Gram helped Boulder realize he could wear lipstick, but then Boulder remembered a scene from one romance movie he watched before and put two and two together.

(The lowest point the kissing got to was the neck.)

it’s so hard to explain to people why this show just wouldn’t work if they were all humans instead of animals 😩 my theory is that it opens the door for better jokes and therefore allows for a better balance between gut-punching realness and humor. god i love this show so much

anyway regardless of all that i’m a sucker for gijinkas/humanizations so here we are LOL

06-07-23 Why Patagonia helped Samsung redesign the washing machine

Samsung is releasing a wash cycle and a new filter, which will dramatically shrink microfiber pollution.

Eight years ago, Patagonia started to study a little-known environmental problem: With every load of laundry, thousands (even millions) of microfibers, each less than 5 millimeters long, wash down the drain. Some are filtered out at water treatment plants, but others end up in the ocean, where fibers from synthetic fabric make up a surprisingly large amount of plastic pollution—35%, by one estimate. Fragments of your favorite sweatshirt might now be floating in the Arctic Ocean. In a collaboration that began two years ago, the company helped inspire Samsung to tackle the problem by rethinking its washing machines. Today, Samsung unveiled its solution: A new filter that can be added to existing washers and used along with a “Less Microfiber” cycle that Samsung also designed. The combination makes it possible to shrink microfiber pollution by as much as 98%.

[…] Patagonia’s team connected Samsung with Ocean Wise, a nonprofit that tests fiber shedding among its mission to protect and restore our oceans. Samsung shipped some of its machines to Ocean Wise’s lab in Vancouver, where researchers started to study how various parameters change the results. Cold water and less agitation helped—but both of those things can also make it harder to get clothing clean. “There are maybe two ways of increasing the performance of your washing machine,” says Moohyung Lee, executive vice president and head of R&D at Samsung, through an interpreter. “Number one is to use heated water. That will obviously increase your energy consumption, which is a problem. The second way to increase the performance of your washing machine is to basically create stronger friction between your clothes . . . and this friction and abrasion of the fibers is what results in the output of microplastics.” Samsung had already developed a technology called “EcoBubble” to improve the performance of cold-water cycles to help save energy, and it tweaked the technology to specifically tackle microfiber pollution. “It helps the detergent dissolve more easily in water so that it foams better, which means that you don’t need to heat up your water as much, and you don’t need as much mechanical friction, but you still have a high level of performance,” Lee says. The new “Less Microfiber” cycle, which anyone with a Samsung washer can download as an update for their machine, can reduce microfiber pollution by as much as 54%. To tackle the remainder, the company designed a filter that can be added to existing washers at the drain pipe, with pores tiny enough to capture fibers. They had to balance two conflicting needs: They wanted to make it as simple as possible to use, so consumers didn’t have to continually empty the filter, but it was also critical that the filter wouldn’t get clogged, potentially making water back up and the machine stop working. The final design compresses the microfibers, so it only has to be emptied once a month, and sends an alert via an app when it needs to be changed. Eventually, in theory, the fibers that are collected could potentially be recycled into new material rather than put in the trash. (Fittingly, the filter itself is also made from recycled plastic.) When OceanWise tested the cycle and filter together, they confirmed that it nearly eliminated microfiber pollution. Now, Samsung’s challenge is to get consumers to use it. The filter, which is designed to be easily installed on existing machines, is launching now in Korea and will launch in the U.S. and Europe later this year. The cost will vary by market, but will be around $150 in the U.S. The cycle, which began to roll out last year, can be automatically installed on WiFi-connected machines.

Girls will literally relive their deaths over and over again and suddenly awaken from death to take revenge on the woman who killed them and play fucked up experiments on them and be like "I'm fine. I saw a deer yesterday."

Origin of ginseng

Ginseng has been discovered since ancient times, with a history of more than 4,000 years. Ginseng originated from the tertiary period of paleontology. Due to the arrival of glaciers in the Quaternary period, the area of ​​their distribution has been greatly reduced. Therefore, ginseng is an ancient relict plant and survived a variety. It is rare and valuable, and is recognized by the world scientific community as a special species. Efficacy of precious medicinal herbs. The earliest origin of Chinese ginseng is only the Changbai Mountains. The appearance of ginseng in the Changbai Mountains of Jilin has been more than 1,700 years ago. The medicinal use of human ginseng artillery originated in the Three Kingdoms period, more than 1,600 years ago. There are many folk legends about ginseng in Changbai Mountain, Jilin. The ginseng culture in Changbai Mountains of Jilin has a long history. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in the poem "Second Rhyme Zhengfu Travels with Baishui Mountain": "The first one went to the Shao Shi of Yushun's style, and the second one went to the Sixth Patriarch to go to Nanhua. People's elixir is not my own." Su Dongpo called ginseng an elixir, which shows that in ancient times, literati and writers wrote ginseng into poems, and it was passed down. Su Dongpo also wrote in "Zanshen": "Shangdang is the ridge of the world, Liaodong is really at the bottom of the well, Yuanquan pours into the sea, and white dew sprinkles the sky." He praised Changbai Mountain ginseng as sweet dew, like sweet wine, let People are refreshing. There are many folk legends and stories about "stick and mallet" and "samsung girl descending to the world", and these legends have become an important part of the folk culture in the Changbai Mountains of Jilin Province. Ginseng has a long history of medicinal use. According to research, it was recorded in the "Ji Jiu Zhang" by Shi You in the Han and Yuan Dynasty (33-48 years). The cultivation history of ginseng can be traced back to the late Western Jin Dynasty, more than 1600 years ago. Ginseng is divided into wild ginseng and domestic ginseng. Wild ginseng, also known as wild ginseng, is mainly distributed in certain areas in eastern Asia, with a small amount in China and Russia, and has disappeared in Japan and North Korea. Home-grown ginseng is also called artificially cultivated ginseng. China is mainly distributed in Jilin Province, Liaoning Province and Heilongjiang Province, with Jilin Province being the largest. Its planting surface and output are more than 85% of the country and more than 70% of the world.

I was watching a TIKTOK video about a trafficking tactic. Saw someone in the comments mention a scanner on cell phones for trackers for air tags.

I have an Android, and went to my settings to see of I had a scanner and I DO!

Go to Settings-> Click Safety and emergency tab-> Click Unknown tracker alerts-> Click Scan now to do a manual scan!
