Half way through "Against Empathy", I think it is very relevant for people who haven't thought about empathy.

I was interested to read it in part because of the downsides experienced by very high empathy individuals in my own life. The case for rational compassion over empathy is interesting.

Russia do both, recruiting is hard, risky and potentially expensive, whereas idiots are plentiful everywhere but especially in Reform.

Wait till she discovers the role of the Co-operative party and their hard left vision: "of a society and economy in which people's voices are heard; institutions and services are accountable to their users and staff, and ownership and wealth are shared."

It'll be too late to make headlines but I assume some journalist landed an FoI request on who was cancelled to check the explanation.

Now I'm thinking of the trip to Tring where I learnt how difficult Lionel Walter Rothschild found it to domesticate zebras.

I have nagging recollection of a story that the wholesale supply of maple syrup was heavily adulterated with cheaper sugars such as corn syrup. So the manufacturer may genuinely think it is 100% maple syrup, because they were already defrauded, further up the supply chain, sigh.

Eek 36.5% of oral medications have corn starch, okay not news to you.

We see enough grief with things like Acacia in thyroid medication. Indeed lots of people report particular formulations don't work or make them ill, often we can't pin down an ingredient, they just learn the brand.

Home pasteurization typically uses higher temperatures for longer (because fancy pasteurization equipment is expensive, and does the absolute minimum to kill all the dangerous pathogens, since energy costs and heat changes the taste) and so may impact flavour more than professional pasteurization.

It is all down to timing and storage. Ultimately some bacteria in milk will produce exotoxins, that are secreted into the milk. Ultimately why milk goes bad. These can make you ill even if the bacteria are killed. But obviously if you can pasteurize it early enough.

Half the versions skip the whole bit about how they created a monster half man, half bull, which completely kills the story.

You don't mean m, i double s, i double s, i double p, i ...

I use "never eat cake eat sardine sandwiches and remain young" but it is "desiccated" I spell wrongly. I can't have "don't eat sic(k) cat Ed".

We had angst over device tracking, the org had a legitimate interest in tracking location of their electronic devices when lost/stolen, & their employees if missing, but the tooling we found was a bit all or nothing. We didn't want everything, not even sure Google or Apple should have that.
