Are diy filters effective at removing smells or only removing the measurable particles?
artvark11··on Scientists tracked down a mass killer of salmon
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.

Does anyone actually believe that though? The us government and corporations have a long history of lying to the public.

artvark11··on Christchurch shooter was radicalized on YouTube, New Zealand report says
>conspiracy theorist

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.

artvark11··on Tech elites leaving San Francisco threaten Silicon Valley's supremacy
God no, please don't move to rural areas. They don't need more people.

artvark11··on CIA Document from WikiLeaks Sheds Critical Light on U.S. Politics and Wars
"the swamp" that Trump likes to describe is the network of nonelected federal employees that have hold the real power.
artvark11··on CIA Document from WikiLeaks Sheds Critical Light on U.S. Politics and Wars
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.
artvark11··on Over Half of U.S. Young Adults Now Live with Their Parents
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.
artvark11··on Over Half of U.S. Young Adults Now Live with Their Parents
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.

artvark11··on The Race to Crack Lithium Ion Recycling
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.

artvark11··on E Foundation – deGoogled unGoogled smartphone OS and online services
I like Waze because it tells you where speed cameras and cops are. I've used osm+ and maps.me before. They are decent but google maps and Waze have much better routing and directions.
artvark11··on E Foundation – deGoogled unGoogled smartphone OS and online services
How well does it work with Waze? That is the only app keeping me on stock Android.
artvark11··on Google Is Testing End-to-End Encryption in Android Messages

artvark11··on Ad block and you don't stop

artvark11··on Hacker Nearly Stole $8M from Aussie Hedge Fund Using a Fake Zoom Invite
I have been waiting for this to happen. Any service that normalizes clicking a link in an email and encouraging the user to immediately run an autodownloaded executable is a giant security issue.
