Would love to know how you like it! I’ve never used a buckwheat pillow

Ethically a bit more complicated, but definitely natural.

Thus, the article’s prophecy has been fulfilled. The author will diminish and go into the West.

Children living in households that use gas stoves for cooking are 42% more likely to have asthma, according to an analysis of observational research. While observational studies can’t prove that cooking with gas is the direct cause of asthma, data also show that the higher the nitrogen dioxide level, the more severe the asthma symptoms in children and adults.

Cooking and baking done with gas appliances can give off high concentrations of nitrogen dioxide. A recent study published by researchers at Stanford calculated that emission of nitrogen dioxide from certain gas burners or ovens rose above the standard set for outdoors by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) within a few minutes. Currently, the EPA has set no standard for safe levels indoors.

Organizations like the Massachusetts Medical Society and the American Medical Association are trying to raise clinician and public awareness about these risks. Yet much of this information still comes as a surprise to many.

Maybe they got their AMAs mixed up and its actually the Asian Manufacturers of Appliances trying to raise public awareness…

Unironically this.

Just so you know - you inspired me. While I was doing my nightly read-up on my RSS feeds, I made the deliberate choice to pull mostly positive climate stories, and put them in my posting queue.

They won’t pop up right away (I try to space things out), but now >50% of my queue for the week is highlighting positive news. That may shift as the week evolves and news breaks, but this is looking to be a more positive week from me :)

Those corporations just spent like a billion dollars to lose an election, we’ve got a better shot than we’ve had in a long time.

A+ silly affirmation! Spread those around like they come with measles!

I post climate articles I find interesting rather indiscriminately probably 70/30 downer/upper, but the engagement I see in terms of upvotes/comments is probably 90/10 downer/upper.

I’m saying this because I dont think there’s a dirth of positive content, it’s just not being encouraged to flourish.

Be the change you want to see in the world and upvote/comment on positive content. Even silly affirmations help things float up the algowall.

If you want to take things further, post positive and organic content! Adopt a community and make it your goal to add something to it every week - start growing the positive culture you want. It’ll feel rough to start because you likely won’t get any engagement, but keep at it so folks know its okay for them to share as well.

DDG browser? Frankly, I’m not familiar enough with that one to know. A quick search leads me to think it’s not a very flexible adblocking solution.

Depending on your OS, Firefox (and its forks), Brave, and Orion have the broadest ad blocking support in my experience.

ETA: I tested DDG on my phone and the only adblocking built in appears to be YouTube, so seems like a no. Would highly recommend Firefox if you’re on Android (or any desktop OS), as it supports addons like uBO, which is an absolute must in the modern enshittified web.

Adblocker cleans the page right up, do you have the annoyances filters enabled in uBlock?

Why bother when slop already exists in the zeitgeist?

Good thing there’s no looming sand shortages around the world

Documenting it for the record is still important, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn.

And reminders like this help slowly erode decades of polluter propaganda - the less credibility they have, the harder it is for them to rebuild that illgotten trust.

Your brain doing irreparable damage to the air?

188k likes? I don’t Twitter. Is the echo chamber really that bad or does he just have it set to automatically give him like 150k likes on every post through the backend?

LITERALLY

Thankfully, I haven’t noticed excessive farting in Archie. But I still have questions. Is my cat farting more or less than a small dog, say, a Chihuahua? What do cat farts usually smell like? And at what point is some farting too much farting?

It’s also why I’m excited about the Steam Machine despite not actually owning or wanting one. It gives a consistent benchmark upon which game developers can be judged, and hopefully further encourages Linux support.

If reviewers start consistently referencing Steam Machine performance, it’ll give developers something to optimize for instead of just optimizing for the latest, fastest hardware.

The numbering is weird, there aren’t actually 50 Propositions because you need a certain number of signatures to get something onto the ballots. Only like 10 Propositions actually make it onto the ballot each year.

Everyone is eligible to receive a mailer that contains the full wording of the proposition, a couple of pages summary with complete “for” and “against” arguments (and rebuttals), as well as a ~2 paragraph summary from a coalition of folks representing the “for” and “against” campaigns.

On top of that, outside groups like DSA provide “Voter guides” like the above, that you can independently research.

The ballot itself just has a title. You are not required to read anything to vote, but I’d wager most folks just read the official “for” and “against” blurbs and form an opinion.

ETA: You can see the official voter guides here, just scroll to the PDFs and choose your preferred language.

To be honest and blunt, the quick reference opposition arguments were quite weak, which is likely what carried this proposition over the line.

Docker helps with software compatibility, SBCs with hardware.
