Tbh, I’d think men would self exclude from these jobs because they’re afraid they will look less masculine working them.

squid cat on panel two is kind of cute though, tbh

To generate as much profit for their shareholders as possible.

Even that is not really their legal responsibility… if you’re thinking of their fiduciary duty, that means there is a responsibility to act in the best interests of the corporation & shareholders (rather than, eg, putting personal gain forefront). “Best interests” doesn’t necessarily mean “make the most money possible right now”, particularly if it can be argued that there would be long term damage to brand reputation etc by doing so.

Wait, what’s the connection between monkeys and gazelles that makes this make sense?

I’ve used it on occasion…. IMO it’s not bad at finding you something related to your query, but it pales in comparison to google for finding something specific.

While freezing should kill multicellular eukaryotes (worms or other parasites), bacteria are pretty hardy, even to things like freezing. Plus, even when they aren’t, they make up for it in numbers… if you kill 99% of 10 million bacteria, you still have a hundred thousand that can subsequently repopulate if they are thawed left to grow a bit (even in the fridge). I’m not sure about these Vibrio strains, but the infective dose of some E. coli and Salmonella strains is measured in quantities less than 1000 bacterial cells.

Edit: reading a bit, probably this won’t be doing much growing at fridge temperatures (prefers warm water after all), however infections have been reported from oysters that were tested at about 900 cfu/gram of meat, so it might take (coincidentally) about a hundred thousand bacteria to cause an infection (~10g/oyster * 900 cfu/gram * 12 oysters or so). This isn’t very much… you probably have at least 1 to 100 million cfu/g of various bacteria on chopped lettuce, for instance.

I mean id probably be good if we waited until hs or college to teach gender identity.

Children are bombarded by gender norms long before they stop using diapers… so you can’t really mean ‘gender identity’ here. Presumably you mean “nobody should learn about transgender identities until high school or maybe college”.

I assume, much like the many people who realize they are gay or lesbian earlier in adolescence, that many transgendered individuals also realize or suspect their gender status early in adolescence as well. It’s rather cruel to hide away information like this at the time when it is especially relevant… just as it would be cruel to not teach about periods until many girls have already started them (another bright inspiration brought to us by social conservatives). Rather than being isolated in the dark, children should be supported as they grow into their own individuals.

Yeah… decades ago when I was a socially awkward teenager, I actually was called out for that usage by people who were definitely not terminally online (hard to accomplish via dialup)…. and then I reflected and made a point not to do that anymore.

If you don’t get called out irl for that, this probably is primarily a reflection of the culture of the people you are associating with.

LLMs aren’t AI… they’re essentially a glorified autocorrect system that are stuck at the surface level.

Just for the record, Bedrock has free mods too. If they’re packaged appropriately, they even install automatically when you open them. The main difference is there isn’t a way to lock bedrock to a specific release version, so things tend to break over time as the game changes. This make the very large & complicated compilation mod packs impractical on Bedrock.

I wish the article touched on the nano particles more… like, what happens to them after you’re done? Are they dissolved or expelled (or do they pile up in various parts of the body and cause chronic issues…)?

That said, very few doctors actually perform late term abortions anyways (even though these are almost universally due to complicating medical scenarios and not for funsies).

1/7 districts (14%) were majority black, but the population is 27% black. The argument was that the black voters were unfairly concentrated into one district and diluted into the other 6 so as to limit their effective representation in the government.

“Life begins at meiosis” is a fun exercise to examine the whole “life begins at conception” argument (and by extension, the new “life begins at 6 weeks” argument implied by all these conservative abortion bans).

This is a new Atlantic Ocean / Gulf of Mexico tropical weather blog from the meteorologists of Space City Weather (of local
Houston fame). They’ve always done a good job when things get nearby Houston, so I have high hopes for this as well.

/r/tropicalweather has always been a good resource as well… this is one of the things I have no problem going back to Reddit for specifically.

I didn’t used to bother with school board elections, but I’ve made a point of voting for all of these in the last several years on account of crazies like these.

You could probably get pretty far by referring to ‘ethnic Africans’ as well, or some similar phrasing, since ethnicity encompasses not just racial, but common national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin as well.
