tldr they found in their study that alcoholics/people with AUD can drink 50% more (7-8 drinks) and be twice as intoxicated , as compared to standard drinkers and alcoholics at 4-5 drinks, where the alcoholics were comparatively much less intoxicated than ‘standard drinkers’ (I think this implies that alcoholics do have a tolerance to alcohol but tolerance is not linear)
When they drank alcohol in our study at a dose similar to their usual drinking pattern, we saw significant impairments on both the fine motor and cognitive tests that was even more impairment than a light drinker gets at the intoxicating dose.
So at the “standard” drunk level of 4 drinks, alcoholics are less impaired, but when alcoholics drink more than that they are more impaired than a “normal” drunk person.
So alcoholics can have a higher tolerance for base consumption, but when they pass that they go straight to trashed.
That’s not quite right. Alcoholics do tolerate lower level of alcohol (4 drinks) than normal people. But once they get to 8 (which they do - remember these are alcoholics) they don’t get more drink than a normal drink person but they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are.
The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment
I have been to a few union jobs. I don’t like unions. I hate some of the folks there. They can’t be fired unless they do something really stupid. So most end up doing bare minimum.
I will when the majority of polled economists consistently support views that are not aligned with the regular population. When I see daily articles from groups like Brookings and the Economist bragging about how great Wall Street bailouts are and condemning student loan forgiveness I am not inclined to go find the single lone unicorn out there that disagrees.
Somehow we are supposed to believe the moral hazard and inflation risk of student loan debt forgiveness is real and horrible while bank bailouts it is non-existent. Just the other day I read an article by Grunweld explaining how bank bailouts are emergency measures and they don’t have to factor in what mistakes led to it or what problems will come from the fix. Meanwhile if you even hint at getting rid of student loan debt suddenly everyone wants to talk about those issues.
People lost their pensions, jobs, and homes in 2008. Goldman Sachs showed record profits. Economists approve of both.
I’m a little confused about a comment in the article that says the Mali military will be taking over the .ml domain on Monday. Is the country of Mali going to start using a different domain next week?
I’m confused, so he identifies this problem ten years ago but only just now raised an alarm as his contract was due to be up on Monday?
According to the Financial Times, which first reported the story, Dutch internet entrepreneur Johannes Zuurbier identified the problem more than 10 years ago.
Since 2013, he has had a contract to manage Mali’s country domain and, in recent months, has reportedly collected tens of thousands of misdirected emails.
None were marked as classified, but, according to the newspaper, they included medical data, maps of US military facilities, financial records and the planning documents for official trips as well as some diplomatic messages.
Mr Zuurbier wrote a letter to US officials this month to raise the alarm. He said that his contract with the Mali government was due to finish soon, meaning “the risk is real and could be exploited by adversaries of the US”.
Mali’s military government was due to take control of the domain on Monday.
Tbh, I’ve got tipping rage. I breeze past the tip screen, and even this article that’s sympathetic to tipping culture won’t change my mindset. I’m being asked to tip for things that never asked for one before the pandemic, all while the prices of the goods have gone up. I’m already paying more for the food/goods. How dare you ask for more? I’m tired of being fleeced for even more money. If you didn’t do anything beyond your job to prepare my order, and you’re not actively waiting on me at a sit down restaurant, then I pay the cost of the good. If your employer isn’t paying you enough, take it up with them.
Uhhh he won’t even give his own Texans water breaks. We expect him to show any compassion to kids and babies? This is basically “tell my guys to kill kids and babies without saying kill kids and babies.”
Don’t know about anyone else but I no longer shop at regular supermarkets for most of my food. It’s mostly Aldi and home prepared meals for us now. We are pretty well off financially but I refuse to pay outrageous amounts for big brand products any longer. I’d rather save the money and use it on a nice family vacation.
Aldi’s decision to change all of the lanes to self checkouts at the stores around me has really turned me off. I thought they would be one of the last bastions against self checkouts. The workers there were well paid and happy. I don’t really know where to shop for groceries with a conscience anymore.
I have been around rich people my entire life. Not just rich people, WEALTHY people. Blue bloods. Old steel family money. Wall St families. They are nuts and are not what I would consider as a net positive for society. They’re closed minded, self absorbed, and held hostage by their own dysfunctional and degenerate culture. You could say that about any culture but those cultures don’t wield power.
We need ethical AI to run our basic society and get rid of crazy families like the Sacklers who intentionally poison the populace with drugs.
They killed INNOCENT people intentionally. Like the Nazis did. Think about that.
I feel that ethical AI will be purchased, copyrighted, changed, and reimplmentated faster than most technologies. The problem comes from the owner class changing the code to give pre-approved answers to the masses.
It can easily be another form of control. Like religion, most people will accept it as correct based on their faith and lack of understanding.
I’m sure the African countries will be thrilled Russia is trying to starve their citizens via the announcement today Russia will block Ukrainian grain exports.
If the a doesn’t want to tell his parents for whatever reason yet, it should stay this way.
Honestly sounds like something straight out of Florida lol.
People used to do this to witches and others they decide they don’t like. Can really see how burning innocent people at a stake could take off in society sadly.
