I agree, she's not the candidate I'd want leading the dems—far from it. But people are used to voting between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich as their president. Biden is something different, more agreeable than some other candidates the Dems have run. But people are seriously concerned about voting for a man who's mental acuity is declining rapidly towards senility and very possibly will not live through 2028.

Plus, I haven't read too far into it but I've heard that only Kamala would be able to use the Biden/Harris campaign war-chest. It's sad as hell that that is so important, but it is nonetheless.

That's no attempt, that's instant death.

True, I'm just saying that if someone wants to assassinate a current or former American President, that would be a massively more difficult hit.

The Abe killer was unscreened (like everyone else in attendance), and managed to walk directly up to Abe from behind and fire shots from 7, then only 5 metres away.

Regardless, meme funny.

It's not like the Japanese Prime Minister (and former Prime Ministers) don't have security, but the disparity of security compared to US Secret Service protected individuals is huge.

The fact that the killer managed to get so close to Abe without being screened is indicative of the fact that such an attack was so unexpected in Japan.

I'm hearing reporting that there is at least 1 attendee seriously injured or killed. This is still very recent, we don't have details yet.

If the goal is to do away with tipping, I don't know of another way besides banning it that will be effective.

The provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia all did away with the seperate (lesser) server wage so that all employees go by a universal minimum wage. I don't think that changed patrons' tipping habits one bit.

And servers are still reliant on the good will of people. Ain't nobody with real expenses getting by with some of these minimum wages. Not with the current cost-of-living.

Sure! All you need is a small loan of a million dollars.

I mean, this isn't an awful idea...

The real world logistics probably make this more complicated than implied, but I don't mind the intent.

Whey protein is generally the best protein you can get (in terms of amino acid profile).

There are some good vegan powders but also some real shite ones that seem to have high protein but of low quality. One with a 70% pea protein and 30% brown rice protein blend is about the closest you can get to a whey powder. I'd be skeptical of one's that don't provide an amino acid profile table beside the nutrition facts. Good chance they're inflating the total protein with poor quality sources.

Also, like someone else said, you can consider a whey protein isolate. If you aren't avoiding dairy for ethical/diet reasons and just due to lactose intolerance, good chance you can have an isolate without blowing up your bowels.
