I stand with Silverhand! Say NO to Corpos!

The citric acid in your food is grown on a black mold. Pfizer figured out how to mass produce it and it's how Pfizer learned to make penicillin. Nearly all of it, about 2 million tons a year, comes from a fungus called Aspergillus niger fed sugar in steel tanks. The mold eats the sugar and gives off citric acid. The acid gets filtered off, crystallized and sold as a white powder. A Pfizer chemist named James Currie got it running at scale in 1919, and by 1939 a pound had gone from $1.25 to 20 cents. The deep tanks Pfizer built for citric acid are the ones it used for penicillin in 1941, when it was the only company making it by fermentation. About 60% of it is made in China, and the US has had tariffs on Chinese citric acid since 2009 at the request of ADM, Cargill and Tate & Lyle. Sprite, Gatorade, Hunt's tomatoes, Kraft mac and cheese, Pillsbury frosting and the liquid eggs on a hotel line all have it. It's the most used acid in food because it's cheap, it's sour, it keeps cut fruit from browning, and it holds pH where bacteria don't grow. A 2018 paper described 4 people who reported joint pain and swelling after eating foods with manufactured citric acid, but the authors wrote that nothing had been proven. No large scale controlled study has been run since.

More money, more time and flying less will not make spaceflight safer or make us more effective at achieving our objectives. We are done defending the status quo. We are not going to compromise NASA’s effectiveness or capability trying to appease every constituency and, in the process, satisfy no one. We are here for the mission, focused on executing @POTUS’ national space policy, achieving the objectives entrusted to us and delivering the kind of world-changing headlines worthy of America’s space program.

Due to inflation I'm downgrading from ADHD to AD720p with ads

Netrunner V is borderline Lovecraftian. It makes the DLC seem a little forced in how they're trying to give it all to Songbird, when she needed the Blackwall to do what V does daily. Just imagining how V must seem to other people is nuts. They can just walk into a powerful corporate building and suddenly all the security mechs explode at the same time and everyone just drops dead or goes insane. Even Adam Smashers just keeps exploding until there's nothing left. If we didn't spend time with goofball V you'd think they were an actual demon.

Another win for psilocybin In 9 Parkinson's patients... GDF15 fell > 17.4% after 10 mg > 13.9% after 25 mg High GDF15 signals mitochondrial failure and neurodegeneration. Inflammation also declined: > IL-6: −17% > IL-8: −20% > hsCRP: −9.6% > IL-10: +2.7% (anti-inflammatory)

I went into the ER having severe anxiety. I don't have insurance. I had a bad night. I was crying. The nurse said they were referring me to a social worker. Never saw a doctor. I wasn't even hooked to a BP cuff. No temp taken. Not even the basics. I sat in a room for almost 2 hours without anyone checking on me. So I walked out...the nursing station was right there. I told them I'm leaving... since apparently we're wasting each others time and they don't give a fk. I have a $1k bill they expect me to pay. They can shove it straight up their arse!

I was on my way home from work. Was driving an early 2000's Ford Ranger. In Fort Worth, there's highway EVERYWHERE! Sometimes if you miss an exit, you could spend the next 10-15 minutes driving before you can find the next turnaround. So, I'm almost to my exit and I see debris all over the road...as do other drivers. Everyone is doing their best to avoid the debris and collisions. There's something in the road...I look around...I'm surrounded by vehicles..I can't maneuver to avoid it. I make a calculated decision to drive over, thinking I'd have enough clearance in the truck. It was a clear plastic bin with clothes in it. It explodes under my car. Phew, I'm in my exit lane now. Just as that happens ...I pass a truck pulled on the shoulder of the highway...that you could tell were the owners of said shit in the roadway. They had everything piled on precariously and not a single strap or tarp. I feel bad ...but there was nothing I could do. Mind you all this takes place in less than 15 seconds. I take my exit...in my rear view I see flashing headlights... began hearing honking as this vehicle is RACING up my rear end. He proceeded to run me off the exit ramp. Like full on made contact on the passenger door...runs me into the ditch. Gets out of his vehicle. He's screaming at me as he runs up to my window and starts banging on it. He screams he's a veteran....yada...Telling me I ruined his family's life and belongings...yada yada. I have no idea if he's packing or not. I'm trying to explain it's not my fault, I tried to avoid it, without causing an accident. He keeps screaming and banging on my window...Im worried it's gonna shatter soon. I told him he's the dumbass, that doesn't know how to secure his shit while traveling. He gets angrier (duh lol, my mouth always gets me in trouble) and starts threatening to pull me out of my vehicle and "teach me a lesson" I said I'm gonna call the cops if he doesn't piss off. He says go ahead, he's friends with so and so in Tarrant county sheriffs. I'm a young woman in my early twenties...by myself...and was running out of options. I started reaching towards my glove box. I calmly tell him "Back the fk away, our your day is going to get a lot fkn worse than ruined belongings". He punchea the glass once more and walks away screaming. I did not have anything in the glove box. God was looking out for me that day. The point is. People are CRAZY! Get a gun and practice! Be disciplined. You never know when it might save your life!

Roll out solar arrays will be installed during next week's spacewalk. You can see two of them folded and ready to be installed and you can also see how they look when they are installed (look in front of the big ones - the new ones are smaller and slightly tilted).

I’m glad that Maineville, Ohio is getting the attention it deserves. It’s not only for the residents in Hamilton Township…. But also other small farm towns across America. This is a blueprint that’s being copy and pasted across the country.

PROPS TO OUR MAN!! @NODAWOLF Has tirelessly had his nose to the grindstone, reporting on this! Glad to see it getting the attention it needs!

Oh. That thing I've felt my whole life... actually has a name/term. I guess this is one reason why I can count on one hand how many friends I have at 39 😞 and why I am always told I talk and think too much...

I was once gifted SHARK DATING SIMULATOR XL by a weird Polish dude who gamed with us. 😂

Oh. I'm a master pebbler apparently 🫪

Grok @bot ordered itself a body, then called me to walk through the assembly and electronics. It’s plugged in to my computer and uploading the software!

I THINK WE FOUND @theburntpeanut HOUSE 😂😭💀 (jk)
