France votes to ban ‘forever chemicals,’ exempting frying pans
  • It was on Kickstarter which makes me a bit nervous, but I found a set of carbon steel clad pans from a new company called Strata Cookware. They're the weight of something like an All-Clad but with a carbon steel top sheet. Pretty excited to try them out.

  • Redwoods are growing almost as fast in the UK as their Californian cousins
  • They're mostly planted outside of CA but they can survive and thrive in many places!

    It's really interesting how tiny the native range of certain species of plants are, I have a Port Orford cedar in my yard that only natively grows on the coast right at the border of Oregon and California.

  • Peak technology
  • My mom bought a cheap HP printer/scanner several years ago and subscribed to their "instant ink" subscription which was actually surprisingly cheap (like $3/mo) but once the printer stopped reliably connecting to the internet and nobody could print wirelessly anymore with it, she canceled the subscription and HP DISABLED ALL OF THE INK CARTRIDGES. The cartridges themselves have wifi connections so HP can automatically send you new ink when they get low. What a scam.

  • 11-Year-Old Boy Hears For the First Time as Scientists Get Closer to Finding a Cure for Hearing Loss
  • IIRC there's a few novel treatments (one using electro simulation of the tongue) and some new studies on the cause of tinnitus (auditory nerve overcompensating) that may lead us towards a cure.

    Would have to do some digging to find those sources though.

  • European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls
  • It's cheaper to put one screen and write software than spin up manufacturing operations for all sorts of differently shaped custom buttons and the control systems and wiring harnesses that are required to operate them all, so that's why automakers are doing it. Not saying I like it lol.

  • It would be really nice if we had the option to maintain the same layout between the post upvote menu and the comment upvote menu.

    The empty space/right justified comment upvote menu really messes with the muscle memory of trying to upvote something.
