So if “only” 50% of doctors report that their patients are falling like flies because of a drug…

Well, how essential is the drug? People need to eat, and killing weeds is part of making that happen. If we stop using one of our most effective and safe herbicides, there will be an impact to humans with increasing food prices, even more toxic herbicides, tilled farming (which releases CO2), or all three.

Do you want to tell poor/food insecure people they need to be even poorer and more food insecure because maybe some frogs have reproductive issues? This isn't a black and white issue, it's complicated with drawbacks on both sides. We need to make decisions based on solid evidence.

because that requires more money. why bother when you can just polish an old game and resell for the same price?

jesus. chill the fuck out.

We are talking about peer-reviewed papers from multiple countries, and an additional layer of scrutiny from this meta-analysis (the entire point of which was to identify bias in industry funded studies). It was funded directly by the government, and all authors were researchers employed by various universities. The likelihood a significant number of them have had faked funding that no one noticed is very low.

But no, your conspiracy theory with no evidence at all trumps any logic.

some yes, not all.

39 studies tested environmentally relevant concentrations of atrazine (11 industry sponsored, 24 non-industry sponsored, 4 with no funding disclosures). Non-industry sponsored studies (12/24, 50.0%) were more likely to conclude that atrazine was harmful compared to industry sponsored studies (2/11, 18.1%) (p value=0.07).

So even in the confirmed non-industry funded studies, only 50% found atrazine was harmful.

It seems there are issues with others replicating those results. US, Japanese, and Australian researchers.

This isn't a "Trump" thing, just business as usual. The US, Canada, and Australia all use atrazine and have been saying its benefits outweigh drawbacks for decades.

depends on the state/locality in the US. Since we pay for road maintenance with tax on gas (which EVs don't pay obviously), some places add an EV tax to make up for it. Problem is it's usually a flat tax that is higher than most people would pay via gas taxes.

well yeah, you also have to factor in maintenance and repairs.

lol only 20 years too late.

i felt exactly the opposite. it took the joy of exploration in an open world and made every step as tedious as possible. the challenge was walking not exploring.

and there was very little to discover other than… more packages to carry which made walking even harder.

the smartest move they ever did was iphone. that’s what caused them to start making their own silicone.

i mean, that’s part of it. but it has gotten worse recently for sure.

“fair” is often ascribed to pay as you go (and flat taxes) flat taxes, but they are both biased toward working people. Add road maintenance budget to progressive income tax and make rich people pay a bigger share. they can afford it.

i honestly don't know what you're talking about. server is a container on unraid and streams to various playback devices. no helpers or anything else required.

they just want people on the monthly/yearly subscriptions.

jellyfin streams HDR just fine for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I also have lifetime plexpass but plex has pissed me off too much with recent changes that make the experience worse. the enshittification is inevitable, so i just cut my losses and am riding the upswing of Jellyfin. It's objectively not as good yet but i have found some temporary workarounds for the biggest omissions.

Efficiency is a big deal in datacenters. Aside from the AI bubble, companies actually don't like lighting money on fire. More efficient hardware saves them lots of money; less hardware, less power, less datacenter space, less maintenance, fewer support contracts, fewer software licenses, etc etc.
