Are diy filters effective at removing smells or only removing the measurable particles?

As a kid, I remember playing at playgrounds made entirely of old tires. Shedded tires on the ground, big farm tractor tires to climb on. Car tires stacked up to form towers. I wonder what impact that had on the thousands of kids that passed through there.

The confirmed CIA operations are enough to make someone a radical. To suggest the US hasn't been in a shadow war with china would require ignoring what our intelligence agencies have been continuously telling us.

I agree that influencing public opinion in forgien countries is a core part of what the CIA does. An important question to ask is: what clandestine propaganda operations does the CIA operate that directly target the American people.

Millennials are forced by law to buy over priced healthcare that subsidizes the dying boomer generations. They are forced to pay into social security,but they will likely never see any of the returns.

No we won't. The only people not having kids is the educated class. There are plenty of poor minorities with many kids. Japan does not allow widespread immigration like the us does.

Re:The Race to Crack Lithium Ion Recycling
on Monday November 30, 2020 @09:03AM (#25253760)
The lie that electric vehicles are better for the environment than internal combustion needs to stop. Lithium batteries will pollute the world. We will exploit impoverished counties and extract their lithium reserves while destroying their environments. We will not clean up when we finish. Lithium batteries will pollute our water supplies here at home when they aren't properly disposed. This is a giant environmental scam promoted to make us feel good about "saving" the earth. I don't believe for a second that corporate democrats care about the environment.
We need widespread renewable electricity generation first anyway. Otherwise our electric cars will be running on coal.
