I'd be careful with cut fruit, that in itself can be a huge vector, depending on the cleanliness of the utensils, hygene of the employee, and age and cleanliness of the fruit itself. The safest is skinned fruits that can be washed.

Unfortunately, stuff like salmonella can affect a broad spectrum of foods, from unprocessed to dry goods like cereals. Reporting health violations and diseases you get from food should be immediately tested for at the doctor and then reported to the CDC.

Our food safety standards could be much more stringent if we wanted them to be.

Could have been worse, he wasn't creampied like that anti-gay orange juice lady in the 70s or 80s.

Betty had a shit fucking day.

Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was thrown from her elevator car on the 80th floor and suffered severe burns. First aid workers placed her on another elevator car to transport her to the ground floor, but the cables supporting that elevator had been damaged in the incident, and it fell 75 stories, ending up in the basement.[13] Oliver survived the fall due to the softening cushion of air created by the falling elevator car within this elevator shaft; however, she had suffered a broken pelvis, back and neck when rescuers found her amongst the rubble.[14] This remains the world record for the longest survived elevator fall.

Shit, have you seen the western Canadian ones? Insanely close.

It's like those tests where people get shocked badly and then grow so bored by sitting still for 15 minutes that they voluntarily shock themselves multiple times just to cure boredom.

Except with permanent, life-altering consequences in some of these votes.

Vaccines. I got my mpox shots because it works across a broad spectrum of pox viruses. The mpox vaccine is actually just the modern smallpox vaccine! Not terribly common, but in the past decade or so, someone found a frozen vial of smallpox in a university lab freezer.

While unlikely that mpox or smallpox will ever completely blow up into a huge pandemic, it is good to have.

Cute fish! I love your plants :)

Breaking through the crust would be spicy.

Haha, that's almost impressive. But no, I will not be buying an LG monitor now.

Well, it was. 11 years of landfill leachate have probably taken their toll, not to mention that it was probably crushed immediately under literal tons of soggy rainwater trash.

Life with friends and family is much more valuable than some extra 000s. Money can't bring them back once they are gone. Nor can it be taken to the next life.

I've heard about this dude since like...2018. At some point you have to move on. Shit like that will consume you, and it's just not worth losing years of your life over it. Talk about a needle in a haystack.

Hello! I've had a watercooled PC for a number of years, but more recently it's been difficult to find EKWB Cryofluid Clear at reasonable prices. I'm thinking of switching to something like Mayhem's x1 coolant, or Alphacool's eiswater.

Any suggestions? Will it matter that some old fluid might still be trapped in a rad even after a flush? I'm hoping to not do a full teardown.

I'm thinking about going with this:

A 12 year old submitter her design and overwhelmingly won the competition. The stickers should be coming out this election, see if you can snag one if you live there!

 

Please vote in the general election this fall! 54 people in the state determined the outcome of the primary!

This is the person who controls all five million acres of public lands and forest fire management.

 

Salivating for mid-block crosswalks, more armored bike lanes, daylit intersections, and more on the west coast, too.

 

RealPage, maker of YieldStar, is almost singlehandedly the ones causing rent to skyrocket across much of the United States.

One of the algorithm’s developers told ProPublica that leasing agents had “too much empathy” compared to computer generated pricing.

You can learn more about them here and why this antitrust case is so important:

Very invasive, like bedbugs of the garden. They prey on grapevines and other plants in your garden, and are spreading quickly. Kill them if you see them or their mud-like eggs!

 

I love stories like these: scientists and the NIH working to create a cure for an unprofitable disease, just because it would make the world a better place. And in the interim, making new discoveries that might potentially benefit society at large.

 

Perhaps we shouldn't start deep sea mining yet.
