I don’t know many of the details of the price hike, but my first thought was that ms might be trying to put pressure on tariffs via consumer outrage. If people don’t see prices going up they won’t get upset, and absorbing the costs obviously hurts the bottom line.
If my theory is true it’s pretty cowardly to try to force it via consumer sentiment rather than using their considerable weight to fight the bully themselves though.

It’s hard to speculate, but the cdc should take a look at this strong correlation!!

Agreed people shouldn’t be drinking it, pasteurization makes it safe for everyone’s immune system. Especially important considering the state of most factory farms.
BUT you’re probably remembering right. I’ve had milk straight from the cow (and cream and buttermilk separated from a just milked cow, as well as butter churned from said cream). Buttermilk especially tastes like quite different from the stuff in the grocery store.

You probably already know this but for the others, different species of Bowerbirds have different color preferences! There is some speculation these preferences might relate to their own coloring. Also some speculation this might be due to regional traditions.
The Satin Bowerbird prefers blue, both the male and female have blue eyes and the male has that metallic black (almost blue-looking) feathers that some ravens have.

The Barrowbird’s Barrow is not a nest or a home, think more like a box from which a potential mate will watch him do a little one man show. It’s a temporary display.
- Comment on Hello there 2 weeks ago:
Totally off base for the meme anyway since the Barrowbird’s Barrow is not the equivalent of a house/nest and is much more akin to a little opera box from which the potential mate will watch him perform a little dance.

That’s my read too, they’re only focused on the short term sort of by design

In academia there’s a pretty solid understanding that grad students need to be included broadly not just for their own edification but because they are the next generation of scientists and if we want the whole enterprise to keep rolling we need new generations.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the tech sector. Typically upgrades in technology that allow the workers to be more efficient towards a task only briefly make a company more money than their competitors (limited to the gap of time where others haven’t made the same ‘upgrade’). If they all cut out low level engineers to tighten profit margins they’ll have to pay increasingly large amounts to a shrinking and aging pool of engineers who have experience.
