There’s got to be something to do for accountability, but ….
Just want to point out the guy who made up the whole vaccine-autism scare was a scientist. All of the propaganda against anti-smoking, anti-climate change, anti-pollution, anti-lead efforts over the years has been produced by scientists
Educated people are people too. Just because they should know better doesn’t mean they are
That’s a great response for the 1970s but since then we’ve been developing awareness of the magnitude of the crisis and developing solutions. It’s been time to move on from the nineteenth century
We all should have been making better choices for half a century now. If you’re not at least making better choices today, you can’t blame lack of knowledge or lack of technology
In this case, not really Nazi, more sociopath, lack of empathy, narcissistic
At one point I looked into making jerky. It’s reasonable for people to do their own.
The big question is whether to use curing salts. They’re necessary if you want to be shelf stable. If you don’t use them, you need to refrigerate your jerky and it has limited shelf life, like any other food. However in that scenario, you have the advantage of fresher ingredients with a quality of your selection that may make up for it.
You don’t get that from store bought uncured meat
I’ve gotten pizza with “uncured” bacon, ham, or sausage before. I’m not sure if the meat has no flavor or if it was the pizza tha had no flavor.
However I expect the pizza itself was worse for me than those specific ingredients
I’d put that number a bit higher because they’re not a deterrent if any aggressor can conceive of taking them all out before you can react. But we’re already much higher than any reasonable logic like that
At like 20, someone can keep track of where they all are and plan a preemptive attack with confidence of destroying them all before you can react. Too small a number could make nuclear war _more _ likely.
The “nuclear triad” was a good concept to prevent any possibility of such an attack succeeding, so some number that can support multiple delivery mechanisms while Making a disarming attack very unlikely
The increase in non-strategic nuclear weapons (regional or battlefield) is an especially scary capability that we intentionally backed away from. Just no.
The concept of needing a massive buildup to counter emerging nuclear powers is just laughable. Do they even look at what they’re writing?
I have to admit that having some number of hypersonic missiles with nuclear warheads may be a good idea
But the missed their opportunity with hypersonic missiles. As those become available worldwide, they increase the chances of an unblockable preemptive attack occurring with no chance for reaction. We don’t need more nuclear weapons (and fewer would be preferable) but they need to be survivable enough to be a valid deterrent
Presumably it has a more direct affect on civilians, who are otherwise able to skip most of the consequences of the war. Russians going without heat over the winter will give a little taste of what they’ve inflicted on Ukraine and hopefully put some pressure on Putin. But it also affects manufacturing, both of war materials and civilian needs.
I’m sure it’s also to threaten the legitimate government into acquiescence and potentially lay the groundwork for a potential war on “terror”
That’s a great “silver bullet” answer but not realistic. By all means it’s worth encouraging but you’re not getting there any time soon.
In the meantime, farming fewer ruminants helps as well as making progress in that direction. And for those ruminants we are still farming, food additives to modify their digestive products is a clear win. And if that makes animals more expensive to eat, maybe we start a virtuous cycle toward eating fewer animals
Aside from getting people to eat less beef …… every year or two I see an article about food additives, such as certain algae’s, that help cattle produce less methane. But the story just disappears with no follow up. Whatever happens to those?
I assume part of it is cost but some of us already pay a little more for “pasture fed” “free range” “no growth hormone”. Where’s my “green” beef? I’d pay a bit more for that.
Or does it never actually pan out for practicality or taste or health or something
I hope it was an external prank. This is too likely an internal job, which narrows the list if suspects a lot
I always assumed these cases were somewhat proactive. Here’s someone who said something about peace and is in a position to make it happen. Let’s try to shame them into it
But who’s the self getting owned? In this case it’s the us
China deserves a lot of credit for intelligent investments and guiding their market. But let’s not forget the US deserves some credit for this as well: literally throwing out its advantages for the future, refusing to even try competing, and pushing the world to Chinese companies.
Hosting email just saved the day! My ex got locked out of her email account and password resets were blocked. However she still had one “home” forwarding email configured as a recovery address, so we were able to redirect it somewhere accessible and unlock her email account!

Hah, my lab is mostly a bunch of raspberry pi’s screwed to a wall
The challenging part is a lot of it is indirect. General incitement to violence or misinformation is difficult to tie back to directly causing harm.
Freedom of speech was simpler before internet when you were likely singled out as a kook and ignored. Now with the internet you have a much bigger audience as well as other kooks where you can build on each other. Your reach is farther, you can more easily appear to have common opinion, you can do more harm, and yet are more distanced from the harm you do.
I have no idea what to do differently but we’ve seen free speech in an online world without any accountability has been able to do a lot of harm.
