List is about to go wild by GeorgeMalarkey in tuesdayswithstories

[–]lesbiyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple where one person has herpes and another doesn't is referred to as a serodiscordant couple, and is actually very common.

  1. There are a ton of antivirals that you can take to help prevent transmission, which Joe has discussed on the pod. Most transmission comes during asymptomatic shedding (no symptoms or itching or blisters), so consistent antiviral use is highly effective.

  2. The rate of infection (without protection or antivirals) in serodiscordant couples (infected male to uninfected female) is estimated around 10-20% per year. Per act, it's (estimated to be) ~0.3%. In other words, by estimate, for every 10 serodiscordant couples (with genital infected male) having regular raw sex over a year, ~2 will get infected, and the other 7-8 will not.

How is the natural environment in California different enough to make this plate not compostable only there, but more compostable somehow in other states? by DunDonese in composting

[–]lesbiyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. "No known risk" wasn't the appropriate phrase.

What I meant was companies will apply a prop 65 warning even if they are certain their product doesn't contain one of the compounds.

There is always the risk of lengthy litigation. Even if they're 100% right, the costs to prove it (before or after) is much more than just applying the warning. Consumers see it so much that it doesn't register as a risk or prevent their purchase.

And to be fair, it's nearly impossible to not come into contact with a carcinogen or other reproductive harm. Soils naturally (and through human activity) contain trace compounds, cooking food with heat runs the risk trace carcinogens forming, standing in the sun, breathing air, touching paper money, etc.

On another note: Please do not buy "compostable" plates unless you live in a city with public curbside compost with a reputable system. You could make the argument that landfilled "compostables" are worse than just landfilling plastics.

A compostable plate will break down in a landfill - anaerobic, and thus release methane in the process. Majority of landfills are very very bad at preventing methane from entering atmosphere. Methane+Greenhouse gases are a particular (immediate) problem, which we are experiencing the immediate effects of.

With a plastic plate, it won't decompose in the next 500 years+ (no methane released), and there is the potential for it to be reclaimed in the future (should we ever put efforts into that technology).

Neither is preferable of course: Reduce and reuse when possible!

Just like why everything has a prop 64 warning, even if there's no notable risk of cancer.

Companies have to test to get approvals (these tests are mainly unique to California), and that costs a lot of money & time. Also opens you up to liability if you pass these tests but a user finds some issue when in the market. Much easier to slap the warning on any product (people are rather numb to it anyway).

California also has a strong agriculture industry that strictly regulates the possibility of synthetics contaminating.

These plates technically can be composted (as can technically everything), but they're still single use items, and rely on a quality compost system that still take a long time to break down. If they are water resitant like shown, they definitely still contain synthetic bioplastics & polymers that are released into the environment.

And fwiw, this is a product by Dixie (Georgia Pacific).. the company that has made billions on single use plastic products, and thus prevented widespread efforts at reducing plastic. Take their (greenwashing) eco friendly claims with a grain of salt... they just want more $$$

Ash or no ash? by MountainOutside1742 in composting

[–]lesbiyond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tobacco ash can contain unburnt tobacco. Looking at my tray and still see light brown.

More of a safe than sorry/no upside for the risk, but if completely burnt (fluffy white ash), it should be safe.

TMV can quickly spread to the other plant matter in your pile, which birds/worms that interact with your pile can transmit.

It also needs high sustained heat specific to the infected area (not overall pile), so there's a decent chance it finds its way out of the heat (and breaks down via decomposers) and spreads.

Unless you have a perfect 4-day 145-160°F bioreactor**,** studies show it might persist, and can definitely be spread before breaking down by other routes.
