Yup.
And the recent butter experience occurred because it was an imported butter. All local butter is from grass feed cattle. It was very pale and tasteless in comparison. Like margarine.
It got a strong negative coverage in the press and was immediately withdrawn as a result. I was one of the ignorant, not watching the news, that purchased before the withdrawal happened.
And that's what the article about. Crap food because it's easier to mass produce for less cost. I concurred and gave an example.
I got the shock of my life when I ordered duck at a restaurant a couple of decades ago and ended up with gooey white sludge that was whiter than even chicken meat. Needless to say it was also tasteless to boot. Quite the contrast from wild duck with its dark colour, dry texture and distinct flavour.
Also, just this year, I discovered butter is the same when the dairy cows are feed grain too.
Declining populations are a good thing when the world is so highly overpopulated. So Japan, SK and China are doing the right thing.
It's hawkish talking points to say a declining population is bad. The sort that are itching for war.
It is the norm in lots of places around the world. Even inside a single country like Australia. They have summer time daylight savings in the southern states while the northern states stay at their respective Standard Times all year round.
No one has permanent daylight savings though.
Which is obvious garbage. Small fluctuations are nothing. If you want to talk about stress from bad sleeping times then rotating shift work is the motherload. Those jobs are real killers.
Time zones are needed anyway. There is no one time of day for the whole planet.
Maybe adding more adjustments is order though.
Yeah, I can't believe the level of bellyaching going on over such a small, but very effective, adjustment only twice a year.
This article is advocating Standard Time (eg: EST) be chosen instead of Daylight Time (eg: EDT) that many other articles have pushed for.
I believe that's where it went wrong in 1974 also. They chose permanently forward and hour - Which is kind of stupid if you're going to make it fixed.
Personally, I'm happy with switching twice a year. It's a small adjustment that fits the summer/winter swings of mid latitudes where I live.
It's called birth control.
then why didn't they just use pre-pandemic as the baseline instead?
It does seem like there is intent to mislead here.
It would've been told in strict terms not to do what it did. They attempted many times to stop the behaviour. OpenAI LLMs are well known for ignoring instructions.
Ah, hehe, I completely agree with your analysis
That's not really MMOs generally either. It's just the subset that are built for cheating, and then try to claim not by slapping on anti-cheat DRM.
That doesn't help at all. Time zones are always needed.
