Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison'

  • This is the way

  • There's an even more accessible way to pop popcorn. Add oil to a pot, heat it on the stove and dump in some kernels. Optionally cover with a lid.

  • I don't think that people who use AI tools are idiots. I think that some of my coworkers are idiots and their use of AI has just solidified that belief. They keep pasting AI results to nuanced questions and not validating the response themselves.

    • Applying 'extreme heat' to lithium-ion batteries reportedly restores their capacity, and I think it's the sustainable tech breakthrough of 2025

    Jump

  • Yup, just plugged it in there. The internal resistance of these cells was high enough that it limited the current somewhere between 3-8A. And this was done only briefly as these cells got quite...warm.

    • That was quick

  • Don't know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.

  • I remember recovering dead 18650 cells from laptop batteries and "restoring" them with a 12V modded PC PSU. Quite a few of them actually started working again and had some capacity for a few tens of additional cycles. Those cells were never left unattended in a charger and they were always only used in a device you could chuck in a moment's notice.

    10/10 do not recommend.

    • Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market

    Jump

  • Considering that even the hybrid cars made by car manufacturers themselves are heavier than their ICE counterparts, I don't think that by retrofitting an older car you'll get a better result.

    For example, 2024 Hyundai Tucson curb weights:

    Heaviest ICE: 3663 lbs

    Lightest hybrid: 3692 lbs

    Lightest plugin hybrid: 4115 lbs

  • The biggest issue with an EV conversion is the weight of the batteries. For a lot of passenger cars, adding 500kg of batteries maxes out or even exceeds the vehicle's gross weight.

  • Logitech m330 with a single AA Ni-MH battery. Have been using the same battery for the last 4 months, wondering when will it die.

    I also have a smart charger for the batteries, so I can just keep them in there without the risk of damaging the batteries. The moment the battery dies, I'll just take another one and swap it quicker than it would take me to find a usb-c charger.

  • I mounted it on a wall before I found it out. Neighbors haven't bothered to connect to it once, so I haven't risked accidentally breaking it during dismount. It is scary enough to adjust it on it's mount, considering that most of it is a thin and fragile oled panel.

  • LG C series OLEDs are a pain. If you connect them to wifi, they'll give you Apple TV and other "promotions" as pop up notifications at random times.

    These TVs also have Bluetooth which cannot be turned off and any device can try to connect to it, giving you a non intrusive pop up of 20% of your screen area.

    And their customer support is absolute garbage. In my area, you'll have to call them a few times before anyone picks up, then there is a 50% chance that the clerk doesn't speak English nor your local language. Sometimes you'll give up on calling them, as no one responds. You'll be happy to know that they will call you back in about a month.
