In addition to the First Amendment, journalists are protected by Fourth Amendment safeguards against unreasonable search and seizure.

Police should focus on serious lawbreakers, not reporters covering the DNC protests.

Hundreds of journalists are expected to converge on Chicago to cover the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19-22 – and they must be allowed to do their jobs unimpeded.

The city’s plan to “streamline” mass arrests during the convention, by processing arrestees at a makeshift court at the Area 3 police station at Belmont and Western, does nothing to alleviate the threat mass arrests pose to journalists. The plan, reported by the Sun-Times last week, is supposedly for the arrestees’ convenience: It’ll be easier for them to get home on public transportation that way.

I'd recommend https://privatebin.info, https://toptal.com/developers/hastebin, or https://rentry.co. All are open source and awesome replacement options. PrivateBin is a software package you download, while the other two are webapps.

Yep, the part you highlighted there is super spot on. Crazy to see the various fashions tech corps will implement to become embedded in governments. But seems as if China's approach is more reasonable than the US approach.

That'll make it so you're not bothered by banners anymore, so I'd say yes. I activate everything listed and then import others filters from filterlists.com. Here's a link which will let you add the Easylist Cookie Lists: https://filterlists.com/lists/easylist-cookie-list

I'd recommended adding EFF's Cookie Block List, which you can find here: https://filterlists.com/lists/eff-cookie-blocklist

uBlock doesn't block cookies directly but it can be setup to block the domains associated with cookies. Adding the EasyList Cookie will accomplish this. It will prevent websites from setting cookies when you visit them. As far as essential cookies go, I'd assume the Easylist blocks cookies which won't affect the websites function.

What about the MullVad browser? I'm really liking it so far, been using it as my daily driver for a bit now, it's rad!

The fuck!? I'm already late for work, I don't have time to Finish Him, or anyone! I got to get to the office!!

It's 100% a feature! Truly a horrendous approach to lock down a device someone purchased to the extent seen on Windows.

Linux can't prevent you from permanently removing files. While in Windows it's a chore to remove a number of files/bloat, which are then most often back after a system update.

Yep, @gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works knows what's up. PFAS are one group of forever chemicals. While 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) shares many characteristics with “forever chemicals” like PFAS, including persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, it belongs to a different chemical class (Persistent Organic Pollutants aka POPs). Nonetheless, its environmental and health impacts are significant, and efforts are needed to reduce its presence in the environment!

This is another reason to favor Beyond over Impossible! Additionally, Beyond has always been gluten-free while Impossible made their recipe gluten-free years down the road.

In part, according to one of the head researchers, “compared to prior studies that relied solely on epidemiological data, we integrated multiple layers of information, including epidemiological data, conventional metabolic biomarkers, and cutting-edge metabolomics”.

So in addition to finding the metadata, they also dug into the biomarkers present, which the molecular pathways are already known in detail. On top of this, metabolomics interpreted the chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule substrates, intermediates, and products of cell metabolism. Together, these aspects helped demonstrate the molecular consequences of ingesting animal products. The epidemiological layer assessed the incidence rate of developing T2D and then investigated how many involved the consumption of animal products for the individuals.

This being the case, it appears to be more than just correlation, as once the metadata was found, the team investigated the causation of the metadata's findings.

This is wild, TLR4 is associated with our immune system's identification of LPS, which is found in the outer layer of gram-negative bacterial cells. So why it's associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is mind-bending. For anyone interested in the TLR's found in the immune system, here you go:

It's well-known NF-kB is directly associated with NOD-Like-Receptors, which produces inflammation as an inflammasome. This is what allows immune cells to target the area in numbers. But the TLR4 involvement here is puzzling, would have 100% bet against its involvement in the immune response to SARS-CoV-2!

Edit: For clarity, S100 proteins are only found in vertebrates, and Heparan Sulfate is expressed by mammals on cell surfaces and in the surrounding extracellular matrix. HMGB1 works as a chromatin binding factor in our bodies. HSP60 + HSP70 (known as Heat Shock Proteins) are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and are a response to stressful conditions. They're basically chaperones and help control protein folding, transport, degradation, cell differentiation, and translocation. But viruses aren't prokaryotes, so the HSPs they're using during an infection are from the host. This helps show why I'm soo blown away with TLR4 being involved here!!
