretty intense care to keep them alive.

I would still call it flavored tea. If the tea only contains dried pieces of plants, without added extracts, etc. it falls in the category of traditionally flavored teas, in my simplified categorization. Those pieces can also be called inclusions.

Ginger tea is something you could make at home. Buy some tea leaves and either fresh or dried ginger, and mix them together. Jasmine tea is more difficult, as dried jasmine flowers loses their taste. To make jasmine tea, you either need to use extracts or you need to use fresh flowers which are allowed to dry while mixed with tea leaves. Tea leaves are like sponges: they absorb scents/odors. In many commercial teas, jasmine flowers are used only for visual appeal. The taste is added with extracts.
