Smell is a huge part of what we consider "taste", and coffee isn't the only example. How much of the "taste" of the baked goods we enjoy is based on the smell of vanilla and cinnamon and sugar?
Why does coffee taste like it smells? A new brain imaging study uncovers a brain region that blends smell and taste into the sensation of flavor. https://t.co/XZ3S01S3nT

I gave a lot of reasons why those carriers who rely on non-domiciled holders will end up either shutting down or downsizing following the new requirements. But I found out about another reason yesterday. The carriers in question had a "source" of drivers that made it easier for

He's been right about China for decades.
China is blowing up the US electronics market. No rare earth metals = no more "Muh AI" bubble lol.

Hakeem Jeffries just got wrecked on CNBC. You don’t get to shut down the government because you don’t like the outcome of an election. That’s not leadership—that’s a tantrum. https://t.co/Svg7BkZEfP

Fitting end for a traitor.
🏛️Today 19AD Germanicus died. He was a member of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. He was adopted (4AD) by his uncle Emperor Tiberius. In 15AD Germanicus attacked Germania in retaliation of the Roman defeat at the battle of Teutoburg Forest & defeated the Germanic Alliance under

You think I don't mourn them? I do. I had relatives among them, especially in the Royal Navy, who either died in the sands of North Africa or spent years in POW camps, the French and British ones run by sadists. When the Americans first took over it was like a miracle had saved
@ElenaCorti5 @hair_harbor @witte_sergei You have the monuments across the country for CADUTI PER LA PATRIA in Russia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia and Libya. Shameless

Indeed. France caved immediately. Half of it under Marshal Petain was allied with the Germans, and the other half collaborated. The number of partisans was much smaller than that in Italy. Yet, they were one of the Allies because a small group under DeGaulle declared they
@ElenaCorti5 @witte_sergei So the question then is: what concession did france endure for being an axis power for four years?

Every single church leader who attended that meeting should be reprimanded. I'd also check extra thoroughly their records on rooting out the abuse of young men in churches under their supervision.
When homosexualists such as James Martin proclaim 'Let’s allow love to be expressed' what they really mean is that the Church should reject divine revelation and accept sodomy Sodomy is that important to them In the 11th century St.Peter Damian warned that sodomites are

Unfortunately, most, like Al Capone, were indeed the kind of men who would beat you to death with a baseball bat. Still, in almost all cases, their brutality was strictly applied to other mob figures or affiliates, not to "innocent" bystanders, or even the families of the
Marlon Brando turned down The Godfather repeatedly because he didn’t want to glamorize crime. When he accepted, he said, “I thought it would be interesting to play as gentleman, unlike Al Capone, who beat people with baseball bats.”

Turkey 🇹🇷 by now should already have an average income higher than Italy 🇮🇹 or Germany 🇩🇪. The main reason they have not – yet – is that so many Turks 🇹🇷 sadly believe in those idiocies. To become wealthy you have to be future oriented. History has to teach you wisdom, not money
Nope. You're confusing violations with sovereign rights. This is Türkiye’s air and sea jurisdiction — fully legitimate under international law. The Blue Homeland.

Thank-you. Someone who knows what he's talking about.
@hair_harbor @ElenaCorti5 @witte_sergei The Italian partisans had been fighting vs Mussolini, the Allied invasion provided the support they needed to overthrow Mussolini, who formed the “Republic of Salo” and kept fighting until his death. The Italians did not “see the writing on the wall” they had a civil war.

I don’t know how companies thought this would go on forever People rioted over less This is a bad look
Another FedEx employee writes that he lost a great engineer who couldn’t find a role internally, and sent a screenshot showing only 3 open roles on their intranet as opposed to the 64 shown on the guest visa job boards.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis Missouri holds 41.5 million hand-placed glass & gold mosaic pieces, covering 83,000 sq ft, the largest mosaic collection in the world outside Russia. Every surface shimmers with Byzantine & Italian artistry. It is is an American masterpiece.

Last Saturday was the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. Even if you're not Catholic or even Christian, you really should go, and not just for the art, although it's stupendous, or the town, which is lovely, as is the food, but to see real faith in action. The Lower Basilica,

How did Europe, especially, get here???
Yuval Noah Harari, senior advisor to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, has laid bare the ultimate endgame of the technocratic elite. In a chilling explanation, he described the "Social Credit System" not as a dystopian fantasy, but as the logical evolution of money—and
