Though at this point, it looks like Trump will get the nomination with no real competition from DeSantis or anyone else, regardless of going to jail.

Trump fleeing and some states striking him from the ballot will enrage his supporters and make them not vote for who the actual nominee is.

I think the fleeing outcome harms the Republican chances more.

I mean, him running away to Russia would split Republicans even more. He'd still have his dedicated followers, but it would cause even more of a fight regarding DeSantis and others.

I'm trying to decide which would be more chaotically beneficial for the rest of us, him going to jail or fleeing.

There have been dozens of studies over multiple decades looking into aspartame and have found it isn't carcinogenic. One Coke-funded study one way or the other doesn't change the massive body of research.

That's still just a self-control issue on your caloric intake regardless.

Okay, corruption like that should be corrected. Regardless, there's no scientific evidence that aspartame is harmful. Let alone a biochemical reason for why a dipeptide of two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, that dissociates in the stomach into its constituent components and some byproducts would be harmful in the first place.

Unless you have phenylketonuria, but you have much bigger problems in that case and, if that is the case for you, kudos on being at an age and capability to read and understand this post, you are incredible.

Edit: Also, just noticed the part about US Right To Know, which is a well known anti-science group that's been pushing pseudoscience and fearmongering about other topics, such as biotechnology, for years. So them being involved here raises questions.

Um, paint pouring is a long-standing art form, so...not sure you're making a defensible argument here.

The block "feature" is a required tool for being listed on the Google and Apple stores, among others.

Removing it will get Twitter delisted from them as well.

I'm glad she was caught and is being properly charged for her crimes.

Too many people have copies of the full database at this point for such a thing to mean much. And there's too many other versions that have been produced since to matter either.

I left months ago and have been doing my science communication on Mastodon since then. Sure, it sucks having to start over on a new platform, but I had already been doing that since leaving Facebook anyways.

My immediate question is: what warrant in the first place?

I thought the county records office said no warrant or other reports from the magistrate had been filed there, meaning everything done by the police and others was illegal.

I always work on new articles in my userspace before putting it out into the main article area. Since you're much more likely to run into conflict if you're putting out an article with a couple of sentences and one source, even if you're planning on expanding it, than if you move a more fully formed article into the mainspace all at once.
