The Product is . . . Comprehensenility
  • My favorite is when they send me and letter in the US mail for the sole purpose of telling me they decided to cover our medication the doctor prescribed. The language they use is infuriating.

    As if we should call them back and praise them, be grateful for their service, and just ignore that I’m paying them.

    Wonder Material Graphene Discovered in Lunar Soil Sample From Chinese Moon Mission
  • Neat, will be interesting to see what comes from this:

    This graphene, which consists of several thin layers, may have formed billions of years ago due to volcanic activity and the effects of solar winds on the moon. This discovery is exciting because it shows us a new, possibly cheaper way to make graphene on Earth, which could revolutionize technologies in electronics and materials science.

    Lithium-Ion Batteries Have Gone Too Far
  • Recycle your old batteries https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/recycling/yes-you-need-to-recycle-your-old-batteries-a5385943645/

    Most batteries—regardless of type—contain toxic chemicals. Think cadmium, lead, lithium, or sulfuric acid. If your old batteries end up in a landfill, pollutants like these can leak out and contaminate groundwater, damage fragile ecosystems, and potentially make their way into the food chain.

    California governor issues executive order for removal of homeless encampments.
  • I do donate actually, to two organizations in my state. Not huge amounts , but something comfortable for me and my finances.

    I started during the pandemic when homelessness was more visible in my area and I watched the city make all the wrong moves despite my votes.

    Don’t get me wrong I prefer all avenues of improving the problem should be pursued but I also admit fully that donating isn’t for everyone.

    Male feelings
  • Totally agree, but unless you’re comfortable asking which one the person with the problem would prefer, it can be challenging to know which path to take.

    I guess you could argue that if you’re not comfortable enough with this person to ask, then the person might not be comfortable seeking solutions.

    My relationship with my spouse massively improved when we started telling each other which we prefer for each situation.

    Imagine the smell.
  • Thank you for your service. Right now I feel the same feeling when someone says “ew this milk smells, smell it”
