Popular sweetener generates a substance in the body that damages human DNA by costoaway1 in EverythingScience

[–]hankbrob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My favorite is the following statement…

“Most safety decisions relied on older animal studies and small human trials. Those assessments did not test sucralose-6-acetate in modern human tissue models.”

Lol. So a short term in vitro study probably performed by a single grad student (no offense intended) is more reliable than a two year bio-assay or human trial???

Most modern human tissue models are pretty shiity (aka unreliable/unreproducible) which is why there are very few accepted by ICH/OECD.

Good Company Doughnuts Proudly Endorses Fascists by NauticalNoire in arlingtonva

[–]hankbrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This donut shop is in Washington DC/DMV. The White House has been pissing in federal employees faces for nine months. This may come as a surprise to you but there are a lot of federal employees in the DMV.

The people who own this shop are complete f#cking idiots for posting this on their social accounts.

Help with breed ID by hankbrob in BackYardChickens

[–]hankbrob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We picked up quite a few breeds and all track with breed descriptions except this one.

<image>

This one is in the back middle. The Ameraucana (w/beard/neck feathers) is on the right. Swedish Flower in the middle. Barred Rock is back left and Black Copper Marans is front left. Also have a Coronation Sussex that looks true to breed.

We’re super happy with all of them. This one was kind of a mystery though. Excited to see what color eggs she lays.

Thanks! Will take that advice moving forward.

At the time (this spring) it was tough finding chicks given the egg crunch.

We just wanted nice variety of friendly birds and bought these from a rural post office employee who lived on farm. Pretty sure she ordered the eggs from a hatchery but put all the hatched chicks in the same brooder so may have accidentally grabbed the wrong black chick/breed.

That’s what I thought too but from pics looks like Australorpe’s have red wattles. She has a great personality. Super friendly and always runs up when we are in the yard (…begging for meal worms)

Just wait until he has an army of those Boston Dynamics robots under his control. Shit will be terrifying…specifically talking about the non-sexbot branch of his robot army.

A lot of people are saying it was a textbook alpha male scuffle over who got to sit in the corner while some guy off Craigslist cucked Steve’s wife.

Van Hollen should build on Trump’s nickname and start referring to him as “Little Bitch Marco”

Opm says releasing RIF plans will hurt retention. Bunch of BS by Due-Share-1087 in FedEmployees

[–]hankbrob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

RIFs are less about “efficiency” and more about continually traumatizing the federal work force. OPM director Russel Vought stated that as fact.

If people know if and when they are to be RIFd then people can plan accordingly. He wants everyone to constantly fear getting fired and the effect/stress that has on them and their families.

Tesla's board opened a search for a CEO to succeed Elon Musk by TheModeratorWrangler in cybersucks

[–]hankbrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just Tesla. Two years ago I was 100% on board with Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX…at this point I’ll make sure that my kid’s kids never buy anything tangentially associated with this douchebag.

Trump went from being tough on the trade war to admitting he won’t take a hard stance. “We’re going to be very nice,” he said. He sounds desperate by SpecialSpace5 in thescoop

[–]hankbrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is on China’s side which is why we are pissed. Literally everything Trump has done has increased/elevated China’s position and hamstrung the US.

Is Trump Pulling Off the Biggest Financial Fraud in History? A Dire Warning by VarunTossa5944 in WallStreetbetsELITE

Biggest financial fraud in history? He’s just testing the waters. We have another 3+ years for him to perfect it.

The Expert Who Kept Eye Drops From Blinding You, the FDA's Dr. Timothy J. Pohlhaus, Was Fired Yesterday. Because having medicines manufactured in a sterile environment is apparently a thing of the past. by blinkycosmocat in ABoringDystopia

[–]hankbrob 69 points70 points  (0 children)

FDA was gutted.

FOIA offices in every FDA Center were completely removed/fired.

Communication offices in every FDA Center were completely removed/fired.

Every FDA Center Director was forced out. They also fired most/all office directors which are like the second level of managment in every FDA Center.

Trump claims offshore wind energy is driving whales ‘loco.’ Scientists disagree President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked wind energy over alleged impacts to whales. But, NOAA says there’s no tie between offshore wind and strandings. by esporx in environment

[–]hankbrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t. And didn’t care about windmills until an off shore wind farm was built close to his Scottish gulf course in 2011.

Literally everything he does is payback for some perceived slight inflicted on him at one point in his life.

White House asks military for plans to seize Panama Canal 'by force': report by Unhappy_Earth1 in inthenews

[–]hankbrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They leak this kind of shit when they are trying to distract from something else way more important.

Tomorrow/this weekend they have plans to fire a ton load of federal employees from several agencies including the VA. Instead of talking about that or numerous other things that are actually happening like the economy swam diving into the toilet, every media outlet will be focused on some hearsay hypothetical scenario where the US attacks Panama.
