Plus, outside of more severe cases, surgery isn’t required, and if it is, one can have it done as an adult if one chooses.

Oh, apologies, I assumed you could read. Never mind.

If they take ten years to build, start now. Nuclear plants offset 400 million tons of CO2 a year in the US alone. All the waste produced since the 1950’s would fit just over 9 meters deep on a single football field. Yes there’s mining, it’s not great, guess what? Solar panels and wind turbines also require mining. The open pit sort, the sort with wastewater containing the ever-perfidious radioactive elements. All in all, for each ton of rare earth elements extracted, about 2,000 tons of toxic waste is produced, 1-1.4 tons of which are radioactive, usually thorium and uranium funnily enough. A point of interest on the waste, the tailing dam of the Bayan OBO mine in China, responsible for only half the world’s rare earth elements, is around 70 million m3, the nuclear waste I previously mentioned comes in at 49,000 m3, or 0.07% of the volume of a single mine.

All this to say, let’s build solar panels, wind turbines and nuclear reactors, because we’re in the harm reduction phase, and nuclear reactors are a fantastic tool even if they have downsides, just like everything else.

A range of amphetamine compounds are approved for the treatment of ADHD.
Methamphetamine, what people generally talk about when they say meth, is not.

Armored Core 6, they added ranked matches today.

Dark Souls 1, want to finally 100% it.

Minecraft, because it’s always nice.

One to tell you fascinating things about lightbulbs, one to tell you about Big Lightbulb and why they’re unravelling society, one to make asinine comments, one to actually change the bulb, and four to lurk in the shadows simply observing matters.

Many internet-goers like to give pedantry a hard time, but I just want to let you know that I love it and all the niche facts it brings.

Been on other stuff since I completed the game, ready to come back and get into some weird builds for pvp, see they’ve added new tet legs too!

Fermat, explain yourself now please.

I do, but rarely. Maybe every other month or so. The situations I do use it, I’ve been thankful that I avoided phones without a jack. I like having appropriate tools at my disposal, and bluetooth will never be universally applicable.

Ah, I missed what you were getting at before. Agreed, can’t see why engineered stone should be a particular hazard if proper safety measures are being taken. Best guess is that they weren’t, and this ban is simply the chosen way to stop people being harmed by the work. Just seems more performative than useful.

As someone who works making glass, I want to underline that it’s silica dust that is dangerous. Your windows, drinking glasses, pyrex jugs, dinner plates, they’ll all be around 40–50% silica and are absolutely safe. Silicosis is a reaction to the shape of silica particles when inhaled, the particles cause scarring in the lungs and aren’t “mucused out”, so they remain causing more damage over time.

I can’t think of any reason to ban anything for containing silica, the problem is mitigated by wearing a mask in areas where there are airborne particles.

Thank you, it’s frustrating seeing (almost) everyone call them AI. If/when actual AI comes into existence I think a lot of people are going to miss the implications as they’ve become used to every LLM and its grandmother being called AI.

I’ve yet to find a burger that’s better than just caramelised onions, blue cheese, and quality beef. I might add a leafy something out of arterial guilt, but I can’t say it improves anything.

Was raised going to church each sunday, but approaching confirmation age I realised I couldn’t mesh faith with my understanding of the world. That was it for me really, I’m quite open to the idea of god(s), ghosts, magic or other forms of the supernatural, but until there’s actual proof, I can’t believe in it.

Def Bulgaria with toasting knowledge like this.

It’s admittedly psychiatric care not emergency medical, but I’ve been impressed by Norway this year.

After a decade or so of chaos after leaving high school, I had realised earlier this year that I had some issue and sought help.

Start to finish, from GP appointment -> psychiatric evaluation -> tests -> specialist -> testing meds -> follow up, took 6 months, and I’m $275 out of pocket, and meds for 1 month cost $6.5.

Two things worth noting are that they absolutely nailed identifying my issue first go, and that I responded well to the first thing they prescribed me, neither of which necessarily happen for everyone.

Learn how to make the pork belly bao I got at Covent garden, it taunts me.

Nah she was Tory.
