Yeah, see, nothing in my hands, or up my sleeves!

Charcoal isn’t as bad as wood, it creates less smoke and the most complex chemicals are already gone. Gas is better, since it burns much cleaner, and electric obviously doesn’t create any gasses at all.

On the other hand, grilling and smoking red meat means dripping fat, which means smoke, meaning you create a whole new set of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), which you breathe in and get stuck to the meat and those are carcinogens. On top of that, red meat is already not too great for you. Eating burned food (charring) is also really unhealthy.

But assuming you don’t spend every day breathing mostly bbq-smoke and gasses, I wouldn’t worry about this too much. If your main diet is home grilled beef over self-made charcoal, you definitely need to reevaluate your lifestyle choices though.

I work in hazardous materials handling and safety, and I studied chemistry. I’ve done a lot of soil remediation and I’m pretty up to date on how we (Europeans) handle the safety of our air, food and water.

So, good news: your air hasn’t been cleaner since basically we started burning coal. Your drinking water hasn’t been this safe since, oh, pre-agrarian times. Your food is probably less nutritious per gram thanks to faster growing food, but your diet is (potentially) better than any human has ever had (depending on your personal choices).

That said, there are some things I avoid like the plague:

• Swimming in open water. It’s (potentially) full of parasites, toxic algae, human and cattle feces and chemical runoff. Probably not all at once, but still. YMMV if you don’t live near the sea, mountain streams are much cleaner then those at the river delta.

• Home grown food from urban gardens. Your soil is probably completely untested, and the idea of “maybe I shouldn’t just pour chemical waste out of the window” is barely 4 decades old. And that’s counting the dubious quality of planter soil that is basically unregulated, and what people use as decoration. (Do NOT use wooden railroad ties or tires as planters for food). And of course what people use as pesticides isn’t exactly closely monitored either.

• Drinking water from wells, springs etc. see all the above.

• Ordering anything with wish/aliexpress that comes in contact with food. You know that stuff is completely unregulated, why the hell would you lick it? Nobody knows what it’s made of.

And there’s one thing I don’t avoid, but it’s super unhealthy: wood fires. Yeah, a hearth or a campfire is awesome, but the smoke is super fucking bad for you. The carcinogens are stronger and last longer than in cigarettes, and its a hell of a lot more of them. I lie to myself and say it’s worth it though, and that I don’t do it every day, and other bad excuses.

I can promise you it’s not nearly as bad as not taking your insulin.

I think you’re confusing volatile organic compounds like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and HFCFs with general aerosols. CFCs destroy the ozone layer, and are banned worldwide.

Aerosola are just droplets in a gas. Clouds are aerosols. They’re perfectly safe to use in general, assuming the droplets and the gas are safe.

You make clotted cream from milk? Doesn’t that take like a week? Don’t you usually start with some form of cream?

I mean, I made it once from double cream, but they don’t sell that here in the Netherlands, and it’s so not worth the time compared to just buying a jar of clotted cream.

More power to you though!

OP does that all the time. probably because theres something wrong with them

A one year contract, and when it’s over, an indeterminate extension.

What, is the government running low on funds?

Yes. Why do you think interest is at 20-something percent. Better to pay soldiers with other people’s money than to inflate your currency even more.

I’m assuming this was already a mobility kill? Not that the Russians wouldn’t just park an IFV in the middle of the road…

Edit: yep, it ran into a remote-placed mine, according to the Telegram channel.

It’s actually true.

For 1 euro, you can get either 95 Robux (22.5k for 240 euros), or 109 rubels.

And the robux will maintain their value a LOT better too

This missile is only “Intercontinental” if you launch it from the edge of a continent. It’s got about 6000km of range, which is a lot, but these are obviously meant for use in Europe. They were probably thinking of London and Paris when designing them though.

There was a LOT of hype that they never achieved too, and tons of content shown off in trailers and previews that never made the game.

The train was very much a playable area in previews, not in the game, taxis were shown, but also not in the game. The population density is much lower, and (of course) emergent npc behaviour (a random NPC actually going to a bar to play pool, or basketball, instead of just standing there. Robberies just occurring) isn’t nearly as amazing as promised. There were supposed to be more classes that never appeared, and the life path system was shown to be much bigger than just the three skill check options in dialogue that made it into the game.

Mostly, I believe that’s just players being super upset and hunting down every “broken promise” because the game was a buggy mess instead of the second coming.

And why exactly are we not reacting to this?!

Probably the thing about a lemy.ml admin doxing some random user some 25 times. Which is VERY not ok.

To set things straight: it’s not the Polish military, but people born in Poland who volunteered in Ukraine.

Jesus fuck, that’s basically stabbing range.

Turns out it wasn’t the distance that got him killed, but the job. Because this sure as shit wasn’t just a happy little accident.

On a somewhat lower pedestal: Eragon. What a hugely derivative poorly written piece of crap. I’ve run D&D campaigns with better dialogue and pacing than that.

It’s also FULL of errors

I wonder how Russia feels being on the other end of the proxy pipeline for a change.
