You're correct to an extent, but water is still a very useful source of minerals. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, and fluoride are all minerals and salts that we primarily get from water, and thus distilled water can cause a person to become deficient in these elements (Source).
This is completely unsurprising. Under the new "free speech" regime, X has been completely deluged with antisemitic, pro-Russia, and anti-democracy propaganda. It's no wonder that advertisers don't want to be associated with that type of content.
You're correct about readding a small amount of salts and minerals, but you may not actually need to boil it. Often the membranes used for distillation have pores that are so small that only individual atoms can go through them, which effectively filters out bacteria and virions.
That's a good write-up. I generally agree with 538's philosophy on outliers, include them in the data but weigh them less heavily.
Indeed. Even if he's not guilty, combating these legal troubles will almost certainly interfere with his ability to effectively govern.
This is completely unsurprising. Often when a company goes to shit it's the board of directors, ultimately, they control the CEO and the rest of the executive team at a company. I feel horribly for the indie devs that were using Unity, though there's always a chance for this to happen to proprietary software it still sucks when it does happen.
The quoting in Lemmy is block quotes, so it appears you'd have to quote each paragraph individually. Definitely inconvenient, I wonder if there's a way they could rework the system.
It truly is disgusting that they've made this model. Tinder has always been severely flawed in my opinion, but this makes it several times worse.
For the best. Companies need to learn to tread carefully when dealing with customers, they can't be allowed to get off lightly for trying anti-consumer practices like this.
Indeed. Affiliate marketing is another term for multi-level marketing, which itself offers a thin veneer of legitimacy to a more typical pyramid scheme.
Perhaps that could be resolved by a disclaimer. Something like, "The following lyrics were generated by an AI and thus may be mistranslated." It wouldn't be perfect, but it might help.
These laptops look extremely affordable and I like how modular they are. The next time I need to replace my laptop I'll probably go with Framework.
The way they shuffled the Midwest hurts my soul.
It's really neat to see something like this still going. Torrenting is a cool technology, it's fun to download and then seed a file, knowing that now other people will get to enjoy it.
This news is as stupid as it is unsurprising.
Clarence Thomas is clearly not just a threat to the integrity of the court but to the entire United States. If we are going to have a functional democracy, he needs to be removed from office and imprisoned.
He has been federally indicted. That greatly increases his chances of seeing real consequences for this.
I liked that my LG phone had a back made of metal. I don't like that phones are entirely glass now, it makes them feel delicate and fragile and they get covered with fingerprints immediately.
Howdy OP. Please include your question, ending with a "?", in your post title.
