  • Study: Bacteria in Kimchi Could Eliminate Nanoplastics from Body

    Jump

  • I agree, but there's hope: It says they injected the mice, which implies that a hypodermic needle could be an option.

    I have no love of needles, but given the alternative...

  • It is canon in the Daft Punk Cinematic Universe that Mozart was an alien, so Beethoven being one is not out of line, and they could be blending in with his planet.

  • Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz leaves Seattle as local lawmakers mull millionaire tax

    Jump

  • Meanwhile their new CEO will continue to commute between Seattle and California via private jet 3 times a week. Not even joking.

  • In 2022, the American Medical Association called for a permanent end to Daylight Savings Time, citing negative effects on health

    Jump

  • Their point is we can't get it because of a federal law that Congress would need to change. That same law allows permanent standard time right now, so that would be better than keeping switching twice a year while waiting for the legislature to do their job, even if permanent DST would be nicer.

  • Anyone remember that "First is the worst, second is the best" rhyme kids used to do? Where did that come from?

    why android root causes apps to not work and needs fixing?

    Jump

  • Greed.

    I think the main pushers of the 'root = insecure' narrative are movie and music studios who think only rooted users can rip their media. Banks have also bought into thinking root means compromised for some reason.

    The phone OEMs themselves and the carriers also tend to dislike root because they like to have as much control over the users as they can get, such as system installed spyware which rooted users are likely to disable, or overwrite with a completely different ROM.

    I really miss the good old days before SafetyNet.

  • Around 532 nm is pretty nice.

    Oh, wait, did you mean audio?

  • I guess if that's really a genetic thing and not learned then it makes sense, but that isn't the impression I've gotten.

  • I don't use seasonings that hurt. And literally can't imagine a flavor so good it would be worth that.

    Everything I've had with even the slightest amount of capsaicin is something I thought would be much better without it. In extreme cases I can't even taste the normal flavors the food would have because the pain is a stronger sensation.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • I've never understood that either - Is it different from say stubbing a toe or biting a tongue? (Not hard enough to do permanent damage) Those should release endorphins also, right?

    It seems to me like people rarely hurt themselves on purpose except food and sex stuff, and the sex stuff appears to be uncommon.

  • What is something you dont care to understand or "get"?

    Jump

  • But why though?

  • Spicy food.

    I can't comprehend how individuals or entire cultures choose to just deal with the pain until they build a tolerance.

    Sure it probably made sense when the choice was to starve or to eat something that hurts (even a little), but as soon as non-painful food was available, why continue with the kind containing "Don't eat me!" chemicals?

  • What "expression" is on his face while he sleeps?

  • "Sleepy"?

  • I consider it the best Android app. No qualifiers.

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Genuine answer: Weird Al

    He puts on an incredible show every time. The costume changes alone put most artists to shame. He's just as enthusiastic and active as he was over 40 years ago (Seriously, the man is 66)

    And of course the songs and skits are hilarious.

    We have tickets to see him this year for the second time on his current tour.

  • Tap to pay works perfectly fine on my plastic cards that don't run out of battery or need to be unlocked before I tap them. I genuinely don't see what the big deal is about having it work on a phone.
