To pay tribute to this milestone, Mojang teamed up with Blockworks to create a massive map covering the entire history of the popular game.

Let’s not discount the potential effect of this idea. If we get 100% buy-in from all of the empowered pro-choice feminists who happen to be the primary sexual partners of anti-abortion lawmakers, we could be talking about threes or even fours of people.

Yep. You can cap interest rates, but you can’t force an institution that considers a particular loan to be risky to decide it’s less risky.

Then it is richly larded smoke flavored carcinogenic bullshit.

(it’s “paid content”, so take their findings with the requisite grains of salt)

Because a genuine toxic waste incinerator make certain that EVERY gram of material hits that temperature in an oxygen-rich environment. A bonfire has PLACES that are that hot—but the wood sitting on top and along the sides is exposed to a temperature gradient, with lots of it hot enough to achieve partial combustion…

Er... the usual reason for “buying local” is keeping down transportation costs. Eat what grows nearby, rather than something that’s basically similar that has to come a long way—whether it crosses any particular kind of border or not.

According to the paper, Biomonitoring of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs in a freshwater invertebrate to estimate toxic or effect pressure, after comparing the concentrations of what they found to how much of whatever-it-is needed to have a measurable effect, the substance closest to crossing the line is…

That’s a structural color. David McCowan - Is it safe to eat deli meats with that metallic sheen?

FDA’s operating on a shoestring. A clever bad actor can run rings around it. You’ll notice the Burzynski Clinic is still operating.

Well, that narrows it down.

Living authors do not usually ascend to a tangible level of fame.

Remember, folks, studies aren’t trying to answer “Does thing do thing?” so much as “How often and how much does thing do thing?” It may be obvious that dropping a bowling ball on an astrologer’s foot will hurt them, but it’s still worth doing if we can quantify how much it hurts. That may not be the best example.

If you want to know whether your grocery-store “uncured” bacon does have celery-derived nitrites in it, Levitt says you can just look at the list of ingredients, which would list celery-derived ingredients, sometimes listed as celery juice or “textured vegetable protein.”

An appropriate regulatory system would give consumers the power to choose products that are genuinely worthy of their labels and claims of health benefits.

“Cross your legs.  We only have three souvlaki.”

Actual gun or explosive: 20% chance of detection. (ABC News: Keyley & Cook - TSA fails most tests in latest undercover operation at US airports. “When ABC News asked the source if the failure rate was 80 percent, the response was, `You are in the ballpark.’”)
