I agree, it's been pretty bad for a few years now at least.
The IARC ruling [...] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [... and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.
From the article. ^^^
This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a "possible carcinogen" and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.
Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There's a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and "the dose makes the poison" is a common refrain in toxicology.
Westworld season 1 is still one of the best seasons of science fiction television ever, in my opinion of course.
“The research has been very clear that cursive writing is a critical life skill in helping young people to express more substantively, to think more critically, and ultimately, to express more authentically,” he said in an interview.
What research? This sounds pretty far fetched to me.
Yep, to me it really depends on the welfare of the animal donors and the circumstances around donation.
Someone should make a site where everyone can post their shreds and we can see things like total karma burned or total comments shredded, or top shredded accounts.
I think there are multiple reasons, but one I want to highlight is Reddit's shift towards driving engagement at all costs.
I used the "new" Reddit for a while, and I noticed that more and more it was trying to recommend posts and communities to me. "Popular with users in your area," "Similar to another community you visited," "You visited this community before". A lot of the time, these would be posts and communities that I didn't like or want on my feed.
I would venture to guess that these recommendations are putting people into contact with communities they wouldn't normally seek out, and since they're not a member of that community (and may even be hostile towards it), you get more people breaking community norms or trolling or antagonizing people, etc...
This is epic level malicious compliance. Best way to run a SFW sub into the ground is opening it up to NSFW content.
Unfortunately shipping to Canada would cost more than the device itself.
I agree. I'm less interested in "smartwatch" and more interested in "fitness tracker". PineTime is missing several sensors that competitors like Apple Watch and Fitbit devices have, such as electrical sensors, GPS, and temperature sensors which can be used for more advanced fitness tracking.
This is great. Until the Fediverse amasses more content, Reddit is still the best way to get answers from Google that aren't just SEO nonsense. Great way to still use Reddit results without using Reddit.
