Maybe don't take it too seriously, y'all

This is from the 2016 Flintstones comic and it's WILD

I bet the constraint here isn't what's serving the website but either an external dependency that they don't have control over so that can't scale or a relational database that they didn't have the budget or expertise to scale

Edit: or just that humans have to actually look at it and you're waiting to talk to one

My local government does it all async to avoid that issue

That's not very customer obsessed of them

This is Dancing Bears (1865) by American Romantic artist William Holbrook Beard

I can't believe they'd make this comic

“Culley and Sutton’s argument for a separate preliminary hearing appears in many respects to be a backdoor argument for a more timely hearing so that a property owner with a good defense against forfeiture can recover her property more quickly,” he wrote. “But the court’s precedents already require a timely hearing.”
Alabama has since amended its forfeiture law to allow owners of seized property to request expedited hearings.
“Our decision today does not preclude those legislatively prescribed innovations,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote. “Rather, our decision simply addresses the base-line protection of the due process clause.”

Seems like it's less about civil forfeiture and more about how quickly can they get their property back when civil forfeiture happens

"The World Happiness Report and the Gallup/Meta social connectedness data show peak loneliness for younger Americans. It's widely recognized that social support and feelings of loneliness are influential factors in determining overall happiness, and these dynamics differ across various age groups," she said. "The quality of interpersonal relationships may impact the wellbeing of younger and older individuals in distinct ways."

I think you haven't read the article

Both women literally already got their cars back

They're suing because the process was, as another commenter said, a huge pain in the ass

I'm partial to a regular old mace

Nice and simple, very swingy

They have a cardboard/paper alternative but I bet it takes time, money, and training to replace the old plastic machines and if the old FCs are growing and doing more volume faster than Amazon it's replacing them you'd get both Amazon being able to say they're eliminating them AND their total plastic use going up

I hope they can eliminate them sooner rather than later but there are so many Climate impacts for a company that large I'm not sure it's even the most important thing I I'd want to see from them

This article just feels like rage bait to me

I'm not sceptical of the premise, because clearly the strong feelings people have towards Elon will turn some people off, but that kind of effect is hard to quantity

As the article, and others, note Tesla sales are down. That could be for any number of reasons and it doesn't make a convincing case that it's because of Elon

Tesla sales have been strong for so long despite Elon's continued crazy behavior that I find it hard to attribute the cause to the effect. Why now? Why not any of the other crazy stuff he's done?

I didn't bother mentioning that I'm vegetarian because that's irrelevant to questions of public health

I can't get it from meat but my neighbors can

Same nutritional benefits

Are they?

The macro and micro nutrients are different (but FDA makes a good case for fortified soy milk)

From reading the sub heading out looks like they mean 100% of the top ten largest

They just wanted the click bait headline

Robert Jackson Bennett's Founder Series is a meditation on Big tech and the magic system is primarily based on enchanting objects to the point where the most powerful people in the world are master engineers and the people who control them

Highly recommended

The more you use the library the better it is. My partner reads almost a hundred books a year. She's voracious. She reads them almost exclusively through the library. With Libby you're able to juggle holds easily so that new books are always coming up when you finish the last one. If it comes back too early you just tell it to wait.

That seems horribly insecure

Cheese in the seam or cheese in pan and burrito on top?

Linux support is coming, they haven't released version 1.0 yet

Note that it seems to be pretty safe when it's applied to something. The danger is mostly when it's applied/created. The big reason to not buy these products and to look for alternatives is that you're decreasing demand for the products

I don't think the common consumers care about that

I bet most don't even know! The average American is probably only dimly aware of the Elon Discourse, if they're aware at all

My parents and Aunt and Uncle aren't super online. I bet they don't know anything about what he posts on Twitter

I've also strongly considered not Tesla cars because of Elon's antics but this article just confirms my biases which is why I have to look harder at it

 “USDA is confident that the meat supply is safe.  USDA has a rigorous meat inspection process” and “multiple safeguards in place to protect consumers,” the agency said in a statement sent to media outlets on Monday.

“We recommend consumers properly handle raw meats and cook to a safe internal temperature,” which kills bacteria and viruses in meat, the agency added. 

Can you get avian flue from handling or consuming raw meat

Looks kind of like Tower of Guns!

It wasn't until I read your comment that I realized that WASN'T what the sticker was

Op is saying it's a problem of supply not meeting demand

You're saying that supply can't meet demand if the rich have infinite demand

These aren't exactly incompatible. I haven't seen good evidence that demand from the wealthy explains the massive increase in housing cost, but you can both build more housing to increase supply and try to limit the wealthy buying too much housing. They're not incompatible

From my understanding the use is totally safe

I'm told you could eat big chunks of the stuff and it would pass right through you.

PFAS is so carcinogenic that if you WERE getting some of it in your body from this kind of exposure then we'd see really high cancer rates, the same way we do in factories near it. At least, that's my conjecture

Minutes food did a good video on it's safety if you're interested

That doesn't answer the question

They keep saying the risk is low which sounds to me like you CAN get it from tainted meat

Some one on that "we need more sensitive men like in LOTR" post one of the top comments was about how men aren't like this because capitalism. I point out the absurdity of that message and get ratio'd

Its such an echo chamber

Pick any point in the last hundred years and you'll have the world coming apart because of global conflict, assassinations and bombings, or the threat of nuclear catastrophe, all under a backdrop of environmental destruction and pollution. Despite all this the previous generation is reported to be happier

Everything you listed is legit, but it's our ability to serve up fresh horrors at all hours of the day that has changed.

What's worse, is that social media gives us the feeling that we're well informed when we're actually not. Think of all the people you know who you think are well informed. Journalists, experts, even some bloggers. They didn't get that way by scrolling for content on social media all the time.

All that to say that I think anyone who uses social media should consider how their media diet effects them

On a personal level it's one of the reasons I try to use things like reddit (or Lemmy) less and fill my life with things that are more enriching, like books and music
