HEB's reputation never ceases to amaze me.
I used to use Macy's as a general bellwether of quality, but I believe in recent years (decades?) they have introduced more inexpensive items to compete for the Target demographic, so I would not blindly trust them any longer.
Similar to REI, though, there are specialty stores like Fleet Feet and Road Runner Sports that stick to well respected brands. You cannot really make a bad purchase there, but just in case, they also have knowledgeable staff who can guide you to specifically what you need. The downside is that piece of mind comes with a price: price.

I run marathons and always pack peanut butter so I do not have to worry about finding some at my destination. It is part of a traditional race day breakfast.
The TSA had been restricting peanut butter container size for quite a while--I guess it was just unofficially until now.
Edit: I package it in multiple 2oz condiment "to go" containers.

NEH either, but that seems like it would be an obvious solution. There is no particular need for it to be on a different screw except for convenience.
Another solution is just to use a shorter screw.

Reply to This little-known firm with a weird website was central to the misappropriation of FTX customers' money, regulators say by RaiderOfZeHater
>North Dimension was where FTX customers were told to wire money if they wanted to trade on its exchange, according to a complaint filed Wednesday by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
>:::
>North Dimension was no Crazy Eddie of crypto. The website is rife with misspellings and bizarre product prices; for example, item listings sometimes showed “sale” prices that were hundreds of dollars above a regular price. And customers finding their way to the site may have had trouble actually buying products once they got there. Clicking on a laptop, say, would generate this pop-up: “Fee free to send a message. We collaborate with ambitious brands and people; we’d love to build something great together.”
People trusted this company with millions of dollars of their wealth? What do the poorly run exchanges look like?

Reply to comment by Scuka1 in ELI5: What do food product labels that say “whole wheat” or “100% whole grain wheat” mean? Are these better for health? by acousticentropy
While I would agree that the phrasing "using buzzwords to trick you" is a bit much, I believe the poster is essentially making the same point /u/ACMEPrinting did a little later. In the US, the FDA does not have any specific label requirements that differentiate "wheat flour" from "whole wheat flour" from "100% whole grain wheat". They make recommendations, but the manufacturer ultimately can use whatever language they want. The onus is on the consumer to check the nutrition label.

Reply to TIL Singapore’s constitution requires the President to have experience as a minister - or as CEO of a large, profitable company. by ltdanhasnolegs
They also cannot be a member of any political party on the date of their nomination for election. But that is because the President is largely a ceremonial office.
Singapore is a de facto dictatorship run by the People's Action Party and its Prime Minister. In the last 60+ years, there have only been three different Prime Ministers ruling Singapore.

I only saw the first episode and thought it was meh. The stories and characters just were not as engaging as the Tolkien movies. And, sure it looked cinematic, but not $500M cinematic. The Mandalorian had a polished look as well, and cost 1/5 as much.

Reply to If I can stand on a fireplace mantel for 5 minutes without feeling any instability is this a good enough sign that it can probably support objects up to my weight? by MAIRJ23
The honest answer is no, that test would be insufficient to verify the weight capacity. Under ideal conditions an aluminum can can support your weight for five minutes.
A properly anchored mantel, though, can support 50lbs per stud (18"). So if your mantel was installed right and is of standard width, it should be able to hold 150+lbs.

I speculate that it is because they were not targeting any particular individual, just firing shots indiscriminately where they thought the migrants were hiding.
Edit: Hey! I did not charge the people with manslaughter, the DA did. I am just putting forth a possible reason why, in answer to the question.
