can we get like a 30-day musical chair countdown?
If you have an extra wifi router as well, secured network-security cameras. Lots of programs out there to do just that (been looking at a few and I'm not 100% on a perfect recommendation till I set something up myself).
Huh, I've been following the ai chat-psychosis articles and videos being produced now but never connected the executives as being also manipulated and pushing ai as their "savior". Totally makes more sense in that light.
I'm confused, Outlook has 700 third parties but you're using gmail?
Good lord, what are these comments? This is like a reddit meme page with no real information and if anything a bunch of misinformation.
Article TlDr;
Cause: The source was a firefighting foam used at the airport since the 1960s, ending only in 2017... Toxic residues from the foam lingered, filtering through the soil into drinking water and people’s bodies – probably over decades.
Effect: The person with the highest had 22 micrograms per litre (mcg/l) of blood. The average was 14.9mcg/l, which would make people in Saint-Louis among the most contaminated 5 to 10% in France... Long-term adverse health effects are possible for people with levels above 6.9mcg/l of blood
Solution: To remedy the problem, the local authority plans to install new water treatment plants at a cost of €20m, and a further €600,000 a year to run. From 2026, water bills will probably rise to help pay for it.
They're trying to sue the airport that released all these chemicals, which are also extremely toxic to the firefighters (Firefighters’ exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an occupational hazard: A review). Unfortunately it seems they're protected from the fact those chemicals were "certified" at the time of use so weren't doing anything under the radar.
Reverse Osmosis treatment for water
If your goal is PFAS removal, be sure to choose a reverse osmosis solution with the right type of additional filtration stage. Look for certification to the NSF/ANSI 53 standard for PFOA and PFOS from an accredited third-party organization (like the Water Quality Association) for specific contaminant reduction. (link)
Study: PFAS Exposure Through Skin Causes Harm Similar to Ingestion
While skin exposure to PFOA is of concern, studies evaluating the immunotoxicity of dermal exposure are lacking. These studies evaluated the immunotoxicity of PFOA (0.5–2% w/v, or 12.5–50 mg/kg/dose) following dermal exposure using a murine model.... The IgM antibody response to sheep red blood cell. was significantly reduced in the spleen following 4-days of dermal exposure (2%). PFOA exposure produced a significant decrease in thymus (1 and 2%) and spleen (0.5–2%) weight along with an increase in liver weight (0.5–2%). Immune cell phenotyping identified a reduction in the frequency (1 and 2%) and number (0.5–2%) of splenic B-cells. (study link)
Stay safe out there everyone. I hope with the new regulations for the EU coming into play that the world's governments will start responding and if we have some decent politicians in place we might get some actionable movement that will hold companies responsible.
I thought the same as you did before coming in here thinking the headline was fine but reading some other comments I can see their point of view. Different people just see different things, it's all just perspective. You've really gone on an unhealthy crusade in here demanding everyone see your side and that it's the only valid one.
Is that still a pervasive thought in today's culture about Japan? I understood back in the 90's when there was less exposure but I thought that reality kinda crumbled with the loss of high tech companies that actually give a damn anymore. I don't know of anyone that talks about "premier" Japan tech unless it's something from the past.
Honestly, you'll be better off getting into linux now than any previous years. It's pretty easy and practical these days especially with the push into the Steam Deck. It's pretty much plug(install)-and-play with most systems, there's only a few outliers like custom pc's and a small amount of games that will give you any sort of problems.
I run one windows, one mac, and like 5 linux machines. If you stick with the more popular linux distributions like debian you won't run into weird problems. It's only surfing weird distro's like elementary and pop OS that I've had to do further troubleshooting on.
you would have to factor in the amount of traffic that exposure from youtube gets them for those other monetary functions to get a real sense of how valuable it is to be or not be on that platform. Definitely feel like ethics should always come into play though and a lot of creators are branching out with hosting themselves or patreon/etc.
I was a wee little lad when a neighborhood friend showed me what happens to a slug when you pour salt on it, how anyone can see that and condone or joke about the use is akin to gas chambers being "effective" for the nazis or death sentences.
Slugs are amazing, their benefits are like worms, birds, and legumes super packed into tiny squishy guys (they compost, spread seeds, and are a good protein source for nature (link)).
Slugs also don't just "show up" and sneak into the house. If you've got a gap under the door like that then EVERYTHING is getting in and your entrance is about as energy efficient as a barn door (for the love of god just get an under door weatherstrip for 10$ even if you rent).
Slugs rely on very moist conditions, your gutter/foundation drainage at that point should be a priority and will 100% make the problem naturally go away. If they're in your house, you should be concerned about possible health complications with whatever conditions are making it a viable habitat for them (probably an open crawlspace with plumbing leaks and water pooling from improper grading). I would probably be worrying about mold and termites more at that point than some slimy guys.
I remember growing up in the 90's and being acutely aware of the growing minimum wage. I knew no matter what that when I was able to get a job I would be guaranteed "this" amount and always thought about prices and how long I had to work to get something I wanted when I was an adult. Every small bump made it a little mini-celebration like I was getting a future raise that would allow me to have a better life.
Now? Shake and bake costs over 5$, I have to literally work over an hour to buy half a cup of "convenient" seasoned bread crumbs. I could buy the flour, make the bread, and process it to make my own... but now I'm out of time in the day to work enough to actually afford the meat or any other side item. Oh yeah, and at some point I should pay my bills and save for retirement -_-
I'm not too confident in the collaboration of all the states tbh. An example is Texas trying to prosecute people for going out of state for abortions,

You never know when you need to migrate till it's something you NEED to do. I also worry about medical personnel,
