Prions are misfolded proteins that misfold other proteins they contact. They’re much harder to kill with heat or sanitizer and pretty much always fatal.

It’s also extremely common in the white community. They’re saying that his real name isn’t one that would cause someone to assume you are nonwhite, like Will Dewitt, Ashley Jones, or Casey Smith.
I’d say closer to 400. Quarter pounders have only ever been common as smashburgers or at shitty burger restaurants.
Nice bar: whatever menu cocktail or specialty product looks good.
Okay bar: Amaro/mezcal if they have it, gin/rum if they don’t.
Not very good bar: beer or cider
Bad bar: bottle beer. No cans, mixers, or taps, and well pours only if truly desperate.
Kind of. “Gratuities” are legal, bribery is not, and presidents are immune for prosecution for acts undertaken as part of their duties.
A “gratuitity” must be made after the fact, which is still totally a type of bribery, but it isn’t the same as making all bribery legal as a blanket rule.
Presidents are now immune to prosecution, but only regarding official acts. The court refused to rule on what an official vs unofficial act is, basically meaning that they’ll decide whether something is legal or not when they feel like it. The obvious problem here is how heavily stacked the supreme court is, but they also didn’t just come out and say “fuck it, presidents have absolute power.”
Edit: To be clear, both of these rulings are absolutely fucking terrible. If our courts had any appropriate amount of oversight, the blatant corruption on display would be enough to see the court disbarred and indicted. They’re just not quite as bad as people describe on Lemmy.
As a service person, this sounds great. You actually tip your barber more than I do.
The only thing I think you didn’t account for is fancier bars with elaborate cocktails, which tbf most people do not frequent. I’d do 15-20% for those, simply because it’s more involved service and more involved drinks.
Not necessarily. You can live outside your means at any income level.
Also, children are fucking expensive.
Well they said “all”, so more like " the gang causes a massive global financial collapse."
Disagree with your underlying assertion that students do not read nonfiction books. Your textbooks are nonfiction.
In terms of more “classic” nonfiction materials, j don’t think it’s a very important skill. Something like Anne Frank’s diary or Night can definitely be powerful, but I don’t think reading a secondary source on the American civil war has any more value for a student than a chapter in a textbook.
Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.
Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.
Average car price before the pandemic was about $38k. By 2023, it was $49k.
The trend has been ongoing for a long time due to general inflation and a growing preference for SUVs, but it went fucking bananas during the pandemic, and auto manufacturers have taken advantage.
That’s been the case for at least the past couple of decades. The massive price increases have been over the past 4 years.
Sort of. I’m glad we are wasting less in terms of automobile manufacture, but this is caused by price gouging on the part of automakers more than anything.
That means when we all eventually have to buy another car, we’re just going to get fucked.
That’s good, it means the cap won’t restrict what you can save for your children.
That’s actually exactly my point. We should carefully examine whether the infringement is worth the benefit before blindly letting the government do whatever.
In the case of seatbelt laws, it is worth it because people are really bad at understanding inertia, and wearing a seatbelt isn’t a burden to anyone. In the case of raw milk, it’s worth it because tuberculosis is fucking horrifying and very contagious.
It is disappointing to me that these hours are legal, but this guy was an analyst at a major financial institution.
Mandatory overtime wouldn’t surprise me at all, it is fairly common and something I am subjected to as well. But I can almost guarantee nobody else forced him into 100 hour weeks.
It supposedly tastes much better. I’m sure there’s also a few conspiracy nuts who think pasteurization makes you weaker for the jewish takeover or something.
It’s also a personal liberty issue. People don’t like being told they can’t do something, and while I agree with bans on consumption of raw milk, we should critically analyze any law where the government tells private citizens what to do or not do. Especially when there isn’t clear harm being done to another person.
The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.
That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There’s going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.
Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home’s equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.
“I don’t really get why people get so up in arms about discussing it, but Sex is fun. Be careful though, those swimmers are persistent little fuckers.”
“Drugs feel good and you think everything is fine until one day you look up and realize it all went wrong years ago. I can’t stop you, but I really hope you’ll choose not to try them.”
I think both worked out well. I’m sex positive and I generally avoid drugs because it just isn’t worth the risk of finding that one substance that totally ruins my life.
