Headline is not exactly wrong, but if you read the article, hand and dish soap is not recommended because they’re not formulated as pesticides and efficacy can be hit or miss.

Undocumented visitor, so I’m assuming no visa. Was working illegally and not paying taxes.

Still received treatment instead of being deported. I feel that’s fair that he has to pay for the treatment.

No. The lump sum payment option is $600 million-ish. You would only get the $1.3 billion (pre-tax) if you take the annuity option.

Akshually, hieroglyphic writing have components that allow you to determine the pronunciation of symbols.

Emojis do not (unless they are tagged with meanings in the metadata to allow for searching, but these are typically not visible). They are more like Chinese characters in which the meaning is encoded but pronunciation is not.

Sir, this is the internet. Morons will still complain about broken things in public forums even if you make them click through multiple dialogue boxes and popups with warnings in flashing text.

Crazy how many up votes this article has. It’s like everyone is just agreeing with the headline without even bothering to check.

We already tax profits from pharmaceutical companies and invest in research into these exact things. Which sounds like exactly what you want? They’re even installing new waste treatment equipment to help solve the problem in Montreal.

You make it sound like it’s trivial to invent new drugs that are more biodegradable to replace existing ones, but it really really isn’t.

Wtf are “biodegradable meds”?

It’s more like we need to spend money figuring out better ways to treat sewage to remove substances of concern. That includes medicine but also stuff like PFAS and microplastics.

So biological facts are now cringe?

The summary misses that the baseline seems to be around 7.5% pre-pandemic. So we have almost 3x the number of people working from home now versus before.

If buying a MacBook Pro is giving you a hard time, I can’t imagine what kind of meltdown you would have trying to pick out a Dell, HP, or parts for a self build.

If you had RTFA, the top searches were for older iPhones. Also, this is about search queries with the highest revenues for Google and not about trending search queries among young people.

But please continue your ranting about how young people and their priorities are messed up.
