AlpacaChariot,

More similar to Sunak calling the current General Election. It’s very unlikely they will win but they have to do something rather than let it get even worse!

AlpacaChariot,

Even if you do stick your fingers in the outlets, it’s not a problem if you use a good socket

AlpacaChariot,

That’s true, however people can be junior doctors for a surprisingly long time so you can see why they are pissed off! I assumed it was the first 3 years after graduation or something until one of my friends who is a doctor explained it to me.

Junior doctors are qualified doctors in clinical training.

They have completed a medical degree and can have up to nine years’ of working experience as a hospital doctor, depending on their specialty, or up to five years working and gaining experience to become a general practitioner (GP).

AlpacaChariot,

Difficult for them though isn’t it? In reality, they can’t do anything but line up behind any plausible peace proposal that is brokered by another country. We’re not in a position to be the mediators this time.

They can’t come out and say they will do something specific (unless it’s just words, strongly condemn etc) because it will be hung around their necks when it doesn’t happen.

AlpacaChariot,

You could probably block it using the element picker tool in ublock origin

AlpacaChariot,

Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.

Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software...

AlpacaChariot,

Have you turned off Firefox’s built-in enhanced tracking protection? If not, turn it off but leave uBlock Origin on and see if that solves your issue.

The questions I had are:

  • Do we use flash pasteurisation in the UK?
  • How high is the residual risk for flash pasteurised milk?

Yes we do use flash pasteurisation in the UK.

www.dairycouncil.co.uk/…/pasteurisation

Residual risk for flash pasteurised milk is high enough to be concerning, but the study didn’t follow exactly the same process as industry does during pasteurisation, and those extra steps may also help to kill the virus. So we probably need another study to add in those other steps and see if the virus survives or not.

Not ideal though.

Heating the milk to 72 degrees Celsius, or 181 degrees Fahrenheit, for 15 or 20 seconds — conditions that approximated flash pasteurization — greatly reduced levels of the virus in the milk, but it didn’t inactivate it completely.

Milk samples heated for 15 or 20 seconds were still able to infect incubated chicken eggs, a test the US Food and Drug Administration has called the gold-standard for determining whether viruses remain infectious in milk.

“But, we emphasize that the conditions used in our laboratory study are not identical to the large-scale industrial treatment of raw milk,” senior study author Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist who specializes in the study of flu and Ebola, said in an email.

That’s a good reason not to panic over the study findings, said Lakdawala.

Lakdawala said that commercial flash pasteurization involves a preheating step, which wasn’t done here. It also involves homogenization, a process that emulsifies the fat globules in milk so the cream won’t separate. Both of those steps would probably make it harder for the virus to survive, but she adds that the results of this study suggest full process of commercial flash pasteurization should be done “with all the steps in place.”

AlpacaChariot,

I looked into these before and believe the inverters shut off if the mains shuts off. The DC side of the circuit would still be potentially dangerous though.

The inverters need there to be power in the mains circuit because they convert DC to AC and match the phase of the AC power they are generating to the mains supply.

AlpacaChariot,

I had assumed the women weren’t sterilised by the normal contraceptive meds, but it seems they used a large dose of Depo-Provera which is a legit contraceptive injection. Not the usual pills but still.

There are also stories in that article of people having forced hysterectomies.

America’s history of racism is so dark.

AlpacaChariot,

You can’t spell government without gove.

The Tories are done.

AlpacaChariot,

We have a while to wait before everyone has microdiamonds in their testicles, but one day we’ll get there!

Trump Demands Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debating and Claims the President Was ‘High as a Kite’ During the State of the Union (www.mediaite.com)

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

I don’t know about your personal situation, and it may be different for whatever you are suffering with, however the part you quoted is true for a lot of cases.

Having just looked after my wife through a period of ~3 years really severe depression I’ve seen it first hand, it completely changed her personality and outlook and she was saying all kinds of stuff she’s quite embarrassed by now. She genuinely couldn’t think straight at all or see any way out, and in that moment if offered the choice to die she might have taken it (a fact she is quite scared by now, having mostly recovered).

Similar story with my brother, who has bipolar… when he’s manic he has an absolute inability to hold a train of thoughts together for longer than 30 seconds. When he’s depressed it’s absolutely awful. He’s now stable and enjoying his life.

I’m not arguing that this shouldn’t be an option for some very extreme chronic conditions, but it’s obviously complicated.

AlpacaChariot,

(I think the heat is good when you almost feel it in your nipples.)

Sorry what?

AlpacaChariot,

Well I have to hand it to you, there’s a kind of mad logic to it!

AlpacaChariot,

Must be difficult for people who worked at Tesla for years before Musk bought it.

I’ve worked at my company for 10 years, I’d find it difficult to just leave straight away if some dickhead venture capitalist bought it and started fucking it up.

AlpacaChariot,

Are you taxed based on your yearly income, or month by month?

AlpacaChariot,

She’s not standing at the next election so they probably just thought it was a free hit on the Tories with basically no consequences in the medium to long term. Fair enough IMO.

AlpacaChariot,

“You used far too much orange!”, the teacher said. And the rest is history…

AlpacaChariot,

The TV show Fortitude has a similar plotline. Would recommend!
