Cleaning up after myself at home by:

  • reducing the amount of things i have which i dont use (i had like 30 plates, 15 cups, etc at one time, now i have 4 of each type)
  • house cleaning weekly and tidying up here and there in between (so things dont pile up)
  • cooking my own meals instead of having take out all the time (this improved my overall health)

I just finished watching this episode! Like just now.

Anyways, Warf looked crushed after its disappearance.

I am commenting on this section of the article:

"We and others have shown that these nanoplastics can be internalized into cells and we know that nanoplastics carry all kinds of chemical additives that could cause cell stress, DNA damage and change metabolism or cell function."

Somarelli said his own, yet-to-be-published work has found more than 100 "known cancer-causing chemicals in these plastics."

And also

What's disturbing, said University of Toronto evolutionary biologist Zoie Diana, is that "small particles can appear in different organs and may cross membranes that they aren't meant to cross, such as the blood-brain barrier."

My point being that it's unlikely that bottled water is the only source of these plastics.

I wouldnt be so quick to blame all of this on water bottles when a high percentage of all the food we consume is packaged in plastic and also the left overs sitting in the fridge.

He'll probably get better service if he calls his credit card company (hopefully he ordered using a credit card) and having them reverse the charges. He'll maybe have to wait 30 days, but since he has a police report and amazon isn't cooperating, I think the cc company will go ahead and do it.

Sure, he wont have a watch but at least he wont be out $2k

Reminds me of the "Op" wars on IRC. All users would be given @ status and the point was to kick everyone before you got kicked. Writing scripts for this was my first "taste" at programming.

I would think it was pretty obvious... THEY'RE JERKS.

But what can you expect from a species that's always looking down on others?

Thank you, i will see myself out.

It's the computer's job up to the point where you get on Picard's "shit list". That's when the person being punished is responsible for beaming the poop out.

The Law Bytes Podcast where Michael Geist and guests talk about tech policy and laws. He covers stuff like the online news act, privacy, how badly the CRTC and government handle themselves in tech policy :D

His blog is also worth the read if you are looking for a good breakdown of current bills that affect tech (and internet).

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Wait a minute, that's not star trek!
