Know this article was concerned with fair labor, but heavy metals are also a concern with chocolate (at least for North America). https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/heavy-metals-fou...

It's news because this is a treatment for a condition that kills people. A few hundred or so people a year in the US alone: https://health.howstuffworks.com/diseases-conditions/allergi...

At this short of distance it would be slacking off. However if you watch his world breaking run (vid below) to me it appears he's likely not doing that. Personally would argue these guys do this same sprint/distance so many time

What a strange comment. Rewatching means you've seen it at least twice but you think it's a mockumentary? Please help me with this logic because there's absolutely nothing funny about this film which is arguably one of the

It's def bleak since it's mostly faithful to the book(s)...but was well done and the sets were convincing/acting very good.

After watching the video, the car-free aspects seem a little disingenuous? It’s an apartment complex with a single large parking lot on one side (rather than with separated units surrounded by parking as in most U.S. apartments). So tenan

Sorry for the late reply...don't check HN on weekends...No he's not. I assume that requires Dr. consultation and hasn't been done. Not sure how that works for someone his age honestly...no doubt it would be positive in some

Personally put it in smoothies (so I guess also meals/cooking) and my morning coffee. It dissolves very well in hot coffee and is tasteless. It's also available in pill form of course but that quickly gets expensive.

Ha yes but in context here the elderly are generally less worried about that :) But for "the rest of us" yes...maybe the closest thing to a consensus out there is if you're sensitive to DHT and have experienced hair loss (com

Tangentially related: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6093191/ As western society skews older and resistance training becomes even more common as a means to combat the effects of aging, I wonder

The answer is crime. It's always crime.

Definitely would be useful and worth adding but think the idea was to show other countries (for VPN IP-spoofing purposes). Agree though it should have home country as the default (but also still show other countries in case your home countr

Agreed but you could say the same thing about monopolies though right? Anti-trust legislation exists to prevent that sort of extinction.

A similar thing happens to me. I don't use Apple Music regularly. This means the last song I played is from something like 2-3 years ago. I constantly listen to podcasts and other music streaming services on my phone. Constantly.

JMO, but an enormous part of it is this is the fundamental way teens now learn how to interact with the world. This disconnected, digital interface with other people that is rewarded at tremendous scale (popularity is now for some a world

Now read the Left Hand of Darkness! I think you'll find the pacing much improved.

This is a good point but there are counter-example(s). What about Kevin Smith with Clerks? Yes he got the IP and ostensibly the $/career but he's also brought basically everyone involved in that film with him along for his ride

Go to the rural Philippines and you'll find plenty of homes without air conditioning in 40+ heat. You'll also find westerners accustomed to air-conditioning who live there and have "adjusted". It takes about 2 weeks and

Fair point. Was my first Google hit on "is dog poop bad for a lawn" which was probably lazy on my part.

Apparently, dog poop is not an effective fertilizer and is considered harmful for grass? Was news to me as a dog owner who allows our dog to do her business in the back yard (but would never allow it on a public walkway/area). https:&

Not just the UK, there are parts of the southern US that refer to Crane Flies as DLLs (also "mosquito hawks" even though they don't prey on mosquitos). You also sometimes hear "Grand Daddy Longlegs". I can vouch fo

Driving used to be the primary way you facilitated face to face interaction which was the primary way you facilitated sex. It’s not like anything significant has happened transportation-wise to replace driving. If kids don’t want to drive

by nervousvarun 3y ago
As a GenX American parent, it’s wild to me that kids don’t want to drive when they turn 16. I honestly struggle to comprehend how that is the case (though not going to judge kids…had enough of that when I was a teen). There is a word we th
