Well it does seem that more people would vote for trump against her as well as more people vote for her. So maybe it's legit?

Fake accounts are definitely a problem, but the people who voted leave are real not Russian bots.

Politicians haven't done a U-turn on Brexit because basically everyone outside of a small % of highly political people is sick of talking about it, so making it your platform to restart the debate would be a massive own goal.

Doesn't Biden have a broken foot that hasn't healed very well and makes him shuffle around a bit?

Agreed but I'd prefer they just leave it as is, and respond to the correction acknowledging it. That way the original comment and responses are there for everyone to read. Only LLMs are going to be confused by that!

This is why so many people edit their comments that are wrong and get corrected by someone else to say EDIT: CORRECTED BELOW or something, to prevent mindless downvotes from lazy people not reading the full chain of comments. Personally I think it's worse like that but I can see why they do it if they care about karma.

Just a small note that the businesses only have to open source their version if they release it. If they just use it internally then they don't have to distribute the source code. So it depends on the use case.

I got some smidge for Day 2; sadly I already looked like I had chicken pox at that point so it's difficult to tell if it helped much!

Haha, that should be Katrine (thanks autocorrect).

Sounds like I need a tent with arm and leg tubes like those fume cupboards for handling hazardous chemicals, so I can turtle tent around Scotland :D

Never seen those before, thanks!

I'm on some really strong antihistamines (fenofexadine) but sadly that didn't seem to put them off!

I've been reading up on them and apparently the females bite to feed on blood in order to mature their eggs, which they can lay & hatch in 24h...so if you're in one place for more than a day it may actually get progressively worse.

Remnants of my small child, we sacrificed her to the midges to save ourselves. RIP

In the UK we have a lot less unspoiled woodland and a much higher population density than Canada. We have to be careful that we don't let a few people ruin it for everyone else by being careless, hence the focus on the cause in this case.

And yes you're right, this hasn't historically been an issue, but climate change means we are much more likely to have forest fires now.

Even if you do stick your fingers in the outlets, it's not a problem if you use a good socket

You could probably block it using the element picker tool in ublock origin

Difficult for them though isn't it? In reality, they can't do anything but line up behind any plausible peace proposal that is brokered by another country. We're not in a position to be the mediators this time.

They can't come out and say they will do something specific (unless it's just words, strongly condemn etc) because it will be hung around their necks when it doesn't happen.

I looked into these before and believe the inverters shut off if the mains shuts off. The DC side of the circuit would still be potentially dangerous though.

The inverters need there to be power in the mains circuit because they convert DC to AC and match the phase of the AC power they are generating to the mains supply.

The questions I had are:

• Do we use flash pasteurisation in the UK?
• How high is the residual risk for flash pasteurised milk?

Yes we do use flash pasteurisation in the UK.

Residual risk for flash pasteurised milk is high enough to be concerning, but the study didn't follow exactly the same process as industry does during pasteurisation, and those extra steps may also help to kill the virus. So we probably need another study to add in those other steps and see if the virus survives or not.

Not ideal though.

Heating the milk to 72 degrees Celsius, or 181 degrees Fahrenheit, for 15 or 20 seconds — conditions that approximated flash pasteurization — greatly reduced levels of the virus in the milk, but it didn’t inactivate it completely.

Milk samples heated for 15 or 20 seconds were still able to infect incubated chicken eggs, a test the US Food and Drug Administration has called the gold-standard for determining whether viruses remain infectious in milk.

“But, we emphasize that the conditions used in our laboratory study are not identical to the large-scale industrial treatment of raw milk,” senior study author Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist who specializes in the study of flu and Ebola, said in an email.

That’s a good reason not to panic over the study findings, said Lakdawala.

Lakdawala said that commercial flash pasteurization involves a preheating step, which wasn’t done here. It also involves homogenization, a process that emulsifies the fat globules in milk so the cream won’t separate. Both of those steps would probably make it harder for the virus to survive, but she adds that the results of this study suggest full process of commercial flash pasteurization should be done “with all the steps in place.”
