    It’s so bizarre to see this discussion play out on the basis of “health”

    Because there is a legitimate discussion to be had about the economics of how milk pasteurization requirements have affected local dairy farms. How the unsanitary conditions of industrial scale milk production have made it a necessity. How marketing and corporate interests have shifted consumption patterns.

    And yet these fucking dipshits have turned this in to “pasteurized milk personally harms you!” In grifter circles.

    How screwed are we that we can’t talk about the complexities of how corporate farming practices have effected our food supplies with out couching it in terms of “health food”.

    I cannot express how much I hate the term “health food”. There is no such fucking thing as a “health food”.

    It makes me want to rip my hair out when these topics come up.


  • As someone else said, it’s a betting site, and the numbers it is showing are based on how much has been bet on any given candidate.

    I think it’s fair to say that it’s not a reliable indicator of actual odds. It’s essentially a money weighted poll from a self selected population (people who would use an online betting site to bet on an election). So, it is not a good random sample of American voters, let alone a random sample of voters from swing states that actually decide the outcome.


  • Any Linux distribution should work on AMD CPUs, well, Debian based distros can sometimes have issues with particularly new hardware due to the long time between releases. But bazzite is fedora based so you should be fine with anything.

    Nvidia GPUs work just fine with AMD CPUs.

    Realistically the question is how high end of a CPU do you want, the mid to high end range AMD CPUs tend to be cheaper than their intel equivalents, but the highest end intel chips edge out the highest end AMD chips right now. Realistically, that won’t matter unless you are doing something super CPU intensive and just want the most power possible for your machine.

    AMD CPUs also have better integrated graphics, not super important if you have a dedicated GPU, but, there are times when having a second somewhat capable graphics processor could be useful.

    He absolutely talked about the sites numbers being artificially high due to bots when he was buying it, even tried to use it to get out of the legal obligation to buy it.

    We’ve also seen his gutting of the moderation system cause a huge influx of bots and bot interactions, not to mention other stuff that advertisers don’t want their ads to be next to.

    Like he really has played him self and is having a temper tantrum at having to face the consequences of his own actions.

    It’s even worse than that.

    It’s like he bought another kids lemonade stand while claiming the other kid was pissing in the jug to make it look like they had more.

    Then pissing in the jug in full view of everyone else to make it look like he had more.

    And then tried to sue passers by for not buying his piss filled lemonade.

    Piss being bots and spam accounts, and the passers buy being advertisers who want actual engagement from users.





  • Especially because that’s just the sandwich, not a side and a drink. A combo meal is like 10.15$

    I’m sorry but the quality of the food does not justify 10 dollars.

    For comparison, I remember in Berlin not even 5 years ago I got a currywurst with fries and a drink for 3.60 € (about 3.90$), and in London I got an absolute mound of fish and chips with peas for like 6.50 £ (about 8$). Both of these I got as much or way more food than a Big Mac combo and they were much better quality.

    Yah, mushrooms are not that hard to identify if you know what to look for. I worry people who do not know what to look for will be far too confident with such an imperfect tool.

    Especially with the growth of demand for foraged mushrooms in restaurants and supermarkets. It’s big money, and I have no doubt some “enterprising” people are going to get people hurt by trusting these tools too much.
