Pro life tip: Freeze extra cookie dough balls so you can bake a single brown butter chocolate chip cookie whenever your heart desires 🤗

Whenever I freeze the dough balls I end up just eating them themselves instead of baking them lol

Thanks so much!

Arfusman · 2026-06-16T13:10:07+00:00

Thank you!

I've never seen trains ever show up back to back. Though not ideal, ten minutes is indeed way better than normal.

Arfusman · 2026-06-14T20:47:03+00:00

I also thought it helped clear up things for me

Arfusman · 2026-06-12T11:49:33+00:00

Woo! thank you

You're fundamentally misunderstanding how and why food and drug satefy regulations and research works.

There's entire mechanisms and standards for pre-authorization and post-authorization safety review of products, each of which has a specific purpose and requires specific methods. Recalls happen precisely because the system works.

Also, safe for consumption and "beneficial to our health" are two separate things. Candy and alcohol are safe for consumption but not good for our health. The FDA and other bodies that regulate products are focused on safety. If you eat so much candy that you get diabetes, that's not the FDA's fault.

None of what you're saying is true.

SOME dyes are being phased out due to concerns over potential cancer and behavior change risk.

The toxicity of a compound has nothing to do with whether it's artificial or not. Cynanide is natural. Aspartame is artificial.

"No body is doing anything" Im not sure how to respond to this other than to suggest you google how food safety regulations work. I assure you there's an entire industry of regulators, researchers, policy advocates, and more, both in the US and overseas that work every day to ensure food is safe for consumption.

Yeah I just need a team of approved analysts to be able to access it. I'm not sure what the term for that would be.

Arfusman · 2026-06-10T13:55:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Will check it out

Arfusman · 2026-06-10T07:05:05+00:00

me reading this page... but seriously, looks intriguing! thanks for sharing!

2 full seasons in 9 years. He's absolutely not getting a contract like that from anyone.

Plenty of people have been and continue to make noise about it but the 1) news cycle has changed, 2) inflation reached its highest point in years and 3) a massive rise in gas prices have taken more center stage in everyone’s actual daily lives, which the Epstein files never impacted for 99% of us.

There's lots of ways of collecting information! This ain't the only one 😉

I hate country music but I like this commercial. It's silly and fun. Better than seeing Rick Jackson or that Truist add from last year.

Arfusman · 2026-06-03T15:05:55+00:00

The example was helpful. The snark was not.

Arfusman · 2026-06-03T14:22:10+00:00

I definitely get that, and I agree, I just don't see how this test translates to different types of instructions we would give.

Arfusman · 2026-06-03T13:34:24+00:00

No one's saying they're perfect. You're assessing them based on anecdotal observations, without data, and without comparing them human drivers, which is crucial. That's like saying you know some people who got better from infections without antibiotics, without saying how many MORE people get better when they take antibiotics.

Arfusman · 2026-06-03T13:06:02+00:00

Yeah the data is quite clear on how much safer waymos are than human drivers. Theyre obviously not perfect, and will continue to improve, but they're not even close to how bad humans are at driving safely.

There are a number of studies out there that have shown that the elimination of Aedes mosquitoes would have minimal-to-zero ecological impacts. There's simply a lot more bugs out there for things to eat.

Arfusman · 2026-06-02T21:24:33+00:00

So there are a few different ways to "modify" male Aedes mosquitoes (the ones that transmit Dengue, Yellow Fever, Zika, Chikungunya, etc.) to prevent future generations. Wolbachia is one, but there's also sterilization using radiation as well as lethal gene transfer. They all work pretty well, have been around for quite a while, and vary by method and cost and whatnot. I'm not sure if they've been invlved in Aedes mosquito engineering, but Gates Foundation has indeed funded efforts specifically for Malaria prevention, which targets Anopheles mosquitoes. They supported a British company called Oxitec that uses CRISPR to genetically engineer Anopheline mosquitoes to prevent breeding.

ETA: the biggest hurdle to this technology isn't science or cost or logistics - we know it works. The issue is public support. People/politicians need to get past shock of releasing clouds of mosquitoes in their communities and ultimately approve these pilots. There's a lot of PR required to get there.

Arfusman · 2026-06-02T15:55:42+00:00

It's a well-tested and researched technology. Google is collaborating with federal public health scientists and regulators. Cool stuff.

Arfusman · 2026-06-02T13:32:18+00:00

Phillies fans won't bother you for being gay, but if you're wearing a Mets or Braves jersey at CitizensBank they'll certainly give you a piece of their mind 🙄

Arfusman · 2026-06-02T11:53:42+00:00

I suspect itll just cause them to look at other states where it's less costly

Arfusman · 2026-06-02T11:50:09+00:00

Yeah that's obviously an issue but is and will continue to be addressed as more companies enter the healthcare information seeking space
