I don’t find the polling particularly stunning… a couple years ago it wasn’t an election year and the media was barely talking about Trump. Now it’s all I hear about, media is doing the same thing they always do.

Is it even possible to do effective geoengineering if the biggest countries aren’t even on the same page?

I think it varies a lot. None of my classes ever had attendance. But I have heard of other colleges where it was a norm for every class. Some colleges are just weirdly strict about stuff.

Justice system is dead, Republicans have poisoned the courts.

Small trucks > big trucks anyday. Give me a 4 cylinder Frontier and I can do most of anything anyway.

I just want them to prove that C is actually a constant both ways.

My bet is some scientist accidentally leaks plastic eating bacteria into the wild. Then rust, plastic rust, everywhere.

People are always like “why come to the comments before even reading the article” but if the articles are purposely trying to mislead you, you almost need the context from some internet stranger. Just garbage.

The title almost makes it sound like some secret or hidden fact. I thought most people were aware of it’s origins.

I love how the signs say and “no other employer” yet this is happening accross the country.

Heck like less than 6 months ago I was in a non-bought out hospital that is well respected in the area with something a bit serious. Emergency room line was 6 hours for me, few got taken before me and a couple people had already been there for over 24 hours. The place was just so overburdened, there were beds but no one to attend them. People were getting an injection of oxy and patched up in chairs around the nursing station for things non life threatening, then sent on their way with no recovery time and a script for pain. Oh and one nurse said she was on her 5th 12 hour shift that week. If you needed anything it would take eons, although almost all of the nurses were super nice somehow even with being overburdened. Good times.

Eh, most know what they are doing.

It’s just the reich at this point.

It doesn’t help that the largest employers in the US (Gov & USPS) bar their employees from involvement even at the local level if anyone can announce their party affiliation.

If you go further down the list of employers, it’s a bunch of people who are mostly too overworked to have the time to vote…

And everything is done in Tails.

I read this in the voice of stitch in the lilo and stitch show intro song…

Doesn’t need to, it’s asset that can be used for collateral.

I don’t know why we hear more about…

Maybe because any impartial press is blown up to bits after a few days of publicly operating in the area?

But sucrose is 50/50 fructose and glucose. And HFCS is either 42/58 or 55/45. They are basically the same thing.

I am going to need a source that HFCS is worse than sucrose for your liver.

People hear “high fructose” in High Fructose Corn Syrup and assume it’s in comparison to other sugars, it is not. High Fructose corn syrup is a name to differentiate it from regular corn syrup, which is almost entirely glucose.

Let’s look at the real differences between HFCS and sucrose or table sugar. Sucrose is 50/50 glucose and fructose. HFCS is usually 55% fructose in beverages and 42% in most other HCFS sweetened products. This means that typically the High Fructose corn syrup has less fructose than regular sugar.

You could focus on beverages, but 5% isn’t a huge difference, and if your going to talk about the dangers of sugary beverages it’s always important to remind people that fruit juice has A LOT of fructose (go figure).

Sugar itself is the problem, monitor intake. HCFS is only an issue because the price drove down the cost of sweetening foods to everyone’s detriment.

AML investigations and fines are a bitch, they definitely do care. However, I think it’s basically automated at this point. Tellers or even bank managers aren’t making spot judgement calls.

Sea dredging is equivalent to the entire aviation industry, so maybe we can start with that?
