Baller busta.

In this case that’s not even the issue. These public services by and large aren’t revenue neutral because they increase the functioning of the city. The problem is, the state doesn’t believe the city’s taxes should improve the city, but it really all belongs to rural communities. The fact that public transit that drives increased out of state spending that directly increased sales tax revenue isn’t even considered here because it’s purely a rural/urban thing.

What’s happening is the rural senators are yelling at Philadelphia about stealing their wallet because Philadelphia reached back while the senators had their hand in Philadelphia’s pocket.

What I always appreciate about this meme is that they picked Tou Thao to represent the Dem platform to Chauvin’s Republican. Thao famously denied any wrongdoing up to sentencing and described himself as a human traffic cone. As a result, he got a worse sentence than even other officers who put hands on Mr. Floyd(though not as bad as Chauvin of course). It really gives it layers.

Still not one cause though. Maybe a proximate cause but the bees have less forage due to monoculture and climate change screwing with plant cycles. This results in malnutrition and increased susceptibility to viruses. The anti mite drugs allowed them to limp along while feeding them sugar water till they got to orchards but obviously that’s not going to cut it. Competitive pollinator services racing to the bottom unsustainably leading to a mass die off as soon as more stress is introduced is the systemic issue at play here

Physical evidence must also be introduced by witnesses, often non police officer experts in that case. All evidence must be introduced by whoever can establish a chain of custody at the least. My point is you can’t plop evidence on the bench and ever expect it to testify but the cops complaining that they themselves aren’t the witness to introduce it is horseshit because evidentiary rules don’t require them to be.

It’s because he’s a quadzilla with undeveloped glutes. Explosive and significant short term power but incapable of extended endurance.

So if a police officer doesn’t witness a murder they’re unable to use evidence that’s introduced by somebody else at court? Give me a break. They just don’t want to do the deposition and affidavit legwork and hope the non police officer witness shows up in court to introduce evidence if challenged. It’s a more pain in the ass case that has more ways to fall apart (identification, the witness or the officer just not showing up) but it’s just laziness.

Early Proto Indo European genders were if things had agency/was animate/acted on the world or not. Was pretty much him and it. A car would be a him because it moves around. Same with a river or a weapon. A rock would be an it. A rolling boulder though becomes outside context, since now he’s an animate rock that has enough agency to kill you. You get enough of these inconsistencies and the language just loses the original plot and you just have to memorize it points to Germanic and romance languages

Yeah sailors had jerky, smoked meats, and dried meats and still got scurvy. Hudson Bay colony had pemmican and still had scurvy outbreaks. The problem is most of the sources you noted destroy much of the vitamin c. Pemmican is a super food for macros but sucks for micros and still needed some forage to supplement. Famously the Iroquois would use tea made from eastern white cedar to do so.

On your glut-4 note: glut-4 is important for cellular transportation and diabetes can harm it’s use leading to oxidative stress but it’s not significant in uptake from food to serum which is the important part when we’re talking about dietary vitamin c. It’s also really incorrect to say glucose wasn’t a factor in ancient diets. The Romans marched on porridge and bread. High carb diets are a defining feature of the neolithic and beyond.

Drying can work to a degree if it’s cold, but it really depends on how you dry it since vitamin c is water soluble. Anything heat dried(including sun dried, which over temp and time will oxidize the vitamin C) is out and osmosis like salt drying can bring the vitamin C along with the water into the salt. Modern sauerkraut is often pasturized so that’s pretty useless for vitamin C. Finally canned preserves are canned under high heat. These industrial processes are a major reason why scurvy was so hard to treat at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nobody could figure it out because they kept heat treating potential solutions. The British pasturized the lime juice at one point, for example.

Vitamin C is heat sensitive but fermentation is fine and a good reason why fermented cabbage is popular in places with cold winter. See kimchi and sauerkraut, as rice or rye alone would kill you over a long winter. Similar mechanics going on for andean freeze dried potatoes to a lesser extent. Beyond that, it’s straight up foraging for greens and berries but that only really works if you’re moving a small enough group of people to allow forage to be an option. Plenty of leafy greens from forage allowed enough vitamin c to stave off scurvy for many ancient armies and sailors(though not all). Cook notably would beat sailors who wouldn’t eat foraged greens. The other option was uncooked organ meats.

Activated carbon does absorb lead because it has a variety of binding sites that will bind to lead ions. The problem is, those binding sites are limited and will get quickly used up if you’re having to actually deal with any significant amount of lead and if you have other metal ions (like copper) trying to compete for binding sites the whole profile looks worse. This means if you’ve got hard water with a ton of competing ions, the filter will likely do dick for lead. So the Brita filters do do something, but if there’s an actual utility to what they do in regards to heavy metals depends on the water.

The cervix is just a door if you knock hard enough.

I mean it’ll still be a joke even if he gets elected, but it’s a bigger joke that’s largely independent of him.

What about naked?

Looks like it’s federated with blue sky, but I don’t really see the utility. Their moderation plan seems to be vibes.

Seriously. Dude is acting like he can’t see the floor because his dick is in the way. Be one thing if he had syncope due to blood flow. Just didn’t look.

Hilarious to say their high workload is the problem. Not wanting to pay actual scribes is the problem. That said, putting in orders and (to a lesser extent) progress notes through voice to text or inaccurate black box AI is fundamentally poorer care even if they’re later reviewed and signed. But then we circle back to that’s really all the payors are willing to pay for. Complex problem.

Pre print journalism fucking bugs me because the journalists themselves can’t actually judge if anything is worth discussing so they just look for click bait shit.

This methodology to discover what interventions do in human environments seems particularly deranged to me though:

We address this question using a novel method – generative social simulation – that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms.

LLM agents trained on social media dysfunction recreate it unfailingly. No shit. I understand they gave them personas to adopt as prompts, but prompts cannot and do not override training data. As we’ve seen multiple times over and over. LLMs fundamentally cannot maintain an identity from a prompt. They are context engines.

Particularly concerning sf the silo claims. LLMs riffing on a theme over extended interactions because the tokens keep coming up that way is expected behavior. LLMs are fundamentally incurious and even more prone to locking into one line of text than humans as the longer conversation reinforces it.

Determining the functionality of what the authors describe as a novel approach might be more warranted than making conclusions on it.

Cardinal getting his call right is an existential issue regarding reproductive fitness. Even if he could comprehend judging terminal internetites he wouldn’t place it as significant.
