Sorry, I took a shortcut with the definition.

The longer version is something most people can make at home with things most people already have in their kitchen.

This assumes sugar, butter, milk, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, dried pasta, spices, cut or ground meat, etc. aren't processed enough to "count" as ultra-processed foods.

>A $1,000 ticket better come with ...

I'd settle for the ticket coming with a signed album of their latest gold record, but only if the record was made of real gold and the gold content was worth at least $1000.

One very loose definition is that if it's something most people can make at home, it's probably not ultra-processed. If they can't, it probably is.

Not the hard-and-fast definition that most Slashdot readers are looking for, I'm afraid.

ultra-processed water.

Unless you need an exception to a web page's stateless protocol, no cookie is needed. Tracking you is likely not what the W3C had had in mind, when they created XHTML, XML, HTML. all from SGML. You have been falsely been taught to believe that tracking is necessary to load the simplest of webpages. Basically, unless it's something that you need to log in for, no cookie is likely needed. BTW, tracking is not advertising; to refuse to be tracked--does not mean that you are blocking ads.

The Texas outbreak started before the change in administration.

That said, the decision to immunize or not immunize may have been made during the first administration of said idiots.

Personally, I blame this epidemic on over-amplification of a long-since-discredited paper in a major medical journal in the late 1990s.

As for the over-amplification: The idiots in charge aren't helping.

While there is virtue good or bad in a programmer art, any legitimate AI purpose--has been negated by the AI companies, who stole so much from so many, put so many out of work--all to make the least-working people--the richest.

The median income in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles is higher than $83K. At least I hope it is.

The crap must end. We need reins on AI proliferation.

>This is irritating AF even though I have the money in the bank because I get a percentage back.

The percentage you get back is a small part of what goes into the costs that the credit card industry charges consumers and merchants.

If no credit cards offered any kinds of rewards, the credit card companies could lower consumer and merchant fees and interest rates and still make the same amount of money.

Pretty much yes.

People buying essentials on credit has been around for a very long time.

It's never a place you want to be, but it beats starving or freezing to death.

Perhaps they should have a think about what they stand for.

>Leave them there permanently but give them a way to access TikTok so that they can live cover from the scene to other disbelievers.

Like Stanley Kubrick did in 1969, but without TikTok. Authenticity for the win.

is the heart of a planet-destroying weapon system.
