I think this is consistent with their content policy aims, so that's fine. Meta will not easily ban Nazis, so I get where they're coming from. I don't think I personally would want to participate in this project if I was an admin though.

If you throw enough money at the right person you can get shit done.

Sucks having to pay a lawyer to write up the dismissal motion, but it's not like you're getting anywhere in court with someone you have no fucking contract with.

She'd have hired a lawyer for the "damages" on her "mediation retreat" anyway.

Edit: I'd imagine Hawaiian locals don't have much sympathy for this absent California landlady complaining about property taxes and squatters btw

It's possible to craft a public company that has bylaws strict enough to make it like a good nonprofit, but why would you do that and still pay taxes?

I don't think raw milk should be available to buy except directly on a farm. Yes, we have refrigeration now and you can TB test the cows regularly but there is zero reason to go back to the times of listeria and tuberculosis killing and disabling children just because someone read some nonsense on the Internet.

The elf reich huh? I knew those long eared bastards were up to something. Goddamn thalmor.

Damn small Linux. Not really "installed" of course, but was fun to play around with.

Pasteurization didn't even arrive in the US until the 1890s so even if these cows had unadulterated milk, it would still be killing massive amounts of infants by feeding it to them.

In a place like New York City, without adequate pasture and no refrigeration in the first place so nessicating literal factory farming, there was no way to market milk that wouldn't be lethal at the time.

It's frankly baffling that anybody was drinking raw milk at all at the time. Usually you'd process it into yogurt or cheese unless you directly lived on a farm or had a breastfeeding problem (which would likely result in the death of an infant). This was known since ancient times. It's why raw milk consumption was mostly associated with peasant farmers for a very long time.

I guess they saw a market of poor rural immigrants who had lived on a farm and decided to swindle them to death.

One thing to keep in mind with this time period and public health, of course is life was still cheap in cities. This is the age of King Cholera.

Edit: As an interesting aside, distiller's grains are nowadays more popular with beef cattle farmers. They're high in protein since they've been spent for making ethanol and so are better for producing muscle than milk. They've also been suggested as a good human supplement since it's got all the good stuff of grain without the sugar, so here comes bachelor chow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillersgrains

The reason they were raising cows in the city in the first place is the wet grain will spoil if you try to transport it too far from the distillery. They were trying to make a buck on trash.

Yeah, I think most of the infant deaths had more to do with unpasteurized milk adulterated with raw eggs and not the cow's diet.

What a roller coaster that guy is. Homeless, but profiting off of interstate trafficking to fund international smuggling to give drugs to Ukraine war veterans. But watch out, because that drug can result in torsades de pointes.

Wait are we electing @rentlar as the Lemmy candidate? I dunno if they're eligible.

He's a chronicler of Baltimore's underbelly. He's a subject matter expert of Baltimore and graft.

Turkey liked this.

precious hamburgers?

I think this is signaling that they intend to reduce the fine on appeal.

Musk isn't pulling that service from it's debt load no matter what he does.

He's going to die without figuring out English so I understand why that scares him.

Right now she's got first call on his assets. Once he dies/gets imprisoned and all his loans come due, bankrupcy/estate/orphan's court won't act as favorably.

They shouldn't blame the AI for this. This was obviously the humans not recreating the AI's artistic vision.

"Audience members engage with interactive flowers, offering compliments, to which the flowers respond with pre-recorded, whimsical thank-yous," the script reads.

There's a whole lot of bullshit going on around this story. People are acting like she violated national security interests, but they can't articulate how. Like she shipped ebola to wuhan, but she wasn't fired for that because cooperation with high level labs is kind of important (and I'm sure wuhan already HAD a sample of ebola before she even shipped it). The findings she shared would've been shared eventually(and the reason it started a kerfluffle is because China shared them and included her in as a co-author in a paper and included her in patents for ebolavirus treatments). You can still say she was working "against Canada" if you really want to twist it, but that's not really what happened. She violated policy and got fired, then said the firing was unjust. The potential damage to Canada comes from intellectual property interests but there's not much money in treating Ebola in the first place.

Researchers working at the National Microbiology Lab on cutting-edge, high-containment research are not allowed to send anything to other countries or labs without the intellectual property office negotiating and having a material transfer agreement in place, in case the material sent leads to a notable discovery.
