Probably some legit uses eg direct from file prints with filename and timestamp, but also there’s the yellow tracking dots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

An amazing accomplishment for an industry with zero accountability for all the problems it creates and yet at the same time such a small improvement compared to the magnitude of the problems.

Interesting, how so?

First search result on Nitrates:

Studies show that eating vegetables rich in natural nitrates can help reduce your risk of getting some chronic health conditions, whereas eating foods high in added nitrates can cause health risks. Why is that?

Experts think that the antioxidants (such as vitamin C) in vegetables with high nitrates help prevent their breakdown into nitrosamines.

Our exploitation if honeybees for honey and crop pollination in turn pushes out native bee species, which then causes native flora to lose pollinators with which they have a symbiosis. There are bee nests you can buy or even make (they’re basically blocks of wood with deep holes of the right size) to help them survive, along with generally changing consumer habits to reduce exploitation.

Is learning the shapes of countries really all that important? I would have thought by the time the shape matters, you’re looking at/learning the details of the country, at which point you’re not looking at a map of the entire world anymore anyway.

Who actually uses it as a map though? It’s usually only seen briefly in apps, or in various symbols, or on a classroom wall. As a symbol, having the rights sizes would be a significant improvement. In an app, people will zoom in anyway, so at least they’d passively see the correct proportions when zooming out, instead of getting a false impression. In a classroom, it would seem all that more importantly to not give false impressions to kids.

The Times also elided the fact that the Guardian had already very much outed Crémieux as non-academic blogger Jordan Lasker back in March, whose work included posts that described Africans as having IQs on the same level as the mentally impaired.

I have to assume he sees any government spending as a problem, with no concept of a government trying to financially support or stimulate the economy.

Edit: except for when it’s his own or his buddy’s grift, then it’s fine

Does STUN no longer work to allow port-forwarding when needed by P2P applications?

Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there’s a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They’re expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.

On eggs:

• Male and female chicks are birthed in equal amounts, but the male chicks are thrown into a meat grinder as they can’t produce eggs.
• Certifications that chickens are being kept in any kind of conditions.that are kind to the animal are mostly crap. Unless you know and have inspected the farm where your eggs are coming from, assume the chickens are being kept in awful conditions.
• What happens when the chicken stops producing enough eggs, when they’re past their peak? They get slaughtered, of course.

Veganism in general is simply a consequence of having empathy with animals being held by humans. Unless they’re treated like pets, they’re going to face pain and suffering that simply isn’t necessary for human survival. And if it isn’t necessary, why inflict pain?

I see what you mean, thanks. Maybe of interest, the Oxford English dictionary defines a race riot as “a public outbreak of violence due to racial antagonism”, much less specific than your definition which I imagine is America-based, so I think this might be a difference between American and European use of the term.

Why do you think it’s more fascist or than racist? The political “right” of the UK is incredibly anti-immigrant, you can see that in how they’ve voted for MPs and Brexit. The racial hate is more noticeable towards brown people, i.e. anyone looking anything from Arab to south Asian, there’s even the p-word that comes close (but isnt quite) the equivalent of the n-word.
