“Researchers did a deep dive on 17 preservatives consumed by at least 10% of the participants and found 11 of those had no relationship with cancer. However, the six that were linked to cancer are considered GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe” in food by the [US Food and Drug Administration] Those include sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate, sorbates, potassium metabisulfite, acetates and acetic acid.”

There are some lemmy instances that have dine just that I believe! You could ask them

Agreed. I think the fact that discord kind of does all the things is what made it attractive. But it’s not GOOD at the forum aspect, and it has its flaws for the other use cases as well.

Isn’t it though? A forum wouldn’t do all the things discord does, but the argument is that trying to use discord for a forum was a mistake in the first place. So replacing discord with a forum and then a dedicated chatting app makes sense, no?

It seems that depending on the type of glass and the direction of the waves (longitudinal, shear, or Extensional) the speed of sound in glass can be between 2300-6000 m/s

Longitudinal is the type we normally think of though, and that is between 3900-5600 m/s. Which is still much more variation than I was expecting.

The speed of sound in air is around 340 m/s depending on temperature.

So if the op is correct about the speed, then it seems the cracks propagate slower than the speed of sound in glass.

Well it isn’t like Japan is invading China. Seems like they just want to make it clear they will in fact respond if China tries something with Taiwan. Japan doesn’t have to beat China, they just have to make it not worth it. And they’d have Taiwan and hopefully the US supporting them in that effort.

Supplements aren’t governed by our Food and Drug Admin and therefore aren’t required to be tested and up to code. Land of the free over here lol

You might enjoy the book Project Hail Mary if you haven’t read it!

I disagree. I don’t think it whipped back and forth at all, I think it was pretty solidly foreshadowed, even from episode one. Who was acting unreasonable? Eren? That’s very clearly and explicitly stated to be him doing so on purpose. The rest of the cast seemed to act in accordance with their history from my view.

I also don’t feel like the Ymir lore was forced. I mean obviously there’s going to be some fantastical element to the lore of a show with titans and magic and such, so that part aside, I thought her story was really heartbreaking and encapsulated the themes the show was hammering home the whole time.

I think the time travel stuff was a bit fucky, which is one of my biggest criticisms of the show, and I also felt like Mikassa’s character should have had a better arc. I didn’t like the deus ex machina of Falco coming in to save the day with the people who didn’t want to be there, but the rest of it felt like a pretty satisfying conclusion to an incredible show.

To each their own of course, no shade or anything.

I disagree with OP that it’s a bad ending. I think it ties it up well, and explains why the characters acted the way they did. There’s a lot going on and it’s easy to miss details that might make things seem like they come out of nowhere, but I think it was well done personally

I think there are those people for sure, but this instance seems more in line with what the corporations are doing. I doubt the DOJ and the people responsible for this decision care one way or the other about the reality of the situation. They care about what hurts their “profits” which in this case isn’t money so much as political capital.

I think the issue in this case is that the range of this specific car and battery doesn’t convey the impact of the battery innovation. If they gave an example of the range with that car and battery size using current battery tech to demonstrate the improvement, I think that would be more helpful.

Thank the fucking tax software lobbies for that. Assholes

Probably the same reason the media does most things, it gets clicks. I agree with you though, I know people that have a huge number of guns, but they collect them, and it doesn’t make them any more dangerous than some guy with 2 unless they’re trying to arm a group of people with old hunting rifles and weirdly specific revolvers of all different calibers.

Yeah clone hero is pretty sick. It can do drums too, and you can get it to work with a real electronic kit

Do you have more specific product examples?

Gone are the days of well educated elites. Now we have the scourge that is the putrified remains of ruling class’s shit.

Enlightened self interest? How about unchecked greed and moral bankruptcy instead?

You’re doing the gods’ work

I think there’s a lot of great ideas in here, but I’d start with the stuff that, when you need it, you need it now.

Something I didn’t see mentioned yet was a wrench to turn your water off at the line that goes into your house. If you’re on a well, then whatever tools you’d need to turn that valve off. If you spring a bad leak you want to shut that off asap

A few other things that seem like good things to have BEFORE you need them

• Plunger and drain snake (Good to have both, sometime the plunger won’t cut it, but it’s much easier to use a plunger if that’s all you need)
• First aid kit
• Fire extinguisher
• Carbon monoxide/smoke detectors
• Spare keys, give them to people you trust or hide them really well so you don’t have to break in if you get locked out
• A big bucket for leaks, mopping, etc
• ladder
• Generator if you can afford it
• Emergency bag with food, water, flashlight, spare batteries, cheap phone, list of numbers, map, first aid kit, etc

Those are the kinds of things I’d look to buying first since anything else you can just go get when you need it.

Small pet peeve of mine, wd40 is NOT a lubricating oil, it’s a penetrating oil, and a cheap one at that.

Penetrating oil is what you use when things are stuck. It will dissolve whatever old oil or grease was in a joint, and flush it away, and it can be useful for rust removal as well, but it is NOT protective. Get some kind of protective oil like silicone, lithium grease, or balistol for lubrication and protection.
