But per capita, China is pumping way less greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than the USA. And much of China's industry only exists to sell cheap goods to Western countries.

China also built more high-speed rail in a decade than the US has in it's entirety. Not to mention how fast they're producing electric cars and solar panels.

They would be pleased to know that now, 40 years later, we are releasing record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. #progress.....

The only thing that's like GTA are the publisher and the controls/movement. I've played all the GTA games and it's a totally different vibe.

Reddit has the same issue. People will post an article in like 6, somewhat related subreddits and the feed would be quite repetitive.

 

Truly a masterpiece in film making. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.

Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.

Imagine hiking/camping somewhere nearby, immersing yourself in nature, when a fucking military jet falls out of the sky and crashes near you...

As someone who does R&D testing on plastics that are used in medical devices, I have some insight. Of course the type of plastic matters, but all plastics use carcinogenic chemicals during the manufacturing/extrusion process.

To make most plastic, a polymer resin is mixed with additives such as solvents, plasticizers, and stabilizers at high temperatures. Ideally, you want the additives to evaporate out during production so that you're left with just the newly formed plastic.

But some of these additives get trapped in tiny air pockets between polymer chains. When they're reheated, the polymer chains relax and release the volatile, carcinogenic additives into the air.

This is likely where the toxicity is coming from, not the polymer chain itself. So regardless of the type of plastic used, reheating the polymer during 3D printing will release some volatile additives.
