No pet!

All of these factory spaces have metrology departments for confirming product specifications are in spec, who are likely to have training and expertise in defect isolation (as in finding where a defect is coming from). I have very little doubt that they would be able to create/purchase the necessary tools for checking for microplastic dispersion within the factory floor and isolating the key locations that need fixing. That is, if regulations started requiring and testing for lower microplastic content.

“We expected the opposite result,” Ph.D. student Iseline Chaib, who conducted the research, told AFP.

“We then noticed that in the glass, the particles emerging from the samples were the same shape, color and polymer composition—so therefore the same plastic—as the paint on the outside of the caps that seal the glass bottles,” she said.

The paint on the caps also had “tiny scratches, invisible to the naked eye, probably due to friction between the caps when there were stored,” the agency said in a statement.

This could then “release particles onto the surface of the caps,” it added.

OK, so maybe a minor change in how these bottles are filled and sealed could end up fixing the issue. There’s clearly some issues with soft drink assembly lines, and if these can be addressed, then the overall amount of microplastics can be mitigated. Seems like we need to start phasing plastics out of every step of manufacturing if we want to end microplastics in food and drink.

Hmm. The Wikipedia page is missing any mention of the nickname, but this military history fandom wiki has that nickname clearly documented, and it shows up again in a politico article.

Can’t immediately tell if this is a failure of Wikipedia’s documentation practices or a ‘fact’ that’s been made up by less secure channels.

Really wish we could turn back the clock to when specialized webpages talking about a certain subject were in abundance.

What about South Africa?

Geneticists are like AI devs IMO. Sitting on the cutting edge of human capabilities, hoping to make the world a better place, while careening humanity into an even worse dystopia.

Minecraft. Star Fox 64. Pokemon Stadium.

How much did a recuiter cost you? That sounds hella useful IF the cost-reward balance is good.

Also, what kind of profession were you in that made a recruiter make sense for you? I can imagine it making alot of sense for an engineer and not a whole lot of sense for a ‘starter job’ like cashier or janitor.

What’s that emote’s context?

It’s a rectangle, though. Like, how are the other rectangles less appealing?

Can’t seem to find any info on whether it’s a milled body like the fairphone 4.

What a hilarious name to give it. Granted ‘Man-o-war’ is also very funny for a thing that mostly just floats around and stings you if you swim into it.

That’s incredibly sad to hear. I watched this channel alot to see the various fox personalities, like Finnegan. I’m gonna be worried about the foxes for a while, now.

So lgbt + anarchism + the occult => Prith protection spell. Wicked.

“Why’s anarchism in the formula?” There’s no way the anarchist just magically made its way into that symbol. Had to be intentional.

I think it’s a very young puppy. Some big breed with fluffy hair? Like a Tibetan Mastiff or something similar.

EDIT: after some research, I think it’s probably a Chow Chow puppy.

Time to go back to corks!

Looks entertaining… if you know league of legends characters.

The means wasn’t really what I was aiming to point out. I was more communicating solely the motive for those regulations, whether fought for by workers or instated by bureaucracy.

Edit: it was 7/7 when I saw this

Motorcyclists in Seattle were doing traffic control by blocking necessary lanes with there motorcycles. I wonder if that would have helped in this situation.
