Read previewAs I tucked into a bowl of wisp-thin Thai rice noodles studded with bok choy and sprinkled with fried garlic, all I could do was wax poetic about Buffalo wings. My favorite basket always came from a local dive bar in Western New York, 15 miles from Niagara Falls. I missed reliable transportation, manageable bugs, the change of seasons, my friends and family, and the Great Lakes comfort food I'd been pining for. I even realized that my definition of comfort food had changed. AdvertisementWhen I left for Thailand almost a decade ago, I imagined that I'd be going back to my "real life" after six months.

I knew he was an 'older parent,' but it didn't prepare me for his death. After all, he was older than most of my friends' parents. He was older, but he didn't act like itMy dad was 46 when I was born, and despite being an "older parent" by societal standards, he never seemed that way to me.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — “Are you feeling good today, Chiefs Kingdom?” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas shouted to a sea of football fans fresh from their town’s third Super Bowl victory in five years. At its highest moment of community pride, Kansas City experienced one of 21st-century American culture’s most traumatic events — a public mass shooting. “How," she asked, “can something go from this happy to this?”Everyone seemed to know someone who was there; that's the kind of town Kansas City is. “This is not Kansas City,” said Graves, who had stationed around 600 of her officers along the route in addition to 200 more from other agencies.

☆ SEC may have to let crypto foxes into the henhouse
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-07 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has cracked down on crypto exchanges without defining most tokens, stoking criticism that it has fostered a regulatory grey area and depressed prices. But now the agency is struggling to hire the experts it needs to keep policing the sector, partly because crypto lovers don’t want to sell their coins at depressed prices. Hiring such specialists is “critical” to probing new problems in crypto markets, the inspector general wrote. Yet supporters of bitcoin and the like have long criticized the SEC for regulating through enforcement instead of setting clear guidelines. For the SEC to do its job as best it can, it might need to replace its bad-cop routine with some good-cop action.

Garth Brooks said his Nashville bar will serve "every brand of beer" in an interview with Billboard. His comments come in the wake of a conservative backlash against Bud Light. Sales of Bud Light dropped by 23% in May, per Circana data, and lost its crown as America's best-selling beer to Modelo Especial. The singer, who also owns a bar in Nashville, filmed himself using a rifle to shoot up multiple cases of Bud Light. Brooks' bar, called Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, is set to open soon in a three-level building on Nashville's Lower Broadway.
