Bangladeshi couple was executed in Saudi Arabia for kissing.

Bangladeshi authorities say they were not informed of the recent execution of two Bangladeshi nationals in the holy city of Mecca until after it had taken place, local media reports.

A Bangladeshi man and woman were executed last Wednesday after being convicted of committing an "indecent act" inside a mosque, according to the Saudi interior ministry. The ministry did not specify the nature of the offending act.

[Solved] Radarr/Sonarr Remote Path Mapping

Reply in thread

You said radarr, sonarr, and qbit are all on docker on the same host, right? The correct fix is to remove the remote path mapping and fix the volumes for the arrs to be /srv/data:/data or /srv/data/torrents:/data/torrents.

Your path for /tv should also be more like radarr has, where instead of the host path ending in media, it should end in media/tv

Pregnant South Korean woman loses baby after she was turned away by 6 hospitals

South Korean ambulances cannot move a patient to an ER without the receiving hospital’s approval.

Refusals have grown more frequent in recent years, driven by chronic staff shortages and the medical staff’s fear of criminal charges if a patient dies in their care. Doctors in South Korea are prosecuted for medical negligence at higher rates than those in other developed countries, according to multiple studies.

A proposed additive ban could change New York’s pizza and bagels, some say for the better

NEW YORK — After more than a decade of mixing and kneading dough in his family’s Brooklyn pizzeria, Salvatore Lo Duca recently made a distressing discovery: A key component of their thin-crust pies, bromated flour, contained a suspected carcinogen already banned in much of the world.

So, in the back kitchen of Lo Duca Pizza, the 39-year-old began tweaking the original recipe handed down by his parents — with unexpected results.

“When we started playing around with a different flour, I actually took a liking to it,” said Lo Duco, who runs the shop with his five brothers. “It’s a little more expensive, but the quality is there.”

A looming ban on the additive, potassium bromate, may soon force thousands of pizzerias and bagel shops across New York into a similar transition.

...the oxidizing agent, which reduces rest time for dough and helps ensure a stronger, chewier product.

FDA refuses to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot

In a release Tuesday, Moderna said the FDA did not identify any safety or efficacy concerns with the vaccine. Instead, it said the FDA took issue with the “comparator” in its clinical trial — the vaccine the company used as a benchmark to evaluate its own shot.

The FDA said the use of the standard flu shot as a comparator “does not reflect the best-available standard of care.” The standard flu shot is FDA-approved.

Last year, Kennedy ordered that all new vaccines go through placebo-controlled clinical trials.

When vaccines are already available for a disease, it's considered unethical to give clinical trial participants a placebo, rather than compare the new vaccine to the existing one. Giving a placebo would leave people who would be otherwise protected vulnerable to infection.

So glad we have someone competent leading the FDA. /s

My *arrstack is setup properly but downloading is not working

Your qbit is firewalled (see the orange flame), you want a vpn that can do port forwarding. Public trackers also lie about seed counts so you can try raising the minimum seed counts in the arrs for that trackers, in this case it looks like there are zero seeders. Public torrents also generally will have many of the trackers fail to connect like in your screenshot, not necessarily bad as long as you address the other two issues.

N.Y.C. Mayor Zohran Mamdani Declines 18% Pay Raise After City Council Approves Massive New Salary

The legislation provided a modest boost to councilmembers’ annual income — from $164,500 to $175,500 — and a sizable 18% increase for the mayor. If welcomed, Mamdani’s salary would rise from $258,750 to $305,800, a difference that’s greater than the average income in the Bronx.

The last pay hike for N.Y.C. officials came in 2016 and costs have risen more than 30% since then, which served as justification for the city council to move forward with a salary adjustment.
