Classic story

The influencers went there first as protest because they’re a Chinese company

Many people died because of both books

Remember that twiiter was not up against a deadline. There was no reason to move to move quickly.

We just had a supreme Court hearing on tiktok yesterday and it didn’t look good for tiktok. That’s why this is more sudden.

Why RedNote instead of loops.video or something? I’m not sure how the influencers decided to go there. Maybe that’s your conspiracy. Or maybe one person thought of migrating to another Chinese app as protest and other people copied them

Chef’s kiss!

I agree. I am hearing what you’re saying, and I feel the loss of finding this out about him. However I’ve had a similar experience of wanting to like Gaiman because he checked all the right boxes, and just feeling put off by something in his writing. And thinking it was a problem with me. It’s easy for the mind to see this news and say, aha, that’s why I didn’t like him. But that’s the benefit of hindsight. Who knows if things like this, the hidden part of people’s personality, are actually detectable in their writing. Anyone feeling like I do is just trying to make sense of it all the same as everybody else. And it’s important to recognize that he was a role model for so many and did good work with his fiction, and not trying to say it was obvious, because it wasn’t.

Yeah that all makes a lot of sense!

I’ve worked in a lab before. You would do it this way for a bunch of reasons.

First it’s more reliable to measure something if there’s a lot than a little. The effects of your measurement uncertainties and your error professional goes down. So better to measure 300 teabags than just 1 if you can find out the same thing from doing it that way.

As others have said, 95 deg C is hot, but it is well short of a boil.

The magnetic stir bar doesn’t blend the water, it just moves it around into a swirl, even at 750 rpm because it’s small.

If the ideal study would be to steep 1000 teabags in teacups with just-boiled water and measure the micro plastics to see how much is released on average, I can see why they did it this way instead when their focus was on what type of plastic is released vs exactly how much. I’m not sure the food and wine journalist did a great job walking the reader through this though.

I use Waze when that matters but I’m usually using Google maps to look up stuff like what foo places are near me.

I’ll use organic sometimes too when I want directions but I don’t care that much about time.

Edit: food but it’s funny that way too

For example in duckduckgo you can type “city !gm” and it will take you to Google maps search results for “city”.

You can also use ddg.gg as a quick way to be redirected to duckduckgo.com without having to type the whole thing

But I still type in maps.google.com already because I don’t use Google search. But I still use maps.

Google maps is the best True dat. Double true.

That’s a face

Lubricant is required

Also the trees got too weak with no wind or something

The best show on Netflix

It turns out that running against the patriarchy is a big lift. Sorry Canadian brosefs we’ll try again in 4 years, god-willing.

On my android it’s called “now playing” and it’s a feature of the os. It even recognizes live cover versions as the song they’re covering sometimes. Claims to do it all local-only without sending data, just always listening and seeing what it recognizes.

There have been ad agencies who have claimed to be able to do this, so they would if they could. https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/
