  This is an article about a Lancet commission that took a pretty global lens, first sentence points out it’s “a nearly ubiquitous global commercial enterprise”

  worldwide, 46 percent of adults (approximately 2.3 billion people) and nearly 18 percent of adolescents (159.6 million youths between 10 and 19 years old) have gambled in the past year

  Although only a small proportion of individuals engage in problem gambling—an addiction that affects an estimated 1.4 percent of gamblers, or 80 million adults globally—the researchers recommend that policymakers treat gambling as a public health issue rather than as a medical problem

  Although four-fifths of countries worldwide permit gambling, that number understates the global nature of the industry’s influence, since digital technology transcends borders.

  Also seeing what happens when one country changes a policy is a great way to learn about the impacts of your county’s policies. Like if somebody had shown asbestos caused cancer in lab rats you shouldn’t go ‘why should I know this, I’m not a rat’ and keep using asbestos in everything (in reality it was textile workers dying who first clued us in to asbestos).

  This seems more like intimidation than propaganda

  Don’t let the sailors tell you you have to cross oceans to circumnavigate the globe! Just walking around the headwaters of the Pregolya River is equivalent.

  While this would have worked in Euler’s time, the puzzle in fact became unsolvable around 1873 when canals were built in the Masurian lakes effectively connecting a tributary of the Pregolya with a tributary of the Vistulato the south and cutting of this route. Maybe hopping across lock gates when they’re closed doesn’t count as a bridge tho?

  wait did ‘holy water’ just mean ‘the strong stuff the monks are brewing’?

  This is super cool! That video mentions heavy rain could cause some interference, anyone know how significant of a concern that is? Like how heavy of rain has what kind of impact on speeds?

  We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.
