  • Sridhar based this rough calculation off of an estimate by public health researchers published in The Lancet in July regarding typical indirect death counts from previous conflicts, citing research hailed as the gold standard in the field.

    This estimate includes people that haven’t died yet, but that die from causes that are attributable to the war.

  • Personally, I would leave it, but if the yellowing bothers you, I believe the procedure is to use the same chemicals beauticians use to bleach hair. You can buy kits with peroxide and a developer, you just have to be careful when applying it, and don’t leave it on too long.

  • My kids used to bring home whatever pre-packaged food they didn’t eat at school, and one of those things was this whole wheat cake donut flavored with honey.

    Why the school would think that 3rd graders would like that is beyond me… buuut the first time I tried one, lembas popped into my head. Not for the texture or its ability to fill my stomach with one small bite, though. As an adult, they were so tasty. I got real sad when the school figured out what’s what and stopped buying them.

  • Biden promised… student loan forgiveness. Neither have happened

    While your point generally stands, you can’t say Biden hasn’t forgiven student debt.

    The Biden-Harris administration today announced the cancelation of another $7.4 billion of federal student debtaffecting more than 200,000 borrowers. This brings the total amount of canceled student debt by the administration to $153 billion for around 4 million borrowers. This time around, debt relief will reach debtors enrolled in the SAVE plan, in other income-driven repayment plans and those receiving Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

    (Italics mine)

    $153 Billion is a hell of a lot of debt to cancel, especially doing it in the face of a party trying to stop it.

  • No, I’ve got an adblocker. Even the sites that block them still have chunks of empty boxes that break up the text.

    And why is it on me to block the ads? Why can’t news organizations just not be shitty? I understand they need revenue, but that doesn’t mean I should have to comb through shit to find the story.

  • Can we stop with the fucking ads please?

    Trump, however, had other ideas.

    That one line was sandwiched between a video ad and a box asking for my email address. I’d rather have zero access to news stories without a subscription than to have all the goddamned pop ups and online ads that break up the story. The worst are the fucking pop up videos that auto play and follow you down the screen. WHOTHEFUCKWANTSTHATSHIT?!?

  • There are other sugar alcohols out there that are just as dangerous, and are slipped into all kinds of foods, especially those designed to be lower in sugar (whether it’s branded that way or not), so ALWAYS check the label before feeding pets any processed human foods, as u/Catpurple mentioned above.

  • But Trump seems to think he found an airtight defense for his Michigan visit. When a reporter on Tuesday asked about his response to criticism over his visit, he responded with a question of his own: “Who was here in 2021?” The answer he was fishing for — and received — was “Joe Biden.” 

    Of course, the big difference is that the president wasn’t visiting right after racists praised him and Hitler simultaneously.
