Do Kurtz and Straub still do a lot with PA? I remember Straub was hosting a bunch of stuff at PAX in the last couple of years.
I don't think they've done anything with Kurtz for some time.
Iirc there was a bit of a professional fallingout around acqinc, Kurtz wanted to retain control of his Binwin character when AcqInc got more closely tied to WotC, so he got dropped from any further stuff.
Straub is still friends with PA, i think his main job these days is "Dad" though and does AcqInc/PA stuff as a side gig.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Prior to those two decades of rationing was two centuries of industrialisation in Britain, which destroyed many native food species and displaced people and their local culinary customs.
Case in point: hugely varied coastline with many different edible species, tiny seafood culture.
I'm not so sure that's the reason for that - like, did britain ever really have a huge seafood culture?
the majority of it is fertile inland land, so there's a limited amount of people with a reason to bother fishing
Its fair to say Britain never achieved the complexity of seafood cuisine that places like France, Spain or Italy did, but as a proportion of diet seafood used to play a much larger role - there are records of housekeepers contracts stipulating they can be given salmon twice a week maximum because it was so common.
Things like eels, oysters, winkles were very common fare, and they just aren’t now.
My Scottish mother in law still eats a huge portion of her diet in seafood. Gobs of shrimp and fish.
My dad's dad is Welsh and his traditional cuisine, as far as we were told, consisted of wandering down the beach and eating anything you could find on the rocks.
My dad and his brothers found this disgusting and so the tradition died with their generation.

Some sites are reporting Apple is gatekeeping the 16GB M4 chip behind a paywall for the upcoming iPad Pro, installing lesser 8GB versions on the sub-1TB models. Meaning you’ll need to cough up a minimum of $1900 to get the fully-capable chip.

my dad very often wondered aloud what was up with norwegians traditionally not being into that kind of seafood when it's so abundant and like, right there (and this from a part of the country where fishing would be a major part of everyone's diet)
(I grew up in a very pro seafood family. That nobody else seems to eat the oysters and mussels that are like, right there was nice for us.)
but then again the complexity of seafood cuisine of france/italy/spain feels like an aberration because you need to be sort of crazy as a populace to regularly eat shellfish that occasionally turns poisonous and refuse to stop
going sailing for a day trip we would often go to this one spot near one of the islands an appropriate distance away that was just perfect oyster waters - shallow, weak current but still open, warm - and fill buckets for dinner
or just take a kayak out and do a quick trip around the headland to a stonier spot where there was a lot of them
and for mussels we would have needed to walk further to get to the bus stop, provided the mussel warning said yes
so it kind of annoys the piss out of me that I still live relatively close to water yet would have to make a while big trip out of going somewhere it would be advisable to eat pretty much anything out of it, without getting a thousand years of port pollution in it and/or diesel flavour
I'll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest. June the 29th 1945

With the latest incarnation of AlphaFold, researchers at DeepMind and sister company Isomorphic Labs – both overseen by cofounder Demis Hassabis – have mapped the behaviour for all of life's molecules, including human DNA.
The latest medical dietary consensus is that processed foods (mostly meats and sugary drinks) are responsible for everything from heart disease to increases in colon cancer, but this seems to argue the arguments behind this are both vague and inconclusive, as well as only increasing worst-case risk by less than 10%
And is that increasing actual risk by 10%, or is that increasing the percentage of risk by 10% of its own value? Because those can be wildly different values.
Like, if 5% of the pool of people eating Costco hot dogs everyday get cancer vs. 4% of the non glizzy gulpers, that’s a 1% overall increase but a 25% proportional increase.

Like, if 5% of the pool of people eating Costco hot dogs everyday get cancer vs. 4% of the non glizzy gulpers, that’s a 1% overall increase but a 25% proportional increase.
Results 30 188 deaths of women and 18 005 deaths of men were documented during a median of 34 and 31 years of follow-up, respectively. Compared with those in the lowest quarter of ultra-processed food consumption, participants in the highest quarter had a 4% higher all cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.07) and 9% higher mortality from causes other than cancer or cardiovascular diseases (1.09, 1.05 to 1.13). The all cause mortality rate among participants in the lowest and highest quarter was 1472 and 1536 per 100 000 person years, respectively. No associations were found for cancer or cardiovascular mortality. Meat/poultry/seafood based ready-to-eat products (for example, processed meat) consistently showed strong associations with mortality outcomes (hazard ratios ranged from 1.06 to 1.43). Sugar sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages (1.09, 1.07 to 1.12), dairy based desserts (1.07, 1.04 to 1.10), and ultra-processed breakfast food (1.04, 1.02 to 1.07) were also associated with higher all cause mortality. No consistent associations between ultra-processed foods and mortality were observed within each quarter of dietary quality assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 score, whereas better dietary quality showed an inverse association with mortality within each quarter of ultra-processed foods.
So basically processed meats increased your risk, dairy based desert did as well, and so did processed breakfast food. Thing is it is rather small over all and but you do see an inverse association with mortality with better food so better food is a protective factor.
But like reading the risk ratios, verse someone with a normal risk (1.0) and you eat a lot of processed meat your have a higher risk ~7-12% to have cancer or cardiovascular mortality.
Its specific things that are worse not all processed foods it seems are equal either.
Conclusion tells you what you need to know:
Higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with slightly increased all cause mortality. The mortality associations for ultra-processed food consumption were more modest than those for dietary quality and varied across ultra-processed food subgroups, with meat/poultry/seafood based ready-to-eat products generally showing the strongest and most consistent associations with mortality. The findings provide support for limiting consumption of certain types of ultra-processed food for long term health. Future studies are warranted to improve the classification of ultra-processed foods and confirm our findings in other population
I think the bigger thing to me is that again is some foods like nuts (almonds and such) are protective and we should probably eat more of those as our snacks then say potato chips.
I am also biased. I eat cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, and such for my midday snacks.

old-timey fisherman wisdom was that it was foolish to learn how to swim because then it would just take longer for you to drown
grab crabs from behind and they can't pinch you

So just skimming the top of the study answers it.

Technically processed meat is like cured meat, slim jims, and other similar items.
