I absolutely hate these. My local Aldi started doing this and the lines are longer than ever as a result. People who get paid to check out your groceries move faster than the customers themselves.
Elon Musk says no primates died as a result of Neuralink’s implants. A WIRED investigation now reveals the grisly specifics of their deaths as US authorities have been asked to investigate Musk’s claims.
That was hard to read. Those monkeys suffered greatly. I understand the need for animal trials in a device such as this though. My question is do they really think they will be able to support humans for their entire lifetime properly who get this implant? I can imagine humans being told the company went under or something when it’s time to maintain their implant.
The Republican-led Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression, or Eats, Act aims to end the authority of states and localities to set animal welfare and food safety standards. If passed, it could also jeopardize more than 1,000 state and local health and safety laws that set food-quality requirements and stop the spread of invasive...
Honestly, most web articles are only worth reading in reader mode. It seems like that is the only setting that respects your phone’s brightness settings (dark or light) and font size.
Facing pressure from animal rights activists, Anheuser-Busch announced on Wednesday that it had ended the practice of amputating the tails of its Budweiser Clydesdales, the familiar equine figures in the brewing company’s advertising campaigns for nearly a century....
Nearly everyone I know from India uses WhatsApp so this statement checks out. I wish my own friends and family would stop using iMessage/SMS and use something like Signal. The only other app they use is Snapchat and I kinda hate that one.

Yeah, that’s weird. Outside of Microsoft as a company, Bill Gates has done a lot of good in this world. He isn’t perfect, but he is one of the “better” billionaires (if such a thing exists).
The only reason Y2K wasn’t worse was because a shit ton of people were hired to fix it before it happened. I remember folks literally coming to my high school in the late 90s and asking students to learn COBOL so we could help. There was a huge effort to stop it before it happened.
The only time a 5 year old is given puberty blockers is if they are going through a very early puberty and that’s it’s own medical condition outside of any trans conversation.
They just tried to force a 10 year old to carry a rape baby in Ohio. She had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion. They really do believe that shit.
What drag queen did this? Or are you just pulling the boogeyman out and showing it here? Drag queens are performers, and they show the same audience respect to other performers they expect during their performances.
The Republican congresswoman said “while none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that”
“Everywhere that I go people are having a hard time buying groceries, affording gas, getting to work, paying for their child care, affording the homes that they live in— or the homes that they would like to live in. We have got to get the spending under control in Washington, D.C.”
What does any of that have to do with tightening spending in Washington DC? How will tightening spending help any of that?
Or just anyone who likes the convenience (startrek.website)
