ARM doesn’t belong to Nvidia. They tried to buy it a few years ago and failed. Its majority owned by a Japanese conglomerate.

They never “gave” it to you, it was always priced into the contract.

That is their value to some people. If they price every ticket at the highest price a ticket sold for they will mostly have unsold tickets and will lose a huge amount of money. Venues and artists benefit from full arenas because they make money from selling other things so they already have an incentive not to price tickets too high.

The other thing they could do is use dynamic pricing.

Needs something more to distinguish it from the California of old, how about the New California Republic, or NCR for short?

You do you, but I’m happy to enjoy an ice cream once in a while.

So the UK has exactly the kind of labelling you’re talking about and they’re one of the fattest countries in Europe. Guess what, they also eat one of the highest proportions of UPF.

What food are you actually talking about that gets falsely flagged as unhealthy?

Because it’s too complicated. It would be too long of a list for people to remember and its too difficult to prove the harm of individual ingredients and they’re probably almost all fine in moderation.

Look at where we are now with saturated fats: Every major health organisation in the world says they’re linked to cardiovascular disease and should be limited in diets, and meanwhile hordes of people who’ve read a pop science book or watched a YouTube video think they know better and can eat all the fat they want.

We’ve tried going against fat, we’ve tried putting the sugar, fat and calories and packaging, people know about calories in, calories out, and yet obesity never stops growing.

UPF is about the manufacturing process. The idea is that it isn’t going to include the things that you make in your kitchen from whole and processed ingredients, but it does include the cheap easy to overeat stuff cooked up by food manufacturers.

Also I’m not aware of anyone who says you should eat no UPF whatsoever. It just shouldn’t be a huge part of your diet.

I think you’re kind of missing the point of the classification. It’s not supposed to be a perfect identifier of unhealthy foods, its supposed be more useful than stuff like “red meat consumption linked to colon cancer” (when actually the steak is broadly okay, but the stuff that’s been ripped apart and reformed together with a bunch of additives and eaten multiple times per week is not).

The UPF classification is an attempt to group together all the different kinds of foods that are formulated by food scientists using ingredients you wouldn’t have at home, often waste or byproducts chosen for their low cost, that’s been iterated over to produce the most shelf stable product which their testing shows people eat the most of while keeping profit margins high. It is almost always very easy to eat quickly and therefore overeat, while being devoid of fibre and high in sugar/salt/fat.

On the topic of fruit juice, even when the ingredients list sounds fairly innocuous, fruit juice extracts are a great way to cram sugar into a product, so you can e.g. consume an entire apples worth of sugar in one bite with none of the fibre. Thats why they count as UPF.

There’s a distinction between processed and ultra processed. Normal bread made from flour, water, yeast and salt is processed, not ultra processed. If its got emulsifiers, preservatives, and sugar added then its UPF.

Olives, cheese, traditionally made sausages are processed. That slab of competely uniform reconstituted meat is UPF. The cheese from a can is UPF.

Processed foods are broadly fine. We’ve been eating them since the dawn of civilisation.

A bicycle.

So do something about it. If you just sit there and post “I don’t want this” on the Internet they’re just going to keep doing it.

Corbyn won more votes than Kier Starmer did. It was the complete collapse of the Tory vote that let Starmer win a landslide.

UK and FR have ~500 nukes, more than enough to ruin Russia.

When is Trump going to pay back the $500bn the rest of NATO spent supporting the US in Afghanistan and Iraq?

If only there were a middle ground somewhere between “just entered the workforce” and “should have retired 10+ years ago”. Oh well.

I doubt it’s the beef honestly. It’s a big contributor overall but the rich can’t physically eat much more than the average person even if they do choose high beef diets.

Compare it to you flying 0-4 times per year on a plane with hundreds of other people versus them flying everywhere on private jets just for themselves.
