I guess I start making donations to the post office by becoming a stamp hoarder?

Obligatory fuck airbnb

Could always get back at that asshat by donating your Tesla to PBS or NPR (assuming of course you could afford it).

But the social media research I did says Vitamin A is the natural way to build up immunity! /s

Snake oil sales persons everywhere. Supplements should have been regulated by the FDA from its inception.

I suggest you enjoy your placebo effects and take a physiology course. (You can verify that this is the placebo effect by studying and doing research, but I won’t link how to do that for you, I know that’s unkind of me to do)

Go peddle your snake oil elsewhere.

OP, go see a medical doctor who knows more about human physiology than some snake oil sells person on the internet.

It’s possible to still track speed using a video feed instead. You just have to know the distance between two static points within the videos frame. Time naught = passes first static point, time final = passes second static point.

Velocity = distance / time

Although I’m not sure how or if this would impact the battery life of the device.

Current owners that can afford todo so should donate them to PBS, NPR, or Wikipedia! He’d hate that

I’ll be the one dressed up as, acting like, and quoting Rodney Dangerfield from caddyshack.

My first thoughts as well. I’ve been using a cellulose sponge that has shredded coconut husks on one side of it for scrubbing. It’s pretty good, biodegradable, and doesn’t get soft when i need it to be hard.

I believe there are some fallacies in your statement that someone smarter than myself could probably point out.

Just as a thought experiment, let’s look at the following scenario. It is entirely possible that we are already paying for this as consumers. Most municipal services, such as waste management/recycling services, are subsidized by local governments to reduce costs for their residents. In addition, companies that donate clothes to other countries ( countries that really don’t need our clothes ) most likely would be non-profit companies. Their tax exempt status costs us more. Granted, this is all just hypothetical.

My assumption, because I trust my government for the most part, is that someone who has greater knowledge of these topics/costs, has calculated how much it actually costs the taxpayers. It is entirely possible that these textile manufacturers could inadvertently be subsidized by the government (your money).

This hypothesis could probably be further strengthened by examining the markup prices from clothing industry, since quality and price do not seem to be correlated in that industry, at least in my experience.

Expensive brands will probably continue to market to people with more money and budget target/walmart brands will do what they do best, and market to lower income consumers.

All the stuff mentioned above

Basic biology he says? I’m just gonna leave this here

As a scientist who works with all kinds of things humans ingest, I am very scared of this man and the deregulations he’ll bring. But you know, fuck science and education, cuz ‘Merica.

Side note, how do we reach people who reject science? I always thought education was the path forward, but they seem to be attacking that route too. Are we doomed to live in a world of conspiracy theories and misinformation?

Edit: The ACS is offering a course on “How to Navigate Trust in Science Conversations” I guess I’ll start here. It’s not the quick answer I’m looking for, but I guess it’s a start. I think it’s free for non-ACS members if anyone is interested.

Almost feels like this law will segue into some form of subscription based nonsense…

Lemmy is a fine place for it, saying it’s a hive mind may have some truth, but it’s also a copout. Just back up controversial opinions with some sources.

You said you read things that “got you to this point.” What was it you read? I’d be interested in reading it.

How dare. 6.35mm is superior and I for one want it on my phone. The larger jack size provides a greater surface area for conductance. Why is this important? Glad you asked, more surface area translates to less resistance at the junction, thus allowing more electrons to flow freely from your device to your ocular cavity, where sound is processed from compression waves into electromagnetic waves. The 6.35mm jack is the best option for hi-fi 256 bit color. As you can see, it’s all basic science. Source: I’m a stientist

Oh, that thing is garbage. I prefer the 6.35mm RGA jacks for superior hi fidelity quality. It’s a shame they don’t make phones with those.

What’s a headphone jack?

Well, I feel safe knowing that the police are as wise as a child trying to hide their report card from their parents. Our public safety is in good hands!
