The ket spell was always there

Or it could not be a bot, but a parent who actually read up on the topic when his kid was born... Your call, really.

The Odds ratio in your research is tiny, and the paper I linked shows that a pacifier has the same effect. You're ignoring the underlying reasons (such as lighter sleeping) and just looking at poor conclusions of research as though it's fact.

The ample evidence is the correlation, which is weak. If you think that pacifiers and breastfeeding both reduce risk of SIDS, then logically it's a phenomenon of an underlying driver and not breastfeeding per se. That's correlation, not causation.

Whoop whoop, that's the sound of the breast feeding police!

Fact is that most of this is, at best, pseudo science and shouldn't be spread. There's nothing wrong with breast feeding, but it's treated like a religion.

Correlating breast feeding with SIDS is some ol' bullshit. Be better. link

The Dutch are 1 of 3 countries who are presumed to oppose! Small victories, I guess.

"Unexpected item in bagging area" was a common misery for everyone in London in 2012. Don't know if it's improved there since.

In NL they now do 'random checks' of 10 items, which is basically 'you having to unpack all your shopping' and pack again so they can check if you stole.

The concept of self checkout is ridiculous, making you an unpaid employee and then blaming you for mistakes. It tries to solve the owner's stinginess for not hiring more staff. It's not there to help you, it's there to suppress employees.

No, that's 'indivisible". "Invisible" means more than anyone could count.

1.3L "family size"... Family size what? Pool?

Pretty sure it was the chat of Eric Hansen who insinuated it first.

The specific wording of the note is a direct reference to Kafka's metamorphosis! So depending on the class and year, teacher should be proud.

2 arms and 2 legs is the median, so 4. I doubt the average will be less than 2.

Dont think less than 2 on average is theoretically possible if the median is 4!
