Can I still eat this? The reasoning behind food expiration dates | The mysterious disappearance of Richard Simmons | Napster and the cost of music
It’s Monday morning, and you want a bowl of cereal. But you have a problem - your milk expired Saturday. Or did it? Who decides the lifespan of food?
In 2014 Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped returning calls, emails, and texts. He stopped showing up for his fitness classes. Did he get kidnapped? Was he hiding from someone? Or was it something else?
Long before Spotify and Apple Music we downloaded music to our computers in a very different way... Illegally. With a bit of help from a company named Napster.
