07 Nov 2024

Description

How do you decide when to throw food out? If you go by the date printed on the package, you could be wasting a lot of money. Listen as this episode begins with an understanding of what those dates mean and when you can ignore them. https://www.greenvillebusinessmag.com/2024/02/01/478977/sell-by-use-by-best-by-food-experts-decipher-the-meaning-of-expiration-dates The real fascination with UFOs began with one incident in 1947. Ever since then, there have been endless sightings of objects flying in the sky and people wondering what they are and could they be alien spacecraft? The U.S. government is also very interested in UFOs and is constantly looking skyward to try and find and figure them out. So, what are the facts? What are UFOs? What is Area 51? Are we alone? Here with some thoughtful answers to these questions is Garrett Graff. He is a former editor for Politico, a contributor to Wired and CNN, and as an author was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. His latest book is titled UFO: The Inside Story of the US Government's Search for Alien Life Here―and Out There (https://amzn.to/3NNsmMd) Grace. It’s hard to define it in a person but you know when you see it. Generally, it is an admirable quality and most of us could probably use a bit more of it. Here to explain grace and tell some wonderful stories of grace in action is Julia s Baird. She is an Australian journalist, broadcaster, and author of the book Bright Shining: How Grace Changes Everything (https://amzn.to/4f54EqF).

Also, what to do if your dog gets into a fight with another dog. And understanding grace. It's a wonderful human quality, but it's hard to define.

To me, at the heart of grace is something that is undeserved. You will be loving the unlovable, forgiving the unforgivable. You'll be showing mercy instead of measuring merit. You'll be giving people the benefit of the doubt, not judging them by their worst possible moment.

Christian Bale was preparing for his role in American Psycho, dressing the part, hitting the gym for the first time in his life, even getting his teeth redone. There was just one problem. He didn't actually have the part. Leonardo DiCaprio did. Listen to our podcast, What Went Wrong, every other week as we unearth the chaos behind Hollywood's biggest movie flops and most shocking successes.

Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.

105.244 - 127.688 Mike Carruthers

Hi, and welcome to Something You Should Know. So when you throw out food... Food that's clearly rotten, bad, sitting at the bottom of the refrigerator for six months. Okay, you know to throw that away. But what about some of the other food, the questionable food? Most of us use the date on the food label to determine whether to keep it or toss it.

128.268 - 150.519 Mike Carruthers

But experts say Americans throw out billions of pounds of perfectly good food every year because of those confusing labels. The sell-by date on a package is intended for the retailer, not for you, and it winds up misleading a lot of us. Many dates printed on the food we buy are actually meaningless when it comes to freshness or safety.
