In Superman III, the eponymous man straightens the leaning tower of Pisa, and in Superman II he spins the earth backwards to reverse time.
A better idea would be to un-tilt the earth’s axis, thus getting rid of variable day lengths, annual seasons, the need for DST etc, just one enjoyable spring day, every where, all year round.
> Yurchick was one of 21 people that had been indicted for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute kilogram quantities of methamphetamine in Texas and elsewhere from August 2019 to March 2021 … Yurchick subsequently pleaded guilty to that charge on February 1, 2022
The survey could say, “given that the existence of corporate monopolies demonstrates weak and non functional governments, should governments a) cede more power to the monopolies, or b) pretend to claw power back from the monopolies?”
A “ministry of truth” would (I assume) be a part of the executive branch of government.
Whereas the creation of laws and the interpretation of laws are powers that the executive branch does not have, and are held separately by the legislative and judicial branches.
In a, well, y’know “functioning” democracy. Apparently.
“Less than 0.5% of all meat samples tested in 2018 contained
detectable antibiotics (U.S. Residue Program). Farmers, processors, and regulatory agencies work together to get this number to zero.”
Please challenge the thoughts you carry around. Sometimes it’s isn’t so.
Perhaps they meant to suggest that factory farms are overusing antibiotics, rather than the antibiotics remain in the meat we consume?
Anecdotally, I’ve heard plenty of concern (from the public) that the latter could breed resistant bacteria, but never even heard of your interpretation as a concern.
That was it. I chose a colorful turn of phrase that muddied the meaning. I can do that, sometimes. I’m too fond of my own sense of humor.
My understanding, is that antibiotics are used in the living animals. I’m sure that they do show up in butchered meats, but I don’t think that they would stay valid through cooking.
Sounds like the overuse of antibiotics in animals we slaughter was noted and regulated against, according to the document you linked:
> Did you know? As of January 1, 2017, Federal guidelines require a veterinarian to write the prescription or order when
antibiotics important to human health will be used in feed or water
of livestock and poultry. Why is this important? As in health care, professionals in veterinary medicine must identify where antibiotic use practices can be
improved. Eliminating unnecessary antibiotic use is an important part of
antibiotic stewardship.
Anyway, I took GP's comment to refer to the overuse of antibiotics in animals we slaughter and not the amount of antibiotics still detectable in the meat. As of 2015 at least that was still a problem and had an impact on resistant bacteria.
> Of all antibiotics sold in the United States, approximately 80% are sold for use in animal agriculture; about 70% of these are “medically important” (i.e., from classes important to human medicine).2 Antibiotics are administered to animals in feed to marginally improve growth rates and to prevent infections, a practice projected to increase dramatically worldwide over the next 15 years.3 There is growing evidence that antibiotic resistance in humans is promoted by the widespread use of nontherapeutic antibiotics in animals. Resistant bacteria are transmitted to humans through direct contact with animals, by exposure to animal manure, through consumption of undercooked meat, and through contact with uncooked meat or surfaces meat has touched.
Recently I had the screen replaced on my child’s iPad. The tech asked for passcode, and I refused to provide it. The tech complained and said when I came to pick it up he’d need to guide me through some things.
Indeed, there were some settings that needed to be set, to ”help” the new screen.
Having said that — I’ve previously documented a case (well over 10 years ago) where I caught a local PC repair company who used their access to a machine of mine they were repairing - to quickly scan through the thumbnails of our personal photos, and look closer at any image which showed any flesh.
People expect to be trusted but don’t act in a trustworthy manner.
