The south of France beats Montana all hollow.

Have I not become the container?
Microwaving plastic only makes matters worse; both the shedding of microplastics and the leaching of chemicals become more likely when plastic is heated. Some of the key endocrine-disrupting chemicals in modern plastics are Bisphenol A, better known as BPA, and a class of chemicals known as phthalates. Both chemicals help to make plastics more durable and sturdy, but they can also interfere with the body’s hormonal communications. BPA in particular is known to mimic the functions of estrogen. As a result, consuming phthalates is associated with health disorders including high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, while consuming BPA is associated with kidney disorder.
Unfortunately, with ever-tightening federal budget con- straints, there is a lack of funding for the research necessary to provide a definitive scientific base for any national exposure standard.
The main concern for me is the leakage before the energy reaches the antenna, exposing workers that think they are safe.
I'd like to know at what temperatures these chemicals become part of my body.
Please note, there are "feelings" in the above statement.

The middle and south of France beat Nova Scotia on weather too, not on natural scenery though.

As you can see, the great white north ain't so north when compared to Europe! Places like Finland are installing lots of solar too!

I heard a story on NPR about replacing the limestone in concrete with another type of stone. (I can't remember what show it was, or how long ago I heard it) They say it's the same concrete, just a ton less carbon.

I usually post stuff like that to the renewables thread, but since it concerned global food production, I figured here was a good spot. I'll leave this thread to the weather and more natural approaches to fixing climate change and put the tech in the thread about what is being done about climate change. We have little choice but to try and there could be many economic benefits and money makes the world go round. There are major policy and geopolitical fights over it now with America vs China because there is big money and future energy independence at stake.

Limestone is fine if the kilns to make clinker are not hydrocarbon-fired. Setting concrete absorbs as much CO2 as was released by the kiln.

So just curious what you guys think about this.
We are only going to get about 70% of the lawsuit monies that we were supposed to get from the PG&E fire lawsuit. It is supposed to make us whole. 70% because they filed bankruptcy.
Should we pay taxes on this? Is that right?
I hate republicans but Doug Lamalfa introduced a bill a couple years ago and it went no where. Was supposed to hit the house floor and then McCarthy got fired. Word is it’s being reintroduced.
What do you guys think? Should this be taxable like regular income?

The lawsuit money is mostly to make up for the lack of insurance coverages and for people who didn’t have insurance

Since insurance proceeds are generally not taxed as income, this directly takes the place of such proceeds. So, still no.

Unfortunately until a law is passed, we owe taxes on it.
State taxes no. Thank you Newsome for signing that.

Sounds to me like a doable lawsuit. At least it may win time for that law to get passed.

Right!
But here we are waiting on an act of congress to not have to pay taxes on it
It’s fucking crazy

Regarding temperatures, my gut call is “way above body temps” for the polymers.Have I not become the container?

The phthalates however are reactive at our temps.
The bit of good news is that BPA has been aggressively unformulated from household plastics.
