By the 1960s, over 7,000 studies linked cigarettes to disease. Big Tobacco's response? Fund their own "science," attack the researchers, and keep selling doubt for another 40 years.
Sound familiar?
Today's meat industry runs the same playbook, industry-funded studies, "the science isn't settled," lobbying against dietary guidelines.
The tobacco execs eventually testified before Congress. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. 🚬🥩

And so it begins!
FSD - a feature I paid for upfront when I bought my @Tesla has now been disabled for a week because, according to its data, I wasn’t paying attention enough.
Don’t get me wrong, this is still the best car I’ve ever owned. But I’ll always recommend keeping a reliable @Toyota on standby… just in case Judgement Day arrives.
@SelfApproved1@drinkonsaturday@claudeai I ordered a drain pump off eBay for $30. Funnily enough, it didn't end up being the drain pump, but a sock blocking the pipe to the drain pump.
@Kimmbca@drinkonsaturday@claudeai Yes of course. Sadly a lost art these days.
I'm middle-aged and out of 10 close friends, one other person would be considered "handy".
@WaldOs94716163@drinkonsaturday@claudeai I had this gut feeling it was gonna be a sock but ended up ordering a new drain pump off eBay anyway. It think it was only like $30 so now got a backup pump (incase it happens again).
No, that sock got binned. Sister is missing as well. Lol
This was during!
The issue was that the water wasn't draining towards the end of the cycle.
@claudeai said it was most likely the drain pump. I needed to take all this off to get to the pump.
Funnily enough, just before I took off the pump, I found a sock that was lodged in the pipe leading to the drain pump.
Took the sock out, put it all back together and its working perfectly.
@Andrew39904969@drinkonsaturday@claudeai Yes. Absolutely!
The joy of fixing it was very satisfying. The saving of that money was secondary but Im not going to say no to that savings.
Wow, sounds like you definitely did try. I think you made the call at the end. Sometimes it's best to cut your losses and just move on. Sorry it didn't work out for you, Andrew.
I would have done the same as well, but I ended up finding the problem and, on this particular occasion, had success. But it could have gone the other way.
@EAMiddleton69@drinkonsaturday@claudeai Legalities? Naaa... that's why you wire in a flux capacitor - 1.21 gigawatts of "don't ask questions" energy.
Just make sure it hits 88 mph before the protons start time-traveling through your drywall.
