Taco Bell pulls lettuce from US menu after links to severe diarrhoea outbreak

Taco Bell has removed lettuce from its menu across the United States after the ingredient was linked to cases of explosive diarrhoea among customers. The chain said lettuce from a single supplier is being pulled indefinitely "out of an abundance of caution." It is the latest high-profile food contamination incident to hit the US fast food industry.

Should Taco Bell have acted sooner on reports of contaminated lettuce?

"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" streams free on Pluto TV

"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" (2023), the seventh film in the franchise, is currently the top title on Pluto TV's domestic chart and is available to stream for free. The series was helmed by Michael Bay for nearly a decade until he admitted overstaying his welcome; after the fifth film underperformed, Paramount rebooted the franchise with a new director.

Was rebooting the Transformers franchise without Michael Bay the right call?

"Breathing espresso" — one minute of breathwork can replace your coffee

Breathing therapists are increasingly promoting a technique called "breathing espresso" — a short, conscious breathwork exercise said to quickly boost focus and energy without caffeine. The practice involves a series of dynamic inhalations and exhalations that stimulate the nervous system and can be done anywhere: at home, the office or in a car. Proponents say the effect rivals a shot of espresso, minus the caffeine side effects.

Can breathing exercises effectively replace coffee as an energy boost?

One tablespoon of water per egg makes fluffier scrambled eggs

Adding one tablespoon of water per egg is a simple trick for light, fluffy scrambled eggs instead of a dense, rubbery result. The water turns to steam during cooking, aerating the egg mixture and giving it a softer texture. The ratio is easy to remember and requires no extra ingredients.

Does adding water to scrambled eggs really make them fluffier?

Polish companies buy up family businesses in Western Europe

A growing number of Polish entrepreneurs are successfully acquiring traditional family-owned businesses in Germany and other Western European countries. As Marek Czarkowski writes in "Tygodnik Przegląd", Polish businesspeople who built their own companies from scratch better understand family business logic and earn greater trust from sellers than large corporations do. This makes it easier for them to convince founding owners to sell while preserving the company's identity.

Are Polish entrepreneurs better buyers of Western family businesses than large corporations?

Science still cannot pinpoint the origins of the Slavic peoples

The origins of the Slavic peoples remain one of the unresolved questions of historical science. Slavs are today the largest group of European Indo-Europeans, yet researchers have not conclusively determined where they came from or where their original homeland was. The subject is particularly sensitive in Poland for reasons of national identity and history.

Should the origins of the Slavs be a priority for historical research in Poland?

Aggressive ads in free Android apps are destroying the ecosystem Google built

The once-fair model of free Android apps — a small banner ad in exchange for full functionality — has been replaced by aggressive full-screen ads and interstitials that disrupt usability. Developers increasingly prioritise ad revenue over user experience, while Google appears to be doing nothing to address the problem. Users are left choosing between paying for premium versions or abandoning apps altogether.

Should Google limit the number of ads allowed in free Android apps?

David Bowie's Debut Album: A Must-Have for Every Fan

Before Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, there was a young, ambitious David Bowie from London searching for his own identity. His debut album, often overlooked, shows a different side of the artist before he redefined pop culture. The article makes a case for including this early record in every Bowie fan's collection as a window into his formative years.

Does Bowie's early work deserve as much attention as his iconic albums?

IRS has not yet issued guidance on how to tax prediction market winnings

The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not yet issued any guidance on how winnings from prediction markets such as Polymarket or Kalshi should be taxed. Experts say the lack of federal direction leaves both the reporting method and the applicable tax rate unclear for participants. Taxpayers must currently interpret existing rules on their own, creating a risk of errors and potential disputes with tax authorities.

Should the IRS urgently issue guidance on taxing prediction market winnings?

Inherited car can only be sold after probate is completed

A car inherited from a deceased family member can only be legally sold once probate is formally completed and ownership legally transferred. Until then, the vehicle sits unused, loses value and still requires mandatory third-party liability insurance. Heirs can speed up the process through a simplified court procedure or a notarial certificate of inheritance.

Are Polish inheritance procedures too slow when it comes to inheriting a vehicle?
