It could be…

Most areas in the US have that as a building code violation for the safety issue of it. Usually, there’s a “first” when any regulation regarding inherent safety is created.

I remember when those things first came out and used a headphone jack so you could plug in your CD player. (those were the days…)

Lithium

I don’t disagree on the symantics of the term. I’m just alluding to the fact that selective breeding/hybridizing foodstuffs can be similar to genetic modification from an outside perspective.

There are a lot of people that will completely discredit anything that that says It has been genetically modified. What they don’t necessarily realize is that GMOs and selective breeding/hybridizing can both carry similar, if not the same risks/benefits. You can make your “all-natural” seeds (for instance) sterile. They can both carry similar risks for allergies. They can also both have the same benefits of of disease/pest/drought tolerance. (see the Great French Wine Blight)

It’s also not good, not being able to feed your people without imports.

Yeah. Those were just two examples that came to mind. Tangelos or any “seedless” produce are some other ones.

I see GMOs as just another form of agricultural development to decrease issues/problems with production. (like splicing in a gene that makes them less appetizing to pests so you would use less pesticides or one that makes them more drought tolerant)

One of the largest drawbacks to GMOs though (aside from the capitalistic approach of introducing sterility) is due to allergies. This could however be easily mitigated by listing where each gene comes from so people who may be allergic to the gene of the donor would know if it should be avoided.

Alkaline water = artificial spring water

My PCP is a DO. It works for me as my body is still relatively young. (late 30’s) I also don’t have many issues that would require more intensive/specialized treatment that I don’t already have a specialist for.

Isn’t there a limit of how much protein your body can absorb in a meal and the rest just gets metabolized/excreted.

Aren’t bananas and corn both genetically modified, at least in the analog sense? Both wouldn’t exist without humans altering them.

They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.

Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we’ve been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)

I agree, but with one caveat.

Fully analog tube amps do definitely produce a warmer/richer sound with less complicated things to go wrong. Artists like them because they are reliable, generally user serviceable, (usually just need to replace bad/old tubes) and makes each recording sound relatively unique.

The thing is, is that it really only works during production. Unless being cut direct to a master record, the sound will get saved in a digital format to produce the user-facing media, which can include digital-source vinyls.

Those products marketed to audiophiles try to take the digitally recorded/archived products to “try” making it sound like the original.

It really likes lipstick, but unfortunately doesn’t have lips.

Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.

(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)

Hotels not using carpet in their rooms.

Apple stoll all of it for their phones

Not sure if got the wrong vid, but that is definitely Angel of Death

Isn’t brass antimicrobial though?

The news articles just keep saying it was a slur used in Italian, but never mention what it was. (almost like trying to report it, but also burying it at the same time to save grace)

After a bit of searching, the word is the loose Italian translation of the “F” slur used in English. I honestly can say I’ve never heard that word (at least in English) used by anyone but true bigots (and immature idiot kids online), even older people.

I did however have an English teacher in high school (who was openly gay) stop the class once, when someone ask about the subject of slurs. (namely racial ones) His relatively succinct response was that any slur is owned by the people in subject, and only they can choose use it to weaken its hate or let it die from disuse. (I sort of miss him, as he liked to speak to us with a frankness like adults rather than hide things like people do to kids, 12 and under)

I say that if he can’t stop using it, even “accidentally”, he may not really be as accepting as people think, and it is all just a bit of an act to try to keep that religon alive with gen y+.

It made me a bit concerned too, with being near Atlanta on work.
