a pope is an emergent phenomenon produced by a given set of cardinal coordinates

so this is what arguing something like being seven means.

indeed. though the self-congratulatory types, who – after having shat themselves from the joy of shedding one of the cognitive biases – decide to divide people between leaders and sheeps, always counting themselves into the first group, have not only an opinion like an arsehole, they are also enough of arses to have both cheeks.

the exvangelical atheists are really annoying, you know.

the fomo is very strong in this one, but also it lacks substance entirely

specifically, compare your wording with the specific wording from the regulation:

Maximum levels

Food with levels of contaminants higher than those specified in Annex I to the regulation may not be sold. These maximum levels cover the edible part of food and also apply to compound, processed, dried or diluted foods, taking into account the appropriate processing factors.

The regulation also lays down the lowest maximum levels for contaminants that are reasonably achievable with good manufacturing practice or good agricultural practice (i.e. ‘as low as reasonably achievable’).

Ban on mixing

Foods complying with the maximum limits may not be mixed with other foods that exceed these limits.

Foods that must be sorted or subjected to other physical treatments to reduce the level of contamination may not be mixed with foods intended for direct human consumption or use as an ingredient in food.

there’s no reason for your blatant fearmongering.

you will note that your summary of the regulation is quite disingenuous. establishing the maximum level of contaminants is not an approval, specifically your claim that every step of the supply chain is allowed up to a certain percent of contaminant and as long as nobody notices its “ok” is an obvious malinterpretation.

(this is not how food safety regulations work here.)

you’re an american, aren’t you?

sigh.

the marginalia dude is a bit of both-sideist, though it could’ve been worse (his second reply in the thread clarifies things a bit). and frankly, most of the alternative search engines developers are worse.

i’m so sorry.

she’s great, isn’t she?

they also have a blog where they blog about how unfair are the anti-ai terrible people and. among other things, why the luddites were the terrible, no good, absolutely not worthy of interest reactionary bunch who got what they deserved.

gyges went off the deep end quite some time ago, up to and including support for a crypto/ai grifter’s “dystopiabreaker” claims that not falling with the autoconfabulator crowd is basically being anti-vaccine.

there’s nothing centrist about him, along the lovely racist theophite, he’s one of the more aggressive confabulation machinery grift promoters.

also, used it to good effect.

thanks. telling.
