France’s health minister, Stéphanie Rist, said on Tuesday that while it wasn’t currently clear whether the hantavirus strain involved in the outbreak may have mutated, officials were “rather reassured”.

Rist told the National Assembly: “There are things … we do not know about this virus. We do not yet have the complete sequencing of the virus, which allows us to say with certainty today, even if we are rather reassured to date … that this virus has not yet mutated.”

“We should take Munich, and push it somewhere else!”

Dude, it’s like five things – one of which is just translations that can be performed locally, and another of which is an alt text accessibility option – with an obvious universal kill switch (and of course individualized ones). Calm your tits. Chill your balls. I don’t use LLMs at all except for translations, and I still think the whinging over this is completely overblown.

“Begun” implies a slippery slope of much more, and that just doesn’t seem to be the case.

If you’d actually read the article instead of jumping straight from the headline to the funny quip you thought of:

Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

This doesn’t sound like a discrimination thing; she literally described a cough that went away days ago and an anxiety she was feeling.

Here’s the study in Minerals. I’ll caution that it’s an MDPI journal, but it’s better than Earth.com’s content mill dogshit.

How the shit is this supposed to be “programmer humor”? Comms really do return to the lowest common denominator if they aren’t actively moderated for relevance; jesus christ.

I’ve licensed some stuff under CC0 in the past since it makes it no-friction for individuals, but “embrace, extend, extinguish” is beyond trivialized with licenses like CC0. Licenses like the GPLv3 and CC BY-SA at least maintain some responsibility that corporate actors legally need to meet; they are, to me, better in cases of individuals publishing works, and I see licenses like MIT as basically scabbing the FOSS ecosystem in favor of letting corporations do whatever they want. (I moreso agree with public domain for things like government works.)

Sure thing, OP. Good luck with that. I’m glad you’ve wisely decided, as normal whistleblowers do, to create a Lemmy account yesterday called “ElonMuskLovesIsrael” so you can shitpost about how you hate American liberals between bouts of publicly agonizing over whether to blow the whistle on nondescript crimes of the US federal government.

OP, are you baiting upvotes, or are you experiencing some sort of problem with mental illness? The latter is meant to be a sincere question.

I wonder if all great cooks “feel it out” or if that’s just something I tell myself to help my disorganized ass sleep at night.

Do you mean that sales were poor? If not, and you mean that literally, then they did – about 25,000 units, making it a commercial failure, but nevertheless “brought”.

Cohen added that eBay’s earnings power could increase materially under tighter cost controls, arguing earnings could potentially double over a relatively short period.

Okay, yeah, he’s fucking delusional.

(Also, ‘GameStop stock sinks’ feels like a mild tongue twister.)

How dignified and refined. Exquisite.

Controlled opposition would be my guess. Snatch up a dead but recognizable trademark on the cheap, then bleed off revenue from struggling plant-based meat companies before, if successful enough, eventually enshittifying the industry whose income to you is tertiary at best. The vegans/vegetarians will still buy it because they “have” to, while everyone else will be driven back into the arms of meat which is at least marginally subsized by your small but overpriced plant-based market segment. Also helps to keep it around not as an active pivot but in case the animal market goes belly-up and you need a foothold in the plant-based one.

I think that’s increasingly extrapolated, but generally, “controlled opposition” seems like the most obvious reason to me.

It turned out that, in January, ownership of the Yves trademark had been transferred from its former owner, Hain Celestial Canada, to Maple Leaf Foods, a major Canadian meat producer.

Now, we can officially confirm the news: Yves Veggie Cuisine has been resurrected.

That’s an interesting way of saying “in the hands of a meat company”. Honestly, sometimes I’m not sure with eating at fast food places, but then I consider that even at regular sit-down restaurants, I’m usually still paying companies that serve meat. With this, though? It’s expressly funding a company whose near-only job is to kill animals. I don’t think I’d consider buying it vegan anymore – just plant-based. I’m not imposing that as a moderator; just stating my personal opinion as a user.

Sorry to say that I did look at ResearchGate before posting and did find this. However, this is a “Request full-text” entry, meaning you need an account to message the authors about why you would like to access it and hope they accept your request.

I still appreciate you trying to help.

Surprisingly, that isn’t all the article talks about. For example: “it is interesting to note that plant stem cells and their immediate progeny are hypersensitive to DNA damage and undergo programmed cell death that, as proposed in animals, might be used as a mechanism to prevent accumulation of mutations in stem cell populations.” It cites this open-access article from PNAS.

It notes, as you said, that metastasis is functionally impossible.
