They are still allowed to call it oat milk they just can't imply that it is dairy milk in their advertising.

There's nothing particularly bad about tariffs but Trump isn't using them to protect jobs, just to punish countries.

For instance, imposing a 25% tariff on Canada is meaningless when he is proposing 100% tariffs on the EU, Japan and South Korea. He seems to think its a form of punishment and that the countries have to pay the tariff.

Elon’s maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s as they knew the Afrikaner government was a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany.

This sentence is a mess.

The Nazi part wasn't formed until the 1920s.

South Africa was run by the British in the early 20th century. The Afrikaners were at this point, completely disenfranchised after the Boer War.

It wasn't until the 1940s under the National party (yes, there were named after the German National party !). that the Afrikaners and English began to share power.

BTW, the apartheid system was designed with the help of an Indian lawyer you may have heard of - Mahatma Ghandi.

Well what are you supposed to click on, the whole traffic light or just the lights, all the blocks with a cyclist, or just the cycle, or just the blocks that are all cycle ? I've tried everything and nothing works.

The sad part is that these don’t really stop bots, captcha solver services have bot accessible APIs which can be used to solve these things for malicious actors, they pay real people pennies to solve them and sell it as a service.

Its not really intended for that, it for bots that run thousands of clicks a minute to bring the site up in a search algorithm.

The screen was only in that position or closed. There was no friction joint. You could only view the screen if you were standing up !

"Airplane" is called "Flying High" in Australia because the film it spoofed was an Australian film.

Arrests for illegal crossings from Canada spiked in the last fiscal year, but remain a fraction of the number of those from Mexico.

I don;t get it, surely its the US thats responsible for border crossings with Canada ? Its not like they're trekking across the mountains like the Von Trapps.

its a good thing the US isn't dependent on Canadian electricity or gas....

It will affect Canada a lot more.

Even with 25% tariffs, it will still be cheaper to make in Mexico. And they will no longer have to pay the workers the same as the US, as they do under USMC.
