The team also found the same problems among the rats’ offspring. And so, I guess their findings indicate that diners should change the oil in the Fryolator after every order of fried chicken? Seriously - who pays for shit like this? I gotta think somebody like Crisco maybe.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-large;">...</b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoZklcbb9qZ6Q7sDIJmEjSJU2jhPNZr9z9rKzlMMaWGOgSu9tby31zrjs2H1zzlpWdYuJvr3EjcHLne_4Kkmy8XjZhYWKRQ2NJuTavhK1AX1e_JboPPdwtiodgzSQhj8wqzN6lzq91nz96ZsXxVRTdtKlOGAXckn5s_Uy53mIC_LltD0n_q2ONW10CJg/s729/55541941_10216120760946141_42492552544832_n.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="729" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoZklcbb9qZ6Q7sDIJmEjSJU2jhPNZr9z9rKzlMMaWGOgSu9tby31zrjs2H1zzlpWdYuJvr3EjcHLne_4Kkmy8XjZhYWKRQ2NJuTavhK1AX1e_JboPPdwtiodgzSQhj8wqzN6lzq91nz96ZsXxVRTdtKlOGAXckn5s_Uy53mIC_LltD0n_q2ONW10CJg/w674-h474/55541941_10216120760946141_42492552544832_n.JPG" width="674" /></a></div><b style="color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-large;">...</b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qy8_8G0npHNQlrBHXHRXspM-A0ux6it9H1aAgZZUX-OaHLALXPrbAJBp8tlFnZCvYipxuALB7mxwL4mOK_IY5KXV7DkqC_B9cKc_GEc6l5V3W4MNo35C73OqFSPdtRqtG-xpkNIAIlbSpfOa2bfdYhfs25h0pfXCFJtjI4jIpA0ZCReFAkXM_sUfxqU/s749/55541941_10216120760946141_424921705525.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="749" height="549" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-qy8_8G0npHNQlrBHXHRXspM-A0ux6it9H1aAgZZUX-OaHLALXPrbAJBp8tlFnZCvYipxuALB7mxwL4mOK_IY5KXV7DkqC_B9cKc_GEc6l5V3W4MNo35C73OqFSPdtRqtG-xpkNIAIlbSpfOa2bfdYhfs25h0pfXCFJtjI4jIpA0ZCReFAkXM_sUfxqU/w731-h549/55541941_10216120760946141_424921705525.JPG" width="731" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">Have you ever thought about where the term Wi-Fi comes from? Most people would logically assume it’s a shortened version of some highly technical description for the tech that allowed computers to access the internet wirelessly. But those people are wrong. The term 'Wi-Fi' isn’t an abbreviated version of wireless fidelity, as many people believe. Wi-Fi is actually a play on words on Hi-Fi, the term was coined in the '50s by audio equipment manufacturers as a shortened version of “high fidelity.” But there’s no such thing as wireless fidelity. It’s just a snappy name invented by marketers. And you wonder why I'm here doing this blog thing...</span></div><b style="color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-large;">...</b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZA9RRC5PzuhJdVbhjUR6PjrupnRfo20JCNNPkIL0X6UlLWSqjLlCxK97pqrqOKmnCOmiImxk8P0HU5U6vvqP1RWYaG2gTozPXJzmALUdah0V4S7bQ-ZvgnEfuHSnECobxjhDfFJgIK4HAksTPoEk9Ev2x5xwA_SUjJk-qscF2U7DyUjteKoeJlHfOaGU/s1159/366988.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="555" data-original-width="1159" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZA9RRC5PzuhJdVbhjUR6PjrupnRfo20JCNNPkIL0X6UlLWSqjLlCxK97pqrqOKmnCOmiImxk8P0HU5U6vvqP1RWYaG2gTozPXJzmALUdah0V4S7bQ-ZvgnEfuHSnECobxjhDfFJgIK4HAksTPoEk9Ev2x5xwA_SUjJk-qscF2U7DyUjteKoeJlHfOaGU/w740-h354/366988.jpg" width="740" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: xx-large;">...</b><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BjacksonJewelry" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="296" data-original-width="876" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiljrqJP9CR_uj1ukzYrQfpFWUZGk41HVHhR3VUR1WMXWGZDo4M8_F5r0A1ZQfSHnu3S_Oz9Uns4U4xMOOC3wE9panMYhyphenhyphen9j8xQK3lr1bnJVvDNMqzukI9-p-f_0ufxQzOXqz01m_z7jo3fLxb8mhG-1p3g1iszIHXs0B3FGSF_XcV_OY1lwCI9tysheok/w545-h184/_A1n,mfaa.JPG" width="545" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Architects Daughter; font-size: xx-small;"><b><i> </i></b></span><b style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Architects Daughter";"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">She's added a lot of new items.

Automakers and dealerships, however, <i>would be prohibited from selling new gas vehicles in states where bans are in place.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">Rhode Island was the most recent state to join the group with plans to ban sales of new gas-powered cars. A statement from the governor's office in May called the move "a pivotal moment in Rhode Island’s efforts to fight climate change."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">California was the first state to adopt the Advanced Clean Cars II rule, which at least seven other states have now embraced.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">California's plans specify that 35% of new car sales will need to be zero-emission vehicles by 2026, with that number rising to 68% by 2030.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">In a March 2023 statement announcing Maryland's plan to phase out sales of new gas-powered cars, Gov. Wes Moore said “it’s a major step in the state’s acceleration to improve air quality and combat the effects of climate change.”</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">All of the planned bans are in coastal states: In addition to the three states already mentioned, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia have made the commitment to stop allowing sales of new gas-powered vehicles after 2035.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">Generally, the states' plans have not required votes from their legislatures. Instead, they’ve been advanced with support from governors and environmental regulators.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;">You can read all about this craziness just by googling 'eight states ev' or read <b><i><u><a href="https://money.com/states-banning-gas-powered-cars/" target="_blank">this</a></u></i></b>.</span></div></div>Joe Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13798581620504667520noreply@blogger.com5
