'Bout time (for adjustable font size)!

“This study has identified intermediary molecules that are critical for us to ensure the PFAS molecule is completely destroyed, and to ensure no harmful byproducts are formed,” he said.

Co-author from Colorado State University, Professor Anthony Rappé, said, “This international team effort is illustrative of the collaborative environmental work that CSIRO leads.”

The ultimate goal of incinerating PFAS is a process called “mineralization.” This converts the strong fluorocarbon chains into inorganic compounds like calcium fluoride, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water.

These byproducts can, in turn, be captured at the source and transformed into reusable materials such as industrial chemicals, concrete, fertilizers and fuels.

While further research is needed, these insights offer a promising option for destroying PFAS safely, and for good.

PFAS occur in a range of consumer, industrial, and commercial products, such as non-stick food packaging and cookware, and legacy firefighting foams.

The chemicals can leach into soils and groundwater, travel long distances, and do not fully break down naturally, giving them their moniker of “forever chemicals.”

Awesome! So this is true annihilation with no harmful residue. There is hope!

So, does this mean more spectacular crashes given the ATC issues?

Actions speak louder than words.

Well, then I trust my own ability to not fall prey to such blackmail and would rather omit the scanning for battery life’s sake. So yes, I’m nitpicky (if that’s the conclusion).

Interesting, this is my first time learning about Jan, and frankly, it looks better! I think I’ll pivot…

Neither; both of these are downloaded for offline running on PCs only. Androids aren’t typically powerful enough for any meaningful offline AI.

FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt: the paranoia over the topic is needless and you don’t have to take any action.

I disagree with this view and did replace SafetyCore with the dummy placeholder .APK, personally.

Ha, yeah, though at least it allows potatoes to run it! I wonder how smoothly the textures could be remade…

I just discovered it last night so I’ll need to find out!

Then try: https://gpt4all.io/index.html

It won’t be strong, though. I’d just probably use DeepSeek but restrict questions to generic ones, like how to build a spreadsheet formula or something. Don’t ask for life advice lol; do that here in [email protected] or [email protected].

Here’s what you can trust: https://lmstudio.ai/

Otherwise, only ask it generic coding questions that any student studying your topic would, and then there would be nothing to distrust over.

The fact that this kind of bill even needs to be introduced is just appalling.

I don’t suppose that (after everything else recommended here) I could just watch those individual episodes you named and skip the rest, huh? Haha. Also, to be fair, the friend who recommended those shows hasn’t watched Lower Decks, I think, which does have a high Rotten Tomatoes rating. Thanks for sharing.

That’s because it’s only a Band-Aid that isn’t permanently defeating your anxiety; it just stops it when you’re high, but it’s not feasible to simply be high all the time. That’s not a solution. You need to learn to manage and reduce your anxiety without relying (at least, so regularly) on a mind-altering substance—ideally, without any of your mentioned drugs.

And if it matters, I’m pro-marijuana, but mainly for physical pain and fatigue. Based on my observations, using it for anxiety is a trap (unless it’s for temporarily through-the-roof levels due to a specific situation, like a breakup or family death or something)—though, to be fair, it’s still better than alcohol or even worse stuff out there.

I’m guessing it’s talking about non-canon/retconned works, huh?

I, too, look forward to its legalization! Frankly, it’s alcohol that should be banned, but I know we’ll never have that…

Have you beaten FTL on Hard yet?

frequently using marijuana for anxiety has similar drawbacks to frequently using medications like benzodiazepines

That’s because users almost always take too much. One should never smoke anything (you can’t measure any dosage this way), and one should always cut things into pieces: cookies, brownies, edibles; even ¼ of a gummy is often enough. People severely underestimate how powerful this stuff is. It’s medicine and should be respected as such.

Isn’t “thought provoking“ is kinda the whole point of sci-fi?

Of good sci-fi. I heard ST:Picard missed the mark for many, for example.
