This is correct. Web dev is told to make sure ads load before content. They don’t want users that don’t generate profits.

Is it that they spice the patties or something else? What’s the liklihood their burgers are mixed meat? Like maybe goat + beef?

Predatory fish like tuna accumulate extra mercury by eating other fish.

Sardine (Wikipedia): :

Because they are low in the food chain, sardines are low in contaminants, such as mercury, relative to other fish commonly eaten by humans, and have a relatively low impact in production of greenhouse gases.

For comparison (bluefin tuna):

since bluefins require so much food per unit of weight gained, up to 10 times that of salmon, if bluefins were to be farmed at the same scale as 21st-century salmon farming, many of their prey species might become depleted

They used to limit the number of stations/outlets anyone could own. That limit ensured a multitude of ‘voices’ could be heard. That went away under Clinton. Before that they’d also enforced the more questionable Fairness Doctrine, but that died under Reagan.

Gomez further criticized the FCC for overstepping its authority in “intervening in employment matters reserved for other government entities with proper jurisdiction on these issues” by requiring Skydance commitments to not establish any DEI programs, which Carr derided as “invidious.” But Gomez countered that “this agency is undermining legitimate efforts to combat discrimination and expand opportunity” by meddling in private companies’ employment decisions.

That’s Fascism!

You can argue that requiring equal opportunity programs were also government overreach, but even a cursory look at the history of those programs shows they were done to combat a deep history of racism combined with the statistics and figures proving discrepencies. Equal opportunity programs were publicly debated and approved to solve a problem. This is being done without review or evidence at the whim of the administration.

I’d love to do it nearly-daily, but it is expensive and I typically don’t have most the ingredients on-hand. Right now I have a huge amount of watermelon and a bit of salami, but no suitable cheese or veg., and it takes so much time and planning to get everything together it just doesn’t happen except for large gatherings.

Antipasto or charcuterie with grilled veg, crostini or other bread, cheese and maybe some meat (salami or such) – but particularly grilled asparagus. Something like this:

@diegantobass@lemmy.world has the best answer. Write a letter. Tell him stuff you remember doing together. Maybe include a physical printed photo of the two of you and/or the family together.

Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car’s tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, ‘ice storms, earthquakes,… and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.’

Is your wife from somewhere very isolated or exotic? Or does she simply want you to add more variety to your discourse? Toh-may-toh/Toh-mah-toh

“Silliness leads to tears” typically said after energetic goofiness has led to an ‘owie’.

Bonus: Grandparents were fond of “Children should be seen and not heard.”

After reading the piece and seeing no explanation for why Farrell would be so angry, I found this quote from his wife about what happened:

“He felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band,” Etty wrote in her post. “Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row, started complaining up to Perry cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it.”

DNA from three people: the two biological parents plus a third person who supplies healthy mitochondrial DNA. The babies were born to mothers who carry genes for mitochondrial diseases and risked passing on severe disorders. The eight babies are healthy, say the researchers behind the trial.

That’s gonna mess up how we trace ancestry.

When we mean the bad ones, it’d be, “My nightmare has come true.”

… seems like every news story evokes that thought these days.

Research suggests that how a body reacts to a vaccine is altered by the type of microbiome a person has. Studies on the Covid-19 vaccine, for example, suggest it affected the snot’s microbiome, and in turn, the microbiome affected how efficient the vaccine was.

I hope those researchers get paid extra.

The researchers asked 22 adults to shoot themselves up the nose with a syringe full of snot from healthy friends and partners each day for five days. They discovered that symptoms like cough and facial pain, for instance, dropped by almost 40% for up to three months in at least 16 of the patients.

<shudder> There’s no way those 22 could have been paid enough.

The researchers examined about 222,000 menu items from over 2,000 restaurants in Boston, about 1.6 million menu items from roughly 9,000 restaurants in Dubai, and about 3.1 million menu items from about 18,000 restaurants in London. In Boston, about 71 percent of the items were in the USDA database; in Dubai and London, that figure was 42 percent and 56 percent, respectively.

So only 3 cities, with London getting the best dataset.

In Dubai, the researchers did not have the same types of health data available but did observe a strong correlation between rental prices and the nutritional value of neighborhood-level food, suggesting that wealthier residents have better nourishment options.

This makes a case for “correlation does not mean causation”. The title usues the word “link”, but it sounds like poor neighborhoods have cheap restaurants because that’s what customers can afford, which is just another way of saying there’s a correlation between obesity and low incomes.

The research moves toward evaluating the complex mix of food available in any given area, which can be true even of areas with more limited options.

Okay, I appreciate that this is now adding to the data about what food options are available. So even though it sounds like something we already knew, having more proof from a different view is a Good Thing.

Notice that A is obesity prevalence and F is housing prices, which we’d expect to be opposites. There seems to be correlation with A and C. It would be easier to read all of this if F was reversed to ‘lowest housing rates’ or some such.

Edit: above image of the London breakdown is from the cited paper which also breaks down the same factors for Boston and Dubai.

I’ve played this game enough that I’m tired of it. New DLC won’t change my mind.

The game got me to figure out that I don’t want to play a game where the people are always going to be really unhappy no matter how far I advance. If I’m playing a city/world builder, I want a game where my advancment also means things are better for the NPCs. In this game, my advancement means I can start with some tiny different perks, but nost of those are wiped out by Prestige runs, so the NPCs have really brutal conditions all the time. And if things start going well? Poof! You’re on to the next town before you can enjoy the last one.

Step 3 is advertising. The AI has your address and sees what you’re buying. This is going straight to marketers.

Ah, yes, I remember those days with the text-only LYNX browser from the unix terminal and the joy of Netscape Navigator on machines that could handle windows. Searching was difficult until there was Alta Vista, which was AMAZING compared to the competition, but even it failed for D&D-style gamers who tried to search for “role playing games” and got back a list of a million sex sites and zero visible pen/paper/dice games. Happily, you could add boolean operator rules to get rid of some of that (NOT sex NOT babes NOT XXX) – but you’d either be typing a lot of naughty words to skip or you’d have to remember the sites that catered to RPGs because searching could be very hit or miss.
