My dad knew someone who was on a few medications and regularly watched the Fox tabloid. The guy seemed always upset/concerned/whatever. My dad told him to stop watching the tabloid.

A few months later the two were talking and the guy had stopped taking most of his meds (except the one or two he needed) and he felt much more relax. Less stressed.

When your goal is to "engage" people, whatever it takes is the rule. Stir the pot. Get people riled up.

Why allow both fuel switches to be shut off at this point?

Fire? From my perspecitve (non-technical, non-aeornautical) you should not want something like this to be locked down. You should always allow for something unexpected to occur which would necessitate moving these switches in all circumstances. Locking them down would seem to deprive the pilot/co-pilot the ability to react to a situation.

Microsoft more or less ignored the Internet from 1992-1994....and in June 1992 there were only ten websites. The commercial internet wasn't a thing until July 1995.

You have a weird, fucked-up misconception of history.

Facebook's shitty, Nazi-trained AI bans people for posting links to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.

Zuckerberg is a shit-eating robotic Nazi and the best thing for the world would be for every one of his companies to instantly go out of business.

Sorry, but a restaurant still has no business checking my social media.

They want to see if you're a dick or annoying or a whiner or anything else which might interfere with their restaurant ambiance.

Would you want someone who posts how often they get drunk at restaurants at a place which charges $500/meal?

But as the article also relates, they want to tailor your experience with them. If they see you've announced you're on a diet, they won't suggest the high fat stuff but instead something they think might be more appropriate based on your postings. Or maybe you mentioned how you would like to try XYZ, but never had the chance. Guess who will give you that chance.

For places like this, it's all about personal service and making sure your stay is comfortable.

According to FDA and CDC data, the covid 19 vaccine killed over 4800 people

No, it didn't. Not even close. As of 2023, there were 9 confirmed deaths related to the vaccine itself, and those were only related to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

That fake number you pulled out of your ass was debunked years ago.

and had 380k adverse reactions,

Once again, stating things which are not true. The VAERS database lists any reaction of any kind after taking medicine, REGARDLESS if there is any casual link. If I take Advil then get a rash three days later, did Advil cause it or it is poison ivy?

Pointing to a conspiracy site does not help your cause.

Meanwhile, some reports from the frontlines indicate that while drones are ubiquituous, they aren't the game-changer the tech-industry wants them to be.

tl;dr essential bits: a) most drone strikes could have been done by other, cheaper weapons. b) drones are an unreliable weapon due to jamming, dependency on weather and light and many technical failures.

If we knew how to deal with nuclear waste we would have done so. As of this moment effectively none of the US commercial nuclear spent fuel has ever been properly disposed of. In 77 years it adds up to a lot.

While China's CO2 output is the highest globally, per capita its output is just over half of the US. That's even without considering that much of China's output is as in this article, manufacturing pollution imported from other countries. The bill for this pollution should fall on the country that consumed the manufacturing output.

>the Nokia feature phone business from Microsoft, which had in turn bought the ailing brand in 2014.

No mention that Microsoft sent executive Stephen Elop to dismantle Nokia as its CEO in 2010. Nor that in 2014 as part of the deal to acquire Nokia's phone business leaving the rest of the company to soldier on, Nokia insisted that Microsoft repossess him.

First, a vocabulary check--

Fertility: The measure of the number of births per 1,000 females.
Fecundity: The measure of the ability to get pregnant/give birth.

While people associate "being fertile" with "being able to reproduce", these statistical analysis measure the rate of actual reproduction. No one is saying that we are less ABLE to reproduce, but that we are electing not to.

Teen Pregnancy
Healthy economies have done well to reduce teenage pregnancy. In the US, births to teenage mothers have gone from 62 per 1,000 females in the early 90s to 13 per 1,000 in 2023. That's a half million fewer babies born per year in the US and well over 50% of the fertility reduction.

If the various influential powers REALLY want move local fertility, they need to make sure that people ages 20-30 are sufficiently financially stable that they will CHOOSE to have children instead of relying on teen girls getting pregnant and getting STUCK WITH children.

He entered the country illegally. He had no paperwork, no sponsor.

You're assuming the soil is able to support those crops. Look at the Sand Hills of Nebraska. When settlers first saw them they thought, "Oh wow! Acre after acre of land we can plant for food!"

Turns out the ONLY thing which grows in them hills is the grass already there. That's why they raise cattle and bison.

There is no guarantee moving farms further north will be successful, let alone able to produce sufficient crops.

And there it is. Because it's a white male immigrant, can't mention it. The fact he is here illegally doesn't enter the equation.

Just goes to show that stating a fact is fightin words to MAGA.
