Cigar smokers typically do not inhale the smoke, unlike cigarette smokers

...in the 169 rats that were part of the study.

It further concludes:

> High doses of nicotine or repeated exposure may also promote anxiety (citing 3 studies)

> low doses of nicotine have a similar effect to decrease anxiety behaviours [...] whereas high doses of nicotine promote anxiety behaviours

Interesting aside. Why doesn't Sinclair Media Group count as "establishment" media?

I did not call Sinclair Broadcast Group a "tabloid". This is just one of the nearly 200 publications they own. The second-largest television station operator in the United States isn't "establishment?"

Murdoch's NY Post is a tabloid too, ranked 4th in the US by distribution; are they "mainstream?"

> ah, I see, the crux of the issue

Oh wow, you didn't know any of these facts before posting. You're their target audience.

Sinclair Broadcast Group isn't "establishment media"?!

It's the second-largest television station operator in the United States, owning/operating about 200 stations, covering 40% of American households. Our former president publicly supported them and he's a coastal elite who's very well connected.

This tabloid is owned by the far-right Sinclair Broadcast Group, and has been criticized by Media Matters for America for airing COVID-19 misinformation. This is a rehashing of the NY Post article (a week ago).

> New York lost nearly 34,000 health care workers due to the vaccination requirement

Note how vague "lost" is here. It includes workers that quit, retired, etc.

it was up to employers, rather than the governor, to determine what happened to employees who did not comply

This is really the most nuanced understanding that you can muster

Seemed cogent to me. At the very least, it contributed to discussion more than you dismissing something using a very tired cliche.

usually it's a play on animus

Wow, thank you for your honesty (especially on a site where you can't delete comments).

Interesting, can you explain why fentanyl is the only real choice, instead of alternatives, please?

> you know what want Fentanyl to work [sic]

Your concerns are addressed in the article you're commenting on

Bulimia or similar? Treatment options already exist.

(Unless this is a joke about eating disorders)

My understanding was there's a risk of disc degradation, is this a concern?

How do you "back up" a CD/DVD?

> You could use a bit of JavaScript with setTimeout to get rid of the modal at the right time

This always felt hacky to me, "animating" visibility instead is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

They're saying the (Republican) special prosecutor's charges are not political, but instead legitimate and in line with Democrats'.

We hear this platitude a lot.

Specific to this article they're saying "the Republican special prosecutor has good reasons to do this (that aren't political)" to cut that argument off.

Is there any evidence this is true?

It's funny that the taxpayers are paying for a police force that, after "25 calls on record to police", did not handle the situation?

That's sad and frustrating.

Yes, I suppose changing things changes them. Appreciate the redundancy.

It wasn't intended as a replacement for iTunes, it's a streaming service (iTunes was for music you wanted to own).

I think Apple Music turns 15 years old this year (released in iOS 1)...it hasn't come that far in all that time.

"the suspect jumped in their car and fled the scene"

In English the word can be used as a singular pronoun

They note:

> If you are a Multi-Account Containers user who has already assigned Facebook to a Container, this extension will not work

(along with workarounds)

That's what the article says already

> In practice, does it matter? Maybe. This heavily depends on the web page

I thought preferred method was to record performance of a user's flow based on selector

I think Chromium specifically got rid of a tool like this in "Drop the CSS selector profiler"

You can't link Spotify to it? What does the voice assistant on a speaker do if not "Siri play Shooting Star by Bag Raiders"?

Surely you can link Apple Music?

You can ask voice assistants to play playlists or albums as well, not just a single track.

Does it work with non-Apple hardware?

Amazon and Google have the "works with Amazon/Google" so you can buy any brand of hardware (smart plugs for ex) and control them all with one device.

A workaround introduced me to the CSS `filter` property. (Some monster value starting with progid:DXImageTransform...).

Crazy considering how much I use the property now.
