Honestly I wouldn’t sweat it. It’s more something that seems gross than is actually going to make you sick. Pretty much ANY high traffic surface in public is gonna have way more pathogens on it than something in your house. And breathing the same air as your roommate is more likely to get you sick than touching something that they’ve touched. Still kinda gross though.

Yep, I’ve always thought that. It’s actually very sneaky of health officials, they are exploiting people’s perception of how filthy going to the bathroom is to get them to wash their hands more. Ends justify the means I guess…

Delicious! Finally, some good fucking content.

Those would be harder too though. Right now we humans don’t have a material strong enough and the higher the gravity the stronger the material you would need.

Should have just used bleach if they don’t care about it actually being a viable treatment. Or, for that matter, we’ve already invented spermicidal foam…

I was a donor to that project, and right now I think there are still concerns about the long-term reversibility. The project isn’t dead but I doubt we will see it as a readily available option for the public within the next decade, if ever.

He is also not eliminating research, a lot of research projects are closing but this seems to be more of a re-org.

Some jobs will change and some employees will be asked to move to new locations, according to a March 31 email that Thomas M. Schultz, Jr., the Forest Service chief, sent to employees of the research and development section.

“The consolidation of research stations does not mean a retreat from the agency’s research mission,” Mr. Schultz said in the email. “Forest Service R&D has produced world-class science for over a century, and that will continue. The consolidation is about organizing the research enterprise more efficiently, not diminishing it.”

Yeah this is more of a re-org than an elimination. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/climate/forest-service-research-stations.html

Still seems like it might cause problems but it’s not the catastrophic change some people are making it out to be. And the Forest Service isn’t just a bunch of tree-hugging conservationists their mission is basically the sustainable exploitation of US forests. So for that reason they are very important to industry.

Yeah it is highly exaggerated.

The regional offices are being replaced with 15 state-based offices.

Same with the research program.

Yeah that’s pretty misleading. The regional offices are being replaced with 15 state-based offices.
