Indian food uses loads of onions

There are quite a few more, most of the old British colonies in the Pacific and southern Africa, plus southeast Asia.

It has more viewers than any other legacy news station, it’s clearly in the mainstream.

Tucker Carlson is a genuine old school European Nazi type anti-Semite.

Haha what, 1.5 L of store brand soda water is roughly 30 US cents here, and I live in an expensive country.

Yeah, but the function isn’t always called stringify

If that’s the real price and the games are then also $25 cheaper, sure. They’re not giving you that money for free, the average consumer spends the same amount on the system+games either way. If they decide to use a misleading pricing strategy to manipulate people they don’t get to complain when people use products they bought differently to how they were intended.

So blame the dumb business plan?

sadly in fact they do though

Not sure every software engineer needs to know this. If they’d said web developer I suppose this would really be expected knowledge, but then you’d probably want to shoot them anyway.

Sorry but I doubt it. Brits are really not good at standing up for themselves. They are replacing it with an American style system, just a little bit at a time. In the last 30 years it’s come about half way, and it might take another couple decades to really finish the job, but I think it’s likely they’ll succeed in the end.

Ah, negging, classic

Yeah so if you’ve had two months of 35+ degree days and only a couple mm of rain it does nothing but soak up more heat. Like the above commenter said, there are probably places in a sweet spot for this, but it also wouldn’t work in many places. They even addressed your point about rain directly.

They’re making a reference to a famous Banksy piece depicting what they described…

If you’re a kid now, sure. Using that term if you’re older than 23 is definitely trying too hard.

A good rule of thumb is that if you made it in your home from real ingredients it’s probably much healthier than if some company did food science on it until it human testers said “yeah I’d love more of that one”.

That’s right, and exactly what I said. It’s a good rule of thumb. It’s not, however, a well defined scientific category. The reason the rule of thumb works is that if you cook something yourself from ingredients it’s probably got more fiber, more vitamins, less sugar, and less fat, than the commercial alternative. Not because it has fewer processing steps done to it.

Here is a good, scientifically informed overview of one popular ultra processed food categorization system and why it excludes good foods and includes poor ones: https://www.eatrightpro.org/news-center/practice-trends/examining-the-nova-food-classification-system-and-healthfulness-of-ultra-processed-foods

The same kind of thing applies to the other popular systems for defining it. It’s just not a good scientific category, we already know about all the components it’s a mediocre shorthand for.

When you actually look in to the details of papers on this topic you’ll find that it’s actually not defined consistently across the literature.

Ultra processed foods are foods made with industrial chemical ingredients either extracted from food or synthesized.

What are industrial chemical ingredients? For example, is sodium hydrogen carbonate one? It’s a chemical, produced industrially. Is food made with it in a shop different to food made with baking soda at home? Why?

When you dig into the reason why any specific “ultra processed” food is bad it boils down to:

• not enough fiber
• not enough vitamins and minerals
• too much salt
• too much sugar
• too much animal fat

And if you control for those things (which we have known for a long time and are standard nutritional guidelines) then the effects of food processing on health outcomes basically disappear.

you should eat non processed foods

It’s kinda true… But less than you’d think. I get that it can be a convenient shorthand, but even the scientific field of nutrition can’t agree on a good definition of processed foods, let alone ultra processed foods. As soon as you break it down to “you should eat a lot of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, and not too much sugar, meat, salt, or saturated fats” you actually remove any predictive power that the “ultra processed” label has, so we can understand this concept much better in terms of the basic nutritional guidelines which have changed very little over the last 50 years except for some better understanding of the role of unsaturated fats. Meanwhile, on the contrary, totally unprocessed raw milk, minimally processed beef fat etc., which are favourites of the MAHA crowd, are extremely unhealthy. So even there his advice is quite dangerous if you actually look in to it.
