Using bethel as an example for an article is a bit disingenuous. It’s not a place that people should really be living any way other than off the land. It’s like saying the groceries on the space station or at everest base camp are expensive.

It’s like 500 km from any roads and thousands from anywhere capable of agriculture as the rest of the world knows it.

It’s also mainly Yupik, and politically, idk how they vote, but they aren’t exactly politically relevant compared to the basically 3 cities with more than 10,000 people in Alaska.

If I’m being really charitable, relying off the full quote “performance and safety”, you could make an argument that if hydration is too inconvenient, people seeking high performance will skip water stops, therefore being at risk of dehydration.

In reality, though, dehydration isnt really as much of a problem as people like to pretend it is since it’s self-limiting (you’ll slow down and stop before doing any damage, and as long as water is available, you can bounce back). Overhydration, specifically leading to hyponatremia, is more of an issue, since that’s more of a “feel mostly fine until your heart stops working right”-situation.

I guess the other “if I’m being charitable” argument could be about making sure you aren’t getting people colliding at water stations, but that’s more about layout than how the water is actually delivered.

My opinion is just, tough shit, it’s all part of the race. The fact that I can’t use shoes with a 10 cm stack or a bicycle during a marathon hurts my performance but everyone is subject to the same rules.

Yeah, in a similar vein, it could also potentially be due to differing standards for how causes of death are assigned.

Someone could have congestive heart failure leading to pneumonia that actually kills them, and one country might consider that cardiovascular while another does not.

There’s about a million diseases that dont actually kill you, they just lead to something else killing you. AIDS, for example.

Do just eat them straight, or use them for anything else?

If i wanted to, I could probably collect my bodyweight in these berries in a day, but I never used them for anything.

Autumn olive is what I call it. One of those plants with a whole bunch of names.

Elaeagnus umbellata

In that context, I just use French press. Those are useful for tea, too. To get a drip machine that doesnt suck costs too much, and takes up to much space for something I’d only use every once in a while.

The rights of way already exist for the most part. The whole nation was built on railways. Most are just cargo only, and many have been converted to bike/foot paths.

Alternatively, interstate highway rights of way could be used.

I hope one day the rest of the world will learn that Chicago deep dish is a gimmick, and what people in Chicago just call “pizza” is a completely different thing that’s way better.

Hawaiian pizza is Canadian

I’m in the same boat. Have an old instant pot that works great, but now that I know better, I’d rather have a regular stovetop plus temp controlled induction burner.

The Dutch started adding annatto to cheese to make it more orange ages ago so they could have a more uniform product year round since winter milk has less pigment than summer milk. This practice spread to other countries like France, the UK, and the US.

The Swiss later invented process cheese, and James Kraft, a Canadian businessman started making processed cheese with the annatto added. He did this in America, so the product became known as American cheese.

Processed cheese in general (and american cheese in particular) is not inherently a bad idea. It’s the best way to get a smooth melting cheese. There’s also no limit to what cheese can be used, so I’ve made processed cheese out of cheeses like pecorino (you just need to dissolve it into a liquid along with some sodium citrate). Then you have easy melting cheese that you can keep in the fridge and just toss with pasta whenever you want something like a cacio e pepe with less effort to control the heat and get the proportions right.

It’s a little misleading to call it dye. It’s annatto, which is a spice used in a lot of cuisines. It’s used in cheese from a lot of countries. It’s usually in cheese to make it more orange, but it’s not like it’s red #40 or whatever.

Peltier plates are one of those things that always seem so cool and useful until you do the math.

I absolutely hate those tiny fridges that everyone assumes must use a tiny amount of electricity when in reality, they use more than a full size chest freezer.

Thermoelectric generators can be nice, though, in the right application. I like how they are used in the biolite stoves to drive a fan that improves combustion. It’s a nice feedback loop.

Couple notes on the study.

• weird that they used manual coding instead of eye tracking software.
• this is sold as looking at nature absent of nurture, but I do wonder if there are differences in prenatal treatment of male vs female fetuses that could be at play.
• they are trying to show that females are more interested in the face, and males are more likely to be interested in the mechanical thing, but, they needed the infants to look at the screens for long enough during a trial to count, so they had to retry multiple infants. The percentage of male infants who needed to be retrialed was significantly higher than female, suggesting that the male infants were just more likely to be looking all around rather than just at a specific screen.

The responses were basically heavily overlapping bell curves that only really show a sex difference in aggregate. Of the 120ish subjects they were able to complete, if even 10% end up gender non-conforming, you probably wouldnt have enough to make conclusions.

I think it really depends on a lot of specifics, but my main point is, you are probably best off getting a large range of stimuli.

Except the FDA explicitly passed a rule saying allulose didn’t have to be labeled as an added sugar because it’s not metabolized the same, and only has 1/10th the calories of a real sugar.

This is the only way that makes sense. Lots of people complain when a politician breaks campaign promises like:

“I am going to lower the cost of living”.

It’s not really a lie when they fail cause it isnt just up to them. Weaker wording like:

“I am going to try to lower the cost of living”

Would be technically non-falsifiable, but not actually matter to people.

The only things that I think would actually make sense to prosecute are intentional misrepresentation of facts, or decisions that are directly in their power.

I never see fabrics (at least where I shop) being marketed as made with Spectra. I guess you’re never buying straight dyneema, either, but dyneema composite fabric.

Some beans are meant for eating green and whole, some are meant for eating freshly shelled, some are meant for shelling and drying, and some are a double or triple threat.

If you grow a bean that’s meant to be cooked in the pod, you need to pick relatively early, otherwise they can get stringy.

If you pick a bean that’s meant to be dried too early, they will be underdeveloped.

Try to find out what type you have. Judging by the fact that they are so long, and that you bought them from a grocery store, I’m going to guess that these are yardlong/snake/noodle beans from H-mart. A quick read on those shows that they are normally eaten young and whole as a green bean. If you have some that are really big, they might be too far along, and you’ll need to wait for them to fully develop so you can shell them.

Tl;dr, like the other commenter said, you picked too early and too late.
