Plastics manufacturers say loosening the rules will encourage more people to compost.

More like plastics manufactures say loosening the rules will allow them to greenwash their products and increase profits at the cost of our planet.

Leave out the salt unless you want more long term control. Vinegar on the leaves in the heat of the day should be enough, but you need to use the hardware store stuff (30-40%) instead of the grocery store stuff (5-9%). Organic vapor respirator is recommended, it's strong stuff that will hurt you.

This "asking to be removed from flood maps" is as common as people disputing their property valuation for tax purposes. In the immediate term, no owner wants to go from not in a flood plain to on a flood plain. Of course the reality is that maps don't dictate nature's behavior, but property value goes down in addition to property expense going up.

One possible solution is government buying out flood prone areas, but I've only seen this happen in more affluent communities. This still leaves some risk, though, since there will always be a threshold where there is some flood (or hurricane or wildfire or windstorm or hailstorm...) risk, but not enough risk to be relocated by the government.

Were you rinsing it or actually using a narrow bottle brush to wash the metal straw?

Further down the article they quote someone saying they don't think this is the actual cause. Apparently the mites and virus are in most hives, so they're not convinced it's the cause of the die off rather than just a symptom of a weakened hive.

To emphasize how unfortunate it is, the first dose of the measles vaccine isn't given until age 12 to 15 months. That means that even if parents fully intend to vaccinate their kid, they're still vulnerable to measles for at least that first year.

You'd think so, but look how long it took for George Santos to be kicked out. Someone more charismatic and acceptable to the GOP (not gay) like Oz could have stuck around for decades.

Honestly it should just be the party motto at this point.

Fetterman has been a huge disappointment, but remember the alternative was Dr Oz.

They do when you use ublock origin. That element selector has been doing a lot of good work for me lately.

On the home screen yes, but you do still get search results.

I agree, but it does cover the entirety of my suspicion towards organic produce.

Sure thing. This article goes in depth, but the short version is that natural doesn't necessarily mean safe.

No sugar added! We just added grape juice concentrate for no particular reason.

See also: organic farming. We define what's allowed to charge you extra. Is it less awful? Maybe! Is it more expensive? Definitely!

I was so confused when I saw your comment until I reread my own. It really is top notch technology I guess!

How did you know? Really though I was looking at the picture in the article which is from similar technology about a decade ago.

"All seeing" except it's using radar to evaluate typography and biomass. What am I missing that makes this "absolutely fucked"?

"You look like someone I'm looking for" seems to be a recurring quote from these guys.

Atomic Heart was like that, too. Tons of difficulty options to customize your experience, but no matter what combat always felt like a punishment.
