Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

When I worked at an AIDS project with a food pantry, we got donations of expired eggs directly from the farms, and I am here to tell you - a palette of eggs 6 weeks past their expiration can sit in an unrefrigerated (but cool) warehouse for another 2-3, get distributed, and still be reliably OK.

...So long as you know where the eggs came from and how long it'd been since they were washed, which is what starts the real timer.

I think in France you can't wash the eggs that are for sell directly

edit: yeah, found this info, and auto-translated :

Unwashed eggs protected by an invisible cuticle

In France and the European Union, Class A eggs sold in stores are neither washed nor disinfected. They retain a thin natural film—the cuticle—which seals the pores of the shell and limits bacterial entry. It is this "shield" that allows eggs to be kept at room temperature in stores.

In the United States, the approach is the opposite: eggs are cleaned and disinfected before sale. This washing removes the cuticle, leaving the shell more exposed and allowing germs to penetrate more easily. Consequently, refrigeration is mandatory throughout the supply chain there, from the farm to the refrigerated aisle.
