Basically any situation where plastic is warmed is a source of microplastic contamination

What can’t you stand about Devin Stone?! Is it that he’s too smart, too handsome, or too ethical?

According to their “About Us” page, they were a small business that is now financed by Post Road Group and Bain Capital. Creating competition for Comcast is a great thing, but I’d bet over the years those capital partners are going to demand enshittification for profit. I’d still drop Comcast like a rock though.

The excavation in the street sounds like the same thing Google Fiber did in my neighborhood, microtrenching fiber in the street along the curb. Has worked great for me for almost 10 years now

Here’s a brief review of the study results. They were only looking for association, not causality:

Long sleep was associated with reduced overall cognitive function (β ± standard error = −0.25 ± 0.07, p < 0.001), with strongest effects in those with depressive symptoms using (−0.74 ± 0.30, p = 0.017) and not using antidepressants (−0.60 ± 0.26, p = 0.024). Weaker but significant effects were observed in those without depressive symptoms (−0.18 ± 0.09, p = 0.044). No significant associations were observed in participants using antidepressants without depressive symptoms.

**Weaker but significant effects were observed in those without depressive symptoms (−0.18 ± 0.09, p = 0.044). **

This is certainly something to investigate further.

It’s been a pretty weak wildflower season due to the drought, unfortunately. That rain we had last week should help push those summer flowers out though!

I think those solar panels should be lifted by two people…

I’m in central Texas, and all my sunflowers are starting to bud! A week or two and they’ll be in bloom

Danny DeVito as Frank Reynolds vs. Danny DeVito as the Penguin

You got some great advice already, I just wanted to add that it’s certainly possible you’re reading way too much into this and are anxious about something that amounts to nothing. I agree speaking openly with your supervisor about it is your best route.

I mean, this is for the ad-supported tier. For $8/mo, it tells you right there it includes ads when you sign up.

Also, putting the amounts in the directions and not just at the beginning.

Fucking genius. Someone get this man a promotion

When someone says “America,” it seems obvious they’re talking about the country as a whole or its leadership, and not individual people. He very clearly is not saying “Americans deserved to die.”

“America Deserved 9/11”

Let’s phrase this a different way. “America reaped what it sowed,” or “America made its bed and is now lying in it.” This is a pretty solid “yup” from me. We armed, trained, and funded the leaders of the group that carried out the attack, among many other things

Yes, she came out as a trans woman several years ago

You might be surprised that this came out in 1973

The language used in the lawsuit makes it sound like these shareholders are trying to highlight that UHC has to engage in anti-coksumer practices in order to reach their profit goals. We don’t know anything about who they are. Doesn’t take much to be a shareholder

I genuinely don’t understand how the race or gender of the prosecution has any bearing here. We’re not talking about a jury, we’re talking about the people who are presenting state’s evidence in the trial. The prosecution does not decide whether Diddy is innocent or guilty, a jury does. If a jury in the trial of a black man is composed of 12 white women, that could be a real point of issue in our justice system, but the prosecution? It makes no sense

He’s discussing his book because it’s directly related to the topic being discussed. He doesn’t need to plug his book here, it’s spent much of the last year and a half on the NYT bestseller list

Confirmation bias. If they told them what they wanted to hear, they would have believed every word
