SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STABLE

Someone with a case of brain rot.

PFOA is a relatively larger compound, and smaller “short-chain” PFAS that industry now more commonly produces and claims are safer were absorbed at higher levels – up to nearly 60% of one short chain compound dose was absorbed by the skin.

“This is important because we see a shift in industry towards chemicals with shorter chain lengths because these are believed to be less toxic – however the trade-off might be that we absorb more of them, so we need to know more about the risks involved,” said study co-author Stuart Harrad.

Oh nice. Well at least shorter chain PFAS degrade faster, but that’s a shit consolation prize.

Non-stick cookware isn’t a significant source of PFAS exposure because while technically a PFAS, PTFE is a stable polymer. This is important because you might have replaced your cookware and feel safe while not realizing that the sofa and the rug in your home are spewing PFAS in the air every time you brush against them. I threw out a nice sofa because of this. Furniture and carpets are the main source for residential PFAS exposure. Unless your water is super contaminated of course.

On one hand I’d like it if the Democrats put up someone more certain to beat Trump. On the other Joe has shown he supports labor and things are moving in the right direction in that regard. I’d hate it if he we get a corpo Democrat that halts this progress.

Brilliant idea squid. You’re getting promoted!

And boy did Boeing have to bring out a lot of mops on Thursday. But this time, it kinda, sorta just maybe wasn’t Boeing’s fault.

I’m sorry what now?

They’ll do an unprofitable thing? X

Agreed. But I’m very afraid. I don’t know if they’ll be able to make him step down, and I don’t know if an alternative would be able to close the gap with pipsqueak.

You just wait, by all accounts, we’re gonna put our own fash prime minister with a huge majority next year. I am very afraid.

Hot on the heels of the debate that pushed the probability of a Trump presidency higher comes another decision in a string of decisions undercutting regulatory power. Boy are corps gonna wipe the floor with workers if Trump wins. 😔

I don’t know whether they even had any data on change difficulty. I think it was more like - we needed a vaccine yesterday and Moderna and BioNTech had the mRNA technology just ready to be able to spin up a vaccine quickly. And that was good enough to save a lot of people from severe disease.

It sucks that we’re unlikely to get a vaccine targeting a difficult to change part of the virus by the established mRNA makers. We would probably need a new entity to do it.

Somehow I think Islam is the bigger problem. I think they don’t take the Satanic Temple as seriously. 😂

This is how you get Christians to lobby for no religion in schools.

Now if there’s an imam to step forward, we could really accelerate this process.

“at the expense of economic and social sustainability, [but] defending and promoting European production and safeguarding tens of thousands of jobs.”

I mean, she’s right in general that the EU might not be taking care of the workers of the affected industries. But that doesn’t mean the way to take care of them is to halt the transition of the worst offending sectors. There’s no reason not to super subsidize the auto sector transition to make EVs in the EU other than ideology. The transition doesn’t mean dependence on Chinese EVs and jobless or downskilled auto workers.

No mass ID leak article would be complete without an ad for another online entity that requires ID submissions.

The problem with smart light switches is that they sit on the AC path. This means they’re capable of starting fires. As a result you might want units that don’t have questionable designs or the cheapest relays inside. A proxy for that is being certified by a western certification organization. Something like UL, CSA, ETL, MET, TUF, etc. Both the certification and the grade of components used increase the price of such units. There are some cheaper certified switches too, but personally I wouldn’t install something that doesn’t carry the name of a North American (I’m in Canada) manufacturer on it. Leviton, Eaton, etc. And those are $50+. 😔

Well their job is to keep the line from going down so… They seem to be doing their job.

To a central server via a cellular network. So GPS and a modem. There are such trackers, I thought this was one of them. 😊
