    It's an age old truism. Whatever humans can do to screw up, automation/computers can do it faster.

    The Lancet study shows that there is trace amount of the vaccine mRNA in breast milk, presumably the study takes no position on whether that is a "safety" issue (otherwise it would have been bigger news and Public would have cited that part). Given the above, the Lancet study does not support that claim that the CDC "lied about safety" even if the CDC "had repeatedly assured pregnant and breastfeeding women that it was safe to get vaccinated." But the fact that it IS there should not have been censored by Meta. Had Public's claim been limited to stating that trace amounts of mRNA is there in breast milk, that would have been an accurate restatement of the Lancet study's finding; but Public went outside of accurately restating the study's finding and went into the territory of accusing a public health agency of "lying" about "safety" -- this is not supported by the Lancet study. This went beyond citing a study and got into sensationalism and scare mongering. For that, I have to sympathy for Public's article being limited by Meta/Facebook. (Show me that the Lancet study says that the trace amount of mRNA in breast milk is unsafe and I am ready to change my mind on this.) Facebook/Meta is a private platform/enterprise. If you don't like Facebook/Meta, go post your stuff somewhere else (like, say, Substack). Facebook/Meta owes Public no duty to carry or promote any of Public's posts or articles.

    Don’t know about the US but we have been making patio bricks and other high foot traffic ground covers here out of locally recycled tires for the last fifteen or more years. Fairly well established business that exports products internationally.

    The poor protestors asked the judge if they could go back to Texas and Zoom in for their hearings. He said nahh..you hang around. The gall. You shut down a bridge, inconveniencing hundreds of commuters, then you want to go home because it would be more convenient? Then they were told to stay away from that particular bridge, and they asked what if they needed to cross it? Judge said find another bridge.

    Well, if waist-to-hip ratio is a more meaningful number, then I wouldn't mind using that in place of BMI. It's similarly easy to measure.

    @Mik said in The new Chevelle SS: Looks like a rebranded Camaro to me, but it seems nostalgia sells. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/10-ways-the-new-chevelle-70-ss-reignites-the-muscle-car-market/ar-AA1hIe5k?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=79151d3e1c004f4096f892b29a0e7d40&ei=19 Extended hood, different grill and lights, but yearly, I see what you’re saying. Still, that’s a hell of an engine.

    @89th said in Nope.: Looks fun. The drone shooting the video should've gone with a wide angle lens in landscape mode. Depends on what platform they were shooting for. Portrait is where it's at for most of t3h socials.
