"Leery"? I don't think that word means what the writer this it means.

This is fine.

i love when scientists take a swamp of arbitrary language terms and decide to impose some arbitrary specific meanings on them for purposes of their specific discipline and then convince people who don't really get how language works (i.e. most people) that the definitions are authoritative. it's fun to watch the cognitive dissonance when this collides with actual usage and people get all angry and righteous.

why don't all our cars look like catfish?

that's really fucked up. don't get me wrong, i'm not judging you, our culture has probably fucked me up the same way as you, i just dont happen to have kids. but not preparing kids for the real actual world is fucked up, and there is a serious disconnect with reality being instilled by our culture in them, and also in you to make that happen. my point is that it is a serious dysfunction in modem culture required to make happen.

everything my parents ever did.

that's kind of awesome. the inverse of your story is what ive seen more often, the promotion that is more work for no more pay. both reflect the same corporate dysfunction.

laptop is just a more expensive desktop but it lets you do what you'd do on a desktop from the couch, bed, deck, coffee shop. it all depends on your habits.

note that this damage is not necessarily in the form of dissolving. it causes some plastics to develop fractures, as if you had dropped it. dont use iso on plastic unless you know it is a kind that it is safe for.

BTW, i just just want to plug for this fact: we are all totally brainwashed by marketing that we need special cleaners for each specific thing. dishsoap or some general purpose soap like Dr bronners and water works fine for just about everything.

How does one write an article like this without ever once giving any detail about the nature of any of the image manipulations? Those could range from pretty innocuous to blatantly desceptive. The entire significance of what they are writing about depends on this.

yeah looks like carpet beetle to me too. no bueno, you'll get holes in clothes and things similar to if you had moths.
