Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
Some companies need to learn that silence on a matter is better than obviously contrived excuses.

They had to have meant heart shaped right? A hearth shaped rock would have been too big for a kid to take home, or if it was small they would have called it rectangular or something.

I bet you live much closer than 1500km to a river or lake. Many of those bodies of water have public trails or sometimes even little sandy beaches. You won’t find shells but there’s plenty of other cool stuff to search for like the perfect skipping stone or walking stick, or a rock with a really cool color pattern, or mushrooms, etc. There’s something inexplicably restorative about spending time in nature near water.

The money and fame that Bilbo acquired through his first journey already attracted unwanted attention. It was one of the biggest drawbacks to adventuring.
- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 9 months ago:
Rada makes some pretty decent metal spatulas if you want specific recommendations.
The blade part is way thinner than plastic spatulas. Now that I’m used to the stainless steel ones, I feel clumsy and inept when I have to use someone else’s nylon spatula.
- Comment on Plastic tea bags 9 months ago:
That’s a little hyperbolic. There’s a lot of mechanics at play in generating microplastics. Fabrics have microscopic thin threads of plastics. It should be no surprise that rubbing up against thousands of tiny strands every time we move and wash synthetic fabric clothes releases many tiny particles. Plus clothes have to deal with UV degradation.
The plastic components in an RO system should be spelled to not leach plasticized. They should have smooth walls and laminar flow. There shouldn’t be much to abrade the plastic surfaces and shed particles. They may not be perfect, but water from an RO system will have orders of magnitude fewer microplastics. So an RO system still “does something about it.”
We do need to address the problem, but I wouldn’t want people to avoid beneficial remediation just because it has some plastic components.
