I had a pet hedgehog a few years ago. We fed her cat food and meal worms. she lived on her own in a hamster cage with cedar chips and went hard on the wheel. She lived 8 years with no major issues.

She eventually got used to our smell but I never really felt as though she recognized us. If you took her out she could chill on ur lap under a blanket or in a hoodie pouch for hours but she (quite often) went to the bathroom on whoever was holding her. She also really loved sitting on the shoulders of people with long hair, hiding under the hair.

10/10 would get another hedgie before getting any other mammal smaller than a cat.

RIP Luna 💕

Nice! After doing some research it seems the general consensus is that LDIR is better for detecting and distinguishing plastics, but only detects down to a radius of ~5um. In this paper they opted to use py-GC/MS in order to document smaller particles.

The problem with pyrolysis however is that by busting everything up it’s more likely that polyethylene can be confused with other hydrocarbons. In the paper it seems their only confirmation is that the data matches up with other labs that have run the same py-GC/MS tests. The paper also mentioned someone using electron microscopy to see microplastics in brain tissue, describing them as “nanoscale shard-like fragments.” However there’s no source for it and I can’t find it.

I did find this article comparing microplastic detection methods I thought was pretty interesting. A few years old tho.

So is this still going off the vague estimate given my a google exec regarding AI power usage compared to a search engine that was reported on and then cited over and over again? I’m no fan of AI slop but the power usage of industrial shit is massive compared to a bank of GPUs roleplaying as waifus.

Just to add on to this because this is a good response: the chart is showing it as a % change and Idaho is ranked 37th in population with 2 million. The #1 spot is California with around 40 million so for Idaho to see an increase of 1.5%, only 0.075% of Californians would need to move there.

Anecdotally, I know of cases of Californians moving to most of the states nearby, except the PNW. I don’t think it’s crazy to see that bump in Idaho as a result of the chuds and petite bourgeois exodus from the west coast neo lib regime.

Oh cool the most basic hydrocarbon chain lol. No I too have doubts on quantifying plastics with GC/MS. I don’t run tests like that but I do work with the results/analytical and unreactive plastic compounds like this are almost never detected with confidence.

The data is good to see though where did you get this?

My whole thing is, the term “plastic” can refer to a ton of different materials and while most are stable to the point of non-reactivity, most of these materials are essentially organic substances (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, etc). I never see anyone talk about methods or standard deviations or anything like that it’s just “there’s a spoon in your brain!” Is there? it’s LDPE specifically? Styrene? PVC? what are we talking about?

I grew tired of Finals eventually because I’m just not a competitive fps type of girl but yeah it’s truly a gem. All the same live service bs but at the same time u can always buy the next battle pass off of the currency you got off of the last one and I think that’s pretty neat.

Wow what a great way to ensure no one visits your site in the future

What they’re just supposed to campaign without the foreign influence of AIPAC??? What if they write articles vaguely calling them anti-semitic?? Please try to have empathy for the insider trading ghouls they’re just poor widdle babies

I’m in the same boat as you and I believe this way of thinking will only become more popular until schools simply don’t have enough players for a(n) (american) football team. Lots of kids with working class parents pretty much have to get involved in an after school activity but men’s soccer is typically the same season as football and the equipment cost is much lower….

Chronologically I think that’s the movie

Tf is a Sedanet?? A coup?

I agree the vapes aren’t harmless and that needs to be recognized. However I think this type of clickbait to be directly harmful if it convinces someone to use a product that’s actually worse.

But again I’m not super confident on which is worse but I feel the benzene and tar wins in this case.

I’m a chemistry nerd not a biology nerd but I find it hard to believe the health concerns of heavy metals really outweigh that of the tar, benzene, and other directly harmful hydrocarbons found in cigarettes.

Oh I thought that was ‘FREEDOM’ my bad

The manga ran in the 80s so it would need to be before that. I think there’s a plethora of examples of various fantasy/science fiction elevators starting with the invention of the elevator (late 19th c). Though IMO this type specifically (big, industrial, diagonal) has seen consistent use in games for almost entirely utilitarian reasons. It’s a cool way to spice up the usually room-to-room gameplay seen in 90s action games.

aw shucks maybe next time peace will mean no war

Ah yes you see we must engage in immoral and evil businesses because it’s good for the economy! See you only think capitalism doesn’t work because you’re not fighting for every tiny scrap of capital regardless of the moral implications. stupid dummy head. I mean, you wouldn’t have to if it weren’t for immigrants and globalism but capitalism is definitely not the issue trust me.

I know the answer is that it’s bad faith/lying but this logic always baffled me, especially from a food service viewpoint. If I generally had more money the first thing that would change is I would start eating out more. More disposable income would literally save all the trash chains like applebees but I guess they don’t want to be saved at this point.
