The Guardian reported the dogs were from neutering operations and the humans from postmortem exams. Dogs get fed garbage meat meal but it's packaged largely in paper bags, metal tins, or only the big bag is plastic. Human food is often kept in plastic at every step and often heated in plastic too.
Searching with synonym matching is almost.decades old at this point. I worked on it as an undergrad in the early 2000s.and it wasn't new then, just complicated. Google's version improved over other search algorithms for a long time.and then trashed it by letting AI take over.
Yes, synonym searching doesn't strictly mean the thesaurus. There are a lot of different ways to connect related terms and some variation in how they are handled from one system to the next. Letting machine learning into the mix is a very new step in a process that Library and Information Sci has been working on for decades.
You are the only person in the comments so far to mention where this baby "originally came from" is in where it got the widest audience at the time. I didn't even watch Ally McBeal but I knew at as "the dancing baby from Ally McBeal" forever.
With how overstuffed the interior of planes has become since the check-bag fees got so high, I think it would silly not to simulate that much more stuff. Empty bags in all the overheads and stuffed bags under every seat.
It did indeed have lockdowns! Public Health quarantines have a history that is thousands of years old. Polio would close public pools regularly when my parents were children.
Visiting my husband's home town where this has happened and all his parent's friends have moved into trailers because the houses where they raised their kids were bought for insane amounts but then they couldn't afford a smaller house in the same town. Where we live now on the East Coast, we can no longer stay in our school district for less than half a million because doctors from larger urban areas keep buying the houses in our school district and we're being forced 60+100 miles out from my hometown where we raised our young kids to even begin to afford housing.
Not at the time this happened. Aaron's case was one of the motivating factors that led to the Open Access publication movement gaining enough traction that authors could publish that way. JSTOR access is paid for and administered on college campuses by libraries and librarians as a whole field felt terrible both about the paid publication system and the way Aaron was treated. As a community of professionals, the Librarian and Information Science community pushed very hard for the adoption of Open Access publishing into the Academic community.
You do need to take it every day because the drug builds up in your system over about 3 weeks to the correct levels. It adjusts how much of your norepinephrine gets reused and so it takes some time to take full effect. I also was in the habit of only taking stims on work days and this will not work for that, it needs some time.
The biggest side effect I or anyone I know has had is some lightheadedness right before my next dose. I ended up getting split doses 12 hours apart but you can also bump the dose up to avoid this, I've been told.
Compared to stimulants, I prefer the steadyness of Straterra. I don't wake up in a panic state every morning, I think thought a problem first before a knee-jerk reaction sets in, and I can focus on my work without being constantly side-tracked, and I still feel like "myself" and can engage in my creative work day after day in a sustainable way.
I'm happy to report Straterra leaves me personally totally intact. I get a little more bored on the weekends but otherwise feel fine. I only drink socially but so far Alcohol presents no issues. I'm a full-time stoner and I haven't noticed any differences in my Cannabis effects. I do smoke just a little less because I'm a little more focused during the day but it's not a big difference.
I got off stimulants 20 years ago because I hated feeling like I was 'either on or off' and Straterra has given me a steady middle ground that's supremely pleasant. I was very against meds but after I hit 40 and was working from home over pandemic my symptoms just weren't manageable any more and Straterra helped immensely.
When milk of $5+ a gallon in most of the country, the solution isn't as simple as "cook at home" for those of us with a family to feed. Young Americans don't mean just 24 year olds.
Toddlers don't eat very much. I feeding a family of four including two teens. My point is that while individual foods are cheap, a balanced diet is still expensive, especially the foods for growing children. Milk, eggs, fresh produce, unprocessed meats, all are significantly more expensive than they were 5 years ago. Hell, even uncooked rice is up to $1/pound.
Would have gotten us both mental health drugs and therapy way sooner. Would have had some honest conversations way sooner than we had them. We wouldn't spend nearly so much time angsting about making other people, especially our parents, happy around the wedding itself because a lot of those things didn't matter in the long term but took away from our enjoyment of the event for our sake.
Yeah, Baldur’s Gate 3 for certain. Shadowheart, Astariaon and Wyll, left to right. The red icon mean Wyll has 70% chance to hit with that Eldritch Blast.
I was at a party with a bunch of friends getting pumped of a night of partying and the news stopped the party completely. Killed the vibe and we had a quiet night in. It was erie how it affected people.
Nah, they are too expensive to upkeep in the US. Grocery stores from Europe like Aldi keep trying the cart locks but we're very resistant to them and will do basically anything but put the coin in including break them.
Source on his being innocent? I don't remember that being even likely given the evidence, but it's been like 35 years so I'm curious what came to light.
I've got twin girls. We held off on smartphones until this past summer when they turned 13.
One couldn't wait to have a smart phone and now handles her own entire social life through it and is happier than ever now that she can communicate with her friends non stop.
The other simply did not want a phone. We asked a dozen times and she said she wasn't interested in one and didn't think she would use it. Since she's with her twin 75% of the time anyway we decided not to push.
Terminals are NOT computers. At least dumb terminals are not.

Yep, looks about right. The photo to too dark to see the .25" drives but with all those boxes, it's clear it gets use. I can almost hear that damn dot matrix printer though because I had that model one at home as a kid . That thing was LOUD.
Being a non-smoker back then was a giant pain-in-the-ass at any workplace too because any smoker could and would take a break for a cigarette once an hour and then so would the manager and they'd get to be buddies but if you were known as a non-smoker you didn't get a break because you "didn't need one" I knew dozens of people, especially in healthcare, who took up smoking because that was the time to be social with each other and the managers.
My husband tried to take an "apple break" when he was in the air force and his boss laughed at him. He just took up smoking again after that so that he could take the break.
Dozens of the people I've known personally and most of this was in the 90s and early 2000s. I was part of the "smoke free" class of 2000 and the anti-smoking education started in Kindergarten for us. Imagine dozens of 5 year olds crying as their teachers explained with songs and videos how the adults in our lives were all going to die horrible deaths and it was up to us kids to educate them and help them quit. In school, at least twice a year. Yet by the time we reached the workforce, smoking was still a big part of the working culture and I watched pretty much everyone I knew with a full time job take up smoking at one point or another.
Totally with you. I lost a lot of faith I had in NPR in their reporting during the run up to and early years of the Iraq war. Their coverage of the Sanders Democratic Primary runs of 2016 and 2020 was also pathetic. I managed to get a lot of my former Republican friends to listen to it instead of talk radio now but I personally have such a hard time with it.
All y'all getting preachy about "don't", think about how our society treats alcohol and then tell me how drugs are different enough to be "bad" when alcohol is legal and widespread. Everyone should be free to choose their intoxicants for themselves.
I agree that "vassal of horror" is an unusual turn of phrase but the amount of arguing about this post online just about that phrase alone is staggering. It almost makes wonder if the original note was written by a AI-bot since it's the exact kind of unique phrase that -sounds good- but hasn't come up organically yet in any other published work.
I just came off 15 years at Outlook companies to a Google everything office and I love not having Outlook for any reason. It's so nice. Just hearing the alert noise would raise my blood pressure after awhile.
Until I had twins I didn't know they have a word for those of us born one at a time, singleton.
Now I catch myself using it in regular conversation and have to try not to. Example: "I've got twins and my bestie has twins and a singleton so we have to travel in her 7-seater van for day trips."

I've seen a lot of posts here on Lemmy, specifically in the "fuck cars" communities as to how Electric Vehicles do pretty much nothing for the Climate, but I continue to see Climate activists everywhere try pushing so, so hard for Electric Vehicles....
They are two separate solutions for different phases of the problem.
Buying electric vehicles over internal combustion engines now is practical because most of us don't live in a reasonable commuting distance to our jobs.
Vote for politicians that support pedestrian friendly zoning practices, remote work, and mass transit for the future so that less people are stuck in that situation in 20 years.
Doing only one of them doesn't fully solve the problem, you either continue to pollute now or you are stuck polluting, albeit less, forever.
I'm sure it annoys people that both are necessary and if you happen to live in a situation where the first is unnecessary for you, it can look like it's not necessary for everyone. But most Americans live at least 20 miles from their workplace so the vast majority of us can't just wait for policy solutions.
Comics like this miss that due to the 15 year gap between generational groups, a family is likely 2 generations apart. Thus Boomers raised me, a Millennial, and I am raising Gen Alphas. My sister-in-law is an Xer and raised a Zoomer.
Also many of the best breakdowns of new memes are done by Millennials because we remember the wild early internet in all of it's Hamster Dance, All Your Base, Flying Spaghetti Monster glory.
