ONT is not Ontario, Canada. It’s Ontario, California, which is in San Bernardino County. It would make no sense to have a single airport for Ontario, Canada, as it is larger than several US states.

Honestly, I don’t think they hate women -- but they do not believe in anything they don’t understand, and women are understudied.

A lot of the time when you “delete” information from websites, it just goes into a table with a flag “isDeleted,” or a timestamp in a “deleted_datetime” -- it’s not gone, it’s just flagged. I would not trust Twitter not to share information that users deleted, especially if a bunch of folks try to do it en masse.

Closest I can come is the following:

It’s not that the programmers are racist. But the systems they built and the ones they operate in have disparate racial impacts, and those impacts didn’t get noticed before getting to the marketplace and the consumer because there aren’t enough perspectives making decisions in the industry, and recognizing the…

It’s always too soon to talk about banning guns. It’s apparently never too soon to dehumanize victims.

This wasn’t the same car or driver, but about a month ago I was a witness to a hit and run on Queens Boulevard at 46th. Dude in an SUV with an obfuscated license plate sideswiped a teenager/younger 20-something on a motor scooter. The driver got out, gaslighted the kid about how it was actually _his_ fault, stuck…

When I lived in San Diego, I had an acquaintance who worked in purchasing for the US Navy. He told me that all branches of the military must preferentially source from prison labor first, and may only buy from other suppliers if they can’t get what they need from places like Unicor.

Mandarin and Hokkien are related — they are both in the Sino-Tibetan language family, although Hokkien is a Southern Min variety and Mandarin is a Northern Han variety. They are not mutually intelligible, but it’s not just Meta _saying_ that Mandarin and Hokkien are related. They are, just as much as Cantonese and…

Fuck, man. I feel bad about wobbling my G-cups around my Queens apartment without a top on when it’s 95F out; I _wish_ I could get away with being out and about with no bra in September.

Did people get this prior to the legalization of weed? I mean we’ve all known stoners who are high all the time [hello, friends of mine who went to art school].

What is the rate of incidence of this? Is this a real thing? Why wasn’t it happening previously?

That’s an association study and the article you cite itself suggests that the underlying cause of the poor health outcomes may be lack of sleep at night, not napping per se. They’re not suggesting a causal link between napping and having a stroke.

Christ. “Reliable enough” as a diagnostic criterion for whether to prescribe a medication like PreP seems like a sure-fire way to prevent minority communities from being able to access it.

I 100% concur. Don’t just tell folks “you won’t get it right if you try.” Tell them what needs to be in it. So frustrating.

I’ve been here on Jez for probably over a decade now. I continue to be greyed. I’m not even sure if you’ll get to read this, because of how messed up Kinja has become, but man do I wish I understood the vagaries of becoming ungrey.

Before we used machine learning for this, folks just wrote rule-based sql queries to automate this. The false-positive rates were absurd, as, likely, were the false negative rates. Machine learning at least is statistically optimal based on the data it was trained on, and how flexible the formula it learns _can be_ —…

During a heat wave in Eastern Ontario several years ago, my Grandmother had a bout of delirium that required hospitalization. My sister, who is a nurse, thinks that it was ultimately the result of low blood sugar and dehydration. All of this rings true to me.

Off topic but -- SNS didn’t happen again, huh.

It really seems like this site might be on its way out -- if anyone has suggestions on where the folks who used to frequent Jez have gone, I’m all ears. There’s less and less content, and the community feels pretty empty these days....

You know egg yolks are also full of lecithin, right? That’s why they’re used to emulsify fat and water in ice cream, for instance...
