Am I the only one who does not believe Trump's relationship with Russia is souring at all? I feel like this is just another lie set things up for something else later.

I don't think that is the flex he thinks it is.

Was it a critical flaw or was it simply ignored despite being well known?

I remember watching footage of the LRV's they used on the Apollo missions and thinking that the "sand" looked really lightweight. I also remember reading that one of the complaints from those missions was that the moon dust was really fine and seemed to get into everything.

I have a feeling someone who worked at NASA proposed this as an issue and leadership ignored their concerns.

Duh

Try to think of how a bad actor might use what you are suggesting to steal someone's identity. The trouble with any identity verification system is not just how inconvenient it is, but also how criminals will try to abuse the system.

Some kind of entity would have to be in charge of storing and verifying the DNA data. Once that database is created, there will always be the potential for exploitation. Also consider what happens if, or more likely when, that entity changes hands and is run by new people with new agendas? That might not work out so well for the people in that database.

The government has my fingerprints and my drivers license photo. I am not interested in sharing that with any for-profit company. I would be even more resistant to anyone wanting to collect my DNA regardless of the reason.

Plastic is still plastic regardless of the source. As this advertisement clearly states, very little plastic ever gets recycled. This is 100% greenwashing.

While I mostly agree with this, I have one significant hurdle I am unable to overcome. What other choice do I have?

I can't stand most Democrats. They suck! But they are a far cry better than voting Republican. And voting for a third party feels like wasting my vote.

If there was a third party candidate that focused on climate change and social issues and had even the slightest chance of winning, I would vote for them in a second. Until then, I am stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.

It's because their religion has taught them to trust religious leaders without question. They have faith that the church knows what is best for them and their community. They tend to not use critical thinking when it comes to religious matters.

People often have a similar faith in their parents judgement. If Mom or Dad asks them to do something that seems foolish, many people will still do it simply because of the unquestioning trust they have for their parents.

Did I just get Cold-rolled?

With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

Not a scientist, but I am wondering if maybe beryllium could be found naturally in the soil?

Another thought: Wikipedia says that the gemstones emerald and aquamarine contain beryllium. Thousands of houses were burned in the fire. Maybe the source is burned gemstones in the houses?
