host of other chemicals also cause a wide range of health issues

It's mostly the tobacco causing health issues, not the wonderfully addictive nicotine. But yeah, it's a good thing that flavored cigarettes are banned.

Though it seems like big tobacco found a loophole on the first day, as you can still get menthol cigarettes in EU... it's just not as strongly minted as it was prior to the ban.

then you're going to have to do the math re: how much you're actually going to use

Sure, you're probably going to spray a couple seconds at the most, which would be like less than 30 kcal. Basically nothing that you'd really count, unless you're on a super-strict diet.

But the problem is that it's misleading. Uneducated shoppers might choose that brand specifically because "I'm on a diet", instead of buying a cheaper non-spray version. And/or proceed to put a ton on their food, without realizing avocado oil is almost 900kcal/100g.

"usually all have the same" isn't fully true either in my experience. Are you really going to eat just 1/3 of a candy bar? It says 100 calories in big letters, surely it'd be much healthier than the avocado oil bottle that says 120 calories per serving.

"Serving size" numbers are bullshit and should be banned.

pptx only came in late 2006/early 2007.

The picture is wrong. It has been banned in Norway since the 1980s, same as Sweden. Then in 2004, the EU messed up and approved it. When Sweden and some other countries made a storm, it got banned again in the EU 2007.

"I installed secret cameras in the women's changing rooms to catch shoplifters! Why are you arresting me?"

Classic enshittification of the kernel is kinda impossible while the Benevolent Dictator is around. And as for userland, we've already gone through many different enshittification attempts... Red Hat/CentOS, Poetterware, Snaps, etc... and we still survive.

Other than burnout and such, it's very hard to kill free software that's actively used by a lot of different enthusiasts.

Only >0,5% ABV is classified as an "alcoholic beverage" federally.

I guess there's also different levels of "skipping". If I was an American, I'd be skipping it unless I'm deathly suffering, whereas here I'd go if it's sufficiently debilitating.

It's common for cheaper hotels, at least in the US. They don't call it a deposit, but an extra hold they place on your card when checking in. Probably to deter people from doing dumb stuff like smoking in a smoke-free room.

Anti-fingerprinting is a fingerprint too.

The administration's Fiscal Year 2027 budget request for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) totals $118.39 billion

Yep, that $500 per day might start to hurt after couple thousand years.

Nah, I'd totally vote to convict someone breaking safety regulations by having their phone or other loose items out while the ride is in motion. Many innocent people have been injured by that.
