  • This article smells fishy. Another commenter mentioned the source not being reliable. But the whole concept of “drawing to a plan to invade Greenland” sounds off to me. Remember the US probably already has detailed campaign plans for something like this.

    Part of responding well in a crisis is planning the response ahead of time. In a military context, that means wargaming and campaign planning. I expect the US military has offensive and defense plans for a wide range of situations. That likely includes everything from options for offensive actions in China to plans for defending a conventional invasion from Canada.

    To be clear, I’m not picking on the US here. Every professional military in the world is going to do this sort of preparation. Part of a prepared military is having a plan of action in rapidly developing situations.

    Unfortunately that’s a stereotype that holds up way more often than it should. Women often end up taking on a huge domestic load and/or caretaker load in a household, even if both she and her husband are working outside the home.

    There are couples that never fall into this or that actively try to balance domestic and caretaking activities. One set of tools I know about is “Fair Play”.


  • I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. Do you have slow or clogged drains that you’re trying to fix? Or are you just trying to dispose of them?

    If you have a drain problem, I think drain cleaner is supposed to be safe for modern pipes. But if you have old cast iron drains, it can eat through them.

    If you’re trying to dispose of them, look up how your town wants you to dispose of hazardous waste. Some places will have a specific place and time you can drop off hazardous chemicals like drain cleaner.

    (If you’re trying to dispose of it and don’t have access to hazardous waste removal, it is possible to neutralize the drain cleaner and safely dispose of it. But if you’re asking these sorts of questions, you aren’t qualified to do that. For anyone who might be qualified, don’t forget your PPE 😅)
