Any word on if this impacts nutrition?
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
It’s a consumer co-op (barely) not an worker co-op.

Clearly you weren’t paying attention in English.

Obviously if he did say no, they wouldn’t make him eat it. But the thing is, he’s not gonna say no, because of the implication.

I’m literally taking hydroxychloroqine right now. There’s no difficulty in accessing it. Not unless you consider needing a prescription difficult.

Didn’t BlueSky come up with their own federation system because… Fuck you?
I mean, what was wrong with using the ActivityPub standard?

Lego would like a word with you.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 5 weeks ago:
I want to expand on your expansion of my glib comment. While taxing the poor and working class at a higher proportional rate is obviously immoral, it’s also bad economic policy. The working class are essentially the “engine” of the economy. Their income circles back into the greater economy at a much higher rate than a rich person’s. The harder you tax them, more more you slow down the economy. While is technically true for any tax bracket, you can tax the rich much more aggressively with very little impact on the overall economy, because so much of their money is for toys.
We’re actually seeing a big problem right now, with so many billionaires they are running out of decent places to put their money that’s worth their time. We have way too many billionaires and not enough millionaires and small business owners. A billionaire will never invest in your taco truck, but the local “fairly rich” guy might. The billionaires are betting big on AI, in part, because they have no other bets they can make. We need to tax their asses way more aggressively and pump that money into micro businesses to make our economies robust.
(While I’m speaking about the US in particular, this is somewhat of a global trend.)

I’m pretty sure it’s actually short for chili con carne, tomates, espinaca, frijoles, maíze, arroz, más frijoles, calabacín, brócoli, pimientos verdes, comino, chipotle, y pimentón ahumado.

People listing Hawaii like they could meet the total US demand, even if they could scale to maximum production overnight.
Most of the corn we eat is Brazilian. Most of the corn we grow is feed corn for cows and process corn for HFCS and other processed food ingredients.

That is a laughably stupid tax policy.

I didn’t bother to look it up, that was just my random vague understanding. I’d trust your numbers over mine.
- Comment on This is not fine 2 months ago:
Bro said “maybe” on humans being the source of all this new CO2 as if you can’t just do the math on humanity’s annual CO2 output and watch the atmospheric concentration go up in direct response. They’re downright lying.

- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 2 months ago:
Nah, some folks got a hold of the wire frames for the sprites from the that version and the previous version and showed most were identical. Of those that weren’t, many were only slightly modified, and clearly not generated from scratch.

That someone better is you. Research is always like that. If you started your project with all the knowledge you gained from doing it, it would only take you two weeks, sure, but the whole point of research is gaining that knowledge and teaching it to other people.

Sure thing, here’s an example paper.

It’s not totally vestigial, it helps regulate colon bacteria. People without their appendix take longer to recover from diarrhea, which is important when bad water and spoiled food are a more regular part of your life.
- Comment on the flies 2 months ago:
Yes. They had a control group with only black stripes along with an unpainted group. I would have to assume they also checked the paints for potential repellents, but I only skimmed the article.

For real. Dude is claiming old memes used to be creative while using leek spin as the example.

Just launch lots of tiny bits of processed earth at them super fast. More propellant efficient and you don’t have to worry that they might have packed a parachute.

Regardless, looks like there’s a plan to get everybody off the stuff by 2030.

I thought that you can still sell new props that need leaded fuel, is that not the case?

We really need to get rid of that.
