I didn't remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn ~~rock music~~, ~~mini skirts~~, ~~Doom game~~, ~~horror movie~~ for all the bad things that are happening.

Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy

Impressive to watch, but shouldn't friendly infantry be in support?

People demanding that "thou shalt not commit adultery" be displayed in school, but have no qualms voting for a convicted adulterer. (Well convicted of lying about paying to try and cover up adultery) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York

I guess "thou shall not steal" and "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" aren't really a problem either ...

I'm pretty sure they did.

However, the effect of vitamin and mineral supplements on the risk of non-communicable diseases in “generally healthy” populations is controversial. We examine patterns of supplement use and the evidence on their effects from randomised trials.

to date, randomised trials have largely shown no benefit of vitamin, mineral, and fish oil supplements on the risk of major non-communicable diseases in people without clinical nutritional deficiency. These results contrast with findings from observational studies, where supplemental nutrient intakes are often associated with a reduced risk of these diseases. The apparent associations from observational studies may result from unknown or unmeasured confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors, including a better overall diet

Their use as general ‘pick-me-ups’ is of unproven value and, in the case of preparations containing vitamin A or D, may actually be harmful if patients take more than the prescribed dose.

As previously stated there is evidence for and against.

In conclusion, multivitamins were found to enhance immediate free recall memory but no other cognitive domains.

Neuhouser et al (14) recently provided an excellent summary of observational and clinical trial data on dietary supplements in relation to cancer. For MVM supplements, case-control studies of cancer at various sites (eg, colon, esophagus, stomach, oropharynx, breast, cervix, bladder, prostate, and skin) suggested that benefits may exceed risks. Corresponding cohort study results, however, were mostly consistent with no association

Conclusion In this large prevention trial of male physicians, daily multivitamin supplementation modestly but significantly reduced the risk of total cancer.

I was highlighting the fact that there's evidence for both answers

While beneficial to consumers who are able to take advantage, for example by charging an electric car or running appliances, it also threatens to undermine the viability of Europe's renewable energy projects, which are critical to hitting net zero targets.

"It's akin to a hara-kiri," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at Swedish lender SEB "Everyone knows that if you produce too much oil, the price will crash and producers lose money. And there's nothing different in renewable energy and power either."

I almost can't believe the absolute shitiness of this. I suppose the implication is why would producers build power stations (no doubt with govt. subsidises!) if they can't make a profit!

 

The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

 

I personally have a huge backlog of games I'm happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky ..), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)

But according to this rather clickbate article ...

In the last month alone, we’ve seen three disappointing examples of games that are too demanding for the Deck. Star Wars Outlaws is unplayable on Low settings, even with FSR set to “Ultra Performance.” Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 can’t reach a steady 30fps at the lowest quality setting. And based on the demo, Final Fantasy 16 is unplayable without FSR and Frame Generation, and afflicted with stuttering and horrible frame pacing with those scaling features enabled.

I'm not sure I remember the part where Indy is buried chest deep in sand with one fist defiantly raised ... It looks more like a character model glitched under the map!
