Back when tattoos were rarer, they used to be a thing for guys.

Now that tattoos are common, it's actually more common for women to have them.

The numbers have gotten so bad that now nearly half of young women have tattoos:

one thing that sux about the west coast is when you need login verification codes for movie night from someone in the midwest/east coast.

we can’t get those codes at night bc they’re sleeping or i’d be rude to ask.

east coast doesn’t have this problem.

It’s crazy that outrage online happens ~twice a week in the WNBA.

The WNBA is either too corrupt and lost to not rant about OR they are legendary at creating headlines.

At this point, probably the later, or both.

…. I know way too much about this league that pretty much nobody watches.

In general this is correct. What happened today specifically isn’t a salary cap issue - at least not directly. But the Dodgers can give up prospects and know they can replace them in the future with high priced free agents. The Brewers have to have cheap prospects under team control. It’s all still connected.

@TheFestiveOwl Tag the event team or “the event team is aware” isn’t real.

We’re now 8 hours in and at a complete standstill at 12:07am. @Griz help us

Seattle instituted a minimum wage for gig (Uber/Lyft) drivers

Earnings rose for one month, but went back to normal immediately

After the first month, drivers weren't earning more because customers were ordering and tipping less

The law hurt customers without helping drivers!

@NBATV @ShamsCharania @grok how does this impact the money the bucks owe to Dame over the next 5 years?

@CollinRugg Well, that’s his fault for not bending his knees

@NFL_DovKleiman I bet he’s great at FF. I’m skeptical, but televised tryouts should be had. If he makes it by merit and he’s playing with NFL players at the Olympics, that’d be an all time great story!!

Ruining my buttered chicken takeout.

"Our protocol was straightforward: we'd order two of the exact same dish, send one straight to the lab for testing, and let the other sit in its takeout container for 45 minutes before testing (simulating a typical delivery or drive home time). These dishes were quite hot: in these pictures, the sample in the plate was 125.4F, and the sample in the takeout container was 168.2F which cooled down to 133.5F when we collected it 45 minutes later. Three days of collection gave us six complete meal comparisons.

The results were striking – food that spent 45 minutes in the takeout containers showed 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals overall compared to the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant. The increase wasn't uniform across all chemical types: phthalate substitutes showed the biggest jump at 40%, while phthalates increased by a more modest 15%."

We did it! We tested 300 Bay Area foods for plastic chemicals. We found some interesting surprises.

Top 5 findings in our test results:

1. Our tests found plastic chemicals in 86% of all foods, with phthalates in 73% of the tested products and bisphenols in 22%. It's everywhere.

2. We detected phthalates in most baby foods and prenatal vitamins.

3. Hot foods which spend 45 minutes in takeout containers have 34% higher levels of plastic chemicals than the same dishes tested directly from the restaurant.

4. The 1950s Army rations we tested contained surprisingly high levels of plastic chemicals.

5. Almost every single one of the foods we tested are within both US FDA and EU EFSA regulations.

Check out our full results below.

In Rome right now— this has to be one of the great tree-cities in Europe. Middle of the pack in amount, but great diversity, and they all seem old and perfectly placed.

Previously in Vienna. Lovely in many way, but has to be the among the worst tree cities.

Trees completely change the vibe of a city.
