synergy rule
Had a marketing co-worker (semiconductor industry) who managed to get C-level execs to use the phrase "tea-bagging" to refer to sending hardware samples to various reviewers or journalists. It was endlessly amusing to hear in a company-wide presentation. He was so proud.
I'm sure Nate's had other career highlights since then, but that was certainly an early success.

How could we go about making a jurisdiction where advertising is illegal?
From near Nashville Tennessee through North Alabama and Mississippi to the Louisiana border there exists a 444-mile roadway called the Natchez Trace Parkway. The only signage you will see is related to non-commercial scenic viewpoints. No billboards. No businesses. Nothing but forests and fresh air. Furthermore, no commercial traffic is allowed whatsoever on the full length of the byway, and the authorities strictly enforce that rule.
It's glorious. Waterfalls, walking and biking trails, Indian mounds, and miles and miles of advertising-free roadway.

Found this animal tooth in a creek in Germany. Any ideas what it could be from?
As others have guessed, this is a bovid tooth, Bos taurus (cow).

DOI cracks down on stickers covering Trump's face on national park passes | Your American the Beautiful pass could be voided.
Put the sticker on a clear plastic card cover, and remove the cover if necessary for entry.

We donated ours to a local nonprofit org that rents them out. Such a cool group of film nerds running this operation. https://www.weluvvideo.org/
