How is this not an actual crime? The restaurants had the oil in collection containers to be a collected by someone they had an agreement with, and these people came around and stole it.

The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.

fsck almost certainly isn’t going to cause loss of data, but it will likely inform you about a loss that already occurred if that is the issue you are having.
explore_broaden@midwest.socialto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Can you safely heat people with microwaves?English11·9 months agoMy point is that the heat increase of the heart doesn’t have to be so insane. If someone was designing a microwave human heater they would have to make the power level such that it would always result in a safe rate of temperature increase. Obviously using an off the shelf food microwave wouldn’t work.
Is heating someone too quickly a concern if they don’t have hypothermia? Like if I’m sitting round in my house and start to feel cold, and I get in a hot bath, it’s not going to heat me up too fast, right?
explore_broaden@midwest.socialto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Can you safely heat people with microwaves?English21·9 months agoBut wouldn’t the microwaves also warm the heart? There’s no reason a microwave at the right power couldn’t slowly heat someone up. I don’t think the OP is asking about someone who is dangerously cold either, so the extreme care that needs to be taken when someone is in serious danger due to how cold they are might not be relevant in this case.
explore_broaden@midwest.socialto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Can you safely heat people with microwaves?English4·9 months agoMicrowaves don’t just heat water molecules, although due to density they absorb a large amount relative to many other substances. Also since humans are mostly water, the heating should be even enough to not be quite as problematic as you describe. Some sensitive areas like eyes are an issue, but otherwise it’s possible a low enough dose could warm someone a couple of degrees without causing any harm.

explore_broaden@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•How Psychedelic Research Got High on Its Own Supply1·9 months agoSeems like a reasonable headline in this case given the content of the article.
But the potential for researchers to bias the outcomes of these trials has become a common critique of the psychedelic research field. It is unusual for a drug under F.D.A. consideration to also be used personally and recreationally by the researchers studying it, or even for clinical trial researchers and clinicians to be encouraged to test the drug themselves. But that’s exactly what Lykos has done with MDMA.

explore_broaden@midwest.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK rice commonly contains arsenic, but most of it can be removed by boiling in water (4:1 ratio) for 5 minutes, and discarding that water before starting the regular cook cycle.3·9 months agoYes, thank you for the correction. I edited it.

explore_broaden@midwest.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK rice commonly contains arsenic, but most of it can be removed by boiling in water (4:1 ratio) for 5 minutes, and discarding that water before starting the regular cook cycle.10·9 months ago- This seems to mainly be a concern in places where a lot of rice is consumed and there is no legal limit for arsenic in rice (many parts of Asia), not necessarily in the US where there is an FDA limit and most people don’t eat rice every day.
- It saves time, water, and energy compared to other ways of reducing arsenic, like using the excess water method with large excesses of water. Parboiling in with 4 times the water by weight and then cooking in 2 times the water by weight uses less water than cooking once in 10-12 times the water by weight (half the water). Heating half as much water to boiling reduces energy use and time (assuming constant heating power in W from the stove). Of course it’s still slower than cooking rice using the absorption method common in many places (this is not necessarily how people in some countries cook rice).
They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.
