The methods of salmonella mitigation, storing eggs from vaccinated chickens unwashed at room temp or storing washed eggs in the refrigerator, have roughly equal outcomes. There are still many egg-related salmonella outbreaks across Europe each year, roughly equivalent to the US. One method is not superior to another as far as outcomes, they’re just two different systems that already exist and therefore are unlikely to change without a good reason

The research shows both methods are equally effective at controlling salmonella, afaik

You can ask “what if?” all you want, but that doesn’t make your imagined alternative real. The news media calls states when they’re confident in the outcome. Show me somewhere they got it wrong

News orgs call states based on a combination of polls and vote counts. States that poll significantly in one direction or the other are typically called early in that direction because the outcome is not in doubt

One iPhone has about 8 billion transistors in it, so makes sense

I closed my account with Chase during Occupy Wall Street and also never looked back. When I accidentally overdraft my credit union account, they just automatically pull it out of my savings account with no associated fee. Who’d’ve thunk having a computer automatically do something could be a free service

You have to think people who maintain a BoA account skew low-information

I’d be interested to culture petri dishes off my hand after I use a new paper towel to turn off the faucet vs grabbing the wet handle with my entire hand and shutting it off and then drying off my hand…

Paper towels folded over on themselves absolutely create a barrier between my hand and the door handle. I’m not talking about flushable paper or toilet seat covers

I wash my hands before I piss because my dick is the cleanest surface in that bathroom. Touch nothing afterward without a paper towel barrier

Uhh…what are we talking about again?

The Yellow Wallpaper strikes again

Bro the GME short squeeze is going to hit any day now. We’re going to be millionaires bro, you just wait

More Japanese-produced Godzilla movies, please! The US-produced ones suck

I’ll bite…what is on that plate

After the end of the Cold War, there’s a clear trend in US spending where it ratchets down every year during Democratic administrations and up again during Republican administrations. The only exceptions are the first two years of the Obama admin, after he inherited Bush’s wars, and 2023, after Russia invaded Ukraine
