So far, we know microplastics enter your bloodstream and can mimic hormone responses and contribute to infertility. We also know that microplastics can permeate the blood brain barrier.

Generally, we know it’s bad, but not how bad. I’m assuming it’s our generation’s version of lead.

I ended up switching to Ubuntu, as I found networking with UFW (universal firewall) a lot easier to control, then I run Windows in a VM as needed.

This is what the articles mean when they say that the poor will bear the brunt of climate change.

Can’t afford to abandon your home and start from scratch in another state? Good luck being homeless.
