I've always liked Wheat Thins or dry cereal - Honey Nut Cheerios have been a regular go-to. My wife prefers unsalted pretzels or Cheez-Its.

He's pretty easy to hate, in my opinion, especially knowing some of the later things that happen. Though there's a significant number of people that love the villain, too.

IIRC, "quid pro quo" is "something for something" as a mostly-literal translation, but "this for that" would be a workable localization in most contexts that imply an exchange between two parties. Here, though, it's one party replacing their own thing with something else, so I'm not sure it'd work.

Most will probably wait to see how the '26 World Cup and the following election go. If boycotts do happen, I wouldn't expect announcements until late '27 or early '28. Announcing too early risks losing face if nobody joins them and/or retaliation from this regime.

This actually makes me wonder how hard it would be to build a Bluetooth speaker/microphone combo in that style of casing. Pair it with your regular phone and you've got a pretty decent display prop, at least.

Miss Mess is a curmudgeon, but at 18 and having lost all but one tooth over the years, she's kinda earned the right to be.

For our cat, her schedule is once a month/30 days. It can vary a bit, depending on your cat's size or progression, but that's a conversation to have with your vet when the need arises.
And it doesn't have a human equivalent that I know of, but I haven't needed to research that yet, thankfully.

Our elderly floof has been on Solensia for about three years now, and it's been life-changing for her. Without it, I'm certain we'd have had to say goodbye long ago. Absolutely worth the money every time.
