Inspired by one of the projects I worked on where I had to create something similar. There was a library already out there (mentioned in the readme) but it was restrictive and didn't do all that I needed it to do. Opened this up to the world now so feel free to give any advice or contribute!

I think it's messed up that soaps shampoos and other items are even allowed to contain micro plastics when we know the damage they cause.

You can have water under high pressure that does not freeze at 0 degrees, as it would at atmospheric pressure. It's because there are phases that water has behave differently under different pressure and temperature. Water behaves very differently at different temperatures and the same goes for Lanthanum (the metal used to create the superhydrate, or whatever its called). At room temperature the metal just does not bond to as many hydrogen atoms as needed to create the superconducting latice (the paper goes of the model that metals that can bond to >6 hyrogen atoms per host molecule are good candidates for room temperature superconductivity) so we have to do it under extreme pressure.
The traditional way that superconductors have been made has been to lower the temperature near absolute zero to get the metals into that a superconducting phase. What these researchers are trying to do is prove a model that suggests that there are metal compounds with superconductivity at near room temperature.

Yep the article itself mentions that the tests are done in the anvil

Insular behavior like this will eventually leave the USA in the dust. China is redoing their entire energy infrastructure and while they probably wont move off meat any time soon at least they have that going for them. Most of Europe and the rest of the Anglo-sphere will happily move to plant-based proteins and completely leave that industry behind. When some of the leading industries in the US are just not exported whats the status of that country going to be.

Say that you want to record meeting minutes from now on and will be recording important meetings to summaries later. If people aren't comfortable with that ask them not to attend and they can be briefed later. Eventually, that will get to annoying and they will just start attending the meetings.

At least the discussion in the comments is better argued.
