Costco now selling platinum bars.
Takes up the same space, is cheaper so more will sell, and they can have better margins
Most importantly. The fever for all real things/metals is spreading.
If your mom thought owning a bar of gold was cool… wait until she buys 3 platinum ones for the same price.

This is proof that the country is worried about the dollar and inflation. Is Costco secretly seeding their customers with gold to ensure they can buy future goods?
If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box.
The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year.
A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease.
Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk."
One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks.
If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different ...

We still don’t know what product is causing this outbreak, however, given the fact we have seen so many cases in Michigan, it leads me to believe it’s a large foodservice product because Michigan is a central distribution hub. We’ve also seen it across various states so it’s not an isolated variety of local produce. I’m guessing bagged lettuce. If you want to play it safe cook all your produce at this point and don’t eat bagged lettuce mix.
