“Both donanemab and Leqembi are lab-made antibodies, administered by IV, that target one Alzheimer’s culprit, sticky amyloid buildup in the brain. And both drugs come with a serious safety concern — brain swelling or bleeding that in the Lilly study was linked to three deaths.”
Hey man, I’ve seen you around, posting a bunch of interesting (albeit rather scary: “VC Qanon is not something I wanted to exist…) articles and wanted to thank you for bringing content here.
Something like a “Current Topics”? I haven’t looked but that might cover opinion pieces as well.
Still, I don’t want to get too militant about proper placement of submissions, because being anal about categories being separate and distinct and ne’er the twain shall meet just doesn’t foster as much discussion as letting places be more malleable and take on the flavor of their communities.
David Furness and Elton John merely told the court that Kevin Spacey did not attend a party at their place in either 2003 or 2004. That his only appearance at a party was 2001.
That’s not “celebrity support”. That’s merely testifying facts to the court. These facts may help Mr. Spacey’s case, but they are not the same as the sort of character endorsement the headline implies.
How is that any of the airlines business?? Kid bought a ticket. He has no obligation to use the full ride. I hope he/his family sues and I hope they win.
Actually, if you read the T&Cs on the contract, you really are expected to use the full ride, and the airline is allowed to impose a penalty like this. But it’s at the airline’s discretion, and I think not even the bean counters expect gate agents to enforce it in the most draconian fashion against unaccompanied minors.
This is why they are going to the press with this, because they can’t win the lawsuit. And the Press is the best place to expose behavior that’s legal, but shitty.
I’d bet they reacted like they did specifically because the person is a minor - a minor who is in the care of the airline and who they’re responsible for until they reach the intended destination. If the final flight arrived without the minor on it without it being intended, they would most certainly have some level of liability for the minor’s whereabouts.
Airline T&C are not just any old contract, but they are called the “Contract of Carriage” for the airline and have protections at the Federal level. Anything’s legal standing can be challenged, of course, but airlines do have special protections in this case.
There’s no way the family could possibly sue over this and win.
I agree it’s total bullshit, but there actually is a contract of carriage involved that skiplagging violates, so airlines are within their rights to cancel an itinerary if they catch such a violation. With that said, fuck BS airline policies and fares.
Those unwilling to do the difficult task of striking or otherwise demanding higher wages and actively supporting politics that do the same are asking others to prop up those poor wages with money from the others’ hard work.
IOW give me your hard earned money so I don’t have to try to demand more money from my boss for my hard work.
On that note, fuck the food/service industry for basically dodging payroll tax with underreported cash tips and underpaid workers.
Meanwhile, sugar has increased in just about everything else we eat.
I think you mean FAKE sugar. Holy hell is it everywhere. And it's so damn sweet.
I actually enjoy having a sodastream just so I can still buy the occasional energy drink or soda, and add some extra carbonated water to tone down the sweetness.
You know how much I'd love to see a coca-cola with "low cane sugar" as an option? Just give me cane sugar....... but less of it!!
I really wish instead of switching from real sugar to artificial sweetener, companies would simply use less sugar. But no, artificial sweetener is CHEAPER than real sugar, and makes the item taste sweeter, so it's a win-win, right?
Go to a supermarket, look around at how many candies and sodas now use artificial sweetener instead of plain sugar. It's certainly on the increase over the past 20 years if you look back historically at it's usage, and it seems to be increasing annually.
Look at how Pepsi phased out Sierra Mist in favor of the new "Starry" soda which is made with more artificial sweetener. This lets them advertise lower calories on the label, while selling a sweeter beverage people will buy.
I used to love buying malted beverages and energy drinks occasionally because I enjoy trying new flavors. However over the past five+ years, I've noticed a lot more brands sneaking in artificial sweeteners. Look at Mountain Dew - they recently started a line of alcohol-infused beverages which interested me. But go figure they were absolutely terrible - they tasted nothing like classic mountain dew with al that fake sugar. I threw them out lol.
Ah I misunderstood, yeah there's artificial sweeteners and alternate sugars, I don't believe they're all inherently bad from what I've seen.
And yeah some people really taste the difference lol
Hm honestly big doubt. I don't think greediness has increased. Technology and resources have changed, but humans have always been this greedy. If ancient romans or beyond had the technology to ruin the earth for profit, they'd have done so.
It was a CSX train, which is literally their direct competitor in their duopoly so that both of them can cry about how they’re not a monopoly because they have a competitor. It’s just entirely coincidental that they both behave in exactly the same manner in terms of complete reckless disregard for safety and employee health.
Not in that region, to the best of my knowledge CSX and Norfolk are the ones who control the lines around there and UP and BNSF can only buy passage on the lines, so you can compete on the cost who actually hauling the freight, but not on the cost of passage on the lines.
In this case, it was a Norfolk line being used by a CSX manned crew, but CSX also only holds a very itty bitty tiny stretch of track in PA, connecting Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to out of state branches, while Norfolk operates nearly all the East-West Rail.
In this case, CSX operates as a figleaf competitor for Norfolk to be able to claim they have competition, while it’s pretty marginal rail at best unless your goal is to ship stuff out of state.
Edit: It appears Amtrak also owns some lines connecting Harrisburgh, Philly, and then into the greater Eastern Seaboard passenger lines.
I think the main takeaway from this is that for hetero couples, if the man is harassing the woman for not breastfeeding, she can legitimately look him in the face and say 'do it yourself'
