Journal that published faulty black plastic study removed from science index - Ars Technica
However, the authors made a math error in their analysis that put their estimate of exposure to toxins from kitchen utensils off by an order of magnitude. Corrected, the article notes that the exposure potential from kitchen utensils is actually less than a tenth of the limit considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency. Further, the study found flame retardant contamination in less than 10 percent of the 203 household products it examined—and only about 8 percent of 109 kitchen utensils.
I did not know that the original paper was retracted

they don't even sell their stocks, they just borrow money with their stock as collateral .. that way they pay no capital gain taxes

A few hours ago, at 10:21 CET, Earth’s polar axis reached its maximum tilt away from the Sun as seen from the northern hemisphere 🌍
There will be a few more seconds of daylight here tomorrow 🌞
Rejoice 👼🏻

@lextenebris Yeah. The end result as I am thinking it through is that I don't want to have the room be a kiln, so I need to limit the heat. (It is a fire elemental trapped in a rock, but I do not want to just handwave 'magic'.) The room should not be a super-heated deathtrap.
Oh golly. I just thought while explaining - there has been one other person down here and they might have messed with the cooling system. Oh boy thank you. (Ahahahahahahah!)

Vertrauen in die #Universitäten #Österreich bei unter 50 Punkte! 😯🤦

Und um noch was draufzulegen... Bundesheer bei 67%?
In welchem Bundesheer waren die Leute beim Grundwehrdienste? Alle die da Vertrauen in unser BH haben, müssen entweder vom Dienst befreit gewesen sein, beim Zivildienst, Untauglich, zuviel Vitamin B gehabt haben oder an Vergesslichkeit leiden und sich nur auf den Katastrophenschutz beziehen....
Es gibt offenbar auch ein paar positive Dinge beim Vertrauen in #Wissenschaft #Forschung in #Österreich: derstandard.at/story/300000025…

in reply to Christoph S • • •Some of the initial claims seemed a bit far fetched.
On one hand we are told that plastic recycling is barely a thing at all.
And then a fairly narrow type of waste is being recycled into kitchen utensils.
Always wait for the hype cycle to calm down.

in reply to Christoph S • • •And since SM drives MSM these days, it got lots more attention than was deserved. I'm all for avoiding the gatekeeping of journals, but the "pre press" unfiltered stuff pollutes as much as it democratizes science.
