“Law enforcement officers typically have fairly broad leeway to place someone in handcuffs during an interaction if they believe that it’s necessary to protect themselves from harm. In those cases, they can do so even if the person being handcuffed hasn’t been arrested.”

Handcuffs do not mean an arrest.

Some people take tabs vs spaces too seriously.

Was he arrested? I don’t see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what’s going on.

I’m unfamiliar with Mac programming but that looks normal. Do those function calls become absurdly long when used?

Here’s one I found on Google from the jdk:

InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonPainter

Yes that’s not a typo, internalframe is repeated.

It’s java. Extremely drawn out method names is it’s calling card.

Unfortunately that’s everything. Netflix, buying groceries with a credit card, even driving your new car.

That’s what happens when James Cameron gets his knowledge from Ray Kurzweil.

Burned DVD’s or mass manufactured? Purchased can last forever although aluminum substrate corrosion has happened in humid environments.

Verbatim is still around. They still say, “Up to 100 years”. 10 years is up to 100 years.

Play the lottery. You could win up to $1M dollars.

You don’t have to keep the sub. Pay $10, convert the files, unsubscribe.

USB sticks are only rated for 10 years. So you should only expect 5. Physically they will last much longer but the electrons leak out of the floating gate unless re-written.

10-15 years for DVD. I have extensive experience with DVDs. I don’t have experience with Blu-ray but I would expect it to be half the rated lifespan too.

DVD’s will last about 15 years tops. I bought the highest quality 100 year rated AZZO dye DVDs. I used special tools from cdforums to make sure I burned at the speed that resulted in the lowest pi/pio errors rate ( the errors you don’t normally see because they’re corrected in drive). The ideal speed isn’t the slowest or fastest based on the drive and the media. I stored the DVDs in black dvd cases in my temperature controlled basement.

They all started having errors after 10 years.

That still means you have to find a source that’s not contaminated. Given it’s even in Antarctica, that’s going to be a challenge.

1. Where? https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/16/2127/2022/

2. You are going to pay hundreds per bag to send it for testing?

Doctors are understaffed and underpaid because insurance is taking all the profit.

Hydroponics are done with plastic components. I’ve never heard of hydroponics done with glass.

The micro plastic is in the dirt. Most commenters here think microplastic means a bit of plastic that broke off packaging.

Microplastic are plastic pieces that you need a strong microscope to see. They can be as small as bacteria.

I don’t think you understand the physics of the problem. Have you played connect 4, the game with the checkers that you drop down a slot?

Imagine the black checkers are dirt particles and the red checkers are microplastic. The game set with the slots is the filter the particles drop through. Play a game and then open the slider at the bottom to dump the checkers. Do the red checkers stay in the game set while only the black fall out? Of course not, because they are the same size.

There is no possibile way to filter the plastic because it is the same size as the dirt in all its different sizes. There are large and small dirt particles. There are large and small micro plastics. If you remove 1% of the microplastic you remove 1% of the dirt, so the remaining dirt is just as contaminated. You didn’t filter it, you only removed an equal amount of dirt and plastic.

I don’t think you understand how small the particles are. You can’t filter micro plastics out of soil because the micro plastics are the same size as the soil particles. Take a bucket of sand and dye half red. How are you going to filter it?

There are methods to destroy micro plastics like raising the temp. But that will kill the bacteria in the soil making it sterile.
