This is less applicable to supermarkets a d more applicable to local green grocers.

Coffee seems to be one of those things supermarkets regularly price cycle.

If i buy 4x 1kg bags when it's 30% off, i rarely have to buy any at full price.

This doesn't work for artisan's coffee you buy direct from the roaster obviously.

The huge ones are just gross.

I think "woody" is the technical term.

It wasn't a septic tank.

It was a structure with 20 compartments which was originally designed as some kind of sewage management system but was never used as such.

So your question is really, do I think they had a valid and good reason to bury 800 infants, who had died from various bacterial and viral infections over a long period of time.

The obvious answer to that is yes.

It was a refuge for mothers and children. There's no indication of any abuse or neglect of the deceased at this time. I'm sure there are many valid criticisms to be made about this time and this place, and certainly there are valid criticisms to be made about religion, but this refuge is not the baby murder facility you're looking for.

There's a snopes article with a lot more information which challenges the assumptions you're making:

Yes, those assumptions.

No it's not. Most of the infants died from bacterial or viral infections.

Most of the infants died from bacterial or viral infections.

Sure but you might be making some assumptions that don't really apply here.

Wow, what an awful but fascinating read. Really changes the perspective on this.

It wasnt a place that harmed or neglected children, but rather a place that housed the most vulnerable at a difficult time and endured immense hardship.

These are generalisations. It's facebook grandma reasoning.

What elements of the R&D process for this medication were state funded and to what extent?

Loads of industries receive support and incentives and grants from governments, they're not required to give their product away?

There's no doubt that large components of the medical industry, and the pharmaceutical industry are unethical profiteers.

It's also true that the research needs to be funded somehow.

My point is, there is nuance here that most lemmy users just aren't interested in. It's not as simple as "pharma bad".

It's nutty this comment is downvoted to oblivion but "infinite breeding here we cum" idiot is getting upvotes.

It's shit, but it's true. The company that researched this amazing thing needs to get paid.

Maybe we could just give them $20b to forego their royalties, but then what if a better drug was developed next year which we wanted instead?

Until someone solves the problem of funding medications, this will be the reality.

It's weird how much i like this app.

It's free / open, solves a problem elegantly, and I use it all the time.

That's really cool.

This is a really small rocket that only ascended to 300m.

It's heartening to see other companies are interested in this type of tech.

Candle.

It's an android app that uses your display to make a "glow" to light a room rather than using the camera flash like a torch.

It's in F-Droid.

Obviously the camera flash is more powerful if you're outside or whatever, but using the display this way is way better inside. That tiny little dazzling pin-prick of light is just... unpleasant.

With candle you can also set whatever color you like. Red is nice to avoid waking people or ruining night vision.

I discovered this app when we had twins and waking up to nurse them overnight. Gonna sound weird if you've not been through this but basically they won't really wake up they make a gentle sooky noise, and you put a bottle or boob in their mouth and they suckle while they sleep. If you turn a light on they're gonna wake up which is sub-optimal.

I've been using this for 6 months or so and it seems a lot more stable than previous iterations.

Also freetube for linux desktop

Finally pinchflat for archiving content because IDK how long these apps are going to keep working.

As an Australian, I don't have a lot of faith in Australian's understanding of global politics generally.

I think there's a huge difference between serving in a military controlled by a healthy democracy, and serving in a military controlled by an authoritarian regime.

Several weeks ago you could forgive someone for not realising that Trump is the latter, but not really any more.

Yeah. It feels that way. What defines a world war anyway? Is it just when "most" countries become engaged in a major conflict?

Wouldn't this cause catastrophic domestic problems though. I think the US would tear itself apart trying to go to war with either of those three. Greenland perhaps less-so but still incredibly distasteful.

This is a false dichotomy, as though you can either be productive or learn to march. Obviously you could do both.
