Abbreviations are usually read the same way the word they’re replacing are spoken. So, you’re right! Nobody’s saying “Calif.”

Yes, sugar is needed to survive, but a normal diet with little processed foods will supply more than enough. OP is talking about added sugars which are known to increase risk of heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, etc.
I agree that the comparison is dumb. Regardless, I think a better way to frame your previous statement is nicotine is a known carcinogen while glucose itself is not. Thanks for the snark lol not everything is confrontational. Ease up on your quills, hedgehog.
Exactly what someone with a sugar addiction would say lol
The human body also doesn’t need added sugars to survive.
Feels kinda mid-2000s. The data hoarders on it have even the most obscure music you can think of. Would recommend!
For real. The regulations are the “reasonable” standards. If you can’t meet the bare minimum you can fuck off.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil is amazing
Dude, the '96 Immigration Act went into effect right around the same time his mama was arrested for stealing drugs from her work. We’ve tried this shit already and it doesn’t work.
But sure, focus on “hurting the right people” instead of actually supporting orphaned kids or those suffering from addiction. I know he’s dog whisting, but come the fuck on. We desperately need to fund public education to counter the indoctrinated fear held by people that still eat this shit up.
They don’t exist, JD, and if they did they’re sure as fuck aren’t censoring you considering I can read this bullshit.
You hear about what’s going on in Palestine lately?
I recommend a play through either way! The story is a rollercoaster that balances its silliness with heart pretty well.
The gameplay might be a little more tense than you’re looking for at times, but Kena: Bridge of Spirits gives me summertime vibes.
For something with chiller gameplay, maybe Yakuza Like a Dragon? (I haven’t played Infinite Wealth yet, but the setting also seems promising.)
Dude could foot the bill to end world hunger. Doubt either would happen anytime soon. The last charitable thing I can remember him doing was offering that dumbass submarine in the Thai cave rescue before calling the actual rescuer a pedo.
Clay is read horizontally left to right, sand is read diagonally bottom right to top left, and silt is read diagonally top right to bottom left. So, the center of the mozzarella zone would be about 20% clay, 40% sand, and 40% silt.
My first thought was microplastics and pfas, but I’m unaware of any studies delving into it.
Interesting, thanks for the context. I don’t know anything about asphalt, but if it didn’t cause any health or safety issues I’d place it on the innovation end of the spectrum. I’d be interested in things like how the spent diesel fuel was disposed of and if any petro chems would leach into stormwater from asphalt made this way.
The water characteristics you’re worried about sound like aesthetic problems, which might be displeasing but pose no real health risks. These vary significantly between public water systems. If the system pulls from surface water, the water might need more treatment in the dry season since contaminants concentrate in surface waters more that time of year. I’m lucky to live somewhere that has no noticeable taste/odor/color issues. For places that do, you should be able to drink it from tap without issue, but it might taste/smell better if you run it through a filter or even just let it sit in a pitcher in the fridge.
If a municipality were to cut corners with their water treatment in a similar way to the asphalt plant you mentioned (which sounds kinda shady btw), people would get sick and potentially die. Most municipalities are very risk averse and take liability seriously to avoid litigation/losing money. So, it’s not impossible, but I think it’d be unlikely for a city to skimp on water treatment just to save a few bucks. Water treatment facilities are also required to constantly test for things like pH, turbidity, and chlorine residual and report to the state, so it’s not as simple as hiding things from an inspector the day of.
Sure, you can and should if you’re aware of the challenge and care enough to combat those biases. It might feel like second nature for some, but it can also be like a muscle that needs to be exercised for others. It sounds like they’re trying to do so now, and that kind of growth should be encouraged imo.
Considering how many people will either assume they’re open minded enough already without really reflecting on if there’s room for improvement or actively go out of their way to treat others like they’re inferior, I don’t see the value in dragging other folks down for attempting to be more conscientious towards others. Who knows - maybe another future former racist will read their comment and come to the same realization.
I mean, I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it seems like this could happen by Democrats not turning out to vote as much as their Republican counterparts in those areas.
