Moderate drinking not better for health than abstaining, analysis suggests
  • Two Buck Chuck won awards because people assumed it would be worse than bottom shelf box of wine, and it was actually marginally better.

    That doesn't mean it tasted good, because it didn't.

    It was good for a $2 bottle of wine, but the $2 was doing the heavy lifting.

  • Moderate drinking not better for health than abstaining, analysis suggests
  • I realize that alcohol consumption is constantly being studied, and often those are funded by industry lobbies, so it's possible this information is 267 peer reviewed articles out of date, but....

    I thought that light drinkers lived longer, on average, then non drinkers because on average they are more social, and that increased social interaction was the biggest contributing factor to their increased life expectancy.

  • Mark Kelly now heavy favorite to be Harris’ running mate as he blasts JD Vance on Ukraine
  • Arizona is not a solidly blue state, and Mark Kelly is unusually popular for a senator.

    Arizona Democrats also don't have that deep of a bench to pull out a candidate that's a lock for a statewide race.

    I'm not saying it's impossible for any Democrat to win the election for Mark Kelly's seat, I am saying it's a significant risk that they probably won't want to take.

    And that's before taking into account that Arizona Democrats already have a handful with the seat being left open by their current manic pixie dream senator.

  • 'I was given a choice of bosses to sleep with': Life as a female paramedic in the UK
  • That's impossible, which you would know if you had read the comment I was replying to.

    If you had read it, you would have learned that in America the 2nd amendment has prevented if not all, then the overwhelming majority, of all sexual assaults and rapes.

    Which means that both men are dead.

  • 'I was given a choice of bosses to sleep with': Life as a female paramedic in the UK
  • Absolutely. Spot on. Rape doesn't exist in America and no American organizations could ever have a culture of abuse as described in this story.

    Out of curiosity , what did you wear to Bill Cosby's funeral? The same outfit you wore to Harvey Weinstein's funeral?

    I actually heard that people really believe that Hollywood is a haven for sexual predators and sexual abuse, including rape, is rampant throughout the American entertainment industry. Can you believe that?

    Don't they know the 2nd Amendment has eliminated both individual cases of rape and systemic sexual abuse?

    Anywho, do you have any plans on watching USA Gymnastics this year?

  • HIV ‘vaccine’ could be made for just $40 a year for every patient
  • Except the majority of the cutting edge R&D is done and/or funded via the public sector.

    Their R&D budget priorities are more focused on things like reformulating existing drugs to extend the patents and prevent opening the market to generic manufacturers.

    So yes, cheating patent laws and heavily spending on marketing and lobbying campaigns does eat into their profit margins a little bit.

    But I'm not sure how that justifies their unparalleled track record of pathologically sadistic business practices, such as the one highlighted in this article.

    Do you have a graph or chart for that?

  • CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem
  • .....you don't have OOBM on every single networked device and terminal? Have you never heard of the buddy system?

    You should probably start writing up an RFP. I'd suggest you also consider doubling up on the company issued phones per user.

    If they already have an ATT phone, get them a Verizon one as well, or vice versa.

    At my company we're already way past that. We're actually starting to import workers to provide human OOBM.

    You don't answer my call? I'll just text the migrant worker we chained to your leg to flick your ear until you pick up.

    Maybe that sounds extreme, but guess who's company wasn't impacted by the Crowdstrike outage.

  • CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed
  • RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.

    Maybe you add Gentoo, some post-CentOS clones/forks, or other more niche industry/workload specific distros, but how you do skip Debian?

  • Catwalk for neighbor's cat
  • Dogs aren't killing off native bird and rodent populations.

    Cats are the #1 invasive animal species in terms of killing off local wildlife, well, #2 if you want to include humans.

    There are certainly areas to criticize dog owners, but the two animals are not remotely close in terms of damage to local ecosystems.

  • Ex-CIA analyst charged with spying for South Korea
  • Allies spy on each other, it's not unusual or shocking.

    Eventually she will be exchanged as part of some backroom deal, or in exchange for someone imprisoned in SK for providing information to the CIA.

  • Secret Service ramped up security after receiving intel of Iranian plot to assassinate Trump; no known connection to shooting
  • You're operating under the assumption that this "intelligence" is legitimate or being provided in good faith.

    If we accept that this intelligence even exists, there is a big difference between a state sanctioned plot, and signal intercepts between a couple hard-line officers blowing smoke up each other's asses.

    All recent events show that Iran has consistently acted with restraint and moderation when dealing the theat of American military escalation.

    Color me skeptical that they would blow past all other major escalation paths, and skip straight to one that guarantees a multi-month long air campaign to flatten their entire country, followed by a ground invasion, and occupation.

    Iraq may have worked out strategically for Iran because of the cluster fuck that the occupation was, but that doesn't mean they want that for themselves.
