Nearly 80% of Americans now view fast food as a luxury
  • Used to be able to get $1 cheeseburgers. The loose change menu was a huge thing here, you could actually wander in with some coins and walk out with some food.

    At $1 a burger, in less than 3 minutes, that's way cheaper, "tastier" (subjective), faster, and no cleaning up, than having a pot of lentil curry.

  • After successful animal trials, human trials to begin for tooth regrowth drug
  • That's like asking why we can't just eliminate gonorrhea... people keep inoculating each other with the bad shit.

    I do tell my expecting parents (who happen to have bad teeth) that they should not test the food in their mouth and use the same spoon with their new child, as they will be passing on their bacteria to the kid. I do also imply they shouldn't share things like drinks.

    Whether or not they listen to me isn't my problem...

  • Visitor to Taiwan hit with $9,000 fine over 'roast chicken and pork combo' lunch box
  • A chick got pulled for Subway: https://www.smh.com.au/traveller/inspiration/forgotten-subway-sandwich-costs-australian-traveller-jessical-lee-2664-on-arrival-home-20220721-h2576l.html

    So it's not surprising to me for being hauled up over a lunch... I'm likely biased as Australia and NZ have long been very strict about biosecurity.

    What does seem strange to me is that in Australia, if I bring in something they don't like, they turf it and let me through?? No fine or anything. Admittedly I go through the "Declare" line, and am open about what I'm unsure about.

  • Any good bags that don't require rack/bracket?
  • Don't use one as I'm still slowly buying what I need, and my bike takes pannier racks. 😂

    You might want to see if anyone sells a ring lock solution for yours, as at least with my bike the options will elevate the bag from the tank.

  • Gaming firm Razer ordered to pay over US$1.1 million in US for advertising Zephyr mask as N95-grade
  • The 3m 6035 filter only has a replacement schedule for infection control reasons, implying the outside may become too contaminated.

    It was the original pandemic filter (there is a model up that does organic vapours too), marketed as being used for at least one pandemic wave.

    No filter will last 10 years of daily use, at some point even your washable car filters or cleanable air purifier filters clog up and break down. But these are very long lasting for what they do, and I can see someone being able to stretch them out to one every six months, if in a hospital setting.

    www.abc.net.au Anti-trans rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull threatens legal action against Victorian Liberal party

    The British activist has demanded opposition leader John Pesutto and his leadership team apologise and compensate her for false claims made against her.

    Anti-trans rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull threatens legal action against Victorian Liberal party

    The context:

    The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a "Let Women Speak" event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.

    MP Moira Deeming's involvement in the "Let Women Speak" rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.
