Great reporting by Leslie Liang for @theexamination.org on the risk of nicotine analogues creeping into consumer products such as e-cigarettes and oral pouches. Thanks for the interview !
‘Nicotine-free’ vapes and pouches promise a buzz without the downsides. Health concerns remain.
Outlaw Dip, Spree Bar and other nicotine alternatives aren’t regulated in many countries. Researchers warn about health risks and misleading marketing.

In „Amrum“ wird auch Nordfriesisch gesprochen. Damit rückt der neue Film von Fatih Akin eine Minderheitensprache ins Zentrum, die in Deutschland gerne überhört wird. 👉 taz.de/!6118499/
„Wenn eine Sprache, in der ein Mädchen ‚foomne‘ und ein Backofen ‚oonk‘ heißt, ein Dialekt des Deutschen sein soll, dann kann Niederländisch auch gleich für Deutsch erklärt werden.“ taz-Autor Gunnar Hinck liebt Fatih Akins neuen Friesen-Film und sagt: Friesisch ist kein Dialekt des Deutschen, sondern eine eigene Sprache Eine Mutter steht mit ihren beiden Kindern auf einem Feld. Die Familie ist ländlich gekleidet. Die Mutter hält ein Pferd an der Leine fest, während alle drei den Blick in die Ferne richten.

Pres. Kornbluth articulates such moral clarity in this rejection of the proposed “compact”:

“the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone”

~40% of the ENTIRE corn crop of the US is used to make ethanol. This gets blended with gasoline to power well under 10% of our vehicle miles. If we converted 100% of our vehicles to EVs installing solar on a small fraction of the land this corn is grown on would power them all.
US domestic corn use graph from 1980 to 2020. The orange bar representing "Alcohol for fuel use" (aka ethanol) starts growing in early 2000s, explodes before 2010 and stays huge through the graphs 2022 end. This explains most of the increased corn production in the US.

Moving to Norway be like:

- Can't sign a rental agreement until I have a Norwegian bank account.
- Can't get a bank account without a Norwegian ID number.
- Can't get a Norwegian ID number without having a rental contract.

It is absolutely hilarious to me how some people think immigration is easy.
