I live at 2000m altitude

I had a problem with skin on the tops of my knees drying out and flaking, it was quite painful

Turned out it was the antiperspirant I was using on my armpits got on my knees when I bent over to put my socks on and dried out the skin 😂

Agreed. I would've paid if the price wasn't so steep and felt a bit guilty, despite having paid for the Reddit version a few times

Really glad I didn't now because the dev has disappeared, but I hope he's ok!

I think the average tory-voting fuckwit was really struggling to support Sunak so the majority of these goons will take one look at this lass and go

Probably a good thing then lol

I know a guy that lives under a bridge. He only does wet cuts though.

Simply because he has a fetish for urinating on hair

Really shitty source there, OP

Edit - OP edited it to something a bit better!

The very first word in the article is a glaringly obvious fucking typo. Why on earth would I want to read anything that website has to say?!?

Not surprised to see nobody recommended bringing back Wilfred

Knew a Wilf once and he was a complete dickhead

Highly detailed, hand sculpted Jack the German shepherd Yorkshire terrier by the look of it

The correct answer to "how to plan a road trip on the Amalfi coast" is

"Don't"

I mean, you literally just open it in a browser with a paywall remover. It takes less effort than fucking moaning about paywalls -

Tiny pieces of plastic that pollute the environment can be produced by simply opening a plastic bottle or tearing a food wrapper.

Microplastics are between 0.001 and 5 millimetres in size and are usually either produced directly, or form when large plastic debris breaks up. We now know that millions of tonnes of microplastics are abundant in the environment and can harm marine life by entering the food chain. Microplastics are also found in our food, although the effect on human health is still unclear.

“Plastic is everywhere and enters our daily lives – and microplastics might be there as well,” says Cheng Fang at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

He and his colleagues tested whether everyday activities could release microplastics. They opened common plastic items such as bags, bottles and packaging film by twisting the bottle cap or tearing the bag, for example, or by cutting them with scissors or a knife, which deforms and fractures the plastic.

The team used a scale that is sensitive to weights as low as one nanogram to collect and measure the microplastics that landed on its surface. Between about 10 and 30 nanograms of microplastic were released from opening the plastic items, which amounts to between 14,000 and 75,000 individual microplastic particles. But the team says that the true amount released is probably even higher, because many microplastics are statically charged and remain in the air.

Studying the microplastics with a microscope revealed that most were in the form of fragments or fibres of varying shape and size. Some could be seen with the naked eye, such as those from cutting bottles. The team also used a technique called spectroscopy to deduce the microplastics’ chemical composition and found the majority were made of polyethylene, one of the most widely used plastics.

“This finding sends an important warning,” says Fang. “We might need to take our own responsibility and work with industry together to reduce [microplastics].”

“You’d love to say that you’re surprised and shocked at the results, but unfortunately, you’re not. We’re now realising that microplastics are literally everywhere,” says Christian Dunn at Bangor University, UK. It is now crucial that we work to find out the possible health effects of microplastics and cut back on unnecessary plastic use, he says.

Woooosh

Fuckin long headline to say "because they're cowards" lol

I'm not cool and I'm fucking furious you excluded me

Yes, "developing nations" best describes countries without free healthcare, decent consumer protection, or reasonable public transport, let's stick with that

I thought that too, with the TPM thing

Turns out it's just turned off by default on a lot of mobos. You just go into bios and enable it

Then use a program called Rufus to make a bootable flash drive but without all the shite and spyware, and just upgrade W10 to 11 in minutes

Honestly I put it off for ages because of everyone saying how bad it was, turns out they just don't know how to customise it to their liking

Probably spending too much time trying to get their printer to work on Linux lol

All us....countries seem to spend a really embarrassing amount of time talking about the pointless minutiae surrounding our candidates for office and their personal lives

We just.....don't though

Even if we did it'd be drowned out by the utter drivel spewing out of the one country that does
