They're providing a sweetener at all times. That alone would have some affect, so I'd think you'd want another sweetenere like sucrose, glucose, some other artificial sweetener, in addition to a water treatment. Alternatively, a dose response could be informative. They did have different doses of aspartame, but in both groups of mice (male and female), the dose response was opposite what you'd expect; the lower dose had a larger effect.

By wheel of fortune rules, y is always a consonant. But by typical rules of English, y is a vowel in rhythm.

Same here and everywhere I visit in the US. One brewery will have 5 different IPAs. And the people in the comments here - "There's variety! The stores are full of different IPAs!"

There was a while when everything was watery beer, Bud Light, Coors etc. Then there was a sort of golden era, with lots of variety and lots of companies. There was certainly a good bit of crap, but the huge variety meant that there was always something good to drink. Now we've gone back to consolidation, with only two companies in the entire world, and only one kind of beer: poorly done IPAs. Monopolies are bad for consumers. No one wants to buy this piss.

If you're not already aware, nickel is toxic. You should look up care and use of nickel cookware.

The fact that results are worse because the Internet is worse is certainly a talking point Google is currently pushing hard. It's nonsense of course. The Internet was absolute, abysmal garbage when Google was created, mostly filled with junk Web sites made by conmen, narcissists and high school kids. In short, it was no different from today. Google pulled up the tiny portion of value from the dredges, and it did so for years even as people kept churning out junk. The fact that they could filter through the immense pile of junk was, until recently, a key feature they marketed about themselves. What has changed recently isn't the proportion of junk on the Internet. It's how Google ranks its searches and the fact that now Google gets a large portion of its revenue selling ads on sites, sites it lists in its search results.

This is an article describing someone impersonating an officer and submitting a fake warrant. It's incredible that Verizon fell for it, but what does it have to do with SMS?

The control was plain water. That seems like the sort of methodological flaw that would preclude a study from publication in a journal like PNAS.

Rather that individuals setting up or seeking out an instance, I could see institutes whose members produce content using it, but they'd have to really care about avoiding YouTube. Blender foundation is an example, and they have a peer tube instance, but maybe universities, nonprofits, or research institutions.

There's not exactly a shortage of things that don't work well on Linux, but Bluetooth problems seem unfair to pin on it. Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere.

You're saying that states shouldn't uphold the law.

Haha, "bothered to upgrade". What upgrade?
