Take-away 1: Electric cars emit 20% more micro-plastics from tires than do ICE vehicles.

Take-away 2: Electric cars are not the solution to climate change. Whether it's a 2000lb ICE vehicle, or a 4000lb EV vehicle, it takes a lot of energy which has to come for somewhere, and a lot of material that will have to be mined, and then eventually disposed.

Well, in American there was Bernie Sanders.

It's a confounding thing, that so many people will vote for leaders who straight-up tell them that they will make the world a worse place for them (Reagan, Trump, Thatcher).

As long as the temperature is below 451F/233C, there should be no danger of fire.

Pro Tip: Keep masking tape in the kitchen. If you do something weird like storing a pizza in the oven, put a piece of masking tape over the oven dial as a reminder. Masking tape is good for putting a date on things going into the fridge too.

How are they for coming off ? The various reinforced tires I've tried (randoneur, gator, 25mm) are really hard to put back on. Like you peel the skin off your hands trying. I've notice that most tires, even cheaper ones, don't give you trouble for the first 500 miles. So have gone back to a medium grade tire that doesn't require special tools to replace.

I made my own app, and tracked calories, carbs, fiber, and potassium. I used data from USDA. What I found was that it was almost impossible to get the recommended amount of potassium unless you ate nothing but green leafy vegetables, or massively over-eat.

How about "U" -- "Unstudied" If there's no money to study a supplement, it doesn't get studied. Or maybe "unmonied", because the particular studies the governments want cost $$$.

Most doctors today will tell you NOT to take iron, especially if you are a man. Apparently iron has been associated with various health concerns.

There’s a website, I can’t remember the link, but any text you search can be found to have already been written on one of its pages.

It's The Library of Babel

You can type up to 3200 characters in lower case. With a short sentence though, the "title" and page number may be longer than your original text!

Edit: Fixed url title

Changing it into soap does change it chemically. It becomes just like the soap you use every day.

Because it gives economic value to plastics, helping to pull them out of the waste stream.

Researchers at Virginia Tech have found a way to upcycle plastic into soap. Around 120 grams to 130 grams of plastic can make 100 grams of soap.

Biden can't win the election without Harris.

Keep in mind that U.S. elections are not popular elections. You have to look at key swing states. Technically, none of the other 43~ states matter much because their outcomes are already statistically pre-determined. It doesn't matter how much people like Biden in California or New York, if he loses key states. For instance, Hillary Clinton had twice as many popular votes in California as Trump in 2016. But those extra 4 million extra votes didn't matter to the outcome because California is just one State.

For example, Michigan is a key electoral state. It is predominantly a red state. But Barak Obama won it two elections in a row because minorities from the densely populated areas, especially Wayne county, turned out for him. Those same minorities did not turn out when Hillary Clinton ran in 2016. They came back ... just barely ... when Biden ran with Harris as VP. This same story is repeated in Georgia and Wisconsin -- both swing states that usually lean heavily Red.

So, to sum up. It doesn't matter how much people in red states hate on Harris. Their election results have already been factored. What matters is how she is perceived in key swing states. While some red state voters won't vote for Biden because they fear he might keel over, other swing state voters will ... for exactly the same reason!
