  • For frying I use avocado oil, it has a high smoke point.

  • So they're making their tag network even more useless to track stolen items. Their network is already so crippled as to be useless.

  • You can get the seller to declare it as a gift and put a low value on it.

    There's also reshipping services that let you do that, or at least there used to be, it's been a few years since I used one.

  • My understanding is by medical standards, the evidence is pretty low quality, which is why GnRH agonists aren't approved by the EMA, MHRA, FDA, or NICE for gender dysphoria.

    It highlights a wider issue in medicine though, the obsession with randomised controlled trials, which is basically the only evidence the GRADE method considers "high quality". We are seeing exactly the same problem with MDMA assisted therapy, any therapy where blinding is difficult is dismissed by the medical establishment. NICE dismissed (es)ketamine for depression for the same reason. Add to that the fact that GnRH agonists are off patent, so there's no incentive for industry to fund studies.

  • The whole thing has implanted into the mind of any wordpress user paying attention they should start thinking about alternatives.

  • A complicating factor here is that the Sandy Hook families (who as far as I know are the large majority of the creditors) also supported the sale.

    I assume there are other creditors who didn't?

  • play "integrity" should be considered malware, any program that deliberately does something the user doesn't want it to should.

  • Warhammer 40k, pre 8th edition. It's a massively deep setting full of stories that are told by unreliable narrators.

  • It's pretty depressing that by modern standards the Lewinsky affair, and even Watergate, would be considered a normal Tuesday.

  • It's where r/chapotraphouse went after it got banned from reddit.

  • Too much.

    Groups are useful for local stuff and niche interests.

    Once you join a lot of groups you get a lot fewer "suggested" posts.

    It's pretty much the only social media I use.

  • I once read that socially conservative but economically left wing voters are quite a large group, but usually get very little representation. It's just a guess, but it makes sense that those people would vote for AOC on economics while tolerating her on social issues. On the other hand economically right wing democrats like Kamala would have zero appeal to people like that.

  • We'll probably see a massive push of identity politics or some other distraction from the media again, like happened after occupy wall street.

    American uniparty propaganda already has people believing Trump is a freedom fighter who's going to dismantle the deep state or a fascist who will make himself dictator for life. It's effectiveness is truly amazing.

    I hope I'm wrong though.

  • It's not useless, before stainless steel it was one of the few inert metals that could be used for food handling.

    Aluminium used to be more valuable than gold, Napoleon had his most honoured guests served food on aluminium plates, while lesser guests had to make do with solid gold.
