when I check out there is usually a button that says "as fast as possible" or "fewer delivery days" or "slower delivery for discount"

I see the same. I checked “as fast as possible.”

My point is that Amazon used to be good. Now it’s not as fast. And the price hasn’t dropped.


stray cats are fixed and have ears clipped in several countries so you have an excess of those tissues hanging around no matter what

First, it still hurts the cats.

Second, they clipped the cats ears at specific places because they needed different color hair follicle samples. They describe it in the paper.



If 27/30 meet the bar for "bad" is that an acceptable level of policing speech? 19/30?


Nest/Google also hid microphones in products so ...


Eventually someone is 'root'

Up until recently (and my intervention) my work had multiple aws accounts tied to individual people, where they had inherited a personal account into the billing org.

There are also, in business use, some domains where an executive personally owns the registration but has delegated DNS into the company. There is no written agreement.

A former employer completely lost access to a couple of social media accounts (twitter/$company, etc) after laying off enough people.


hoisted by its own petard!


2024 NIH guidance: https://web.archive.org/web/20240409042454/https://www.nih.g...

These word changes were real things that happened by government policy.


> Both pregnant women and pregnant people are acceptable phrases.

Literally the first sentence in the guidelines that talk about birthing person.

The entire paragraph says "it's fine if you want to" and isn't prescriptive.

This is a fake controversy. You are literally just mad that some people recognize and want to be accommodating to trans people.


when did this retcon get invented?


I'm not sure if you're kidding or what but the mothers in that paper had 46 (the normal number) of XX chromosomes, a female with a mosaic-type defect containing some Y - successfully giving birth further proves these were female humans.


If you want your mind-blown, read up on feto-maternal microchimerism:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8762399/

tl;dr: All boy moms will have some proportion of XY cells lodged in their bodies until they die. And this can result in them showing up as genetically male on a DNA test, simply because they once gave birth to a boy. When you get down to a cellular or molecular level, notions of "sex" or even "individuality" are far more blurry than our mental models admit. Sorta like recent findings that by cell count, humans are only about 43% human, and the rest is the bacteria making up our microbiome, and that our microbiome can have significant impact on our behavior.
