Per the FDA, there is no known safe amount of lead exposure. If it’s in something you want to minimize your exposure to it.

That’s basically what Angels Flight in Los Angeles is. Locals got sick of walking up the fuck off steep hill and built a 300 foot rail to go up and down it.

Yeah, I was gonna say whatever is going on with his spine might be hiding a few inches. You’d be amazed how many inches you can lose to curvature without looking like Quasimodo.

But I doubt he was ever 6’3”. That sounds like a number he picked years ago because someone he hates is 6’2”.

The reason IP exists isn’t a whatabout, it kinda sounds like you just don’t want to hear about anyone other than giant corporations benefitting from it.

In what sense is a ladder getting pulled up if IP is respected? Anyone can make a new IP, there’s not a limited supply of imagination. You can’t make everyone like what you come up with or buy it, but why should that entitle you to being able to profit off someone else’s work?

The imbalance against giant corporations isn’t anything to sneeze at, but there are just as many (probably more) small time companies breaking copyright law and hoping nobody notices. For example, stealing artwork to print on cheap crap that you sell below what the creator is selling them for. If they’re in an area that recognizes that copyright then they’re going to lose every time, and they’re not going to have enough money to drag it out. After that happens artists can recover all the earnings that were made with their work. Without that the artist is just fucked.

Since its 25th anniversary of its western release just passed and it’s on my mind, Princess Mononoke is a good one. It’s bloody but tasteful.

I always assumed they were just getting into it, assuming you aren’t talking about expressions caused by just playing the instrument in general (like with brass and wind instruments).

The comment you just replied to was my first comment in this thread. Perhaps read usernames before accusing other people of being too stupid to think, lol.

Maybe you should direct this at the comment thread OP, who is the one that brought up Biden to begin with?

I’m sorry you had to deal with that as a kid.

Hmm… microplastics or flu and herpes… school didn’t prepare me for these decisions.

There are also plenty of reasons “healthy” foods might absolutely fuck with your health, even if you’re not eating a ridiculous amount of them. For example whole wheat is a perfectly fine food to have in your diet, unless you have celiac disease and don’t realize it yet.

A considerable number of lgbt, Latinos and African-Americans voted for Trump than before.

No the fuck we did not.

LGBT voters shifted even more solidly into the Democratic camp this year, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. Harris led President-elect Trump 86% to 12% among LGBT voters, the poll found. That’s a 15-point change from 2020, when Trump won 27% of the LGBT vote against Biden.

Do not put that evil on us.

Absolutely, conditions like that kill people.

The weather this week where they are has highs in the 90s, lows in the 70s, and 60% humidity. So yeah in a place that’s crowded with likely inadequate air conditioning it’s probably hot as shit.

It was a test lick! I’m very well hydrated!

They fucking deflated him 😭

Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.

My knowledge is more related to the meat side of things than the egg side honestly, but here’s a citation: 70 percent of chicken farmers with no other job live below the poverty line. That’s not people who work on a chicken farm (although they’re certainly not paid well either), that’s the people who own it.

These farms may technically be ‘small scale’ in that they aren’t owned by a giant corporation, but they often contain multiple times as many chickens as their European counterparts, in more crowded conditions, which is part of why disease spreads so fast.

For meat, the reason the farmers are in this mess is because separate companies buy and process the chicken, and they won’t buy from you if you don’t follow their arbitrary and frequently changing guidelines. They also don’t pay a given amount per pound, they pay you depending on the yields other chicken farmers got on their farms. And the farmers don’t have another place to sell their chickens, it’s these companies or nothing, as 20 companies control basically the entire US market.
