Yes? Because trials would make the formulation less timely, and therefore less efficacious.

They've done this on the flu shot for YEARS.

Or are you implying that a reason for fast tracking must necessarily be nefarious?

Something doesn’t have to be necessarily true for it to have a high probability of being true.

A vast conspiracy theory involving tens of thousands of actors isn't possible.

Tens of thousands of people show up to bag groceries each day, doesn't make it a vast conspiracy. Some peoples job is to do bad science and shill for big pharma, go figure.

I am not a fan of Jack and am an outspoken skeptic of Elon, but I agreed heartily with the contents of the texts.

Yeah, people have died from licorice! I think you can have a few pieces a day without a problem. Just don't have a pack a day.

I love Dutch licorice, the less readable the label the better. I look for the stuff that is "zacht" & "zout" (salty and soft).

Salmiak licorice is incredibly good! It blows my mind that American black licorice doesn't have it. (I guess it's an acquired taste?)

Does anybody have any recommendations for candies to try? I love "Lakrisal" a lot!

I quite like the Swedish one Djungelvrål

I like the ones that are tiny, rock-hard pellets, and you can't keep them in your mouth long enough to dissolve, because they are so strong it hurts. Is there a name for those?

I’m not sure I’ve tried those. You’re not referring to Tyrkisk Peber are you?

Can't recall. Got them in Sweden. The name includes "lakrits", but that is on everything.

I think most Danes will agree that Lakrisal is fantastic!

Heya, Dutch person here. Pretty sure that the whole heart problems angle on licorice is at best overstated. I, and plenty of people I know, have occasionally eaten much more than a pack of licorice in a day and survived. I'm sure you probably shouldn't if you've already got heart issues, but otherwise dig in.

Wikipedia mentioned a guy who ate some 200 grams every day and got medical problems. A fifth of a kilogram every day is arguably a lot.

I easily consumed over a pack a day of liquorice without problems for a long time, and already had heart issues. My blood pressure when I stopped taking it didn't change a dim; medicines and diet helped, as did eating less salty/fat meals and reducing alcohol.

Well yes, 200 grams every day is different from a kilogram every now and then. I'm not saying that you can't get into trouble with licorice, you're just reasonably unlikely to, and the claim that "a few pieces a day" is the limit is just asinine.

Yet, a few pieces a day is plenty.

Thermal runaway is a contagious failure mode.

I'm surprised they don't use LiFePO4? Safer, vastly more charge cycles, and it's not like packaging is a big deal.

The next generation of Megapack uses LiFePO4, but older ones don't.

The settlement delay isn't there for technological reasons. People think they want instant! fast! until they lose their life savings because libertarian tech has no buffers.

I thought the settlement delay was so that the banks can squeeze out 72 more hours of interest.

No it is there for netting and clearing.

It's the latter, right? I can wire USD hundreds of thousands from my bank for $25, and the transaction takes place within an hour or two.

Google bought Neverware.

I guess it's "yay, filter bubbles" in 2022?

Well, it's more like individual curation vs corporate curation. It's not necessarily good for discoverability, but with filters like "remove top 1k sites" it can be.
