It's hilarious to me that they're mad about Force witches. That was a thing literal decades ago! Keep up, dudes.

The quote seems ridiculous until you read further & realize this data center is incredibly loud (they're cooling the servers with fans), rattling windows blocks away & even preventing people from sleeping. The mine is emitting as much as 90 decibels on the nightly - that's basically a lawnmower.

These are not the actions of a healthy democracy.

The authors are all scientists from Columbia University, UC Berkeley, & Michigan State. I doubt they're especially misogynistic. There's no need to assume bad faith. In fact it would be good to know just how badly other things in our environments are contaminated so these things can be addressed.

Hey all. We can ridicule evil people without the lazy trope of criticizing their appearance. Too often that just veers into *sshole territory that hurts people other than the target of your ire. And it's mean-spirited.

You know, it's funny because they could actually nail Biden on something substantial like Palestine. But no, much better to keep focusing on the debate instead. 🙄

Apparently it makes for less stable foam, but next time I'm going to reduce the sugar. Right now it's almost as sweet as typical Thai iced coffee in the US, which is a lot. 😂 Will try a hand mixer instead of my milk frother too - the milk frother made OK foam, but a mixer would do a better job.

I'm a few years late to the trend, but I decided to try making a Dalgona coffee. It's good! 😄

I doubt they added lead on purpose.

That said, some of the metals may be on purpose - they didn't know.

There are metals just in the environment (both natural and from pesticides, etc.), so I wouldn't assume cotton balls are any safer.

It'd be great if this was regularly tested and regulated.

The study authors brought this up but didn't have a hard conclusion:

For those who have been asking about environmental contamination vs. additives, here's what the study says. TL;DR: It's likely background contamination but the metals may also be deliberately added.
