Crabsticks are usually several kinds of fish mashed together. I still eat them.

It's like when an Indian restaurant says it's a "meat" curry.
I know they mean lamb but I'd prefer the reassurance of it saying so.

Reply to Pregnant women and new mothers with schizophrenia are three times more likely to visit the emergency room as a result of being victims of interpersonal violence, a new study finds. About 1 in 5 (20.7%) women with schizophrenia experience physical or sexual violence during their lifetime. by MistWeaver80
Men who suffer from schizophrenia also experience violence on a much higher level.

Reply to comment by UterineTemple in Oral hygiene, mouthwash usage and cardiovascular mortality during 18.8 years of follow-up - oral hygiene self-care OHS was associated with a 51% reduction in the risk of CVD mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.49 [0.28-0.85]; p = 0.01). by Meatrition
I think there’s more to it than that. Very bad dental hygiene has a risk of endocarditis. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream through damaged mucosa in the mouth and colonize heart valves. I’ve seen it proposed for years now that this happening to a lesser extent can contribute to systemic inflammation that contributes to cardiovascular disease.
Edit: Also the study found mouthwash itself doesn’t do a damn thing.

For me it's an indicator ur trying to stand out with your name/branding becuase the product itself doesn't stand out on its own.

Reply to Ice Age Survivors. Study focuses on the people who lived between 35,000 and 5,000 years ago and that are, at least partially, the ancestors of the present-day population of Western Eurasia, including – for the first time – the genomes of people who lived during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) by Wagamaga
Surprisingly, the research team found that populations from different regions associated with the Gravettian culture, which was widespread across the European continent between 32,000 and 24,000 years ago, were not closely related to each other. They were linked by a common archaeological culture: they used similar weapons and produced similar portable art. Genetically, however, the populations from western and southwestern Europe (today's France and Iberia) differed from contemporaneous populations from central and southern Europe (today's Czech Republic and Italy).
Furthermore, the gene pool of the western Gravettian populations is found continuously for at least 20,000 years: their descendants who are associated with the Solutrean and Magdalenian cultures stayed in southwestern Europe during the coldest period of the last Ice Age (between 25,000 and 19,000 years ago) and later spread north-eastward to the rest of Europe. "With these findings, we can for the first time directly support the hypothesis that during the Last Glacial Maximum people found refuge in the climatically more favourable region of southwestern Europe" says first author Cosimo Posth.
The Italian peninsula was previously considered to be another climatic refugium for humans during the LGM. However, the research team found no evidence for this, on the contrary: hunter-gatherer populations associated with the Gravettian culture and living in central and southern Europe are no longer genetically detectable after the LGM. People with a new gene pool settled in these areas, instead. "We find that individuals associated with a later culture, the Epigravettian, are genetically distinct from the area‘s previous inhabitants," says co-author He Yu. "Presumably, these people came from the Balkans, arrived first in northern Italy around the time of the glacial maximum and spread all the way south to Sicily."

Reply to Patient with prostate cancer developed an ‘uncontrollable’ Irish accent, showing symptoms consistent with foreign accent syndrome — likely due to his immune system attacking his nervous system by marketrent
Obviously, Irish accent is a symptom of brain damage. Various reasons, but usually too much drinking.

Purposely misspelt names seem more American to me (Australian) and more dishonest.

I always associate those unconventional spellings as cheap knockoffs, like Suny for Sony or whatever. And this was before the days of Amazon and the flood of drop-shipped items that play with english words.

I’m guessing it only does it to the extent that your brain knows it.
Also your brain probably knows what a frock is as you have likely heard it or read it in same way. Your conscience mind may not think or remember it, but your brain might still have that knowledge locked up somewhere.

Reply to New research analyses fake interaction services on social media. Researchers found that for less than 9 cents you can get 1000 views on TikTok, SoundCloud or Instagram/IGTV. Buying Instagram followers is more expensive: for 4.3 euros you can get 1000. by Wagamaga
Okay so did anyone do the math to get rich from this yet? Like buy 100000 followers, get Ads/Brand deal, break even after X months, etc..

I thought mouthwash was allegedly a marketing scheme (halitosis) but is it a legit part of a good oral hygiene routine? I brush 2-3x a day and floss daily and drink lots of water. Should mouthwash be integrated into this routine? Also wondering as I have two young kids and want to get them on the right track.
