Baby powder nets banker with cancer an $80M verdict
J&J Jury Set to Weigh Banker's Claims Baby Powder Caused Cancer
- Asbesto in baby powder? WTH??OBBTKN
- Even if it doesn't contain asbestos, it's still a stupid-fine grade of silicated rock so breathing it is not going to be good for anyone.detritus
- Ever since I was a kid I've found this stuff troubling and worrisome.detritus
- he won't win it.Gnash
- ^ he won two cases now.shapesalad
- didn't he just win the case to go to trial? there's been no judgment yet, i don't thinkGnash
- damn. just looked it up. you're quite correct, he's cashing in big!Gnash
- Always boggled my mind that people would put this kind of stuff on babies. Baby wipes too. Nasty chemical bullshit on your brand new beautiful child. Nope.********

Two things I really want to try - White Castle Sliders (plural, as I understand it) and an Impossible Burger.
Damn you, America!
*shakes fist

YUM, lol.
- Don't buy the hype on the Impossible burger. I was a vegetarian for 6-7 years, so I've had just about every fake burger on the planet..garbage
- ..recently tried an Impossible burger and was seriously disappointing.garbage
- White Castle is worth trying once just to know what it’s about. And yes, you’ll need at least 6 if those little guys.monospaced
- @garbage - I'm not 'buying the hype' - just v. interested in meat replacement ingredients. I've read enough to know it's not perfect, but it's a start!detritus
- I think cultured meat's a long way off - even the shittiest of mince needs a complex and hard to synthesise mix of muscle protein and fats, 'impossible' nowdetritus
- Cows eat grass to feed the bacteria in their stomachs. It's the bacteria that the cows eat. Can't wait for pure protein bacteria burgers.shapesalad
- @mono - I have no doubt it's terrible, but it's a significant bullet point on my ever-planned 'fast food map' of America that I intend to embark upon sometimedetritus
- Weirdly-enough, that's the exact-same sentiment I shared on ars' comments earlier, shapesalad :)detritus
- In relation to cows, I mean. 'pure protein' isn't what you're after if you want a meat replacement. Fat, as I understand it, is very hard to replicate.detritus
- ..so too decent 'chewy' muscle protein. Meat vats of the future will need some sort of stimulation to form muscles of some kind.detritus
- you can already get pure protein powder, making fake meat is way more complex than that.zarkonite
- @det If you're putting American fast food on your list, you can aim much higher than White Castle.garbage
- The only thing that's not on my list is chitlins.detritus
- i had an impossible recently, was pretty impressedscarabin
- lol @ chitlinsgarbage
- I’m allergic to seafood, the exception is the delicious White Castle fried clam strips. I love it. Plus,I always have a box’ frozen White Castles in the freezerSoulFly
- it’s my #1 go to midnight snackSoulFly
- Clam strips? I just threw up on my phone.garbage
- Impossible burger is not bad imo. I recommend trying. Pretty tasty with no guilt.mandomafioso
- Detritus, Iceland are doing an impossible bleeding veggie burger alternative called the No Bull burger. It's pretty good...********
- Hmm, I've been trying to like Iceland recently (re: pledge to drop plastic packaging) but their food's as 'not great' as it was 2 decades ago. Will try tho, ta!detritus
- I popped into Iceland on my way home to have a gander - it's a mulched soya burger? I don't really do soya. Thanks for the heads up though!detritus
- Oh fair enough. Someone just mentioned them to me as impossible burger alternatives. I tried them and liked them. Can't say I know what's in an impossible one.********

Samsung Securities Dealing With Embarrassing $105 Billion 'Fat-Finger' Mistake
https://interestingengineering.c…
"rather than giving the 1000 won ($1.20) to each employee, fat-finger syndrome hit and the employee gave them 1000 Samsung Securities shares instead. In total, they gave away 2.83 billion shares or over $105 billion"
"reports noted that 16 employees already sold their shares which led to market value dropping 12 percent in just a few minutes on April 6"
- No way Joseutopian
- i'd say their stock deserves to drop for such a mistake.sarahfailin

- Capitalism has brought more minorities out of poverty then another other economic system in the history of the world.Hayoth
- Well the Han chinese are some of the most racist cunts you'll ever meet, and they've got 'capitalism' down these days, so maybe there's a point here. Or not.detritus
- Oops, of course - only white people are racist *rolls eyes*detritus
- ^ the chinese have lost their 'marginalized' status of late so, yes, they can be racist now, too.Gnash

- Has Israel ever admitted having nukes?detritus
- ^ not officiallyGnash
- they remain "strategically ambiguous"Gnash
- Christ he's awful.Fax_Benson
- Whilst I presume Israel actually has nukes, being "strategically ambiguous" is a great idea and could save billions.
Just pretend to have them!detritus - Apple should hire him to present WWDC '18********
