And something as simple as switching up the sauce gives you an entirely different-tasting meal. Many restaurants, such as Chick-fil-A, Raising Cane’s, and Zaxby’s, omit beef from their menus and focus on creative ways to serve chicken. But no one is safe from chicken burnout, and the chains have to continually up the ante to keep even its most loyal fans from becoming bored.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
