Without this kind of progress described (meaning reutilising, refining or reprocessing lithium), mining might become even more brutal to keep costs down for investors and corporate buyers, but remain ever more expensive for consumers.

Marginally lower cost over 500 possible cycles under ideal conditions… this does not take into account other pollutants it may cause or the human element. Still, very positive as a total, as this is a resource a way hitherto untapped (unless you count risky social media innovatives who almost burn up their homes making lithium batteries from vapes and whatnot).

And using it to promote right-wing ideology, conservative issues and against solidarity.

Thank you for saving me from searching it up.

I retract my statement. I confused the parliament with their other house, I should know better.

But wòdka has no place in politics.

I hope we hear their gorgeous opera before Earth is ushered away like a hill next to a planned highway…

Accuses? Points out, more likely.

Yep. ”Ooh, this female looks nice… free food and then sex!”

Well done.

Anyone who has had guppies knows they’re already all about treachery and greed (for food and sex).

It depends on the country, facility and age of the foetus. In a hospital setting it’s almost always medical waste as far as I know, but some people choose burial or strew the ashes in a special place after an abortion/miscarriage. If it’s a medical abortion it’s a non-issue, usually flushed.

Stem cell research is based on controlled origins, such as embryos from IVF, scientific volunteering, egg donations or similar procedures.

At first I thought ”Well, duh!”, but the manufacturer having a remote kill switch when he network blocked his vacuum from sharing his home map data with them, as well as unprotected root access when connecting to the vacuum… urgh.

The engineer says he stopped the device from broadcasting data, though kept the other network traffic — like firmware updates — running like usual. The vacuum kept cleaning for a few days after, until early one morning when it refused to boot up.

After reverse engineering the vacuum, a painstaking process which included reprinting the devices’ circuit boards and testing its sensors, he found something horrifying: Android Debug Bridge, a program for installing and debugging apps on devices, was “wide open” to the world. “In seconds, I had full root access. No hacks, no exploits. Just plug and play,” Narayanan said.

Shaun of the dead.

So…

1. Do you always have deadlines?
2. Do you have time to have breaks (preferably with coworkers), at least two separate apart from lunch (one before lunch break and one after)?
3. Do your coworkers always talk about work during those breaks?
4. Bathroom breaks do not count, and you shouldn’t anyhow bother colleagues with feelings during bathroom breaks.

For 2 and 3, yes, it’s normal to talk about emotions and feelings, as long as you’re not overshadowing other peoples need to vent.

For 1, get a different job if you’re not constantly striving for heart attacks, kidney failures or brain strokes.

For 4, I was going to make a very dumb joke, but… change work place.

Yeah. Sigh.

Holy hell, that’s a kind of joke that hurts too much to be fun. Nothing bad against Estonia, I have family there, but their correctional facilities are not up to good standards.

No, ”the stick” IS rehab, schooling, counseling etc. Or it should be. Prisons in Sweden are rehabilitation oriented, but putting hardened criminals together with kids is not the right approach.

Many of these kids have been groomed and then hooked on drugs like Tramadol, so that a small reward like a nice e-scooter, designer shoes or money has overrun their already lacking sense of consequences.

We have had kids who got sent into substandard rehab facilities and got murdered for refusing to commit murders. So before the law change sends more kids into limbo, we desperately need to have solutions for rehab in place. Which we lack.

Yes, I entirely agree, which is why I am adamant that this should be fixed before the law change sends more kids from troubled circumstances into a hell hole with no options.

Before they change the law, they should deal with the issue that we don’t have enough rehab facilities for young offenders. And those facilities that we have don’t meet the requirements of current laws and regulations.

We can’t put the kids in prisons with hardened adult criminals. These kids need rehabilitation, help with getting free from drugs (many get hooked on Tramadol and other drugs when they start working with gangs) and schooling so that they can be integrated back into society when they’re free again.

And it still isn’t.
