update, I've had seamless open for 2.5 hours and have been unable to decide whether the food I want to get me through this process is mexican, thai or mac & cheese, with the result that I have not eaten anything

I'm really sorry, but I can't answer this. I have no expertise or sources on the details of marijuana/hemp policy.

Well, usually (in my experience at least) they say "clinically validated" and you have to be like "mhm okay, by whom, can I see the peer-reviewed paper please?" But this one doesn't even make that claim

Also, you can say "vaginal dryness." It's okay. Vagina isn't a bad word. You should be able to say it if you're going to hawk menopause treatments. GTFOH with this "intimate dryness" business

I'm told that when my husband was a little kid, a gull got in his face and flapped its wings and screamed at him until he dropped his funnel cake, which the gull then flew away with

I personally had a Jersey seagull swoop down from behind me so low that the wind rustled my hair, grab a bite of my frozen custard cone and swoop up and away, leaving me staring in shock at a beak-shaped hole in the frozen custard

(this is from a press release titled "Shouting at seagulls could stop them stealing your food," about a new study)

I don't even have the excuse of being a transplant from somewhere without winters

Not as much as pasta, but I do like it. I'll take a look

Reading, writing, watching TV with my husband, cuddling my cat, derping on my phone, staring at a blank wall — all better than cooking

Every minute I spend doing ANYTHING in the kitchen is a minute I resent not being able to spend doing literally anything else

If you think my primary pasta consumption is from boiling dried boxed pasta and making sauce/toppings, you are underestimating how deeply I hate even simple cooking

Also, re: brands that are made in the US, in addition to ripple effects on those brands' prices from decreased supply of imported pastas, I just confirmed that the frozen pastas I get from Trader Joe's are largely imported from Italy

I'm not an economist or an economics reporter, so I make no claims of knowing exactly how these tariffs would affect the pasta market, but I do feel confident in saying that US-made brands wouldn't be fully insulated from the ripple effects.

I think this article is somewhat misleading. It *is* true many brands are US-based and won't be tariffed. But that doesn't mean they'd be unaffected. Those brands would have to accommodate a larger percentage of total demand than they're used to; less supply could easily mean higher prices broadly.

You don't need to tell me "stock up," friends, I assure you I've thought of that

Yes, that's correct and mentioned in the article. It's not that pasta would disappear from the US. But no company is equipped to suddenly, seamlessly meet a far larger share of demand than it currently does — there are limits to scaling up production, and less supply means higher prices.

Like the only time I'm not eating some type of pasta for dinner is when I'm eating Mexican food, and even in that case I probably ate pasta for lunch
