I remember having small kids we took this very seriously. I always wondered if this was just another overprotective order, or could really be an issue.

Would you consider Target or Walmart more ethical? Or better at policing counterfeits?

I think we will see this lead to a boost in software developer employment.

The gold standard here is ACTUALLY distillation. It's easy, it doesn't introduce other chemicals, and it pretty much removes everything. https://learn.pfasfreelife.com/research/distillers-remove-pf...

Fantastic idea! I think asking for the product, description, and the means by which it is designated pfas free would be easy to put up. Thank you!

Ah one more hack or idea. My kids LOVE books. Our local library has the Libby App and we get tons of free books for car rides and nap time. Get it and get them a kindle fire. Then completely disable games and only enable books.

Love this response. Remember that having the time and space to give to your kids like this is a luxury not everyone has.

For a long time we setup a raspberry pi with screen and monitor for our kids to use. It was perfect, the gpu wasn’t strong enough to watch YouTube but it was fun to play some basic games and get curious about coding. We have banned YouTube

Thought experiment: what if these apps were owned by non-profits? Would they still be addictive? I don’t think the VC money does much but accelerate the end state, the apps would become addictive if they were held privately their entire l

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but a few extra sleep hacks I have learned: - I use the chili-sleep to control temperature. - I use sleep headphones to drift to sleep to a story. If I wake up ruminating, I turn the headphones back on and it h

I appreciate your comment about gamification. I’ve kept a streak alive on other apps for no other reason than keeping a streak alive. Not learning a thing.

The original article even alludes to this. The first thing at the top of the list is water from a purifier: https://www.plasticlist.org/product/460

It's a good point. I'm not an ag lawyer, but I am willing to bet that there's wiggle room in any grass-fed definition set by the USDA. And you're right, there's also: plastic from water sources, plastic in the fiel

Beef cows are accumulators. And their feed often contains plastics.

This list is amazing, but at some point you have to prioritize what you’re paying attention to. Your most dangerous plastic or microplastic is the PFAS. And the biggest source of PFAS is the water you drink. Does it run through plastic tu

Your biggest exposure is going to be water, hands down. What you store it in, how you filter it, these are going to be major sources of plastics and pfas.

I love uv. I am a convert, I use it for everything. One area I find it incredible for: deployment. If I have to launch a docker container and install a lot of python packages it saves so much time and compute. I also appreciate that it h
