Or it’s supposed to be an insult? If it was licensed (even thru pirate means) it would look like they paid money to Microsoft.

This way, they have it and are using it without funding an American company.

It happened yesterday for about an hour

chloramphenicol - a banned for use in livestock antibiotic

So, the effects are rare. But China turned away beef that tested positive. Then the US government announced a mystery-origin meat to help lower prices. Maybe it was a false positive and a coincidence on the trade deal timing.

But I remember when mad cow disease was a concern. It was rare too. But also not a good way to die.

I feel like we are living the hypothetical, “if a bowl of skittles has up to 1% of them poisoned, do you eat them because your odds are decent?”

If I was only going to vomit a couple times, maybe if I’m hungry enough. If I’ll die an agonizing death from a poisoned skittle, then no, I’ll ty to find something else.

I think the worry isn’t food poisoning or parasites, it’s cancer from the latest imported beef. Or maybe mad-cow. I just remember it was somehow worse than explosive diarrhea.

I read that to mean they did not take any of that into account. Since the data was independent of underlying factors, they ignored those underlying factors. Which were probably the actual factors.

How can you ignore diabetes and the other risk factors that lead to using sugar-free products and are huge risk factors in themselves?

At least exclude certain ones.

Plenty of people use xyitol products for other reasons. For instance, I just bought a pack of xylitol gum to carry because I won’t be able to brush my teeth during the day. Gum with sugar makes my teeth feel worse.

Exclude smokers and people with uncontrolled diabetes and cholesterol at least.

Study the gym goers that want to eat their sugar as treats and use xylitol drinks or breath mints daily.

How much caffeine was in everyone’s system? Alcohol? Were the other blood level markers in range?

With no controls, it could be anything. Maybe they were all covering cigarette and beer breath with mints when they had a cardiac event.

I hate studies like this.

Stunning

You mean a “two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onion on a sesame seed bun” sandwich platter please?

It will? Why do wine and cheese with so well together? I’ve had cream in certain drinks before and not had a problem. And cheese with pretty much everything, beer and nachos, yum

I feel like this might have been a real ad when i was a kid

Possible thought, choreographer brought dog to have someone to blame their own farts on? Dog was dying too with it’s sensitive nose, but was too well-trained to let on.

A lot of people are in the “it’s bad for our minds, climate, jobs/economy, skynet” camp and hate any use of it at all for any reason. And while I agree it’s currently being rolled out in a highly irresponsible way for the environment and setting up a huge ponzi bubble to collapse at any time, I also firmly believe China is working on ways to make it efficient and cost/climate effective.

Which means if we don’t learn how to use it effectively, we’ll be left behind eventually. It’ll be like people refusing to use a computer. Some will be able to avoid it. But the vast majority will have to adapt.

Plus, if some of us don’t learn how it works, how will we spot what it and its corporate overlords are doing?

That’s not including the niche use cases where it can help push forward scientific and medical advances. (these are not LLMs though)

All the people vibe coding and the managers using it to make decisions with half-ass human thought process are probably going to be anti-ai when it burns them. One of the biggest lessons that always stuck with me is “garbage-in, garbage out” - and a lot of people are using garbage to build and make decisions.

What did it say? It says “Note Not Available” now

You might be surprised to learn what grandma got up to in her youth

Currently? Two main sources: my kids and other media

So lots of songs found from soundtracks and background music on other videos. Which leads to artists I may or may not become a fan of.

Kids still go to shows and keep up with new releases, not sure how they find new stuff. They are grown and out of the house.

You’ve mentioned the battery being an issue for resin.

I would like to mention if you decide to get a new phone and use this one as art, you still need to remove the battery

Yeah, because of artist attribution on another post, I was introduced to a new genre I hadn’t actually read before.

I got to try haptic headphones recently. Gimmicky but made me smile when the bass kicked in and I could feel it through the haptic feedback. It seemed louder without making the rest muddy and without making me yell WHAT? after a couple songs.

Not audiophile quality, it was immersive at least. I want to try them with a movie.

The best advice I got related to this is that “it’s not a competition.”

I kept putting off taking care of my health because I wasn’t as burnt out/sick/tired/as much pain as someone else. So if they were still moving forward I should be too, right?

No. I didn’t need to wait until my chest cold was pneumonia because the chemo was worse for my friend. Or my limp wasn’t as bad as their constant pain. Or I wasn’t as bone-tired as them, I’ll just chug some caffeine.

If you are breaking down, you are breaking down.

We don’t expect a wooden bridge to hold under the same daily stresses as the Golden Gate. We fix them both as they meed repair. We don’t wait until the Golden Gate needs repair to fix all the other ones.

I’m not arguing your point. But I am curious what 3rd party future historians will find the actual numbers of rounded up “illegals” put in camps and the actual death tolls to be for 2026.

I keep hearing that we don’t currently know. Maybe we’ll never know, unless someone is keeping a meticulous record in their private diary.

The official target is 3k arrests of illegals per day in a country of over 300 million people.
