Wash them if you can. I find most poly filled pillows get lumpy if washed. But, you can toss your pillows in the dryer on high heat for about 20 minutes. That helps kill some smells, bacteria, etc.

Omg what difficult to mine and impossible to recycle material is this breakthrough gonna take?

The idea that people drank beer because it was safer than water is a myth. They drank for the exact same reason we do today…you get a buzz. A side benefit was that beer had calories in a drinkable form. The safety of the drink, as in not full of harmful microbes, was an indirect but not primary benefit.

Seconded. It’s like waiting for the old-fashioned newspaper to show up so you can see the next one vs binging on a netflix series.

I have never bought Bambu filament. There’s a far wider array of types and colors available to print with online, cheaper, than Bambu’s offerings. It only takes a few minutes to calibrate and save the settings for a 3rd party filament. The only thing it should be necessary to buy from Bambu is replacement parts.

And a whole stack of the exact same wrong answers despite you asking the question five times with the “-“ modifier to eliminate those wrong answers.

Game of telephone with that one, worse with every telling. No deer turned anyplace into a desert. Just the reintroduction of wolves improved the overall health of an ecosystem. I believe it was Yellowstone.

I think this describes a lot of critical infrastructure. It’s the “profit” mindedness of governments and corporations to choose to consolidate infrastructure in places that might be risky but cost less. It’s like removing tornado warning systems because they cost a lot to maintain, staff, and operate. So a few people being killed and property being destroyed is “worth it” because it’s cheaper in the long run. So running cables in vulnerable areas is “worth it” because it was cost effective to do so and accept the minor risk assessment that political instability might someday affect them. Same with global energy. It was cost effective and profitable to run so many ships through Hormuz and put a substantial amount of refining capacity in a potentially unstable area. Now we pay the price thanks to an idiot president.

“Precious”

For people that don’t live with them or have to deal with their problems.

They wreck all your plantings. Whatever ornamental garden you might have apparently tastes better than any natural plants, they will destroy them. You want a garden to grow your own food? Need a 8 foot fence around it, and that probably still isn’t enough. They jump in and wreck everything. They shit parasites and drop ticks everywhere. Dogs are idiots and eat deer shit, picking up parasites. Trees or saplings are just perfect to rub heads or horns on, they destroy the bark and kill the plant…again apparently because your plants are better to wreck than anything out in the woods.

Yeah, I think deer are pretty cute, but fuck them too. Goddamn pests.

And nothing will happen to them.

Limited time and very limited access to content, only content that is age appropriate.

Use the device’s parental controls to limit apps, downloading, purchases, sites, hours available and total time allowed. Doesn’t matter if it’s a phone, tablet, or PC. LAN parental controls if available as a secondary layer of site blocking and overall internet blocking at internet curfew time.

Been doing this for years. It’s a must. Parents are responsible for limits on mobile devices and content. Having the software do the limits is far, far easier than physically demanding the phone from the kid, shutting it off, or looking over their shoulder to see what they’re using it for.

It’s called idolization. Excessive worship. One way to do that is to make a statue of someone not because of any great service, but because they’re idolized.

In no way did I mean that statement literally.

It was a sarcastic reference. This style of seat is quite common in terminals.

Airline lobby bench seating.

The trump bible is like all the folders full of “plans” he presented to the press. Official looking covers with nothing but empty pages between them.

But you didn’t make sense, by your own admission.

at the time I didn’t make sense.

Drowning Pool’s Bodies done by Psychostick.

The power games are for the people at the top, the ones with money. For the rest of the sheep its [religion, racism, nationalism, patriotism, whatever bogeymen that can be made up]. Just like in the US today. There’s no shortage of complete fundy nutcases wishfully cheering trump’s war in the Middle East as a path to Armageddon when in reality it’s nothing more than trump desperately trying to control the petro energy market as a power and money grab. Except he’s an idiot.

Idiots listening to CEOs telling them the great things AI can do, like buying AI stock will make you money and AI will be your chat bestie never telling you anything you don’t want to hear. But the leopards are waiting to eat their faces.

Subscriptions for AI access, AI inserted into everything, wrong answers, humans being laid off, water resources being consumed rapidly, higher energy prices… and people will be unhappy, forced to pay their AI access fee to ask AI why things suck. And AI will lie.

Biden didn’t do anything to affect global pricing. It was just the surge in demand caused by economies coming back to life. The world did it to itself.

Trump, OTOH, directly and deliberately started a war that resulted in destruction of oil refining capacity as well as holding petroleum and energy transport hostage, affecting the entire world.

But that distinction is far too difficult for republicans.
