Not sure about the current trend, but my wife and MIL have been using Korean products for years and their skin looks great. Both look significantly younger than their true age because of how healthy their skin is
There have been some good answers already. Throwing another option out, I've used Phind AI to write complicated Excel formulas for me. You can explain it exactly how you did in your OP and it'll give you a nice neat output and even show you flow charts on why things are arranged or nested a certain way

Not only do I support this, it isn't even a conspicuous shirt. It looks like a band logo if anything. Probably won't even get noticed except by people in the know.

re: Runners, is this new shoe technology going to get banned like the body suits in swimming?
Posted by Ingeniero on 7/29/26 at 8:40 am to WavinWilly
Pretty much any daily trainer shoe from a major brand will be good enough for 95% of runners. I have a rotation, but I'm doing 40+ mile weeks every week. I use the Asics Novablast for daily running, Adidas Evo SL for workouts, and the Asics Superblast for anything over 10 miles.
The carbon plated stuff is really only for people wanting to race, and you'd get more bang for you buck by running more mileage than you would buying a $400 carbon shoe. The really high end ones that are being talked about also deteriorate really fast. Think NASCAR tires. They're not using them for a Sunday drive, they're using them to rip it as fast as they can for X distance.

There are a bunch of factors to it. The shoes with the carbon plates aren't more comfortable; less, if anything. They're rigid and provide better energy return when you run, which (theoretically) allows you to hit faster paces with less effort because it's converting more of your stride into forward motion than if you were running in Crocs.
We don't really know if it's ok to run in them every day because there's no long term data yet on how it changes you. Could lead to more injury, could lead to less, idk. We know pros are using them for workouts and long runs. Some people wear them every day. It's kind of preference for now.
World Athletics, who governs track and road running, has rules on how thick the sole can be and the configuration of the carbon plate. Shoes have to be under a certain thickness when measured at 12% from the heel and 75% from the heel. That's one of the loopholes I mentioned: companies will bevel the heel aggressively to make sure it's under the threshold, but that makes the shoe insanely uncomfortable and inefficient unless your foot lands a certain way:
It's pretty agreed upon that the shoes help you more if you already have an efficient stride that can use them to the maximum advantage. Joe Blow at your local 5k isn't getting as much out of them with his choppy shuffle as a Kenyan

No. They might crack down on some of the loopholes that companies are using to get around the current rules, but the shoes aren't doing anything magical like the banned swimsuits. They're basically adding more foam and a carbon plate, both within regulations, and allowing for better energy return from your stride. They aren't creating any more energy than you're putting in, they're just more efficient. The swimsuits, as far as I'm aware, were breaking records because they allowed you to be more aerodynamic and buoyant than bare skin.
A lot of people theorize that the "super shoes" are leading to records being broken because you can train harder in them without beating your legs up as much. It's not that they're magic on race day, it's that they're allowing for better prep leading up to it.

I saw another article that said he refused a breathalyzer. Lawyers: what's the move in a situation like that? Blow if you're certain you'll blow zeroes, refuse otherwise? I don't drink and drive, just curious

Lots of landlords are leeches who want all of the benefits of managing a property with none of the headaches. They need to fix that shite.

It's a relic. There are much better interchange designs that have come out since the cloverleaf. Could you imagine the headache if they had to reconstruct that one though?
Nope. Increased risk for no benefit. I'll stick with my pasteurized milk.
For a while it was more convenient and cheaper to cut the cord. Now companies have become money hungry and changed to a system where you essentially need multiple streaming platforms to watch what you want, and the combination is more expensive than cable. Back to the high seas for me.

How is this different than, say, a general search of imports for contraband?
I am being honest here, this seems like a new unanswered situation.
How is digital different from physical?
I do think it's different, but I don't know that I have a valid legal argument for it. I don't even know that this has been explored before, like you said. In my opinion, a physical search of things you're carrying is different than demanding access to your personal device.
Man charged for wiping his phone with "duress password" during airport search

The U.S. Justice Department is prosecuting an American for allegedly providing U.S. border authorities with a passcode that wiped the contents of his phone, according to an indictment and media reports.
This is thought to be the first known case in the United States where federal prosecutors have charged someone for the alleged destruction of data using a “duress” password built into a phone’s software.
quote:
Tunick’s attorneys accused the government of demanding access to his phone under the pretext of searching for child exploitation imagery, but without providing evidence to justify its suspicion. His motion to suppress argued that the government was instead investigating him over his association with a long-running environmental movement called Defend the Atlanta Forest, which opposes the development of a sprawling training campus for law enforcement in Atlanta dubbed “Cop City.”
The motion said that the border agents claimed they did not need a warrant to search Tunick’s phone because he had not yet crossed the U.S. border. The U.S. government has long claimed it can search and seize people’s devices without a search warrant or court order until they are permitted entry to the United States.
quote:
Prosecutors later charged Tunick under a federal statute that makes it unlawful to knowingly destroy or damage property to prevent authorities from seizing it. Tunick has pleaded not guilty.
re: Your Go-To Sunscreen
Posted by Ingeniero on 7/26/26 at 5:51 pm to SpotCheckBilly
+1 for the CeraVe tinted mineral. I try to avoid chemical sunscreens because I don't like the possible carcinogens in those. La Roche Posay is the best at blending in without looking like makeup but the price tag reflects that

Can you just call and schedule one of these? Do you strip down and they look you over to find anything that might be suspicious? I don't know what I'm looking for but I spend/spent a lot of time running outside with no sunscreen so it's probably worth a check.
