Thanks. I actually hadn’t found that faq. There’s another one about multiple toxic metals, but might not be for Corelle

Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up

7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes

I welcome you!

That’s a tough. Normally I would hope there’d be an easy choice, but things have changed really quickly.

I don’t know much about real life in China but every time the current American administration violates human rights or represses science sacrifices our future to line their pockets or attack our friends and allies, it seems like I read about the Chinese government moving in the opposite direction. The direction of “good”, the direction the US always claimed to be. They seem to be making a lot of smart moves for their economic, technical and scientific future, and for larger influence as a global citizen. I have no way to evaluate the current level of repression but they’re at least saying alot of the right things

Sure, but solar panels are an end goal. Natural gas is at best an intermediary goal that also established new fossil fuel infrastructure, and may be much worse for the environment than expected, depending on methane leaks

The cynic in me says way too much of this is simply natural gas being less expensive, with no environmental motivation. And even worse that it doesn’t account for methane leaks

Just keep On, keeping on. One day at a time. Anything for the kids. Then catch up on sleep 20 years later.

My youngest is now at college so I can finally just chill. But I’m “lucky”, he’s been calling me a lot since no one else answers after midnight. Struggling to get up for work reminds me of the good old days of getting up for diaper changes

My grocery store has started carrying “hot dog pitas”! You can fit so many toppings!

(Or really just a lot of onions and chili)

You could even call it windmilling

Under. So the mustard is less likely to glop onto your shirt

It’s stressful and ineffective. Why do that to myself?

It works much better to block marketing where possible, poison data where you can, scrub personal data from the internet. While the beast is too big too slay, a little effort makes it a lot easier to deal with

Reminds me I need to reset mine again. Big mistake to buy a “smart” air filter. I thought I was getting remote monitoring of air quality data, but I have something that makes too many assumptions about your home network so doesn’t work on mine, support that gave up, and a purifier that needs to be reset every couple weeks

It’s not the particular surface that people are concerned about, but more frequent cleaning of that surface might reduce overall dust settling everywhere

Huh, that’s actually reasonably affordable. Looks like $11k-$20k in a brief search. Of course that’s pretty old and these are all high mileage…… but how well do they hold up? How expensive are they to maintain?

My daily driver is an EV, but I always wanted a fun car. I could be that guy in the meme

That would be the greatest day, when comedians mostly do jokes about dems. Imagine punch lines like “and the dem control all three branches”. Or we just love racist jokes, let’s do one about “the first dark skinned president since Obama, har har har”. And get a load of this one, it’s starts with appointing cabinet members for their expertise! What a maroon! And we’ll never get enough of “and then they passed universal healthcare and saved the environment”! LoL

It can’t be that simple since you’d always be identifiable to anyone who knows the trick

I wonder if there’s a technical limitation to the number of extensions. If a number can have six or seven digit extensions perhaps someone could allocate those randomly, with forwarding to your real number

Seems like Canada is making an impact.

It may not be official sanctions but If there’s any credence to the news, it seems like there are movements to fund more reliable trading partners. It’s tough to make an immediate impact but we’ll see over time how much we’ve screwed ourselves. Will Canadian snowbirds come back? Will China (or anyone) buy our soybeans? Will manufacturers, such as for automobiles, be able to stay in business?

Nice. Too many kids have to be prompted to even use the incantation “trick or treat” much less pay attention to the words

Or toilet papered
