Track_Shovel could you perhaps add a third design that is unisex, in your lovely collection. I really don’t know what to choose! :)

I suppose, yes and no. In a way the tricky thing is to know what to look for: to be able to recognize that a slimy texture is a sign that it has gone bad.

Here are some more medically reviewd tips from healthline:

Does Rice Go Bad? Shelf Life, Expiration Date, and Safe Storage

Of course this approach has its limits. I thought it was clear when I said that this method is to “check if food went bad”.

If something like meat has not been cooked, or a dairy product has not been properly pasteurised, or there where unsanitary food production conditions, or not canned properly etc, this method does not apply.

It is definately not a way to check if something is eadible in general. And if you are pregnant or have special diatery needs, you know the specifics of your situation.

I don’t remember who told me this “system” to check if food went bad, but it’s a great one imo

1. If it looks good, smell it
2. If it smells good, taste it
3. If it tastes good, eat it

If I got your question right, this would be the answer

And it’s not meant to replace ambulances or helicopters. “It’s meant to be a complementary technology,” he said. Getting medical help to patients in rural areas faster while they wait for transportation to arrive can shave off crucial minutes and save lives.

Dammit then. I started posting in this community every now and then lately, mainly as a reminder that EVs are not only cars. From your comment and the ratio of upvotes/downvotes, it looks like my attempt was not fruitfull.

I suppose, there is room to include other EVs here. We could be talking about electric public transport like (busses, trains), electric bikes, electric boats etc, not only about cars, brands, new models, dollars etc. This is just a wish on my behalf, and I thought of contributing with the sort of content I would like to see more of.

Btw here is a recent post from another community here, related to cars (not only!) and I really hope you enjoy it :) https://slrpnk.net/post/40518356

I noticed in the comments everyone really likes them, but this is not my experience.

True, no leakage. Mine, I got it at least 6 years bacl, never put in a dishwasher and it’s as good as new. But whenever I used it for a hot beverage, everything turns bad in it so much faster than anywhere else. Initially I thought I was not cleaning it well enough. I cut a sponge to reach everywhere and I was doing it daily, with the thingy lifted like in the last picture. I concluded it’s not that. It’s like the perfect conditions are created for new life to appear in it.

I still use it all the time, but only for water. Which also turns bad, but at least it can hold for a day or something, depending if it is room temp or cold.

Intreseting point you made there, and I think you are correct. Found this relevant percentage about Chile, Santiago. And damn, I had to do some digging.

According to official data, the fleet went from 922 electric buses in 2022 to 4,088 units in February 2026, and is projected to reach 4,400 electric buses during 2026 – a figure equal to roughly 68% of the entire system fleet. [source]

To clarify and to my understanding, here they talk about the Red Movilidad system fleet which is the public transport system that serves Santiago.

If I got you right, the percentages you are looking for are in the article and you can have a visual representation in Figure 2 - Share of the electric bus fleet (…)

I could have murdered your entire family yesterday, but I only killed one of them instead. […]

RCP8.5 was not about yesterday. It was about tomorrow.

That sounds like an excellent idea, so on a similar note I could suggest to go to shops that sell clothes for kitchen professionals. I have owned plenty of those, mainly trousers. They are super comfy and they kinda last forever.

Try and explain how lobbying currently works then, without including corruption

Sure corruption is not an invention of capitalism, but one of the problems of capitalism is that it promotes and favors corruption. Lobbyists are an easy example of what I mean.

It seems to me you are missing the point. This is an article about a new scientific discovery. It is not an article about how capitalist industries implement science.

Dammit, I wonder why this is, I mean it works for me. Actually I archived it bc I can’t access the original source.

Anyways, the article can be found here: https://www.ftm.eu/articles/next-food-crisis-big-five-speculation I hope this works for you

Thanks for this, it’s the first time I hear about this and it certainly sounds very interesting. I’m gonna look more into this as soon as I find the time. In the meantime, if you know more about them and feel like sharing about your experience using them, or anything actually, I’ll be glad to have your input.

May I also suggest something? Perhaps add in the post title something like anti-marketplace or anything like that, so that it is a bit clearer what they are for those of us who don’t know. (English is not my first language and just woke up, but still silly me, by reading the title I thought they were currency exchange apps. And now my coffee is ready!)

It looks like we see this differently. I would share this blame if we shared the profits, not because I’d rather live under a roof. Apart from that, the consumers in this case are often other companies that demolish houses to make malls and other commercial stuff.

This pie chart was retrieved from eurostat.

It looks like it’s the latest one, and that the next one is planned for October 2026 (more here). In this link they clearly state that:

Several of the EU countries with particularly high levels of waste generated per inhabitant reported very high shares of waste from mining and quarrying, while elsewhere construction and demolition often contributed to the high shares.

So 100% of the waste regardless of the source, divided by the total number of people = tonnes of waste generated per EU inhabitant. So the blame of polluting the environment is statistically transposed from the relevant industries to all the people.

Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor: Global Implications | February 12, 2025 | published by Environmental Science & Technology, Vol 59/Issue 7

Synopsis

The disposal of Fukushima’s contaminated water poses profound and potentially catastrophic risks to the environment, possibly exceeding initial expectations.

Abstract

The discharge of Fukushima radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean started in August 2023, posing comprehensive threats to marine ecosystems and human health globally. This study introduces the Fukushima Contaminated Water Risk Factor (FCWRF), which integrates three components─radionuclide diffusion, bioaccumulation, and global seafood trade─to evaluate the spatiotemporal distribution of risks based on actual discharge practices. Results suggest that comprehensive risks exceeding 2 orders of magnitude beyond the baseline will be transferred to six continents globally. Furthermore, the spread of such risks is projected to be six times faster than radionuclide diffusion. In the simulation, the results illustrated a small increase in radionuclide activity occurring in most regions of the Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, the dimensionless FCWRF based on a novel integrated framework bridges the barriers among different fields in the risk assessment of radionuclides, thereby underpinning timely and effective responses from the global community.

I wouldn’t recomend lasers. Cats get a pleasure not only from chasing but also from catching things. Lasers can never be caught so the end feeling that is accumulated is of devastation for never fulfiling their end goal.

There are plenty of great ideas here for making them toys. I will add a couple more that my cats have loved much bettter than any toy that was bought.

• Carton roll of toilet paper
• Carton roll from electrical adhesive tapes
• Get a stick and attach an elastic string to it. At the end of the string attach something else - like a cork, a rolled sock etc. Personally I don’t use plastics for toys, but I also don’t stop them from playing with one that accidentaly fell on the floor. When they are done playing with it, I just make it desapear.

Remember that:

• they don’t have the same color palette we do. I don’t know the official terms but we see with 3 colors, they have 2, so bright colors are not of importance to them
• the time you spend playing with them, is bonding time.
• don’t be rough or attack them (in the sense to take them by surprise sudenly). We are a giant to them size-wise. Even tho they see us as equals, we need to ackgnledge that they are much smaller creatures. If you don’t respect them they will start attacking you out of the blue, and a vicious circle will be established.
