It's just before 8am here, so: oatmeal, tbd (maybe Cincinnatti-style chili over genmai), and tbd (probably grilled chicken, genmai, veg, and various pickles). I don't typically snack.

Noon update: yep, cincy-style chili over genmai with freshly-shredded cheddar cheese and raw red onion. Had a few chocolate chips (fresh out of the freezer) for something sweet. Dinner is probably going to be something very small as I ate too much and am not really moving a lot today.

Dinner update: we had to go shopping so I got a 10-piece sushi set (and stole two of my wife's tekka hosomaki) that was discounted for dinner and had a couple bites of chocolate icecream for dessert

Yup! I grill corn when it's in season, mushrooms, and make foil packets with potatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic and grill those as well. Also works great for making baked potatoes.

"currency carry trade" was something that came up in a lot of discussions I saw.

Modern dialectal ax is as old as Old English acsian and was an accepted literary variant until c. 1600.

So older, yes, but also possibly a separate phenomenon unless certain people happened to still use that variant when enslaving people.

Language Jones is a great channel!

I had to go back into Tokyo the other day from where I live in the countryside. The air definitely has some kind of smell. We do burn a lot of trash for electricity in Japan, but I'm not sure what it actually is. The diesel exhaust here bothers me a lot for some reason even though I think I liked the smell of it as a kid in the US. Not sure what that's about.

Yeah, Google, Meta, Amazon, and probably others really need to get broken up and get proper antitrust treatment. I say this even as someone who holds stock (like a total of 5 shares, so not much) in a couple of those. I used to dream of working at Google as well, but that dream died quite some time ago based on their actions and culture.

Would you like fries with that for only a dollar more?

Better results

That's not generally my experience. I still try DDG first, but probably 20-25% of the time, I have to switch back to Google. Oddly, not for the stuff in Japanese or related to Japan, but more tech and other such.

As a kid in the '80s, it was just the way some things smelled. Neither of my parents smoked by the time I was born, but lots of neighbors and others did. I later became a smoker and couldn't smell it anymore. When they finally banned smoking in Ohio, I quit and we learned what bars really smelled like (as I mentioned in a related thread: body odor, mold, and piss).

Edit 2: I worked at a fast food place in '95 or '96 and we had a smoking section, but also all the employees smoked in the tiny break area as well so it came from both sides. I would start smoking not long after this.

Not at all. No personal PC problems and none at work that impacted me (if any existed). Edit: and I didn't go anywhere that day that was impacted, although that seems more lucky since I did stop by a McDonalds for the first time in a month or more since it was in the shopping area my wife and I were at and several McD's were impacted in Japan, apparently.

Thanks, but, uh:

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring ADHD is not due to causal intrauterine effects, but reflects unmeasured confounding.

Neither? I am more wary after the launch of 6 and the issues, but I also say 'neither' because I'm simply not in the market for a new device.

Headline is a bit disingenuous as it is the most points (because the total points is higher) but only the second highest percentage (1987 still 1st).

My mom quit smoking before pregnancy, and dad never smoked. Still neurodivergent. I've not personally heard of a causal link there before.

I second that it's probably sewage unless it was actual trash waiting to be picked up.

The laws changed prior to the olympics coming, so it's not like it was pre-corona and pre-olympics. Even some places that didn't legally have to change used corona as an excuse because of the recommendations of the government (not law). Still a lot of places with smoking.

A lot of Japan as well, though the laws changed to ban it in some places prior to the olympics so (Tokyo, at least) isn't nearly as smokey as it was before corona and the olypmics.

Yeah, Doc, I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but it seems like I have an early breakfast or a late dinner...
