In my day, we not only had to be good at fake moustaches, but also deep voices, and cramming three kids balanced one on top of the other just to get in an adult movie.

But the really hard part was getting anyone to do it again after seeing the X rated movie Andy Warhol's Bad and discovering it was only X rated due to the violence. When that baby hit the sidewalk, my confederates were running screaming from the theater to their mommies.

Game over. Interesting that they both grew up to become beauticians. Go figure.

It might be smarter to ban parents from social media so they aren't parenting while distracted.

Sometimes it was. This has been going on since the 80's. Often, the farmers just were unable to prove it because of cost, understanding , and other factors.

Look at the cases where organic farmers lose certification because their field is pollinated by a neighbour's round up ready crop.

You can't say superweeds are stealing proprietary genetics, they just are blowin' in the wind.

Indeed. Good catch! Thanks. I shouldn't type on my phone while biking in traffic. :-)

Meant to say sufficient in animals.

I like the link at the bottom of his Wikipedia entry, List of people granted executive clemency in the second Trump presidency

That's not entirely true.
Remington paid out for Sandy Hook.

My heart goes out to the 1/3 of parents whose babies refuse the screen.

EPA says it is safe, IF used as directed. DDT was similarly found to be safe IF used as directed. And DDT has been a godsend in stopping malaria. But most people don't use as directed and the results have been a disaster.

IARC, part of WHO, classify it as Group 2a, probably carcinogenic, citing limited evidence in humans but sufficient evidence in humans.

The issue isn't just with the toxicity of glyphosate, but the toxicity of Monsanto who has a huge legal team ready to sue anyone in their way.

Look at all the farmers who've lost their farms due to lawsuits due to supposedly using illegal 'roundup ready corn' because their harvest contained some proprietary genetics. Eventually it was established the genetics was introduced by pollen from other farms using the product legally. Even weeds were using the genetics illegally.

Maybe if it was used judiciously, and only in monitored ag applications, it would be safe. But do you trust the neighborhoods of 'Tim the Toolguys' slopping it on their lawns with a more is better attitude in order to have the best lawn on the block?

From my perspective, I think it's way overused. IMHO, it's dangerous to walk barefoot or even sit on a grass lawn.

I'm half tempted to buy a bag of roundup ready corn to protest the chemical's overuse by parks and rec after seeing it be sprayed recklessly on weeds in a water causeway. But then I figure it would only lead to more roundup used and the groundskeepers aren't using PPE so they will likely become advocates against its use soon enough once the NHL sets in.

Science or scientists?

Fly not, cowards and vile beings, for a single knight attacks you!

I am curious if this works for people who have lost their sense of smell. It could be beneficial. Particularly since the loss of this sense is associated with a high risk of depression and suicide.

Amazon Ring does however famously share your video with police. Yes they need to ask you for your permission to use it as evidence, but no doubt they've seen it and asking permission is only a formality after the fact.

And he's in the news wearing them all the time being creepy. I can't imagine him doing anything non-creepy. It's his persona.

It is curious he started wearing them after FB investors identified his interest in martial arts and potential injury as the biggest threat to FB. Not any of the many atrocities the company perpetrates globally.

So my suspicion is that by the time he made that announcement he already was cognitively impaired by a mafia ringer and they use the glasses to tell him what to do. His overpriced 'security' entourage are his handlers who are charged with keeping his regular epileptic fits and screaming rages under wraps.

The guy is basically in a walking coma kept alive as a corporate mascot. Kept alive until he's no longer of use.

FWIW, I watch linear TV. Quite a bit actually. I find it to be a reliable way to be exposed to new things I normally would never see in my digi-silo. Ironically, I find the excitement of the experience compares to downloading unknown programming off the pirate bay back in the halcyon days.

I have been finding the whole "suggested for you" menus just a bit too smug and stifling and would rather just turn on Film4 and see what's playing. It's turned me on to a lot of interesting films and genres that would otherwise have been statistically discounted from my view.

That said, I cannot watch American broadcasting. First, the subtitles are an affront to human decency. But also because the programming, delivered in 19 minute segments of content for 11 minutes of spam every hour on the hour, is just so cheesy. It's all adverts and augmented tits. So I guess my point is that linear TV is still interesting, just not the tiresome American format.

I can imagine live channels being added to streaming services to meet the needs of nostalgia, but also to implement one of the best suggestion algorithms known to man -- serendipitous human connection.
