"Whether you're a tech enthusiast, fashion trendsetter, hiker, commuter or just an eco-conscious consumer, there's a bottle out there for you," author Kim Cook writes. "There are bottles that sterilize themselves. Bottles that remind you when to drink. Bottles designed for sustainability.

I’m no economist, but from what I understand, if the recently implemented tariffs on just about every country in the world … well, except Russia … remain in place, food costs are going to go up. Possibly by a lot.
Frigid showers and dying DiCaprio

If anyone had been standing just beyond the closed bathroom door — and there are a lot of snoops and perverts roaming the world, so there may very well have been — they likely would have thought that I was gearing up to do something excruciatingly painful, like sawing off my right arm with a butter knife.
