No, the boomers with all their magic environment poisoning synthetic fabrics with antiwrinkle coatings did. The next seven generations will have microplastics in every part of their body, but I haven't touched an iron in a while.

~~Look for an expiration date. Radionucleotide style detectors end up failing with false positives when they reach end of life. You might need to have all the old ones replaced.~~

My wife got repeated infections and had a lot of pain from the copper iud.

If you go looking for testimonials you'll find numerous people who had bad experiences with it.

Also, they really should offer anesthetic or at least a powerful painkiller for the insertion and removal procedures. Doctors act like it's no big deal, but it's very painful.

Tech Jesus is a colloqial name for Steve Burk of Gamers Nexus because of his hairstyle resembling old depictions of Jesus.

Silicone? I suppose even sex toys need proper security these days.

Bamboo is just a really big grass. Most grasses can handle having their stems bent to extreme angles because they're hollow. So the bending folds the outer layer rather than ripping it apart entirely.

If the solar cell wasn't there, most of the energy would have ended up as heat anyway. The sunlight was going to hit that patch of earth whether the panel was there or not. Whereas coal that isn't burnt is avoidable energy release. Photosynthesis efficiency is approximately 3-6%. So panels in total likely release less heat than forest which has an albedo approximately 10-20%. Albeit a forest releases a bunch of the heat in water vapor which drastically decreases the temperature rise from the heat.

A high albedo surface like fresh snowpack would be optimal for avoiding heating, but I doubt panels produce more warming than the average surface they cover.

There's something else wrong besides just excessive SEO. The other day I was trying to find a battery controller for a diy battery pack. I searched "rechargeable battery controller." Every result on the first page was rechargeable battery packs for Xbox controllers. I understand how there could be a strong correlation, but it was every result being for Xbox controllers. So my conclusion is that Google search is doing more than correlating occurrence of search terms now. I think they're running some sort of ai to guess what you intend to search based on what you typed then showing results based on that. So their system decided I was looking for a battery for an Xbox controller and showed only results for that search rather than a search of what I actually typed.

People have very limited bandwidth. You can only dedicate so much energy to care about things at a given moment. Bedbugs aren't a huge threat society wide, but individually they're devastating. So if you spend a bunch of personal energy and effort on making sure you don't bring bed bugs into your home, what things are you not paying attention to that normally would be a big deal?

Viral outrage campaigns don't need to be devastating on their own. Their purpose is to keep people distracted, tired, and apathetic.

The fact that you think this is an embarrassingly unsuccessful endeavor implies to me that they are doing a good job obscuring their actual objectives.

The Playstation controller has a headphone jack so you can have both.

Did they take that toothbrush to a belt sander?

I set up multiple profiles on different instances as there were quite a few downtime events when I started. Now things are a little more stable and I only use two. I wonder how much of that decline is from redundant profiles going dark without actually losing the user.
