As stated in the article, the core problem is nitrates/nitrites. This isn't a bacon-specific problem. It's a problem in all cured meats - hot dogs, SPAM, salami, etc. Fortunately, there's plenty of "uncured"

Guarantee you if the Seattle store was in Downtown, you would see the same thing. The physical environment is right - huge population of drug addicts and homeless and less populated due to COVID. The political climate is right - the Attor

Haha. I was born in Hong Kong and spoke Cantonese growing up. I never really thought about what sung means until this article. To me, it was basically "everything that's not rice," which is a more casual, flippant definiti

Thanks for your comment. How useful are medic alert bracelets for this purpose? I hate carrying anything on me when I run, even my driver's license, so I got a medic alert bracelet a few years ago. I sometimes wonder if it'll r

+1 on Reveal. My last job required a fair amount of lessons with Jupyter. Reveal let me stay in the browser for both slides and code, and since it's all HTML, let me programmatically and quickly style the slides instead of WYSIWYGing

I'm surprised that you're surprised. You ask this as if the US is immune to corruption. Maybe the US isn't as blatant as Russia, but you're dealing with humans. Call my cynical, but this is going to happen.

It is infuriating, and not at all surprising when government officials are allowed to determine what actions are permissible by what groups.

Pretty much. Adding devices are done through the UI these days. Manually adding them to config files is not recommended. Deleting devices are a different story. The functionality of deleting devices doesn't work in the UI. I have l

Thank you for putting down your thoughts here, especially 1, 2, and 3. It is messy. Some of my criticisms of HA are absolutely not their fault, and users should realize the state of devices. It's very common for HA to report a false

Criticism from my other comment aside, thank you for the work on HA. It is a monumental problem y'all are trying to solve. I think a large portion of my gripes are due to what I describe as an in-between state right now. Is HA for th

Funny, because just a week ago, a post made it to the top talking about the problems of not only Z-Wave, but Home Assistant. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25099615 I chimed in to his blog and that thread about the pr

I think the comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The underlying storage tech between is the same, but eMMCs have a controller that handles the actual layout of the data. In a removable SD card setup, this is handled by the CPU, which of cou

Yeah, I'm probably sticking with HA for the time being mainly because I don't have the time to redo the whole thing right now. It's just frustrating to hear people recommend HA to complete home automation noobs with little o

"Leading" is incorrect, but modeling has assumed D's need a 70-30% advantage in mail voting. This is because of polling regarding COVID where R's are less worried about early IPEV and more likely voting on election day.

You should have to because the original comment was seeping in dramatic hyperbole to fish for points. At the end of the day, I'd much rather live with modern medicine than dark age medicine.

Apple didn't make PowerPC chips. That's a huge difference. First, Apple wasn't a supplier. If Silicon takes off, they could become a supplier. Second, the reason they're switching to Silicon is the same reason they swi

Not 100%. About a third of people recover fully within 3-4 months, but if it's beyond that, you're likely stuck. I am, however, one of the few that got up to 80-90% of normal a couple of years afterwards. My primary cardiologis
