I hope they can help, I know your problem well. It allowed me to go from a "oh God I have to cook an entire meal" mindset to a "oh I just have to microwave something and then dump it into a bowl when the meal arrives" mindset. When it's about the same amount of trouble as instant noodles but you can also fix your nutritional deficiency(s) at the same time, the task seems a lot more manageable.
It also eliminates discovering your ingredients have expired when you finally can make yourself really cook.
I mean, yes fact checking is good, but beyond translating existing Japanese sources on a Supreme Court ruling, which is already written down... there's not much to clarify here. It's not like it's war coverage where it's dangerous to even cover stories at all.
I wouldn't agree with your paraphrased characterization but I think the reason that the experiment results are widely misunderstood is for the same reason any retraction or updated information can't reach the entire same audience as the original information.
The experiment was popularised by Feynman in the 60's and widely discussed as the basis for quantum mechanic. Feynman generally was a fucking rad dude, but he did have a penchant for the poetic, which is probably why he was so popular. Einstein weighed in on the concept too, so big names with big topics in a lunar-landing sci-fi loving era. And quantum mechanics was a fun new mindfuck development in its own right.
So, when a few decades later, the tech catches up to the theory, in experiments by smaller-fame scientists, and the theory further refined; then you've got a legion of adults who grew up with the 60's romantic understanding published in mainstream media, teaching that to the next generation... and you get this.
I can personally blame Brian Greene's 2005 https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/54483/the-fabric-of-the-cosmos-by-brian-greene/9780141011110. His section on the experiment didn't feel right at the time, but feels aren't reals, so I just went with my very limited understanding of an expert's overview. The refined explanation now feels a lot more sensible, for what it's worth.
This really is all it takes to destabilize the entire Republican party. Remove one from power and the rest will take each other out in the fight to claim power. They really cannot control their selfish impulses long enough to collaborate strategically on anything.
No violence necessary, all the backstabbing is left to metaphor.
You might benefit from one of my "graceful degradation" tactics. I order too much delivery food too, but I keep a stock of frozen vegetables and canned beans/tomato to boost it with. Most of them only need 3 mins in a microwave, which is less time than it takes for the delivery.
You would be surprised how much frozen spinach can be put on a pizza without changing the flavors. Peas and broccoli can go in almost anything with a decent sauce, especially curries. Those are my top 3 stocks, mostly because leafy greens tend to expire the fastest when fresh.
Also, for non-frozen stuff, a pound of potatoes takes 7mins in my microwave. And when I do cook something like lentils or rice (where i can put it on the stove, set a timer and walk away), I make a double batch and freeze the rest to bulk out and diversify other foods.
Tinned tomatoes or passata can be dumped in a bunch of things without much thought beyond "make it hot and less wet". Dried seaweed and shiitake mushrooms too for Asian foods.
I also lean on raw carrots and almonds for snacks.
For sure. It just amuses me that someone can find the shittiest possible ways to argue for the right outcome, and that the media can just overlook the shitty parts because they (rightly) agree with that outcome.
I think it's also worth noting the phrasing is very deliberate - he reportedly has political aspirations and existing beef with the Senator, so he's appealing to his potential base too. He mentions Sharia later at least once more and makes sure to let people know he thinks kids should be reading Bibles with their family. It's all filthy and deliberate politics, and it's clearly the right thing to do, bizarrely twisted into... this.
but short of more info than in the article, not wrongful death. Thing is, this could be like the McDonalds coffee thing where a lot of people left out that the coffee temperature was calibrated wrong and the lady got third degree burns from it.
Exactly, there are a billion things that might have happened, accidental or intentional, local or systemic. Which is why when people immediately presume it was her fault for not checking, it's pretty gross. Especially when it's clear they would only have to have read less than half the article to know there were potential failures on Panera's part which may justify discovery, which means the case needs to be filed to find out. That is, reading the linked article might have even partly answered their question, assuming it was genuinely asked.
All we really know for sure is that she wouldn't have drunk it if she knew it were caffeinated + guarana, and certainly wouldn't have poured a whole 30oz for herself if she suspected it, and that she clearly has a habit of checking already. So either something went tragically wrong at the wrong time, or multiple things did. And it clearly extends further than the tired "personal responsibility" talking point implying the victim's laziness and/or incompetence.
Lol, he didn't just imply it, he outright went there in a press conference:
"Today, Oklahomans are being compelled to fund Catholicism. Because of the legal precedent created by the Board’s actions, tomorrow we may be forced to fund radical Muslim teachings like Sharia law. In fact, Governor Stitt has already indicated that he would welcome a Muslim charter school funded by our tax dollars. That is a gross violation of our religious liberty. As the defender of Oklahoma’s religious freedoms, I am prepared to litigate this issue to the United States Supreme Court if that’s what is required to protect our Constitutional rights.” - Press release
The broken analog clock is still right twice a day?
faced with the unprecedented quandary of processing requests
"It's way too much work and too expensive" is a pretty standard Republican argument against everything, and not exactly what looks like the core of the problem here. But, I guess he is trying to appeal to other Republicans here, and it's pretty clear there are some powerful ones who want a lot more church in their state.
The whole "Oklahoma voted 60% against removing the state constitution prohibition on funding churches in 2016" thing seems a lot more compelling to me.
Because the people who have even only skimmed the article or the quotes in this thread know the article already answers basic questions about personal responsibility.

... “She was very, very vigilant about what she needed to do to keep herself safe,” Conroy said. “I guarantee if Sarah had known how much caffeine this was, she never would have touched it with a 10-foot pole.”

...The charged lemonade also has guarana extract, another stimulant, as well as the equivalent of nearly 30 teaspoons of sugar"
You either did not read even half the article, or you did and then completely forgot or ignored the contents. Which was it?
This article is only dealing with the inhalation issue, but there have been previous cases about J&J with ovarian cancer and I just want to highlight a different Reuters article from a couple of years ago.
A report in the June 1966 edition of the American Journal of Diseases of Children, citing the deaths of three children who inhaled large amounts of talcum powder, concluded there was “no justification” for using the product on babies because it has “no medicinal value.”
"Beginning in the 1970s, J&J ran ads clearly intended to woo young women, in addition to its traditional marketing aimed at families with babies. “You start being sexy when you stop trying,” was the line from an ad that appeared in Seventeen magazine in 1972. "As worries about Baby Powder's safety mounted, J&J focused its pitches on minority, overweight women", Reuters 2021
After they lost the baby market they preyed on teenage girls and women's insecurities by marketing it to them as a part of "feminine hygiene". The talc migrated into their ovaries.

You start being sexy when you stop trying.
If a boy's interested in you, it should be because you're you. Not because you wear musky perfume, make-up, or anything else that makes you something you're not.
Johnson's Baby Powder lets you be you. Because Johnson's is fresh and pure and natural. It won't make you smell like a siren. It just has the smell of clean skin. And smoothing it on after you shower or bathe will keep your skin feeling clean and cool and silky. Johnson's Baby Powder. Stop trying. Just try it.
