He entered the parliament at age 25, ensuring him a pension since the age of 31. Although he still has to be 55 to actually start collecting it. Considering how long he has been an MP, he’s probably looking at pulling in at least 100K/yr from age 55 onward.

We just replaced a somewhat studied plasticizer for an even less studied and understood one. Plasticizers never went away.

The FDA finalized a rule that will require a drug’s side effects to be "presented in a clear, conspicuous, and neutral manner.”25·2 years agoCanada has drug ads, but with special rules. You can either mention the drug name or its indication, but not both.
So you’ll get ads that say stuff like “Ozempic - ask your doctor if it’s right for you” with people happily eating in a coffeeshop. But they won’t tell you what Ozempic is supposed to do.
This is not the OG :'( I remember that bathroom, a vaguely yellow tint…
I can’t remember which episode it is, but there’s an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain’s shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.
This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of “And this one is made with tobacco, so you won’t try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke”.
I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.
