As this article discusses, it’s not “massively underreported,” it was in major news outlets last year. Pretty sure I even posted an article on Lemmy about it.

What’s new is the scale is larger than initially reported.

Edit: also important to note this isn’t a secret hidden burial ground. I’m not defending this shitty police work, but it’s a “left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing.” I don’t think the coroner is to blame, the police should have been notifying the families in a timely fashion. No excuse to take months to tell them.

Edit 2: finished the linked article and it’s very strange. They get their facts from established mainstream reporting, then accuse mainstream media of not covering the story well enough. My linked NBC article is pretty in-depth coverage. It spurred an entire series of articles on failed death reporting by police in the USA, with most articles in the series focusing on Jackson. In other words, the original linked article is just rage bait.

How to recognize words

Hello! So, I have always joked around with my friends about how when you say a particular word a few times, you start to question if it even is a word, or if it is spelled that way, etc.(think of tubing, or smock as examples) I have noticed in the past few weeks that I (37yr) am having that problem with almost any word that I...

As an alternative to the neurological issues others are proposing, it could be this weird new disease called crippling anxiety.

Yeah, it’s tiring. You can also apply on your phone while at work.

I would only tell people you really trust until you’ve got a job offer.

Ugh, this is one I’ve been dreading this case for a while. Overturning the Chevron doctrine gives way too much power to activist judges.

I’m not like super into trigger warnings, but if you’re gonna read up on industrial meat production, you need to be emotionally prepared.

I don’t think the commenter claimed to work in nursing.

If the patient won’t take it, can’t you document the refusal and move on?

This would be so great, not just for people with legal prescriptions, but also for employers. I was close with people in HR in my last job were afraid of being sued either way. They are in legally unprecedented areas. Let someone who uses a legal and illegal drug work? Or refuse them work for their Rx.

Reminds me of “don’t ask, don’t tell”

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Some might try, but it’d probably get litigated. You can’t really get fired if you have a legal prescription (legal recreational use would be different, but the DEA has suggested schedule III status, not recreational legalization). The HR people I know are mostly concerned about their liability (using machinery while high, driving, interacting with customers, etc.)

One major caveat… much of “plant agriculture” is to feed animals. So I think if you count that stuff under meat, it wins

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

A lot of plants on the globe are grown for animal feed. www.vox.com/…/cropland-map-food-fuel-animal-feed

Nothing in the plant agriculture stuff on Wikipedia says “this is all grown for human consumption,” so idk what you’re getting at?

The wiki article literally says we need to give up animal agriculture to stop climate change

I remember a 3D show at Disney that did this when I was a kid. William Castle did something like that once too iirc

Edit: William Castle did the thing where he shocked viewers with electricity, not the smell stuff.

Edit 2: I think it was this: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Tough_to_Be_a_Bug!

They released a stinky smell when the stink bug character was on screen.

That’s the point. We’ll never know if, at some point in history, there was a closeted gay person in any role. That’s why we always say “first openly gay person” in these situations.

Hard to prove they knew in a case like this. Allegations were posted online about GDP years ago and largely dismissed for years.

I think of Gen X as people born in the 70s or late 60s, so that age range is pretty much split between X and Boomers imo. They also mention later on that both generations are responsible for similar rates of meat consumption

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

China is also driving a lot of the global growth in beef consumption. Any recently industrialized country really

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Demand is up because population is up. Per capita consumption is down, per the article that part doesn’t seem to be disputed

I’m actually in a similar situation, although my timeline is more like weeks (maybe months if I’m lucky) and the pet is a dog. It’s like losing a family member.

Not knowing when he’s going to take the final turn is definitely hard, but losing a pet suddenly is crazy hard too. I hope you’re holding up alright

Tell her to buy you something if she’s uncomfortable lol

On a serious note, are you getting table service or are people going up to the bar and ordering? If table service, I can see why some people might find it awkward, but I don’t think it’s bad to do. If you have to go up to the bar to order, then I don’t even see why she’d think it’s weird.

hanukkiah and menorah, Mandela Effect? (www.myjewishlearning.com)

I’m 62 years old and I just heard about the Hanukkiah for the first time tonight on puppy dog pals. What the heck? How can I live my entire life and never have heard of this. I’ve been around plenty of Jewish people and we talked about Hanukkah plenty of times. I’ve known about the menorah. I’ve known about the dreidel....

Creating a torrent that includes all of humanity's knowledge/art/entertainment?

I know we can’t do this with any copyrighted materials. But a lot of books, music, art, knowledge is in the creative commons. Is it possible to create one massive torrent that includes all that can be legally included and then have people only download what they actually want to enjoy?

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

So like… a meta-torrent that is a torrent of all the other torrents?

Edit: or we could just create a website that had a list of all the torrents. And give it a clever name that reminds us of the fact that we’re pirating things. Oh… wait

In the US, it’s usually clear which you can split if you’re at a beer distributor. There’s usually a 6-pack price and a per bottle price (sometimes you do have to look around for the tags).

Many grocery stores have a section specifically for singles, often with a “make your own 6 pack” that is cheaper than 6 singles.

Often you can get larger cans (24ish oz) that are explicitly sold as singles (pounders, tall boys, lots of slang for these). These are typically the cheap stuff like Bud light or Foster’s
