Airbnb has insurance and acts as an escrow for this very purpose. This is what part of their fee is for. I also rent my home out on VRBO, a competing platform. It is very similar to Airbnb. This is a transaction based on trust. Random peopl

Forcing hosts to accept questionable guests is a terrible idea. Many people don't read the house rules before they book. Yes, you have to make effort to show that you are not going to trash my house. Its not a hotel.

Companies like "Vertemedia" still don't get it. The internet is not a television. Many people gave up TV years ago and will never go back. Interruptive advertising is a thing of the past. Also, they didn't mention the hi

It seems like the robot doesn't actually carry the food to the table? Hard to tell from the video.

Interesting. So it is technically possible.

The Kindle PaperWhite and Newest Kobo readers both sport 300dpi resolution. My new reader is like reading on a something that came through a printer. Its amazing!

Its a funny thing but the "natural" remedy can actually work better. I put natural in quotations because its super toxic! Wormwood/nutmeg/Black Walnut. Nasty stuff. Its good as a last resort if the conventional stuff doe

Overblown, perhaps. However, there is not doubt that dentists and patients are exposed to some mercury vapor when inserting "silver" fillings.

I wonder if having worms as a kid (I was an expat kid in Nepal) provides some kind of protection against allergies as an adult? I have never had any allergies and I think this may be the reason (both my parents have seasonal allergies).

What about leaks (almost common in old plants) and the nuclear waste storage problem? There is plenty of energy out there. Recent advances in solar and wind technology make it within reach. Nuclear is simply not an economical solution.

After high school, I saved up and spend 4 months traveling across Indonesia. I was almost fluent in it by the time I made it to Sumatra.

I do. It is dirt cheap. Maybe you can trust the safety standards in Europe but here in the US, government regulation for food safety is notoriously bad. The FDA has been broken for years.

Interesting. Heavy metals are a problem with sewage based fertilizers.

Real science is actually hard to find on the internet. Yes, mostly wackos dominate Google results on certain searches.

Industrial chemistry doesn't have to be that clean. Especially if you are just spraying it on the ground and selling it cheap. Makes sense to me. No, I don't have any links to back it up.

I don't have access to a gas spectrometer. You would think that someone would have tested it, but I cannot find the information anywhere. An MSDS sheet will not list trace ingredients. If you Google this, mostly you only get junk resul

It is required. You can't graduate with a biology degree without at least a year of chemistry.

I doubt it was from the brush alone. It could be possible that more than Roundup was sprayed. No one told me. I should have guessed why the bushes were brown!

I think that MSDS sheets have their limits. Its basically just for acute exposure.

Unfortunately, no. Just what my distinguished chemistry professor told me almost twenty years ago.

Interesting that is contains Ethoxylated Tallowamine. I would like to know what other "inert" ingredients are commonly found in it. Also, is it true that it contains heavy metals?

I was a biology major. If Roundup was only glyphosate, it would be safe. It is made from recycled chemicals. That is all I know.

by ArtDev 10y ago
I haven't looked into it, but I have always been curious about it. I would imagine that many chemical processes from industry have byproducts that are recycled and used in different ways. Putting them into cheap products like Roundup m

Regardless, Roundup is not safe. Glyphosate probably is safe, by itself. After college I did landscaping. Once I cleared brush that had been treated with Roundup, and broke into an itchy rash from head to toe. After that experience, I quite

As my chemisty professor explained to me many years ago, its not the glyphosate that makes Roundup dangerous, its the byproducts and accidental ingredients. Roundup is made from recycled chemicals. Every batch is different and some of it ha
