  • Activated carbon does absorb lead because it has a variety of binding sites that will bind to lead ions. The problem is, those binding sites are limited and will get quickly used up if you’re having to actually deal with any significant amount of lead and if you have other metal ions (like copper) trying to compete for binding sites the whole profile looks worse. This means if you’ve got hard water with a ton of competing ions, the filter will likely do dick for lead. So the Brita filters do do something, but if there’s an actual utility to what they do in regards to heavy metals depends on the water.









  • It’s not even don’t get in. They’re rigorous institutions that have a marginal difference in competitiveness. They just make you take a class on those dumb manipulations. In the end it doesn’t matter if you went through DO school or med school: if you’re shit you’re not getting matched into or getting through residency. And the key part is both sides of that pipeline compete for the same limited residency placements that are significantly fewer than the number of graduates and are judged the same.


  • I don’t think the console market is okay for a variety of reasons. This particular issue however, not being able to publish whatever the fuck you want under someone else’s brand, is very much not high on them. The other reasons, the anticompetitive nature of the industry, is what makes it a problem. Most certainly not someone deciding they don’t want their product marketed with fucking around with corpses.

    And relieving the developers of the agency of their own vision is specious. They made a decision. Obviously this new direction is within what they’re trying to deliver or they wouldn’t be doing it. The most salient point here is that the amount of changes they seem to be making are negligible. Dismemberment of living people fine, dismemberment of corpses gone. They claim they’ve preserved their vision through limited changes. Everybody else is playing like the loss of that is a fundamental betrayal. It’s fucking ridiculous.

    The liberal brain, gentlemen. Tou Thao was convicted for keeping bystanders from intervening while not doing anything himself. He might’ve been less worse, but he still deserved to go to prison. And he remained unrepentant to the end. Of the four cops he got the second worst sentence despite never laying a hand on Mr. Floyd precisely because he refused to admit any culpability. It really is a good comparison, seeing this comment.
