Fragrances have no place in soap. All they do is make me worry that I didn't do a good enough job washing my hands. If the lavender is still on my skin, then what else got left behind?

yeah I eat rear end posted:SGU was the most recent spinoff show after SG-1 and Atlantis where they tried to modernize it and it sucked really bad. This opinion is entirely invalidated by the presence of Robert Carlyle, who single-handedly carried the show on his tiny frail back He's also largely responsible for Once Upon a Time being on the air for eight years That man is a treasure and I will not hear his work besmirtched

Aren't there disposable pregnancy tests with entire embedded systems in them? Disposable cameras, which are still around and some of them are digital Greeting cards A million different business promo items Pens edit: also cheap plastic children's toys which, while not explicitly disposable, are definitely only intended to be played with once

I still don't understand fancy pregnancy tests There's not even really a reason for the handle to be plastic - the only working part of it is a chemically treated paper strip like a millimeter thick

I mean diabetic test strips, uti test strips, and I assume all others don't have any handle and people manage to have the basic human function to use them without pissing all over their hands I think maybe it's because the actual pregnancy test strips cost like a tenth of a penny to manufacture so bulking them up with a bunch of forever plastics makes people feel better about dropping twenty bucks on one

Privately owned banks can still exist and offer lower rates/more options/better incentives/etc, but every country should be made to have at least one bank that everyone in that country can use for free.

Only lending I can think of directly through the government which isn't immediately sold or held through a bank are maybe SBA loans? I'm not too sure how the whole mortgage stuff works despite having one of my own so maybe I'm very much wrong. Any finance goons know since now I'm curious?

yeah I eat rear end posted:I like just being charged fees for missing payments instead of having my knees broken. Consider that most of societal ills in this century are caused by the breakdown of the familial and community unit. The free exchange of wealth has a lot to do with this, now if we make it so instead of getting a loan through the bank you instead need to go to a patron who can loan you the cash you need, in exchange for helping him do labor, repaying him monetarily, lending him muscle if he needs to break heads, or becoming a patient for experimental procedures. You've then replaced a pure monetary transaction with a social one that deepens the community of people. Now that you've borrowed money from that patron you can consider yourself a sort of kin with the other borrowers and put yourself in contrast with the borrowers and patrons from other places. In effect banning private money lending would quickly revert the increasing social decay of capitalism with healthy and vibrant feudalism, and if we can turn the clock back a little bit past that we can get Rome back, the true goal of any society.

We should be actively working toward global eradication of the mosquito. gently caress the food web; there are plenty of little gnat-like things for the birds or fish or whatever to eat. And as human-caused ecological disruptions go, this one would barely even register. Keep a few breeding populations in (highly secure) labs if you must, but drive them to extinction in the wild. Let's rid ourselves of both malaria and those drat itchy red bumps.

I'm full in favor of going to any extreme for the mosquito final solution. I'll never forget the time I toured a mangrove swamp in the summer. It didn't matter how mcuh spray you put on, those bastards would get you through your shirt, up into your pants...worst bug. You could say maybe don't go into a mangrove swamp, but they look cool and they don't belong to the worst bug.

I don't think you can kill mosquitoes fast enough with insecticide without also murdering billions of life items that we need to not be dead.
