In the US, the way milk is sold, is that larger amounts cost less. In other words, the 1/2-gallon container, buy two of those, and it costs significantly more than a single 1-gallon container. It gets even worse for quarts. But I seldom buy in the 1-gallon container as it will generally spoil before I've used it all, so there isn't any savings there for me.

Except sometimes the 1/2 gallons will be randomly on sale where you can get like 3 of them for the price of a gallon. Milk economics makes no sense to me. But yeah, it's usually cheaper to buy more than you need and just throw it out if you don't use it, as is the American way.
Inversely, I've also seen promotions where the gallon is heavily featured in the ads, and they're selling the half gallon for full price. Neat, you're paying extra to get less milk!
I can taste the mold in bread before it's grown big enough to become visible.
For most foods evolution has graced us with the ability to see, smell or taste any issues well before they actually become a problem. There are some things you have to look out for like botulism or salmonella, but for simple foods like bread and milk there isn't much point in taking precautions
Recall sounds like the kind of innovation that would come from the Trump administration or the DOGE team. Except I can't imagine the Trump administration would be this creative.
I have a copy of the CRC Standard Mathematical Tables, 27th Edition, CRC Press which I purchased as a suppliment to the text in a university calculus class I was taking. I should have picked a different year, they had both newer and older, but this one had a discounted price and was shrink-wrapped. It was also missing pages 153 - 184, which I soon discovered when I tried to look up something in the book that was listed in the table of contents, but was among the missing pages.
Someplace in there was: (in no particular order)

This looks like the infrared laser system that I worked on at a startup from 1980-1992. That system would create a full-duplex link running at either E1 or T1 speeds, with a distance limit of about 1 mile. I remember there were about a dozen systme shipped worldwide. There was one in canada. Another was sold to Alameda County, Calif. Another made a 2-path jump between some high-rises in New York City. Still another was in Malasia, used by a bank. There was also one that was located to straddle the Texas-Mexico border for a Chtsler factory to allow communications between the two factories and it wasn't 'legal' to string a cable between the buildings wuith the border being between. That one was frequently getting sent back to me for 'repair', the biggest issue being vandalism of the attached rifle scopes on the Mexico side. Which then required new rifle scopes, and a re-calibration on our field in Golden, Colo. Our company was named Telecommunication Products Inc., which was bought out by a company that was deeply involved in leasing TV-service to hotels. That's when the laser really died.
I just wish I had a hotkey that would turn everything on my screen to Liberation Sans Font, 14-pixel, Boldface and keep it there until I possibly hit another hotkey to reverse it.
If the occasional item needs to be emphasized, then it can be underlined.
