I’m not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We’re starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.

Your timeline is incorrect. 15 years ago was 2009, when CFLs were most common. A 60W equivalent CFL was 13W and 100W equivalent was 23W. My house was still mostly incandescent bulbs with some CFLs for bulbs that had died and weren’t on a dimmer. Commercial LED bulbs intended for residential use only started being released in 2009-2010 with incentive from the US government.

That illustration is more than just a strain lol
- Comment on brains! 4 weeks ago:
That phrase first came out when incandescent bulbs were the most common, so they consumed like 60W vs 7W for an equivalent LED bulb. The brain is somewhere around 20W.
- Comment on flouride 4 weeks ago:
A study in Canada was published in 2019 looking at the differences between 2 neighboring cities where on stopped fluoridating water in 2011. They saw that saw a significant increase in cavities in children in the city that stopped fluoridating vs the other. This is despite the fact the the city without fluoridation actually has somewhat higher adherence to brushing, flossing, and going to the dentist. No difference was seen yet in permanent teeth, but that’s because the study would need more time to see effects there.

Of course, we still should do more studies on fluoride neurotoxicity. Most studies look at levels of fluoride at 1.5mg/L or higher, which is more than double the recommended level by the US (0.7 mg/L). There is a hard limit in the US of 4mg/L, but the EPA strongly recommends a limit of 2mg/L. This only really matters for locations with very high levels of fluoride in the groundwater, and is thus quite rare. The EU’s limit is 1.5mg/L.
- Comment on flouride 4 weeks ago:
Fluoride in the water is beneficial in the pre-eruptive phase (when teeth are still growing). Fluoride ingestion increases tooth resistence to cavities if the ingestion happened while they were growing.
This does mean that fluoride in water isn’t really useful after you have all your permanent teeth though.

Most popular chili recipes have cocoa powder as an ingredient now. Adds a nice bit of earthiness to the chili.

- Comment on Deadlock (Valve's Unannounced Title) Passes 12k Peak Players in Closed Alpha 4 months ago:
It literally has the second most concurrent players of any game on Steam at the moment and still has over half of the concurrent player numbers compared to its peak 8 years ago.

That is no where near the worst traffic circle in NJ. There was one way worse near where I lived. It had like 3 lanes and a stop sign that gave priority to people entering the circle vs people already in it. I’ve heard of so many crashes happening there
- Comment on $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players 6 months ago:
Mainly because Steam actually provides a really good quality service. Most corporations over time charge more while getting worse on quality. People can sell their games for cheaper on Epic which only has a 12% fee, but Epic’s service is much worse.

They don’t really though. They’re talking about selling steam keys in a different platform, not selling the game on a different platform (like Epic Games for instance). You can sell the game for cheaper on Epic or GOG if you want to.
