Fake accounts are definitely a problem, but the people who voted leave are real not Russian bots.

Politicians haven’t done a U-turn on Brexit because basically everyone outside of a small % of highly political people is sick of talking about it, so making it your platform to restart the debate would be a massive own goal.

Doesn’t Biden have a broken foot that hasn’t healed very well and makes him shuffle around a bit?

Two meetings a day sounds like luxury to me! I don’t have ADHD but meetings still absolutely kill my productivity. The switching penalty for technical tasks is much higher than non-technical people realise.

This video has a great comparison of different locking nut systems and how they hold up against vibration:

Just a small note that the businesses only have to open source their version if they release it. If they just use it internally then they don’t have to distribute the source code. So it depends on the use case.

I got some smidge for Day 2; sadly I already looked like I had chicken pox at that point so it’s difficult to tell if it helped much!

Haha, that should be Katrine (thanks autocorrect).

Sounds like I need a tent with arm and leg tubes like those fume cupboards for handling hazardous chemicals, so I can turtle tent around Scotland :D

Never seen those before, thanks!

I’m on some really strong antihistamines (fenofexadine) but sadly that didn’t seem to put them off!

I’ve been reading up on them and apparently the females bite to feed on blood in order to mature their eggs, which they can lay & hatch in 24h…so if you’re in one place for more than a day it may actually get progressively worse.

“I was a hossenfeffer biter, like my mother, and my mother’s mother, and my mother’s mother’s mother…”

Remnants of my small child, we sacrificed her to the midges to save ourselves. RIP

More similar to Sunak calling the current General Election. It’s very unlikely they will win but they have to do something rather than let it get even worse!

Even if you do stick your fingers in the outlets, it’s not a problem if you use a good socket

Difficult for them though isn’t it? In reality, they can’t do anything but line up behind any plausible peace proposal that is brokered by another country. We’re not in a position to be the mediators this time.

They can’t come out and say they will do something specific (unless it’s just words, strongly condemn etc) because it will be hung around their necks when it doesn’t happen.

That’s true, however people can be junior doctors for a surprisingly long time so you can see why they are pissed off! I assumed it was the first 3 years after graduation or something until one of my friends who is a doctor explained it to me.

Junior doctors are qualified doctors in clinical training.

They have completed a medical degree and can have up to nine years’ of working experience as a hospital doctor, depending on their specialty, or up to five years working and gaining experience to become a general practitioner (GP).

Have you turned off Firefox’s built-in enhanced tracking protection? If not, turn it off but leave uBlock Origin on and see if that solves your issue.

Pretty sure it was like this:

I looked into these before and believe the inverters shut off if the mains shuts off. The DC side of the circuit would still be potentially dangerous though.

The inverters need there to be power in the mains circuit because they convert DC to AC and match the phase of the AC power they are generating to the mains supply.

I had assumed the women weren’t sterilised by the normal contraceptive meds, but it seems they used a large dose of Depo-Provera which is a legit contraceptive injection. Not the usual pills but still.

There are also stories in that article of people having forced hysterectomies.

America’s history of racism is so dark.

The questions I had are:

• Do we use flash pasteurisation in the UK?
• How high is the residual risk for flash pasteurised milk?

Yes we do use flash pasteurisation in the UK.

Residual risk for flash pasteurised milk is high enough to be concerning, but the study didn’t follow exactly the same process as industry does during pasteurisation, and those extra steps may also help to kill the virus. So we probably need another study to add in those other steps and see if the virus survives or not.

Not ideal though.

Heating the milk to 72 degrees Celsius, or 181 degrees Fahrenheit, for 15 or 20 seconds — conditions that approximated flash pasteurization — greatly reduced levels of the virus in the milk, but it didn’t inactivate it completely.

Milk samples heated for 15 or 20 seconds were still able to infect incubated chicken eggs, a test the US Food and Drug Administration has called the gold-standard for determining whether viruses remain infectious in milk.

“But, we emphasize that the conditions used in our laboratory study are not identical to the large-scale industrial treatment of raw milk,” senior study author Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist who specializes in the study of flu and Ebola, said in an email.

That’s a good reason not to panic over the study findings, said Lakdawala.

Lakdawala said that commercial flash pasteurization involves a preheating step, which wasn’t done here. It also involves homogenization, a process that emulsifies the fat globules in milk so the cream won’t separate. Both of those steps would probably make it harder for the virus to survive, but she adds that the results of this study suggest full process of commercial flash pasteurization should be done “with all the steps in place.”
