Health-threat âforever chemicalsâ removed from water with 3D-printed ceramic ink
âEngineers have invented a new way to remove health-harming âforever chemicalsâ from water â using 3D printing.
Researchers at the University of Bath say their method, using ceramic-infused lattices (or âmonolithsâ), removes at least 75% of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most common perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), from water, and could become an important tool in future efforts to eliminate the chemicals from water supplies.
Their findings were published this week in The Chemical Engineering Journal.â

âTesting of the monoliths has surprisingly shown they have become more effective under repeated use â they undergo high-temperature thermal âregenerationâ treatment after each use. This is something the researchers are keen to understand more fully with further experimentation.â
If a website could be sure none of their users are malicious/bots and all of the users are perfectly rational and virtuous then public or private voting wouldn't matter either way. That being nearly impossible, why not a reputation based system like Stack Exchange? Only when an account meets certain requirements they can vote.
To boot, on the website tweakers.net one can actually vote -1, âŚ, +3.
- +3: âSpotlight comments are of such high quality and substantive value that they clearly stand out above the restâ
- +2: âInformative and interesting comments that are a useful addition to the discussion in an on-topic thread or the information in the articleâ
- +1: âNice on-topic responses with knowledge that is common knowledgeâ
- +0: âComments that do not contain a relevant contribution, but are posted with good intentionsâ
- -1: âFlamebaits, trolls, misplaced jokes, unnecessarily hurtful comments and other comments that violate our terms and conditions or house rulesâ
A hammer is a tool because no one but the hammer merchants gain financially if everyone were to buy a hammer. Cryptoâcurrenciesâ are not purely tools but instead multi-level marketing pyramid Ponzi schemes because as soon as one has it they have everything to gain the more people buy it after them.
âThirdly, early adopters mine or buy large proportions of the total supply at negligible costs while late adopters mine or buy negligible proportions at large costs. It follows that holders immediately have every incentive to get as many people to buy after them. Like stocks? Like stocks, but without the dividends or anything tangible in the real world [10]. Congratulations, you got yourself a pyramid scheme â .â
ââ The stock market has largely become a pyramid/Ponzi scheme as well since most of the money does not exist and profits come from buyers or new entrants, i.e., the greater fool [16].â âMoney corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely, https://www.cynicusrex.com/file/cryptocultscience.html
It gives credence to greed incentivizing unethical contraptions.
Immoral baskets that incentivize greed are to be avoided.
Then they should transition away from multi-level marketing pyramid Ponzi schemes too. I deleted my Protonmail account when Proton began peddling cryptoâcurrenciesâ.
What does the acronym SO stand for?
Lies, as in that it's not really âblockingâ but a mere unenforceable request? If you meant something else could you please point it out?
Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?
Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?
I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second accountâbecause Duty Calls*, of courseâand I'm considering doing the same.
However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?
Unfortunate indeed.

Had it happen to me too. They'll refund you for this. Just be polite when asking for it.
My review on the Play Store: âPremium is a scam. Hides likes which come from all over the world (clickfarms?) even though I set my radius to 5 km. But of course they only show you the fake likes (all of them) after one pays for premium.â
Thanks for the share, had no idea. It felt so nice that I already added two contributions to OpenStreetMap.

I can't disagree with what you quoted, nor state that it is a good argumentâit isn't, as was already pointed out and which I do agree with. I'm emphasising that they are not saying âthe bombings were not as bad as people thinkâ.
I'm just addressing the fuss that's being created. They are clearly not saying âthe bombings were not as bad as people thinkâ, but the headlines and articles make it seem so.
By doing this we are using the same spurious tactics as they are. Inundating people with blown out of proportion news like this will desensitise them to step into action when it will actually be warrantedâthe boy who cried wolf.
They spew tons of misinformation/disinformation/fallacies that should be addressed instead.

âFever feels bad. So we take medication to suppress it â but is this a good idea? It turns out fever is one of the oldest defenses against disease. What exactly is a fever, and how does it make your immune defense stronger? Should you take a pill to combat it?â

Wear protection and do daily exercises that strengthen your overal physique. If you indeed practised Brazilian jiu-jitsu then you already know how to fall, therefore you're less likely to be hurt by trivial stumbles that would hurt other beginners completely new to any kind of intensive sport.
Fair point. I should've made the distinction. But in any case, nuclear power plants aren't bad.

- The Safest Source of Energy Will Surprise You, spoiler: nuclear energy is the safest.
- Titans of Nuclear, nuclear energy podcast. If you watched the series Chernobyl, I highly recommend this podcast's five dedicated episodes expanding on the misinformation it contains.
- Nuclear Energy, Zondag met Lubach.
- We have a solution for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel.
Not defending these two unethical bullies in general, but on this particular paragraph they are totally taken out of context. It is obvious that they are not downplaying the atrocities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but merely stating that nuclear energy is not bad since people are already living there again.
