Germany plans sugar tax that includes sugar free drinks

My guess is because it's unsweetened, and that the tax applies to drinks with added sugar or sweetener.

I live in a city, just do the same thing I do when walking past literally anyone - leave a few feet of space, eyes forward, ignore.

Are inmates apart of the jobs report that comes out? Like the ones who fight wildfires, or clean up roads or on a work release program? What about the unemployment numbers?

Why?

There are different unemployment numbers but the main one is a person is unemployed if they
Inmates probably don't count for 2 and/or 3 and thus would not count as unemployed

This is what gets me about the whole "but JB Pritzker's toilets" argument. The guy is constantly pushing policies to lift up the less fortunate, protect the marginalized, and improve life for his constituents. Taking advantage of any tax loopholes available, which is what we all do, is not a gotcha.

What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects?
Eating less meat, especially red meat, is the most impactful thing you can do as an individual.

Tell that to the kid in my city who got run over by a semi truck a couple of weeks ago or the dozens per week who are admitted to the ER with scooter and ebike injuries.

We voted in the primaries, and Hillary got more votes than Bernie. She beat Bernie by a similar number of votes as she beat Trump by in the popular vote in 2016, about 2.5 million votes.
The reality that many Bernie Bros don't want to face is that Bernie was not popular with Black voters in the South, who are and have always been the backbone of the Democratic Party.
Bernie did almost no campaigning in the South, did not reach Black voters, did not speak to their concerns, and this was a big reason he lost.

Jokes aside people in their 30s should not be sore and in pain all the time. That's just being out of shape.

Bad photoshop not AI
OP, your bad photoshop has a million times more heart and soul than any AI image.

I hate to defend bad writing, and I hate even more when fiction feels the need to retroactively try to explain things that don't need it, but here goes anyway.
In the novel Kenobi the Tatooine locals find out his last name and immediately start wondering if he's related to any of the other Kenobis they know in the area. So they do at least give a few paragraphs to pointing out that it's a somewhat common last name.
Then there's "Skywalker," where fans say oh it's a common last name that's why no one batted an eye at it. But I just assume that Luke went by Luke Lars up until the events of ANH.
There's probably something in canon that contradicts that, and the Kenobi novel is no longer canon either, but you know what? It's all made up and I don't care, I just picture it like I want to.

Make sure you know what your kid is getting themselves into
Really though. It's crazy how much high is at your fingertips these days. Back in the day you had to buy weed and usually roll it into a joint or blunt, or at the very least pack it into a bowl. And either way it was getting smoked. Maybe you had a brownie once in a while if someone you knew was making them.

"Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo?
If I had to guess, it's because the back/top of the fridge is more prone to freezing.
