Plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain are linked through the presence of **microplastics**—tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size—that contaminate many ultra-processed foods, including ice cream, and have been found to accumulate in human brain tissue.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs), such as ice cream, are particularly prone to containing higher concentrations of microplastics compared to whole, unprocessed foods. This is due to intensive industrial food processing, packaging materials, and additives that introduce plastic particles into these foods. For instance, some processed foods have been shown to contain far more microplastics per gram than their unprocessed counterparts[1][3][5].
Recent research has found that these microplastics from UPFs can cross the **blood-brain barrier**—a protective shield around the brain—and accumulate in brain tissue in quantities roughly equivalent to a whole plastic spoon. This plastic accumulation in the brain has increased by about 50% in the last eight years. Notably, brains of people with dementia have shown three to five times higher microplastic concentrations than those without cognitive impairment[1][2][3][7].
The biological implications of this plastic accumulation are becoming clearer: microplastics may cause **inflammation, oxidative stress**, and may interfere with brain cell function, processes similarly implicated in mental health disorders like dementia, depression, and anxiety. The microplastics tend to gather in the brain's myelin sheath, which insulates neurons and facilitates signal transmission, potentially disrupting brain communication[1][2][3][5].
In summary, the link between plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain lies in microplastic contamination of ultra-processed foods like ice cream, which leads to the accumulation of microplastics in human brains with potential consequences for neurological health. This emerging research highlights an alarming new dimension of how plastic pollution in our food supply may be impacting brain health and mental well-being worldwide[1][2][3][5][7].
A popular brand recalled ice cream over plastic contamination, highlighting growing concerns about microplastics in food, which studies link to heart disease, gut issues, and environmental harm.
Disgusting how Reuters parrots Israel's lies in its headlines. Terror attack on civilians (filling water bottles at a water distribution point) called by Reuters a "missile malfunction"

On Sunday, Israel bombed a water distribution point in the central Gaza Strip, as dozens of civilians, mostly women and children, waited in line for water. Twelve people were killed, eight of them children. It was not the first time.

MLB all-star game is tonight. Remember when MLB pulled/moved the game from Atlanta in 2020 because their “voting laws were racist”. Game is in Atlanta tonight, so I guess that means MLB is admitting they were wrong.
There is another reason for the leaders, all around, to support Israel and is because they don't want "israeli" citizens in their countries. It's anti-semitism first of all and then the weight they don't like to "bring" in their countries - for the attitude of "israelis" (being made by funding and support from abroad).

I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:
Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.
I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.
The site: abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.
Any workarounds?
This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?
Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?
I know android is minimally related to linux and the question doesn't resemble a typical question for a linux forum but each time I've asked here you've provided valuable information:

I had a similar issue in my city. I had to talk to the human resources division at my organization, and they were able to work directly with the local transit agency to get me a physical card, but it was a pain, and it certainly wasn't advertised as possible anywhere. It may be worth trying to call people and ask.
Do you trust any other provider? Amex used to have a payment type app but I'm not sure I'd call it a wallet. From what I remember Amex wasn't well used in Germany.
You're better of looking in the degoogle communities. Sorry, I still haven't learned to cite the communities here properly (there seem to be two forms). Type degoogle into a community search box (all one word, no hyphens)
As far as I remember, things other than credit/debit cards in Google Wallet are pretty much images that you can scan like you would a paper ticket. Maybe download that ticket somehow — if some other app provides the same android "activity" as Google Wallet (so it shows up in "Open WIth" menu when you clicj that button), you can use it to avoid Google completely. If it's hardcoded to use Google Wallet, make a separate account just for this ticket. Then just open the ticket in the app, take a screenshot, and use your favorite gallery app to scan it in at ticket gates.

It's billed as new research into Copilot with a new vulnerability.
It's not. It's old, and patched.
Trend essentially stole it from Aim Security, a competitor, didn't mention them or link the research, and used generative AI to write half the article.
It then calls for collaborative AI research (lol) and tries to sell their own products as the solution, despite having no link.
A zero-click exploit called EchoLeak reveals how AI assistants like Microsoft 365 Copilot can be manipulated to leak sensitive data without user interaction.
There's something especially depressing about people throwing out lazy, dishonest, chaff when there's...not exactly...a shortage of real work that desperately needs doing and real risks that desperately need closer inspection.
I realize that "ignore the tedious problems you definitely do have in favor of the sexy exotic problem that you don't really need to do any work on!" is a tempting pitch; but that doesn't make it any less distasteful.
As someone who used their products many years ago, I find this to be in keeping with their brand. This is the level of performance and commitment to quality that I would expect from them.

Tour de France : violente répression de la dénonciation du blanchiment des crimes d’Israël par le sport
Depuis le départ du Tour de France, le 5 juillet, les militantes et militants présents pacifiquement sur le parcours pour dénoncer la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course et pour exprimer un soutien au peuple palestinien ont été victimes de violences policières inédites et particulièrement graves. À Lille, le 5 juillet, des citoyens et citoyennes, membres de l’Association France Palestine Solidarité, qui manifestaient pacifiquement ont été nassé·es, contrôlé·es et fouillé·es. Des drapeaux rangés dans des sacs ont été saisis par des policiers en armes … À Caen, le 9 juillet, d’autres membres de l’AFPS ont été gazés et jetés à terre. Une banderole a été lacérée de coups de couteaux et détruite, des drapeaux palestiniens ont été volés ainsi que des keffiehs tandis que d’autres objets personnels ont disparu. Des policiers qui se sont livrés à ces violences ont affirmé qu’ils avaient reçu la consigne qu’aucun drapeau ou marque de soutien à la Palestine ne soit visible sur le parcours du Tour de France. À Flers, le 10 juillet, une dizaine de militant-es se sont vu interpellés et là aussi des drapeaux palestiniens ont été confisqués au prétexte que « le port de signes religieux est interdit lors de compétitions sportives ».
Ainsi, la complicité du gouvernement avec les crimes d’Israël éclate au grand jour. Ce gouvernement qui utilise les forces de l’ordre pour faire taire tout soutien à la cause palestinienne tout en assurant la tranquillité des propagandistes d’Israël. Il a été en effet révélé que des escortes policières mobiles et huit agents des forces de l’ordre entourent chaque jour le périmètre autour de l’équipe israélienne, armes au poing.
Cette connivence dans la répression a permis à Sylvan Adams, le patron de cette équipe qui soutient ouvertement l’expulsion des Palestiniens de leurs terres de se féliciter de n’avoir vu aucun drapeau palestinien sur le Tour de France.
Alors que les massacres et les horreurs se poursuivent quotidiennement à Gaza et dans toute la Palestine, ces violences policières à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui dénoncent pacifiquement le génocide en cours sont injustifiables et inacceptables. Il est révoltant de constater que le gouvernement de la France vend impunément du matériel de guerre à un régime génocidaire et dans le même temps réprime les personnes qui en dénoncent les crimes.
L’AFPS dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’attitude du gouvernement français et de la police sous ses ordres. Elle assure les militantes et militants agressé·es aussi injustement de son plus chaleureux soutien.
L’AFPS tient également à affirmer sa détermination à poursuivre la dénonciation de la complicité de génocide du gouvernement français et des organisateurs du Tour de France par le blanchiment des crimes d’Israël à travers la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course.

I’m pretty good rebuilding shit, but these two cycle Walbro carburetors are a pain. They made thousands of variations. I can’t even find what rebuild kit number mine needs. My blower stalls once started and you hit the gas. Hoses are good. I’ve tried rebuilding these fuckers and it seems to be a time waster. Some ports you have to remove a “Welch plug” to clean out. Good luck sealing the new one with “nail polish”. I hate these carbs. 😡
