Are you Larry David?

Women are not really relevant to what the actives are trying to do so they are obviously not bringing them up at convention or not this video helped me understand why an elementary schooler might actual know what we find a new leak in our ceiling and we also need to secure a cat sitter to the firehose of content that a massive social media platform brings.

Same for my two cats, they are on non-chicken diets (rabbit-based and I think duck-based) and their vomiting, diarrhea, and itchiness have all been greatly reduced or outright eliminated.

My partner (a practicing small animal veterinarian) sorted them out a few years ago, and also confirms that chicken allergies are super common. They were fine for 5 or 6 years of their lives, then they just were unable to handle the chicken. Figuring out which of the alternatives they liked enough to consistently eat was the toughest part, lol, they're super picky.

According to the story I heard as to the origin of the "no liquids over X amount" rule, years ago there was a terrorist that tried to smuggle hydrogen peroxide and acetone - which can be used to rather easily synthesize triacetone triperoxide (TATP, a highly sensitive explosive) - onto a plane in plastic toiletry bottles. They got caught and foiled somehow, and then the TSA started restricting liquids on planes. This was in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, if I recall correctly.

And I happen to know, from a reliable source, of someone who accidentally made TATP in a rotary evaporator in an academic lab. So it seems plausible.

Not that the rule is actually effective prevention against similar attacks, nor that the TSA even knows what the reason is behind what they do at this point, haha. I just thought it was an interesting story.

No postage needed in California, nor Massachusetts if I recall correctly. Does your state really make you find a stamp to vote in 2024? That sucks, sorry to hear that.

I would also like to see a similar graph for mid-term elections. Do the winners even get 10% of the eligible votes?

(Slight) hyperbole aside, it seems like a week doesn't go by without reading about another brown child or teenager being aged up when the capitalist owned media wants to run cover for wanton government violence against them. This is from the same rotten root that leads to black, indigenous, and immigrant children in the US getting long prison sentences (and in the past, executed) after being tried as adults for crimes that, if they were white, would much more likely see them tried in juvenile court.

Sorry for veering off topic, I happened to recently read a paper on disparities in the US judicial process by race for juvenile defendants, and needed to vent.

Good for her, well done! Not as pretty of a tattoo as a well-drawn organic molecule, IMO, but publishing is hard and worthy of celebration when you succeed.

I have an Astell & Kern SR25 MKII DAP (digital audio player) and I use it quite frequently. The sound quality far surpasses what my phone can produce when connected to any of my speakers or headphones.

It plays FLAC files and any other audio file type you can think of. And it acts as an offline music library when needed (64 GB of memory plus a 1TB microSD).

The better the headphones/speakers I use, the more it outshines anything coming out of my other electronic devices. I use it almost every day.

Miserable Old Bigots?

You are saying that sucralose (or a metabolite thereof) could alkylate DNA - and theoretically proteins too - correct? Like what sulfur mustard gas does?

I did a quick search and couldn't find any papers demonstrating a mechanism of action for that, although I skimmed a few that postulated that a dichlorinated hydrolysis product might be the true carcinogenic agent. Do you know of any studies that demonstrate that the alkylation can happen, either in vitro or (ideally) in vivo? Or maybe some better search terms to use, that could be my issue...

I am truly curious about this, I never knew the chemical structure of sucralose until I read your comment and subsequently looked it up.

Seems like I read this same headline a few times each year. Soon, rampant heat illness/stroke is going to make the recent pandemic look like a tiny blip when it comes to human mortality data.
