This was the worst October ever here in Texas. The high was above 90 almost every day, and not a single drop of rain for the entire month, when it's usually our fall rainy season.

A cup of pure tomato paste has 32g of sugar, since tomatoes are fruits that contain sugar. It doesn't look like that sauce has any added sugar at all based on the ingredients, but it does have carrots, which are also high in sugar (for a vegetable)

the approval rating of Milei's government bouncing to 52.5% in October from 49.6% a month before

Their currency is so worthless they can't afford to import anything, so this makes sense.

Sure, YOY inflation is over 200%, the poverty rate is almost 60% of the Argentinian people, and the unemployment rate is all but unmeasurable as millions of people have moved to working in the underground economy, but hey, we got a trade surplus, so the titans of industry can still get theirs!

Don't forget the chronic defunding of public schools, leading to less individualized attention and overall lower quality of staff

when they get caught

My man, people coming across the border to claim asylum intentionally turn themselves in. You fantasize about USCBP "hunting down illegals" when in reality 90% of their job is serving as taxis for people who are intentionally trying to be found

A little bitter, with pronounced notes of drywall and batt insulation, and a subtle hint of mouse droppings

Cool entomological fact: Cockroaches and termites (and also praying mantises) are really closely related, and many cockroaches have the ability to digest lignin, aka wood, just like termites

Unfortunately these things play out over decades rather than months 😩
