Well that was a fucked up read with my breakfast. Definitely some common threads with the I’m Glad My Mother Is Dead book if anybody is into hearing more about what it’s like to grow up in Hollywood.
Most eggs sold in American stores are pasteurized. It is most likely fine to eat raw eggs bought in America as well. You just need to avoid the unpasteurized ones which I have never seen sold in stores. I’m not saying they aren’t, I just don’t see them.
You can get pasteurized eggs, which will kill off bacteria in the egg. Does slightly affect consistency, though, so depends on what you're using it for.
Part of this is that, unlike in the USA, the rest of the world does not allow chickens to shit on the eggs, they do not have to be washed and the shell is not damaged, allowing them to be stored without refrigeration. Washed eggs have compromised shells and must be kept cold.
The rest of the world still suggests that you wash the eggs before use, as there can still be bacteria or other things on the shell that you don't want inside the egg.
That is nice, but it is not the main reason for safer eggs in Japan compared to the States. The biggest difference is that eggs in Japan are usually not refrigerated either in transit, or the store, or even at home. There are a number of benefits from not refrigerating your eggs. They have longer shelf life. They never "sweat" on the outside of the shell, resulting in an environment for bacteria growth. They don't take up space in your small Japanese fridge. But, if you buy eggs that are already refrigerated, you need to keep them refrigerated.
Commercial eggs in America must be refrigerated because the chickens are kept in unhealthy unsanitary conditions. The eggs are filthy and contaminated with salmonella (and other fatal bacteria), thus they must be washed to remove the salmonella. Washing the eggs removes a trans-membrane that normally protects the egg. As such the washed eggs must be refrigerated.
I have a small chicken farming operation (for our homestead) and we don't need to refrigerate our eggs because they don't need to be washed/refrigerated - our coop is properly cleaned and eggs are collected multiple times a day to ensure they stay clean.
Eggs are refrigerated in Japan all the time (edit: as in regularly not literally 100% of the time; bad word choice on my part). Source: years living in Japan and every supermarket I go to. There are always far more refrigerated than not.
I think (at least some) are refrigerated in route to stores during distribution, but I'm not sure on any numbers here
Also, it sucks that many PHd programs limit that amount of time you can be employed. I would love to pursue doctorate if 1/ I could afford it 2/ do it while keeping my job.
If you know the field well enough to add to it and can defend your dissertation, you have earned your degree.
The full time job requirements are to limit the pool of applicants to the rich and those desperate enough to kiss however many rings and assholes demanded.
Einstein worked while pursuing his Ph.D. Think of the advances people with that philosophy have denied the world.
Shouldn't writing a PHD be a paid position to begin with? One where the uni pays the person getting the PHD. It at least relatively commonly is here in Germany, especially if the field needs capable researchers.
Absolutely! Phd students should be paid. In my country and Field (Engineering/Sciences in the US) basically everyone is paid. Not as well as they ought to be, but still paid. If you are seeking a PhD and aren't getting paid.... someone is telling you you shouldn't get a PhD...
From what I've read I get the impression that eliminating biting mosquitoes wouldn't have much impact - there are lots of types of mosquitoes and supposedly few are of the biting kind, and at the same time the ones that pollinate or are food for other animals are usually not a significant source of food or pollination, and the ones that do pollinate don't pollinate anything important to us according to a random article I read. So basically for it to matter you would need to be eliminating a kind that bites and makes up a majority of the pollination or food for something else which seems unlikely.
For people that wonder „hey there are deserts full of sand“, that is a different sand. To built things you need sand with edges. The sand in the deserts is round.
I’m Korean, but I was born in the US so it’s never really affected me much, but it was always funny trying to explain it. It gets even weirder. Not only are we 1 on the day of birth, we turn 2 on the next New Years Day. My birthday is in December so I was 2 around 2 weeks after I was born. It shouldn’t be too much of an issue in Korea because on government documents and laws they use actual age like the rest of the world. It’s only really celebrating things that the extra age is used. There’s a lot of cultural/traditional things to celebrate. The 100 day mark, as this was a common time that infants died so making it to 100 meant you were probably going to survive. Also Lunar New Year celebrations. But as far as functional things, normal age has been used, but this should limit a lot of the confusion.
