i personally wouldn't trust these not to spy on you even disconnected. They can still scan for networks and bluetooth devices around you
i have a very specific recipe passed down in my family, i boil in a mix of water and vinegar for about 20-25 minutes, before roasting it in the oven with potatoes and garlic. That way the specific taste and especially the smell is brought down, but it's otherwise very tasty.

This also works for goat or sheep meat.

they do 10x worse on the general population.

Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives and be monitorised by independent organisation at all times, as they work for the benefit of the public

what's the difference
I personally know people that would claim a phoneless phone is useful, right away, without having used the device once, as long at it was released by Apple.

exactly, plus the author's warped understanding, like einstein reinventing the wheel for every equation to make it "more" perfect, whatever that means; or in multiple instances, drawing up conclusions and asking them, or presenting these as facts in the article.

or one article being split on 5 pages so I can see some ads in-between (not really the author's fault there though).

I saw people reuse the same mask for weeks, cloth or surgical. I think this is what some of the "experts" were referring to, that is even more dangerous than being maskless

Re:Why Alcohol Is the Deadliest Drug on Wednesday April 17, 2024 @06:10AM (#40062542)
yeah, seems to be one of those studies where the outcome was known from the start due to bias in the method.

>In an effort to offer a guide to policy makers in health, policing, and social care, Nutt's team rated drugs using a technique called multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) which assessed damage according to nine criteria on harm to the user and seven criteria on harm to others.

>Harms to the user included things such as drug-specific or drug-related death, damage to health, drug dependence and loss of relationships, while harms to others included crime, environmental damage, family conflict, international damage, economic cost, and damage to community cohesion.

>The scientists found alcohol was most harmful, with a score of 72, followed by heroin with 55 and crack with 54.

Indeed, because if I drink one beer it'll be 17% worse off than doing one dose of heroin.

My only gripe is that they seem to intentionally mislead readers by treating heavy users of alcohol the same way as light users of other harder drugs. Clearly, the issue is real, but actions like this will only worsen the public perception on the subject instead of re-affirming it.

I've made my revanced so that it doesn't have the shorts tab at all. Combined with the fact that I have the history turned off, so even if I open one video, I can't keep scrolling because YouTube won't give you recommendations anymore without the history. That's a win for me.
