The Price of this Candy Bar

Most junk food in the US has gone off the rails in terms of price. Like seriously, don't spend money on food that has zero nutritional value and is actively harmful to your health. You'll feel so much better and your bank account will be so much bigger.

I guess I have corporate America to thank for no longer buying chips, candy, or baked goods that I might've otherwise splurged on as a treat. Can't justify it with prices the way they are.

American Drivers Think Speeding Is Okay Because Everyone Else Is Doing It

In my experience, American roads are built to support much higher speeds than the speed limit is set. Going 10-20mph over the limit doesn't feel particularly unsafe on the wide, straight roads.

On the other side, it felt crazy to drive the speed limit on (for example) the narrow, windy roads in Ireland. The limit there felt like a literal maximum, whereas in the US it feels like the minimum.

I think he blew up his life to reveal something the general public probably should be aware of, but ultimately didn't care about.

Idk if it was heroic, but it certainly was interesting how he released the info slowly to get catch the government in numerous lies attempting to downplay the truth of the matter. One of the Obama administration's biggest blights.

I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain?

If all else fails, just tell the interviewers something along the lines of

"I was so excited about this opportunity that I wasn't able to sleep last night. I apologize for not being 100%."

Most people have experienced being too anxious/excited to get a good night's sleep, so if you are up front about it, they will probably be more forgiving than if you just try to power through and fail.
