Across Europe there’s different recommendations in every country, and no evidence of different illness/mortality rates related to the recommendation.

France says tap water is safe for all ages.

If you’re in the US, I totally get why you might want to keep boiling your water, but remember that boiling doesn’t remove lead.

Also, I want it to go to people outside my org that I email back, not random spammers and salespeople.

For some reason, the only option is to use people in my addressbook which doesn’t auto populate and I never use.

There’s a bunch of women specific legislation in the equality act as well.

For example, it allows for the existence of women only spaces which include gyms, refuges and toilets.

If you say that women is used in its biological sense, you’re saying that trans men can use these spaces but trans women can’t.

However, the ehrc is going full terf and saying that despite the ruling that women is used in its biological sense, they think that all trans people should be prohibited from using some of these spaces.

The EHRC are political appointments that were selected for agreeing with the politics of the previous government.

That’s why they sound like anti trans activists.

The whole thing needs to be burnt down. There’s no room for political appointees in legal bodies.

You know open-source doesn’t mean publicly available. It means the person, or in this case the US government, that brought the software should have free access to the source code to edit and distribute it as they like.

So yes, the military should use something functional equivalent to open source to prevent vender lock in and to allow for external audits. They probably shouldn’t give it to Russia or make it freely available online though.

It’s actually worse than you’re making it sound.

Supplements are not just less regulated than drugs, they’re less regulated than food.

BMI works quite well for typical people.

Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it’s not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.

If you think it’s muscle and not fat, there’s another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio

But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you’re not as fit as you think.

Tariffs don’t work for service roles.

Anything where the output of the job isn’t physical, e.g. writing code, designing something, answering a phone, is super hard to track.

This is actually why the US seems to be running a trade deficit with so many countries. Companies like Google, Meta and Amazon take money from all over the world in exchange for services like advertising, and then it eventually gets spent on goods from other countries.

This actually doesn’t affect landlords because council tax is charged to people living in the house first, and only to the owner if no one is living there.

This primarily affects second home owners and short term lets, but there’s other renting reform coming as well, and this has already dropped house prices, so it’s a start.

If LLMs just copied stack overflow they’d respond to every question with “Closed as duplicate. Question already answered.”

This is what happens when giant equity funds buy your company. They use any excuse to rip off consumers.

Yeah but only because they’re pissed.

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

Because Tesla is a meme stock.

It’s price has always been completely decoupled from the number cars they sell, and depends on musk constantly lying and promising fully working humanoid robots and self driving taxis by next year.

Hey guys, I’ve found JD Vance’s lemmy account!

The text behind him in the poster.

The crown and gown just make him look like Biggie.
