A blog post from Pornhub said that its latest locations for shutdowns are Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska. The site said it would end operations in those states in July 2024. The website closed in Texas last week, and has also blocked access to its site in Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia in response to similar state legislation.

This was clearly made by a mosquito. So biased.

Not my claim that it’s new, I copy pasted the article

Tl;dr: A new filing in a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims against the government of Saudi Arabia alleges that al-Qaeda had significant, indeed decisive, state support for its attacks. Officials of the Saudi government, the plaintiffs’ attorneys contend, formed and operated a network inside the United States that provided crucial assistance to the first cohort of 9/11 hijackers to enter the country.

Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.

More generally, they weren’t doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper’s publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.

tl;dr: it’s an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.

I’m guessing, but it’s probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?

None of this is right, lol.

So named after mutated genes - thanks

No explanation of what FLiRT stands for. A+ article s/

Oh, I see - thanks!

Were they ever made with lead? Sounds like a bad choice for something that goes in an oven, since lead has such a low melting point. Not that I know anything, just pontificating.

This

Lol hadn’t thought of it, but not surprised.

Yeah, I had heard that too and eventually looked up the research paper and it’s bs, lil. It’s pretty much an academic paper just saying maybe they do and someone should look into it… No actual results. Not the paper fault - media spinned it.

Read the whole paper though. It has percentages. Just sayin

I read it, it’s from 2013

For the record, people claim that cat purring cures things (heals bones, for example). This is not true. There is a published academic paper claiming it, I read it, tldr it’s total garbage.

True, agreed!

Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.
