Not that I've ever heard.

Why would one need a trustless distributed system to store document deltas published by an inherently trusted entity (federal government)?

Whether by brute force or by way of clever tricks, the fact that they reverse engineered the source of these curves is impressive.

No more sound ordinance, just install Neuralink and receive free auto-mute during sleeping hours.
Agreed. So who are the outsider chumps taking the other ends of these bets? At this point, it doesn’t make sense to participate unless you’re an insider.
Nice - if you can find a Redbox in your area, they seem to allow _very_ long rental periods these days :)

incredible work!

such a nice way to remember their fallen teammates at the end there.

The thing about gold is, it’s probably quite easy to secretly leave to your heirs.
No need. Just hurry up, sign on, and buy tickets.
You are absolutely right!

Would you to explore some more examples of human to human conversation throughout history?

If I had to guess, “hot dog” would be the first thing I’d try. “Vegetable dog” was given as 0, and it may be alluding to a Silicon Valley episode.

Is that a lot? Seems relatively inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but perhaps a warning of larger moves to come.

How do you incorporate Vitamin B12 into your diet?

So you’re proposing that the FDA should promote a vegan diet to cater to the lowest common denominator?

Politics aside, the omega6:3 ratio and PUFA content of tallow is favorable.
Re:Is Beef Tallow making a comeback? on Saturday January 10, 2026 @05:56PM (#46570799)
The omega6:3 ratio and PUFA content of tallow is favorable.

Canola and other seed oils are made using toxic solvents which are not full removed from the final product.

Re:Is Beef Tallow making a comeback? on Saturday January 10, 2026 @05:56PM (#46570796)
I don’t particularly trust any claims from previous administrations’ health departments, let alone this one.

Politics aside, the omega6:3 ratio and PUFA content of tallow is favorable.

Re:Is Beef Tallow making a comeback? on Saturday January 10, 2026 @05:54PM (#46570777)
Beef tallow has a favorable omega 6 to omega 3 ratio and low levels of PUFAs, compared to seed oils and other cooking fats.

I recommend reading the article.

Re:Is Beef Tallow making a comeback? on Saturday January 10, 2026 @05:47PM (#46570721)
Remove whatever politics you might believe from the equation.

Is beef tallow a better option for a cooking fat? I think it is.

Yes, that's the part that needs to be fixed.

What a strange concept, owner of a shipwreck... But, indeed, TFA links to a Q&A with the British owner who purchased the wreck in 1996:
