feedsmgmt··on The EPA is proposing that 'forever chemicals' be considered hazardous substances
Here is another study they did that is phthalate and they link a PDF of their methodology: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/the...
feedsmgmt··on The appendix is not, in fact, useless
A reserve of good bacteria to repopulate your guts in case you consume something bad that needs to get flushed out. Aren't tonsils something similar?
feedsmgmt··on The EPA is proposing that 'forever chemicals' be considered hazardous substances
Per the article there are few sources of that substance other than PFAS. What makes you believe that there are many sources for it?

"That’s because all PFAS contain organic fluorine, and there are few other sources of the compound, says Graham Peaslee, PhD, a professor of physics, chemistry, and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, who has studied PFAS in food packaging.

Another complication: PFAS is used so widely—found in ink on food containers, recycled paper, machines that make packaging, and more—that it often shows up in products unintentionally."

feedsmgmt··on Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
And you need to enter all of the information that you're trying to protect into one central location that is probably heavily targeted. These types of services never made sense to me.
feedsmgmt··on Pinball Map: Crowd-sourced worldwide map of public pinball machines
It's less than a mile from a train stop. That isn't accessible?
feedsmgmt··on The EPA is proposing that 'forever chemicals' be considered hazardous substances

feedsmgmt··on Pinball Map: Crowd-sourced worldwide map of public pinball machines
Have you been to Galloping Ghost's pinball arcade?
feedsmgmt··on Pinball Map: Crowd-sourced worldwide map of public pinball machines
They're big and heavy and have a lot of wear parts that are expensive to maintain. Standing in one spot not blinking isn't great. I can play pinball in VR and have about an equally good experience these days.
feedsmgmt··on Starlink's laser system is beaming 42 petabytes of data per day
Where did you get that 100GB/mo number from? 4K streaming eats up data transfer quickly. Comcrap & friends knew what they were doing making arbitrary data caps that sounded like a big number at the time. Wireline data caps should be illegal.
feedsmgmt··on Solid-state EV batteries now face "production hell"
Solar panels on the outside of the plane? They're above the clouds for the most part.
feedsmgmt··on Dangerous chemicals found in recycled plastics, making them unsafe for use
Maybe don't wear any kind of plastic? Every time you wash a synthetic garment plastic particles are going into the water system.
feedsmgmt··on The horse, the drone, and the fight for gambling success (2021)
There is so much collusion and cheating in that "sport" it should be shut down. On top of all the animal abuse at that.
feedsmgmt··on [dead]
With profit margins on existing internet customers being so obscene, to me this program seems like a massive subsidy to the big ISPs who were still making additional profit from what the "discounted" rate was. The minimum plan for just cable internet should not be $50+ per month
feedsmgmt··on Some fish live beyond 100 and get healthier as they age
Isn't that because the ocean water blocks radiation?
feedsmgmt··on Please don't make me use another QR code restaurant menu
Paying with QR instead of having a stranger take your credit card somewhere to swipe it is also a much better experience for me.
feedsmgmt··on Thailand discovers nearly 15M tonnes of lithium
I think that is an odd opinion to have. The data shows otherwise: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/electric-vehicles/chart...
feedsmgmt··on Ask HN: What would you do if you could start over?
I would cut out alcohol from regular consumption much earlier.
feedsmgmt··on US regulator considers stripping Boeing's right to self-inspect planes
At this point why allow anyone to self inspect or self report anything? What's the upside to allowing the risk?
feedsmgmt··on Consumer Reports finds 'widespread' presence of plastics in food
Your fruits and vegetables might be covered with a petroleum derived "wax" by default: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_waxing
feedsmgmt··on Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, report finds
People focus so much on "cost" and "profit" that it seems to lead to short sighted decision making.
feedsmgmt··on Ethernet Is Still Going Strong After 50 Years
You are not a professional at everything and you don't know what you don't know so things that seem easy might not be and in fact could have significant dangers. A person that does the thing every week is going to be efficient and knowledgeable. It also creates jobs and supports the economy. A lot of strong independent types are frugal and arrogant and self centered to the point of being a miser.
feedsmgmt··on Casino-like apps have drained people of millions
Those big spenders are called whales and they get explicitly targeted and catered to. Those business models choose the predatory path.
feedsmgmt··on Subtle ways Microsoft Word has changed how we use language
LibreOffice seems to work just fine for reading and writing doc and docx and it is completely free and open source.
feedsmgmt··on Big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says
Navigaton on the site isn't great and that's a fair criticism. Software jobs salary data is here and you can drill down to state level etc https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes151252.htm
feedsmgmt··on Big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says
The practice of pay benchmarking using private data is egregious because of the very detailed publicly available data from BLS.
feedsmgmt··on Antarctic Ice Shelf Demise
You're only looking at net numbers and not how it's an interconnected system and when one sheet goes so does it's support for those near it. Look at how significant the loss is on the west side. Read the article before speculating from your interpretation of a graphic please.
feedsmgmt··on Starlink Direct to Cell
Do people in those areas need phone cases that are insulated to retain heat?
feedsmgmt··on KSP2 is spamming the Windows Registry until the game stops working
The legacy of the game was already ruined by the greed of it's owners. Remember when almost all of the KSP original development team resigned at once?
feedsmgmt··on Working remotely can more than halve an office employee’s carbon footprint
There are people who make a lot of money from the consumption of gas and tires and oil. Also the manufacturing and selling of automobiles. Those people make a lot of financial contributions to politicians and sometimes become politicians themselves.
feedsmgmt··on Every type of plastic used by LEGO (2022)
Aren't some of those plasticizers and dyes toxic?
