Yeah, but you still have a 99.999…% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

It’s still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

“NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

Only the vampire bats. And they only live in Central and South America. Although bats do carry diseases.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Sounds like “Too Shy” by Kajagoogoo

Good read.

They need something like this for colonoscopies.

If there was a way to test it at home, I’m sure a lot less people would die from colorectal cancer.

Leave this here if you wanna learn more about the woman behind this story. She’s not completely unbiased herself and is funded by a Houston billionaire. Her name is Nina Teicholz.

She still might be correct. And the association between saturated fats and heart disease does seem to be moderated by other factors. For example, cheese, butter, and yogurt seem to have more benefits than harm, even with their high saturated fat content. But again, this is based on limited studies.

Also, fiber seems to be a moderator as well. So a high psyllium diet will moderate the effects of saturated fat.

And this is from the WHO, 2022.

Our findings strongly reinforce the guidance that, when replacement energy is required, it should be provided by PUFA, plant sources of MUFA and slowly digested carbohydrates. Thus, dietary fats should come largely from seeds, nuts or liquid vegetable oil (olive, canola) rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats or land animal fats and coconut oil.

Overall though, there are no questions as to whether unsaturated fats are bad for you (they’re not). And the environmental impact of eating saturated animal fats can’t be denied. It would be better for the world if we reduced meat consumption and the use of animal products.

She “made it” by marrying a billionaire co-founder of Google. Then cheated on him with Elon Musk. Her husband then divorced her because of it and…

Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan’s attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin’s $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.

Yeah, she really represents the American Dream.

Meh. Your value as a human isn’t tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

This whole thing of “striving as a honed skill” sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

You seem to think that unless you’ve done something, you’re worthless.

It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

Yeah, that’s why no one is having families anymore.

The last point has to come with a huge caveat. Some of those developing countries are pretty unsafe outside of resorts without a guide or a local that knows where you should and shouldn’t go.

But she didn’t say, “I hope she beats the fuck out of him”. You’re changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, “I hope he killed her.”

That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women to a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it’s hyperbole.

Your point is still taken, and it’d be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.

As long as they’re working on it and not implementing it anytime soon, because the tech is definitely not there yet.

I honestly feel bad for deaf people who have to put up with the state of subtitles in all media. There should be some universal standards that all studios should be forced to adhere to.

It’s amazing that there isn’t. Where are the disability rights?

And of course, translated material just adds another layer of complexity. So imagine, an AI has to first capture the proper words being said, then translate it in context and understand obscure references the author might have made, etc… Yeah right… When AI can do that, then we’ll really have artificial “intelligence”.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

And it’s not just energy. Generative AI systems need enormous amounts of fresh water to cool their processors and generate electricity. In West Des Moines, Iowa, a giant data-centre cluster serves OpenAI’s most advanced model, GPT-4. A lawsuit by local residents revealed that in July 2022, the month before OpenAI finished training the model, the cluster used about 6% of the district’s water. As Google and Microsoft prepared their Bard and Bing large language models, both had major spikes in water use — increases of 20% and 34%, respectively, in one year, according to the companies’ environmental reports. One preprint suggests that, globally, the demand for water for AI could be half that of the United Kingdom by 2027.
