Experts on Wall Street are cautioning that the upcoming presidential election will be critical for tax policies and their impact on the markets. Concerns about higher deficits and the potential implications of a second Trump presidency have led to spikes in Treasury yields. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered corporate tax rates and individual tax rates, is set to expire next year. While Trump's presidency could potentially extend these tax cuts, some pros warn that it may not guarantee a positive outcome for investors, as bond vigilantes and concerns about increasing debt could still impact the market. Both sides of the aisle are showing hesitance towards extending tax cuts due to worries about the growing fiscal deficit.

A discussion on washing rice before cooking it has sparked on PTT, where opinions vary on how many times rice should be washed. While some believe washing until the water turns clear indicates cleanliness, others argue that washing until the starch disappears is necessary, with some claiming that better washing leads to better rice texture. However, experts suggest a quick rinse and controlling the amount of water, recommending typically only 2 to 3 washes. It's emphasized that rice washing should be gentle without excessive rubbing, and ideally limited to 2-3 times for quality rice grains, as over-washing may lead to nutrient loss.

Many seafood enthusiasts often store fresh fish at home but are puzzled by the yellowing of frozen fish. The Fisheries Agency explains that the yellowing is due to the oxidation of the oils in the fish upon exposure to air. While low-temperature storage can slow down the oxidation process, it cannot completely prevent it. If there is air present during storage, the oils in the fish will continue to oxidize, causing the color change. Despite modern technology allowing for good preservation of fish freshness, the issue of yellowing persists even when fish are stored in the freezer at home.
