Those are all places that were relatively sparsely populated until the widespread use of air conditioning, which coincided with the takeover of city planning by auto company interests. Also things like the interstate highway system.

I dont like the way this article is titled. This matter is not settled yet, and repeating CBP’s claims that they are allowed to do this just strengthens their claims.

To be fair, they named it before he became a collaborator.

Apple just pulled the name off the map, Google still had the old name.

That really just depends on the convention of whatever the mapping software is. Openstreetmap has a “name=*” block for places, but it can also have “official_name=*”, in addition to many other language names. Generally, software to actually display the map isnt going to show all of the names cause that would be a mess, but it might show whatever is listed under “name=”. If you are in a foreign country, though, you might also want the “name:(en)=”.

Personally, my comaps is set to display “name:(en)=” and if that doesnt exist, fall back to whatever the local language is (what’s in “name=”). Honestly, I wish they could make it more configurable, so I could have it display both.

The convention in openstreetmaps is that “name=” is for what people who live there use/what’s on physical signage. Since everyone still calls it “lake ontario” that name sticks. In places with legitimately different names from the people who live there, like Switzerland, they just do / names for each language.

Apple maps probably just provides the “official” name for everything. There’s pros and cons to everything, and openstreetmap isnt exactly consistent with their stated methodology. Like openstreetmap uses the official name for “unnamed mountain” and not the nazi collaborator name that people actually use (not that I’m complaining), which they should technically be using according to their methodology.

Using bethel as an example for an article is a bit disingenuous. It’s not a place that people should really be living any way other than off the land. It’s like saying the groceries on the space station or at everest base camp are expensive.

It’s like 500 km from any roads and thousands from anywhere capable of agriculture as the rest of the world knows it.

It’s also mainly Yupik, and politically, idk how they vote, but they aren’t exactly politically relevant compared to the basically 3 cities with more than 10,000 people in Alaska.

Yeah, in a similar vein, it could also potentially be due to differing standards for how causes of death are assigned.

Someone could have congestive heart failure leading to pneumonia that actually kills them, and one country might consider that cardiovascular while another does not.

There’s about a million diseases that dont actually kill you, they just lead to something else killing you. AIDS, for example.

In that context, I just use French press. Those are useful for tea, too. To get a drip machine that doesnt suck costs too much, and takes up to much space for something I’d only use every once in a while.

The rights of way already exist for the most part. The whole nation was built on railways. Most are just cargo only, and many have been converted to bike/foot paths.

Alternatively, interstate highway rights of way could be used.

I hope one day the rest of the world will learn that Chicago deep dish is a gimmick, and what people in Chicago just call “pizza” is a completely different thing that’s way better.

Hawaiian pizza is Canadian

I’m in the same boat. Have an old instant pot that works great, but now that I know better, I’d rather have a regular stovetop plus temp controlled induction burner.

The Dutch started adding annatto to cheese to make it more orange ages ago so they could have a more uniform product year round since winter milk has less pigment than summer milk. This practice spread to other countries like France, the UK, and the US.

The Swiss later invented process cheese, and James Kraft, a Canadian businessman started making processed cheese with the annatto added. He did this in America, so the product became known as American cheese.

Processed cheese in general (and american cheese in particular) is not inherently a bad idea. It’s the best way to get a smooth melting cheese. There’s also no limit to what cheese can be used, so I’ve made processed cheese out of cheeses like pecorino (you just need to dissolve it into a liquid along with some sodium citrate). Then you have easy melting cheese that you can keep in the fridge and just toss with pasta whenever you want something like a cacio e pepe with less effort to control the heat and get the proportions right.

It’s a little misleading to call it dye. It’s annatto, which is a spice used in a lot of cuisines. It’s used in cheese from a lot of countries. It’s usually in cheese to make it more orange, but it’s not like it’s red #40 or whatever.

Peltier plates are one of those things that always seem so cool and useful until you do the math.

I absolutely hate those tiny fridges that everyone assumes must use a tiny amount of electricity when in reality, they use more than a full size chest freezer.

Thermoelectric generators can be nice, though, in the right application. I like how they are used in the biolite stoves to drive a fan that improves combustion. It’s a nice feedback loop.

Couple notes on the study.

• weird that they used manual coding instead of eye tracking software.
• this is sold as looking at nature absent of nurture, but I do wonder if there are differences in prenatal treatment of male vs female fetuses that could be at play.
• they are trying to show that females are more interested in the face, and males are more likely to be interested in the mechanical thing, but, they needed the infants to look at the screens for long enough during a trial to count, so they had to retry multiple infants. The percentage of male infants who needed to be retrialed was significantly higher than female, suggesting that the male infants were just more likely to be looking all around rather than just at a specific screen.

The responses were basically heavily overlapping bell curves that only really show a sex difference in aggregate. Of the 120ish subjects they were able to complete, if even 10% end up gender non-conforming, you probably wouldnt have enough to make conclusions.

This is the only way that makes sense. Lots of people complain when a politician breaks campaign promises like:

“I am going to lower the cost of living”.

It’s not really a lie when they fail cause it isnt just up to them. Weaker wording like:

“I am going to try to lower the cost of living”

Would be technically non-falsifiable, but not actually matter to people.

The only things that I think would actually make sense to prosecute are intentional misrepresentation of facts, or decisions that are directly in their power.

I never see fabrics (at least where I shop) being marketed as made with Spectra. I guess you’re never buying straight dyneema, either, but dyneema composite fabric.

Some beans are meant for eating green and whole, some are meant for eating freshly shelled, some are meant for shelling and drying, and some are a double or triple threat.

If you grow a bean that’s meant to be cooked in the pod, you need to pick relatively early, otherwise they can get stringy.

If you pick a bean that’s meant to be dried too early, they will be underdeveloped.

Try to find out what type you have. Judging by the fact that they are so long, and that you bought them from a grocery store, I’m going to guess that these are yardlong/snake/noodle beans from H-mart. A quick read on those shows that they are normally eaten young and whole as a green bean. If you have some that are really big, they might be too far along, and you’ll need to wait for them to fully develop so you can shell them.

Tl;dr, like the other commenter said, you picked too early and too late.

“Genuine leather” isnt technically bad, it’s just a very broad and not useful term.

It literally just means exactly what it says, that it’s not fake leather. You could take full thickness of a hide and label that genuine leather (though “full grain” would be a better descriptor). You could also take a bunch of suede scraps, glue them together, and coat it in polyurethane to look like a full grain, and label that “genuine leather”.

You might have an actually decent leather. Nowadays, since people are more savvy to the meaninglessness of the term, reputable leather goods are typically not marked “genuine leather” since it has a negative connotation, but maybe not when you bought your wallet.
