So much better, thanks!

That’s a strong wrist. Too much self-pleasure!

Circumference, not width

I’m not going to get into the technical details of manifest v2 and v3, as I think it’s beside the point.

I think we can agree that given Google has announced the end of v2, recommending uBlock Origin on Chrome right now would be pretty mad, right?

Ublock on Firefox. Remember Google just kneecapped adblockers on Chrome!

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!

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.”

I don’t know about your personal situation, and it may be different for whatever you are suffering with, however the part you quoted is true for a lot of cases.

Having just looked after my wife through a period of ~3 years really severe depression I’ve seen it first hand, it completely changed her personality and outlook and she was saying all kinds of stuff she’s quite embarrassed by now. She genuinely couldn’t think straight at all or see any way out, and in that moment if offered the choice to die she might have taken it (a fact she is quite scared by now, having mostly recovered).

Similar story with my brother, who has bipolar… when he’s manic he has an absolute inability to hold a train of thoughts together for longer than 30 seconds. When he’s depressed it’s absolutely awful. He’s now stable and enjoying his life.

I’m not arguing that this shouldn’t be an option for some very extreme chronic conditions, but it’s obviously complicated.

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to give Element another go and see if it’s more reliable for me nowadays.

Is the fix a client thing or is there an interaction with the server as well? I had really bad issues with message decryption on Element for Android last year (July 2023 based on the date I installed a different matrix client).

I’m self-hosting synapse on Debian Bullseye (from bullseye-backports).

The bubble bunch, marching to the beat

Not sure if I’m just misreading you, but which party do you think was the opposition during the brexit referendum and has subsequently gained power in the UK? The Tories called the referendum and have been in power since. Hopefully we will be rid of them at the upcoming election but I wouldn’t count on it.

Huh, TIL!

I’ve never seen/heard anyone call it a chaise lounge in the UK. Or maybe I’ve seen it written like that and just assumed it was autocorrect.

I think it was a joke? Difficult to tell on the internet!

Not much good news going around at the moment is there. All the more reaaon to celebrate this, which can’t have been easy or quick and can only have been achieved a result of hard work over many years.

Moot point!
