Probably because the bulk of the products tested were likely kids toothpastes.
Lead Safe Mama community members nominate products for laboratory testing and then the LSM community uses crowd-funding (including through GoFundMe) to raise the funds to cover the costs related to testing and reporting of these nominated products. This is how the toothpaste and tooth powder products listed in the chart below were chosen for testing, and how the testing and reporting was paid for.
It really depends on the garment. I've rarely ever ironed my clothes, only random occasions where the item I want to wear got wrinkled and I didn't have the time to fix it any other way. I've also never had a job that required anything fancier than business casual, so that could be part of it.
Have you considered that you could be bisexual/pansexual?
So nothing actually exceeds current federal limits, and only a few exceed recently enacted state limits. Why do I have the strange feeling that nothing's actually going to change?

Ditto. My original account was on kbin.social, so it's not like I even have the option to use it anymore. I'm sure plenty of people started out on one of the big, general instances, then eventually moved elsewhere.
The vibration on one of my phones is so weak that I basically never feel or hear it, including when the phone is in the pocket of my leggings (so pressed against my thigh) or sitting on my wood coffee table. I can't find an option in the settings to adjust the vibration intensity.
I don't believe they actively intended to exclude anyone, but there is/was Dull Men's Club, and I believe they've recently rebranded to "Dullsters".
Yeah, the low cost spay/neuter clinics around me are booked solid and have been for years. I had to book mine 2 or 3 months out, and it wasn't even a true "low cost" clinic.
Looking at pricing at regular vet clinics, spay can be $500-700, and there's extra fees if she happens to be in heat or pregnant when your appointment finally rolls around, and it's not clear from my brief search whether those prices include anesthesia, pre-op blood work, etc. The low cost clinics range from free to $120 for spay.
Awesome! Indoors will help a lot to keep them warm and safe from predators and disease. In my region, most rescues say they have a minimum 2 week lead time to accept any new animals, so if you're able to get in touch now and let them know you're willing to foster them until they're ready for spay/neuter, that often helps a lot to secure a spot in their program, and they might even provide you some supplies.
Sounds to me that you might be a great addition to the local foster team, and then you could take in new kittens once the current ones are ready for homes!
I have a little family of 3 kittens right now also! :) Mine are fosters and probably about 2.5 weeks old.
Have you helped raise kittens before? Since they have their moms, it will hopefully be pretty easy and pure joy for you, but things can still go wrong, and it can happen super quickly, so it's great to have some emergency supplies on hand. Do you already have spay/neuter arranged for all of them? Happy to help any way I can!
Ugh, I indirectly feel your pain. I don't have the issue with cold, but just didn't enjoy the touch controls on any earbuds I've tried, so I'm stuck using my older, slowly falling apart earbuds with inline controls. The earbuds have a wire connecting the two buds, and there's a little lump of plastic along the wire with 3 buttons, but there's no wire connecting them to the device. Short press turns volume up, down, pause/play. It also has functions mapped to long press and double press for things like next/previous, assistant, and I forget what else.
It's super hard to find any headphones lately that are Bluetooth, but still have a wire connecting the two ear pieces, and therefore a spot for the inline controls. I have no clue about the quality of these, just linking as an example of the style that has worked well for me: https://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Rechargeable-Bluetooth-Microphone-Isolating/dp/B01KU7EYZO
Is there a name/title/source for that image? I was searching for it recently and couldn't find it anywhere, so THANK YOU for posting it today!
