All my search results have that exact phrase in it, just some with non alpha characters in that phrase. I have no clue what your DDG is doing but it’s not behaving right.

You may very well be right, but it's a bit much to say that's Intel's explicit strategy. In the past 12 years the main thing Intel has done is make poor long term choices: going big on mobile too late, SSDs taking off but not

For this specific chemical, it actually has been studied since at least 1943[1] and used in a few different medical contexts. That mean it has a leg on some random pollutant never considered for medicinal use. Does that mean it's great

If you live in the US lead* is probably a far greater concern, and that sure does survive cooking.

I agree! I explicitly state that I don't think random pollutants are good in that comment and there could be other reasons to care about it. I'm merely calling out that the thing most people freak out about with this compound (fe

Just a few thousand years ago we didn't spend huge parts of our useful resources and lives on militaries. I really don't see how our imagination has shrunk so far that we all participant and perpetuate this fantasy that a world fu

This reply has nothing to do with Uber’s war on workers or how they bribed government officials. Glad Uber got you where you wanted to go though, put your email in your bio and maybe they’ll ask you to write a tweet for them.
