I think some of y'all are missing a lot of packaging use cases other than food. But even in the food sector, there are dry things like pasta, beans, and rice that don't have salt in them. If it really is as strong as a petroleum plastic for these items, it could eliminate tons of micro plastic.

Sorry, no specific tips. Maybe there's a browser plug-in that makes it easy to whitelist websites in a search? I would pay for a search engine where actual human people regularly vet the websites included in it for factual information and unlabeled AI use.

The front trunk is a safety feature called a crumple zone and is objectively safer to be in a crash with.

*compared to other plants.

They are associated with less carbon emissions per kg than eggs. Normally the real issue is that we're exporting the ecological impacts, but if people are importing eggs, avocados are probably better of both fronts. Source

I personally use flax as an egg replacer most of the time.

I wouldn't say it's famously flat, but it's pretty flat and definitely not in the mountains. It's next to lake Michigan, which is one of the "Great Lakes".

Online table top RPGs. All of my (mostly male) gaming buddies are feminists, and they help me be less lonely. You can play for free with very little effort.

Are you saying that because a heavy duty, highly specialized, utility vehicle, doesn't have a crumple zone that the Slate truck is a bad design?

In my view the Slate truck is designed as a work vehicle. It's for people who need to both hual things, and have a place to store tools. It's trunk is perfect for that.

The Kei, and box trucks that we have in the US (which would have been a way better example for you to use.), are great for delivery vehicles. Jobs where you load things up and come back with an empty truck.

There's a place for both form factors. The Slate is not a bad design, it just doesn't fit what you think the use case for a small truck is.

Look up Saturn plastic body panels. The hood, roof, and top of the trunk we're still metal.

I had one as my first car. I got rear ended once, and the plastic parts were mostly fine (a little paint chipped off), but the metal top got bent. The trunk itself worked and I never fixed the metal.

Edit to add: the car was made in 1999, I think I bought it in 2008 and had it for about ten years. I got rid of it because the electronics were getting gremlins. Neither the paint on the plastic or metal panels had issues except for the mentioned fender bender.

Any hardware or tool store will have some. The only place you'd have to worry about getting fakes from are online stores. But even then I'd imagine it's pretty rare given how cheap the real ones are.

Section. 2. (a) From the link above says that responsibilities of the DoE will be transferred to the states in a way that maintains the services Americans rely on.

I'm doubtful that they are going to do it in an organized fashion though.

I hadn't heard that. I guess imperceptible grey is just as good.

Yeah, there's not an exact analog that can do absolutely everything that a chicken egg can. But there are analogs for just about every use case individually. There's even fake hard boiled eggs. The flavor wasn't quite right, but the texture was spot on. As far as I know there's no way to imitate a skillet egg with an uncooked yolk.

How do you think we get to the point where a researcher can get funding to do actual peer reviewed research? In the state the USA is in they won't until something like this gets the publics attention.

I've never heard it pronounced like that, and I live somewhere notorious for bad pronunciation. Is there another similar word pronounced like him-all-ee-an in your local accent?

I'm not a geologist, but I think the planes that typically fly upside down, are significantly lighter than 400 tons.
