 Scientists issue critical warning after linking common appliance to major health risk: 'The problem is far worse than we thought'

For the first time, researchers are now able to link premature deaths to gas stove pollution. While previous studies have identified the dangers of gas stoves, this groundbreaking review has tied thousands of early deaths to the popular stoves.

This is the first scientific review to have the data necessary to pinpoint premature deaths due to gas stove pollution. Although the study's findings tie 40,000 premature deaths to nitrogen dioxide exposure, it's important to note that the researchers believe this number to be much higher.

Gas stoves release harmful pollutants that can cause severe health risks as well as environmental damage. On top of exacerbating asthma, the pollutants from gas stoves also exacerbate rising global temperatures.

Tesla tells US government Trump trade war could ‘harm’ EV companies
Even Tesla is getting worried about Donald Trump’s trade policies.

Elon Musk’s Tesla has warned that Donald Trump’s trade war could expose the electric carmaker to retaliatory tariffs that would also affect other automotive manufacturers in the US.

In an unsigned letter to Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, Tesla said it “supports fair trade” but that the US administration should ensure it did not “inadvertently harm US companies”.

I managed to get in the draw for these on the Nike Snkrs app because I imagine these are going to resell for quite a bit more than the original price. Never done this before but keeping my fingers crossed.

But they're also kind of cool and I might want them to wear?

I've wanted the original black / gray / red Jordan 4's since they came out in 1989. My dad looked everywhere to try and find that colorway, but could only find the less cool white / blue / gray. We drove all over the Dallas area to so many malls looking for them the black ones.

 Car booty today found at Errol, Scotland's largest car boot and I got there late!

A guy had 2 tables covered in a House and Trance & dance collection at £3 a pop, there were loads of Deee-Lite, Depth Charge and Warp/Ninja Tune 12"s but these two took my eye and were in great condition.

£1 for this early Brazilian pressing of the second Gilberto Gil album.

This pair were in the same box but got the 2 for a fiver, the Radio Caroline Story is a 5x LP box set.

7" odds & ends included half a dozen by Otway & Barrett including these 3.

I couldn't leave Can-Can by Can for 50p even though I find their version pretty annoying.

6" flexi-disc originally given away with a teen mag in 1974.

 Purim is two days only in Jerusalem (There is probably some reason but I don't know why.) Everywhere else it's a one day holiday.
This year due to the lunar calendar religious people use, weird religious stuff, and Sabbath, Purim started officially on Thursday evening and is ending tonight. Four days.
This probably happens once in a really long while. This is the first time I've seen it in 20 years.

 There's a dating apps phenomena I've fairly recently heard about.

When inputting stats men often claim to be significantly taller than they truly are. This is frustrating for women who go to the effort of turning up for a date with a claimed 5'11"er only to be met by a five-fiver.

Since learning of this I've heard it a lot. It definitely seems to be a thing. Women are tired of this most ridiculous, utterly futile attempt to hoodwink.

We were discussing height at work a while back. My best friend Bella made a comment that she was taller than me, indirectly as a sideline in an anecdote.

Confused, I pointed out that we were the same height. This, I learned, was not possible. Bella was significantly taller than me, as was evidenced by the fact that when we talked, she looked down on me.

I asserted that we were the same height. "Duuude" she said, "why are men so weird about this. They can't deal with taller women".

Politely, I disagreed with the part about her being significantly taller.

She said "I'm, like, 5'11" and you're maybe 5'7. I'm a clear 4" taller".

So we got optically measured. Shoes off, independent assessor. No cheating. Marks on the wall:

Same height.

"So, Bella, if you're 5'11" then I'm 5'11" too"

"No way, you're much smaller".

Grudgingly though, she eventually agreed with the indisputable evidence.

Then we went to lunch with Megan, and we discussed height again.

"You're not 5'11" " Megan told me, "That's almost 6ft. You're about 5'7"."

But she did agree I was the same height as Bella, much to Bella's chagrin. Yet Bella was definitely 5'11".

Then later still, I was asked by a very vague acquaintance how tall I was, because she'd heard I had claimed to be 5'11" and looking at me, she felt very strongly I was nowhere near that. That lead to a bit of a dressing down and a lecture on the pointlessness of me lying about it, because I would always be found out. I was lectured quite extensively on the self-inflicted damage this common male lie causes, and told I would never find love until I was honest with myself and others.

Somewhat bruised and weary, I slunk home, not at all sure how tall I was. I called Bella once more who now informed me very confidently that she was currently 5'7", the same as me.

I felt ashamed that I had done the exact same thing as many other men. I had primped and pumped my altitudinal status despite falling obviously short. I was not 5'11", I was 5'7" and a liar.

But I still didn't know. So I went and found out, properly, what my actual height is.

It transpires I'm only 5'10-and-a -half-inches. An obvious and awful half an inch shorter than I have claimed.

Any women looking for a 5'11" man may need to adjust their height expectations down to somewhere around the 5'11" mark. Either that or seek men that are 6'4" instead.

Bella and I remain best friends. She still looks down on me. She is currently 5'10-and-a-half.

comment: maybe she has a smaller forehead? higher eyes position? lol hey! my eyes are up here!

comment: I think we intuitively judge height based on eye level, yes. Also stature and presence plays a part: I'm stoopy. But I also think we think...

comment: that 6ft is a lot taller than 6ft actually is. I think when women meet a 5'11er they are actually expecting a 6'3er.

There were blm signs all over the place yet no black people actually live in Vermont, in the window of the flagship Ben and Jerry’s there was a massive sign that said dismantle white supremacy - in the whitest state in the US. Just marvellous.

"Powerful A.I. Is Coming. We’re Not Ready"

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/…

These articles sound convincing until you read them more closely and realize none of it is based on anything...the authors are just citing vague statements by tech CEOs that almost certainly won't come true.

Maybe "AGI" (AI with human level thinking) will be achieved at some point but there's no way it's happening this year or next year.

comment: There is no AI, it's mostly hype

html_comment: There is no AI, it's mostly hype

comment: Scientists generally say that AGI will come before 2040, according to new analysis, slashing 20 years off previous predictions.

comment: What do you mean there is no AI? LOLz

html_comment: What do you mean there is no AI? LOLz

comment: Yeah but 50% chance it will happen sometime between 2040 and 2061 is completely different from saying it will happen next year

comment: You also can't reliably predict that far out. It depends on things that have not yet been invented being invented.

comment: LLMs are not true AI in the sense of the world used before LLMs, thus, there is no AI

comment: So when you  hear these "predictions" that "AGI is around the corner" it's just hype. All these CEOs need to raise more money so ofc they will say anything

comment: It's always "in the next 2 years"

html_comment: It's always "in the next 2 years"

comment: Whether you want to call it AI or just machine learning, what seems clear is LLMs lack a lot of the capabilities needed to match human intelligence.

comment: If none of this is based on anything, look no further than the second post in this thread, 11 years ago that was amazing, we’re lightyears ahead a decade later

comment: What I meant is the prediction that AGI is coming next year or in a few months is based on nothing. It's just people repeating hype and rumors.

comment: I stick with RAY KURZWEIL: In 1999, I predicted by 2029, we’d reach the Turing test and also AGI, where basically a computer can do anything a human can do.

comment: lol it's always 2-3 years ahead

html_comment: lol it's always 2-3 years ahead

comment: @uan See what's interesting is that the Turing test is much easier than AGI, Turing test just says you can't distinguish from a human. That has probably already

[User] Krassy

comment: All they need to do is train the LLM's on QBN and data and BOOM -- not only AGI but even ASI achieved.

comment: been achieved. A system that predicts the next token based on likelihood without understanding anything can easily pass a Turing test.

post: I've worked with KDP for several clients over the years, and honestly, the process of getting a book published and approved on Amazon has been a huge hassle. Once you finally manage to get your book live, it just gets lost in the massive sea of millions of titles on their platform. If you actually want anyone to discover your book, it turns into a straight-up 'pay to play' marketing game with Amazon.

comment: I've heard the same but there are other people worrying about the marketing stuff - just need to get them all ready with as little ball-ache as possible.

comment: Best of luck, and congrats on your new book!

comment: thanks, but it's not mine - just have the job of putting it together for work. What's the main issue with getting Amazon approval?

comment: Essentially is making sure that everything is compliant within the KDP platform, formatting, copyrights, content, etc.. If one of those is not correct...

comment: ...KDP will reject your book, and figuring out why it's not getting accepted will melt your brain. There is little to no support from KDP in resolving issues.

comment: Ha, great

html_comment: Ha, great

comment: would you bother with a separate cmyk version, or does the platform convert from rgb anyway?

 If AGI was really close to being achieved that suggests today's AI models should be smart enough to give us a good estimate of when it happens.

What's funny is if you ask the AI models themselves you get very pessimistic timelines.

Elon Musk says AGI before the end of this year

Grok says AGI might be achieved in 20-50 years

 Woke up this morning... standard routine of bathroom, breakfast, tea and then sat my ass down to work @ 8:30am like any normal day...

I remember opening my email and starting to read... but then the next thing I remember is stumbling around the apartment w/the worst headache and feeling like I was going to vomit (my site was all screwed up). My wife said she heard a large crash then some sounds of me moaning.

She found me in my office immensely disoriented (really fucked up mentally... I was making zero sense). I guess I was really sweaty and just moaning nonstop.

Anyway... it's been about 5 hours since the incident... it turns out I passed out and fell out of my aeron chair (it was tipped over - those are heavy chairs)... my glasses are all fucked up, my laptop was on the ground etc.

It took about 15 minutes to start to show itself but I guess I passed out, fell out of my chair and bashed the SHIT out of my head. My wife was so scared she called an ambulance (It took at least 15-20 mins for me to start making any sense).

Anyway... been at the hospital 4 hours. Had a ct scan, x-rays and tons of blood draws... I was just informed by my first doctor that I may have had my second heart attack based on some heart enzymes showing themselves...

...fuck

11 Best Print on Demand Companies and Sites (2025)
https://www.shopify.com/blog/pri…


[User] monNom

post:
 I've used society6 in the past, it seemed like a popular option at the time (not sure how it compares to today). I made 1 sale early on, then zero after that.

I think any of these print-on-demand marketplaces are going to be a challenge to find buyers on-site. You'll need to create your own audience on social-media and send buyers to your storefront. That can be a pretty low-return full-time occupation.

Once you have an audience, then you're going to struggle to understand what your buyers are looking at, where they are coming from, how many place your work in their cart but back-out for X reason. Your audience might be redirected to other artists on-site as well. Really you are better off having your own storefront with shopify or something. You could do a print-on-demand drop-ship type arrangement, but that's putting a lot of trust in a 3rd party to represent your product quality and customer service.

I like the idea of printing things myself until I know what the business looks like, and have enough clout to work with higher-end suppliers. It's an investment though, and a tough business to get a toe-hold.
