I can easily forgive the statement you highlighted, but there is zero information about potatoes in this one:
Along with wheat, maize and rice, they are estimated to account for up to 80% of all calories eaten by people worldwide.
If the GENIUS Act becomes the law, we're in for a FUBAR situation when a stablecoin issuer ends up insolvent. Even more concerning, if a bank custodian for a stablecoin issuer's reserves ends up insolvent, the claims of the stablecoin investors will come ahead of the bank depositors. That's right. Crypto comes ahead of ma-and-pa.

https://gosimplelab.com/ZM7S1O is my report. I found their UI/UX quite good, and very comparable to a 23andMe experience. Pleasantly surprised to say there were zero attempts at ongoing subscription upsells, reengagement, virality etc.
Since my collection was based on a plastic bottle, I doubt microplastics would be part of the report. However the same lab offers other tests with different collection containers and different assays.

since the back end testing and reporting is done through gosimplelab you might wish to look at their offerings more directly https://gosimplelab.com/solutions/pfas
I've used them and been happy with the report. Happy to share if requested.
my point was not about the existence of a bread ration it was about the drive for ever bigger boats to haul ever more capacity.
I was under the impression that cowardice in battle was sufficient.
It's more than natural selection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroporation enables gene transfer.
3.5 million pigs are slaughtered for food each day.
2 pig subjects "were sedated with an intramuscular injection of tiletamine and zolazepam (4–8 mg/kg of each, in equal amount), atropine (0.04 mg/kg) and buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg). They were then administered inhaled isoflurane, except during neurophysiological recording as noted below, and oxygen (2 L/min). These gases were applied first via snout mask and immediately afterwards via endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilatory support. General anesthesia was maintained throughout the rest of the life of the animals, including euthanasia."
That protocol was approved by some suitable committee, in accordance with the Animal Welfare Act and similar protocols. I think most people informed of the details and the purpose of the research would agree the benefits easily justify the cost of their sacrifice.

that seems like a super valuable domain being very under used.
I was a bioinformatician who worked on the Human Genome Project [ https://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol1_2/tpj0102-0001.html ]. I used perl daily for years. In ~2004(?) I attended a San Francisco Perl Mongers User Group meeting where Randal Schwartz confirmed that Perl6 would sufficiently break backwards compatibility that the CPAN would be started from scratch. I walked out of that meeting and said out loud "oh well, I guess it's time to switch to python".
I firmly believe that it wasn't specifically about the switch to perl6, it was about the loss of the cpan that broke the camel's back.
worth noting that MN National Guard seems to have replied to this specific video and say that it' is not them.

This doesn't quite disagree with your statement, but I'd like to ensure the correct officers are identified and disciplined.
“Unfortunately you had to stop the pollutive effects of 0 humans in the process, but their sacrifice is not in vain.“
Most of the statements there are reasonably well founded. The specifics of 'Turkey' may be a bit off, but broadly I'd agree with the comment you're replying to.

sad that it needs to exist, but good that it does.
Could you share info about the arcane process with me ( cariaso@gmail.com ) . I manage delivery to most sites with no issue, but hotmail nearly always ends up in spam, and I'd love to try and address this.
For the same reason Hemingway, Tolstoy and Faulkner write differently. The original text is only applicable when both are viewed positively. Your sentence applies when it's the less crappy of two options.
I believe you are correct about the Khmer Rouge period being the source of the bulk of the Cambodian problem, however the museum's collection was quite comprehensive. It's been too long since I visited (and it seems they have since been forced to relocate) for me to be certain of what if any of the collection covers US secret war period, but I'm certain that I saw American made mines in their collection.
My visit to this museum sticks with me to this day, and my desire to promote it is perhaps out of place on this specific topic.
I stand by all of my other links as being directly relevant.
True, but the comment I'm replying to says
I'd be interested to hear the author explain what "regular violations of nearby Laos and Cambodia" actually means.
The same bombing campaign hit both countries similarly. Laos seems to have been slightly worse off, but the concept applies to both countries. The information at the museum in Cambodia will broadly inform the Laos situation. Besides if there is a similar resource in Laos I'm unaware of it.
In case the author doesn't show up, I'll offer
"There were more than 580,000 bombing missions on Laos from 1964 to 1973 during the Vietnam War. That's equivalent to one bombing mission every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. Over two million tons of ordnance was dropped on the country, with up to 30 per cent failing to explode as designed."

More than 40 years after the war, one-third of the country is still contaminated by unexploded ordnance — an ongoing cost of war that affects the Lao people daily.

also a worthwhile visit http://www.cambodialandminemuseum.org/
There may be many other violations, but I think that's a credible start.
Stevens–Johnson syndrome seems to occur as a response to several different drugs, but apparently only to people with a specific HLA genotype. Part of the solution here is that currently we only approve a drug if it is safe for nearly 100% of the population, even if it is useful for far fewer (see statins) and the path forward needs to give more consideration of the differences in people, and having suitable genotyping a prerequisite for some medications.
Such as?
