Pretty sure I just got anti-bribery ethics and compliance training that said no one in my company is allowed to accept such gifts lol

I’m not sure I’d call US sunscreens way worse (they are still very effective at blocking UVB, just not UVA as effectively), but there are definitely better options abroad. There definitely aren’t many options; that’s part of why Hawaii banning two common sunscreen ingredients for marine toxicity reasons was such a big deal.

Not saying that it’s necessarily a bad option, but my biggest issue with delta chat is that it does not offer forward secrecy (if a user’s private key is compromised, past messages can be revealed); Signal does. Delta no question beats signal in decentralization, though email is less decentralized than it seems–how many people do you know who still use gmail? Delta also inherently leaks metadata on whom you’re communicating with to the email host (that’s just imap/smtp). Signal can mitigate this somewhat with Sealed Sender (which gives one-way anonymity), though it can be broken with statistical analysis, and signal metadata is more identifying due to requiring a phone number.

FYI, while Threema front-end clients (apps) are open-source (and offer reproducible builds, which is surprisingly uncommon in open-source land), the server component, though supposedly audited, remains closed-source.

EDIT: for comparison, the Signal server code is mostly open source, but things like the spam filter are closed.

Back in my day there was an element called unununium until some nuclear scientists bismuth-munching paper-pushers with nickel allergies decided in 2004 that they liked Röntgen more than Regirock.

And before anyone checks, R/S were released in 2002 in Japan and 2003 internationally.

My vigour returned and in truth I thrived, and to think I take up sugar now! Banting and co shared a Nobel Prize and their work saved north’ard of a million lives, Nobel them all!

I was lost to cruel disease when a miracle cure saved mother her son. Dried her tears, now I’m a croakin’ man but I’ll never more fear the last of Banting’s imparted years!

For those who did a search only to get back pages of less-than-useless SEO slop that just recites the number line, here is something that better describes some of the grammatical insanity.

also, czterydzieści cztery is imo one of the less pronounceable words (well, two of them) in Polish.

Sure, there may be a maximal element, but not necessarily a maximum (there might be multiple people of equal and maximal gayness, not just one person).

Also, not relevent to the logic here per se, but last time this went around the conclusion was that a spectrum implies a total order, not just partial.

Yes, on the rare occasion I cook meat. Too unpracticed otherwise. I originally got one because I’m colorblind and was scared of undercooking red meat and tired of eating leather. As a bonus, I used it to get the temperature right when I got into fancier teas and inadvertently trained myself to judge the temperature of water pouring into my mug by the sound it makes within a couple °C, which is kinda neat. Now, if I could figure out how to do something similar so I stop overcooking food, that’d be grand…

On the other hand having a manager willing to yell at/stonewall the MBAs when they deliberately lie about misinterpret your recommendations and timelines is a godsend.

Off during the day and between 17 and 20 °C when sleeping depending on the season.

A French-American guy (grew up in US) in my school described an encounter at a zoo when he was a young. Apparently, he ran up to the exhibit and shouted, “look! it’s a daddy fuck and a mommy fuck with a baby fuck!”, much to the chagrin of his parents.

Oh, I’m sure this’ll end well.

Nijmegen? Is it particularly exceptional, or just normal Dutch? /'nɛɪ.meː.ɣə(n)/, in a GenAm accent I would imagine something like NYE-may-ghen or NAY-may-ghen… but being American, it’s not something I’ve ever actually heard one of my compatriots say aloud.
