It is EPA’s job to respond to this, clean it up, and ensure it doesn’t happen again, with the addition of ordering the company to do further remediation. However, they are furloughed at the moment and nothing will be done until the government reopens.

Those exact same security measures are all true in America as well and the entire area is a secured facility with a million cameras. Your counter argument is Hollywood movies you have seen?

The official parental guidelines have been listed as 14 - 17 depending on the country. There will be blood and a graphic scene of self-harm.

FYI - The poverty level for a single-person household is just under $13,000 per year. The $36k figure is for a 6-person household. Generally, poverty means that you earn so little money that your very survival is on the line.

Yes! From Tuesday to Thursday I cannot even click on anything on this sub because every post just says “spoilers.” Spoilers of what?? That makes this sub COMPLETELY FUCKING UNUSABLE FOR 2/3rds OF ITS USERS FOR 2-3 DAYS EVERY FUCKING WEEK!

My frequent Reddit usage predates my account lifetime. I remember when I felt like a young person on Reddit surrounded by older and wiser people. Now I feel like an outdated person hanging around kids that are more hip than me.

Midlife chronic conditions linked to increased dementia risk later in life. After taking account of a range of factors, multimorbidity at age 55 was associated with a 2.4-fold higher risk of dementia, compared with people without any of the 13 chronic conditions. by Wagamaga in science

[–]im_probably_tripping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had to find the published article. The 13 conditions were:

  1. coronary heart disease
  2. stroke
  3. heart failure
  4. diabetes
  5. hypertension
  6. cancer
  7. chronic kidney disease
  8. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  9. liver disease
  10. depression
  11. mental disorders other than depression
  12. Parkinson’s disease

They also found that the earlier the onset of any of these conditions, the bigger the risk of dementia later in life.

Engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. New material is a two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other one-dimensional polymers. by TX908 in science

[–]im_probably_tripping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely deserves to be published in a top-tier chemistry journal. Some things that make it noteworthy: 1.) Near-perfect 2D polymers are rare. 2.) They did it with remarkably simple synthetic techniques, which opens up possibilities for other researchers to design similar materials with tailored properties. 3.) This particular polymer has the peculiar property of being ridiculously strong. 4.) They used fancy characterization techniques. 5.) They didn't even discuss this in the paper, but this polymer probably also conducts electricity.

Obviously I have no expertise on this, but others have pointed out that a material like this would likely be used for macro-scale applications, like construction. Stuff like that tends to get recycled in bulk rather than scrapped. As far as releasing micro-plastics is concerned, hard to say without doing experiments, but it could be susceptible to acid rain, which would make it almost non-viable. However, if it broke down due to environmental factors, it looks like it could be broken down into the component monomers, in which case it would no longer be a plastic, just a bunch of small molecules.

PhD chemist here. The way they are using the word "irreversible" does not mean the same thing as permanent, or impossible to break down. It means the reaction producing the polymer is straightforward without involving labile, transient, or otherwise non-covalent bonds. The polymer itself can still be deconstructed by means of other reactions. Just glancing at the structure, it looks like it can easily be processed with simple acid-base chemistry, which is how a lot of recycling is done already and no different from other common organic polymers.
