several thousand more ballots by overseas voters who didn’t provide their photo ID with their absentee ballots

Since when does FPCA require sending photo ID?

But where do you think the money in your pension fund lies? Even this isn’t making a dent on the elite.

Finland ended homelessness in Finland. It doesn’t exist there.

There are over 3000 unhoused in Finland. Which is great progress, thanks to Housing First… but the fight isn’t over.

I never would have thought that Jim Cramer was a Lemmy user.

You’re joking though, right?

Japan to start getting their own militaries strong enough

Thanks in part to the SCAP in post-WW2, they’re not even allowed to do that. But we all know that Trump doesn’t care about agreements.

Plus the morale kick. “Oh yeah, we fired you a couple weeks ago without making too much of a fuss… but yeah, now get back to work!”

You should be disappointed to learn that most of the “antivaxxers” probably already got Attenuvax, or even the modern MMR vaccine. It’s their children and other at-risk groups that will suffer the most.

It’s basically the same thing in Sweden, but in the rare chance that the tax agency makes a mistake, it’s usually resolved before summertime without any court issues.

Unwashed eggs have a much shorter shelf life

Unwashed eggs have a shelf life of like 3 weeks. If I put them into the refrigerator, they’re still good for at least 2 months. I’ve eaten eggs that sat in my fridge for almost 3 months, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them; float test, inside visuals, and taste was perfect.

We don’t usually sell washed eggs, so I don’t know what their shelf life usually is, but a search shows that it’s like 5 weeks at the most? So an extra couple weeks? That doesn’t seem like a huge difference especially when considering the negatives.

before the salmonella gets through the porous shell.

We don’t even have salmonella in our egg production lines due to better rules and quality controls, but even if we did, how would removing the cuticle reduce bacteria risks? The cuticle is surprisingly resilient; bacteria doesn’t just “get through” it that quickly or easily.

Also consider that the egg’s cuticle doesn’t just hold out bacteria… it also holds in moisture etc. And when moisture leaves the egg, what happens with the displacement? It sucks in air from outside, which may contain contamination, or any salmonella that wasn’t fully removed. I hope your refrigerator (and all the cooling rooms the eggs have been in prior to you buying it) have cleanroom standards and humidity control!

The EU sells unrefrigerated eggs because they’re fresher - they spoil significantly faster than American eggs.

Why would we sell something that expires quicker, if it’d reduce food waste by having a longer shelf life? Stores here don’t like to throw away expired products instead of selling them.

Consider that the more reasonable answer is cultural differences. Many Americans have an extremely naïve view of agriculture. They would see their eggs with some dirt on it, and would flip out instead of Googling “wtf is a cloaca?”… it’s a similar reason why Americans put tons of unnecessary additives and coloring into their foodstuffs.

(And yes, of course the EU’s rules are far from being perfect, but my common sense and science shows that unwashed eggs should be superior. I like eggs btw.)

I, too, normally eat my eggs with the shell still attached.

And you realize that egg shells are porous? Unwashed eggs are sealed, and that’s one of the reasons why Europe can sell eggs without even refrigeration.
