Is your mind on your money?

Rock Auto? Probably have to wait more than 2 days for your order to arrive though.

These aren't exactly hidden gems but I'll mention them since I enjoy them.

PhilosophyTube is excellent at putting currently relevant events/topics into historical and philosophical context.

Any show/podcast with Alice Caldwell-Kelly is always entertaining including Trashfuture and Well there's your problem.

I don't think the term media literacy was used but we did learn literary criticism and how to formulate arguments in formal debate. We covered The Onion and adbusters, and we talked about identifying bias. In history class we learned the difference between primary and secondary sources and my history teacher was the first person I ever heard say "follow the money " to understand a person's motivations. We also had a theory of knowledge class which taught some basics of philosophy.

Good points, I just wanted to mention another database that is useful for finding information about supplements based on actual research studies. Unfortunately it requires a subscription but some Universities and Libraries can provide access.

Some other publications have commented on the original more recently. For example: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-11-nations-of-the-united-states-2015-7

I thought I had seen one with some more in depth historical analysis from The Atlantic or Bloomberg or something but I can't seem to find it again.

I'm far too sad and intoxicated

Yep, this man/woman is definitely a scientist working at a university.

Thanks for the information and I hope your next experiment goes well.

I can see how Coke and OJ could work. Although, I like to mix Coke and eggnog during the holidays so maybe I'm not the most trustworthy source on this topic. Also espresso and root beer on ice is quite good.
