Nearly all land near small runways and airports that fly planes using AvGas will have lead contamination. That’s because lead is still used in most aviation fuels a consumer plane would use. Runways are also required to have and use PFAS in firefighting foam for emergencies. Training and system tests will dump that stuff in the surrounding area.
Unless these fine folks have A380s they’re paying a hefty premium for lead exposure and PFAS in their water and soil.
I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.
I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.
Most people with jobs do have to open office documents frequently.
I work in IT and hit Spam on everything I perceive as spam.
Poison all the data and fuck spammers straight to hell, tyvm.
Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?
Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.
In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.
So…Biden castrated the railroad union and it’s now functionally pointless. Any union that cannot strike or perform its own negotiations is a paper tiger.
It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table. All he did was remind the unions and employees who the master is. Next time they’ll be just as dependent, if not more so, on government intervention.
Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again.
Agreed.
Under a Democrat: “We have to respect the rule of law, the court made a decision and now we have to abide by it.”
Under a Republican: “The court has made its decision, now it is up to them to enforce it.”
Democrats are truly spineless - they don’t even play the same game and bitch about losing constantly. Fuck this “honor in politics” shit, the fascists are winning.
Is something wrong with Gorillaz now? Demon Days was the shit.
Japan is almost uniquely bad though. A super aged population and a society that values conformance over anything else results in agonizingly slow and absurd government reactions.
They need 4 committee meetings each morning just to drink tea: one for to pick the teams, one team meeting to pick the tea, and another team meeting to pick the cup. There’s a final meeting at the end to discuss the costs associated with the tea and how to more properly distribute it according to rank and social standing, as one does.
FDIC insures up to $250K…unless you’re wealthy enough, then the rules don’t apply and they keep you happy.
Odd how that works. The rules are strictly enforced on the rest of us, but the elites get unlimited coverage. The elite never have benefits cliffs.
They don’t need to sell to realize gains - they take out loans against the stock value from banks for almost no interest. If they choose to, they could get large amounts of that paper gain in liquid cash through just a handful of steps.
You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.
Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.
