Clearly this is the result of artificial manipulation.

The science and politics behind the panic over ultraprocessed foods
Reply in thread
Did you read the article? It also cites studies similar to the ones you linked. For instance:
One consistent result stands out: People who consume more ultraprocessed foods are at higher risk for multiple chronic diseases and early death.
I guess it makes sense, since the UPF framework literally and explicitly disregards substance in favor of a notion of pure sourcing. As with the genetic fallacy, it can be a useful heuristic but is ultimately unsound.

Given the same number of decimals, Fahrenheit is higher resolution. It can communicate ambient temperatures slightly more efficiently than Celsius, because it is designed to do that and Celsius is not. I can definitely tell the difference between, say, a climate control setting of 70F and 71F. If I wanted that level of control with Celsius, I'd have to communicate/have displayed 3 digits and a decimal point. That is less efficient. Is that a big deal? No. Does it mean Celsius is bad? Also no. I think we here in the US should switch to metric for a number of reasons, but this would be a slight downside to switching. Sorry if that hurts your feelings of superiority but it's the truth.

Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@[email protected])
Wow it must be an extremely novel experience for an iOS programmer to have a company arbitrarily make decisions about what you can and cannot do on their platform

It works better if you put it in your mouth first.
Imagine using something dangerous to generate power or heat for a home. Something that if it leaks into your home could suffocate you overnight or explode, or that in normal use can give children respiratory issues or cause cancer. Thank goodness we're too smart to use something like that unlike the absolute imbeciles in this comic

Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies is bullshit. When a group of boys actually got stranded together, they peacefully cooperated with each other to solve their problems.

The most important part of this is the primaries. If we fill these seats with a bunch of Chuck Schumers/Hakeem Jeffries it won't make a difference. If we fill them with Zohran Mamdanis, on the other hand...

Sweeping EU rules for tech giants take effect today. Here’s what’s changing | CNN Business
As someone from the US, a hearty thank you to Europeans. Not all of these will directly benefit me, but some of it will. Also, Apple has to be so fucking mad that they can't keep their app store monopoly, even if just in Europe.

Beware of this scam. Proton swap is not an official proton product.
If proton swap were an official proton product, it would still be a scam because crypto is a scam.

Irrational
My only guess as to what this could mean is that since quantum mechanics is quantum, i.e. discrete, the universe therefore cannot be continuous as the reals are. But this is a category error. Just because you could never find an object that is, say, exactly pi meters long, does not mean that the definition of pi is threatened. There's nothing infinite that we can observe, but infinity is still a useful concept. And it works both ways; just because quantum mechanics is our best model of the universe doesn't mean the universe is therefore quantum. 150 years ago everyone believed the universe was like a big clockwork mechanism, perfectly deterministic, because Newtonian physics are deterministic. And who knows, maybe they were right, and we just don't have the framework to understand it so we have a nondeterministic approximation!

Density saves nature
If the island were 100 times larger, the houses would take 1% of the land area, leaving 99%. The apartment complex would take up .04%, leaving 99.96%, which isn't much of an improvement. The proportions of our planet are much closer to my scenario than this made up island. That's a reason why we might not "prefer apartments in our own town."
There are good reasons you might want density, this just isn't one of them.
