Now Constellation Brands, which owns the Modelo brand in America, also finds itself a victim of the country’s rightward lurch. According to the company, Hispanic customers, who make up half its total, are staying home and drinking less as they fear being swept up in the federal government’s mass deportations.

For this story, I looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. I also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I’m recommending.

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and create hydrogen sulfide as a product. Yet while the cells were technically alive in this state, they didn’t grow or replicate. They were making a small amount of energy—just enough to stay alive, nothing more. “The cell was just sitting there spinning its wheels without…
