Vanishingly close to no effect at all. It's hard to have an effect on something you could throw planets at without harm.

My understanding is it'll potentially get spores in it _after_ it gets cooked if it sits around a long time. So it may not matter how it's cooked?

Yeah, for rice pretty much just avoid leaving it out for hours and you'll be fine. Even if you do get it it's typically mild. Reheating it doesn't cause it or anything, it's just not enough to kill it if it's alread

Yeah, random people on HN are much better judges of importance of mathematical results.

We (AZ) grow alfalfa. We are not taking water security seriously.

To also be fair: can't imagine these researchers weren't also just having a good time. Sounds a lot like they were just doing fancy LARPing themselves.

At a big corp: 90% of my job is talking to various people to figure out what we want to code, who has to approve it, who I have to coordinate changes with, etc. AI can currently _maybe_ do half of the 10% that's left, with good amounts

Oil is a bad metaphor. Those "dry" wells are only worth it once the price of oil goes up, that's what they're waiting for. Food doesn't seem to have anything similar. If you could make more profitable food _right no

That sure is a big list of stuff that helps people _who manage to stick to it_. They're very difficult to stick to, judged by rates that people actually do it. Most of them are less effective than the drug you hate. All of them can be

Obesity is awful for you. This reduces obesity, substantially. It has serious risks and side effects, but certainly appears to be nowhere _near_ as bad as its benefits.

If food manufacturers could sell less for more, they'd already be doing it. Why would they wait?

You'd prefer the lovely smells and sounds of angry, vomiting drunks with poor impulse control?

Specifically for alcohol and cannabis it is. There are healthier ways to take cannabis thankfully as well.

> if you smoke it, then it's more harmful than alcohol just because of the combustion phenomenon. Even then it's not. Alcohol is remarkably bad for you.

As a large bonus: it's healthier for the user and those around them too.

How effective is telling people that? In what way is it different than what we've been telling people for decades? When would you estimate it will start being effective to tell people to put in the work and discipline? How many more de

Studies are not really the right way to test mask effectiveness end-to-end. The physics of filters is well known. What you'd want to do is study humans to see how they're actually wearing the masks and what kind, and then use phys

True, but mostly because it lacks specifics. Wearing a N95 mask correctly and washing your hands consistently is _quite_ effective at protecting you (and others). Wearing a nonsense cloth mask, not terribly well fitted, protects you a littl

The anger is appropriate for the circumstance, maybe. Seeking out things to make you angry (aka social media in general) is not healthy.

I think the name was changed at some point and the old options were just too engrained to bother with.

It's always an election year or the year after an election or year of midterms or etc. This is like "40% of all sick days are on Monday or Friday" levels of cynicism.

They're good streamer games. The fun is in the reactions of the people playing them, not as much in the actual gameplay.

Hm, that can't be how that works, can it? How do you get any extra velocity then if there's never any acceleration beyond what your thrusters provide?

This is orders of magnitude away from being anything like a concern.
