I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

In fact, he was going to France precisely because the French senate wanted to hear his testimony.

Commander was sent to an undisclosed location after the Secret Service recorded 24 biting episodes involving him between October 2022 and July 2023, about half of which required medical attention.

The South Dakota governor, who had been widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, wrote in the book about a female wire-haired pointer named Cricket that she had hoped to use to hunt pheasant on her ranch. She said that the dog proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog — so she shot her in a gravel pit.

In the CBS interview, Ms. Noem sought to defend the killing of Cricket — and a goat she also shot the same day — as “a choice I made over 20 years ago” to “protect people.”

The thought of private vegan BBQs is funny to me since it seems so much more energy inefficient than the meat they don't eat in that meal.

Interesting. However, a search says that feeding all the grass (or whatever) to cattle takes that food away from existing ecosystems in dry areas and potentially allow exotic weeds to take over land. So we probably don't want this to expand to the point where we intrude on dry ecosystems.

The thing about individual action is that if it works, it all adds up. But if people all blame the corporations, individual action makes no dent in the over 50% of emissions that individuals help make; a self-fulfilling prophecy. And yes, over 50%. Politifact goes into detail about how most emission indeed comes from consumption instead of corporate production.

WHO report

someone else online summarized the genetics part as the following:

Mandelian randomisation studies show that LDL-c is causative in atherogenic plaques 1 and metabolic ward RCTs show that SFA intakes increase LDL-c, while the decrease in SFAs lead to lower total and LDL-c 2.

But yes, almost all nutrition science is a bit inconclusive because of genetic variation.

Whatever their food is, 1kg of beef requires 24kg of grain's worth of energy. This is something they teach in high-school biology now. The higher the food chain, the more energy is lost. Stopping such production would be pretty beneficial to the environment, but whether we should is a complicated question.

Abstruse Goose webcomic. Execs are at a meeting where they learn that the Galaxy S10+ features 5 cameras. They get mad even though they know that Samsung is "overcompensating for something", but decide to try and kick their ass by fitting 11 cameras and 2 vertical USB-A ports on teh back and 4 USB ports on the left side and 6 USB ports on the right side and 1 USB port on the bottom, creating a phone that, when all plugged in from the sides, looks like a fucking spider.

Yeah, and as I've posted below Javert stares into the void in Les Mis. The only combination that isn't really poetic is screaming into the abyss; everything else exists, ergo it's not a mixup.

There's this famous quote from Nietzsche:

When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.

Has nothing to do with voids, though

No it doesn't. It means "pearl milk tea" or "bubble tea".
