Pharmacology is probably a bad example because of the amount of legal fighting done within the pharmaceutical industry to keep people using (sometimes addicted to) their product as long as possible and to downplay any side-effects. Of course limiting resources to anyone that could oppose their sales is going to be common. So I wouldn’t say my point (which is that it is unethical to publish with no regard towards stochastic social harm on controversial topics) is the reason it’s difficult to obtain research for that industry specifically but the nature of that industry itself to keep information proprietary.

I think your first point contradicts your second.

I’m sure most people would consider it to be unethical if a study is published while knowing it is not truthful.

I understand that doing research can take a long time and costs money but publishing findings that partially confirm a pre-existing stigma of a vulnerable group of people, witnessing bigots leverage said research to voice oppression against said group, and wanting to do it all again is definitely in the realm of being unethical.

The pursuit of nuanced truth is a luxury that is being warped and tarnished by psychotic bigotry. Performing research for the sake of truth that might get real people harmed or killed is by definition unethical.

Community building. That’s the best thing we can do right now. Building social structures to help take care of everyone when the crumbling system will inevitably fail us. This can include making sure that vulnerable people are safe when ICE are sighted in the local area.

I honestly don’t understand what point you’re trying make.

That’s why, in general you should look into non-GMO or organic foods. There are a few fruits and vegetables that are hardy on their own, but berries, broccoli, spinach, etc tend to absorb the chemicals used by farmers and people are indirectly ingesting them.

I’m not sure what you mean. It should be a planet by the definition I gave before unless I didn’t convey what I was trying to say correctly. It’s definitely large, heavy, and spherical enough to be a planet in my opinion.

There’s tons of different sized objects in our solar system and it’s distinguishable enough to qualify in this one.

I’d agree with you but the definition is arbitrary and is not of Natural Kind. Even worse, instead of making the definition of a planet more clear it just makes the determining what is a planet more difficult.

Honestly, if they just went with defining ‘Major Planets’, ‘Minor Planets’, and asteroids determined by mass and spherical shape, I think everyone would’ve moved on by now.

What a stain on history.

We’re using an alt social media platform, it’s more likely that we’d also use other alternative services as well, especially when Lemmy users seem to be more tech savvy than most. It doesn’t help that Microsoft and the other tech giants are forcing the use of anti-consumer features when you can use Linux in the same way without being forced to use features you don’t want to use.

Solution: don’t run hosted services on your edge appliance.

In OP’s case, I’d use the RPi for the OpenWRT router and the miniPC for any relatively small hosted services I need. That way you can keep your services in its own DMZ away from your IOT devices assuming you have a smart tv/roku/firestick or other random likely vulnerable devices.

Network segment everything you can, but at the very least, I’d keep your services off of the device that is separating your LAN from WAN.

You’re right. It is easy to make these comments but it’s also a cautionary tale. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to use something within a “walled garden” but also retain ownership/access of it yourself.

Just having an external HDD for a backup goes a long way.

Sounds like your DNS server is filtered. Try using another server (like 9.9.9.9) in your network connection.

Good idea. Let’s just do what the fascists are doing. That’ll show them!

Which watch do you have, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m actually on the verge of getting a new one since my old one broke months ago.

It sounds like they just turned off the population by race indicators. So, while it may have been drawn with respect to just population density, that still doesn’t mean that it’s not discriminatory.

This is ignorant at best and exactly what these racists were wanting at worst.

It was never about making sense. It’s about putting pressure on lower classes and upward wealth redistribution. Why not a two-for-one?

From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.

The food industry has changed a lot since GMOs and various Herbicides/Pesticides have entered the picture. Ultra processed foods are rife with modified foods so they can be sold at a lower cost. I would be surprised if this wasn’t part of the problem.

Solipsism is definitely one way to look at it.
