The claim that's made in this blog - that Kagi 'owns a t-shirt factory' seems disingenuous, or lazy at best. Kagi's own blog says that instead of going with a major branded merch manufacturer/distributor, they chose

Most of those platforms seem to require the patient to pay for a virtual visit for every refill, or require some kind of a monthly fee.

As someone that’s been forced to reluctantly wear the ‘Windows sysadmin’ on and off for the past ~15 years due to circumstances beyond my control…this just sounds like the complaint of someone too lazy to learn PowerShell.

The vast majority of food demands in urban population centers cannot be met by small farm operators, for scalability and price reasons. There are also a number of foodstuffs that can either never be provided by local farmers, or can only oc

That's probably a fine trade-off for the other advantages of living in Sweden, but restricting off-road vehicle use on private property seems excessive. Banning electric bikes also seems like obnoxious oldster nanny-state behavior.

You can wipe a generic PC and reinstall the OS, which will deal with all but the most nefarious malware. No such luck with these random Android devices, generally. You are generally obligated to use the system image provided by the untrustw

This finding seems to account for SSRIs rather than other classes of antidepressant. It’s difficult to believe that classes like NDRIs (which behave similarly to an amphetamine) would show such low superiority to a placebo.

I think a lot of westerners are going to be unpleasantly surprised if they select items based on typical western sizing categories for S/M/L/XL, which seems to be how they're categorizing the available wardrobe kits. Jap

Relatively small differences in dissolved salts are enough to cause halocline barriers that don't really mix well and still pose a hazard to local flora/fauna.

The ideal solution is to separate and capture useful minerals and metals from the waste, but the current (lack of) cost effectiveness is presently a steep barrier to adoption.

by sithadmin 3y ago
The concentrated minerals and metals in the waste, as well as the chemical additives used during the desalination process, are incredibly difficult to contain given their solubility in water.

It's not as easy as 'dilute and spread' -- highly concentrated brine doesn't really mix readily (halocline effect) when released back into the sea.

Because this isn't cost-competitive on a per-gallon basis versus continuing to do business as usual, and the environmental impact of any kind of desalinization can be shockingly negative depending on how the waste output is managed. Th
