I'm only a student in the field so NotADoctor™ but under normal conditions your tear film layer and blinking keep other liquids out of your eyes. When wearing contacts in water or when cleaning them with tapwater, there is a small amount of the fluid that gets trapped against the eye. If that fluid is fresh water contaminated with acanthamoeba, it provides ample opportunity and time for the acanthamoeba to break through the layer and the contact lens prevents it from being blinked away.

My understanding is that acanthamoeba are basically everywhere, and the contacts being worn when swimming or showering are actually one of the main factors in acanthamoeba infection. They normally eat bacteria but they are opportunistic parasites, and I guess the contact gives them the opportunity.

I mean, one of the benafits for fentanyl specifically from the perspective of drug dealers is that it's a synthetic. With heroin or cocaine or something you have to have space to grow the plants or a source for the plants and those can only grow easily at certain latitudes, etc. So you're limited by the supply chain. With synthetics you can set up a lab anywhere relatively easily, like in Canada for example

I guess I could google it but for the sake of the comment section is that from highest to lowest or the other way around?

Oh, absolutely. I would even say that description of their attitude towards workers rights is an understatement. I'm just talking about their lofty goals for the project and how even with the best engineers and best workforce in the world their stated timelines are physically impossible

You'd think. If I was the one paying for it, I would be changing providers but you know how that goes. I just work here, man.
