Baby powder is just ground Talc (a type of rock), how the hell do you fuck it up so badly that you end up making it carcinogenic?

Anti-caking ingredients.


Do they even take smartphones at pawnshops?  I certainly don't see them at thrift stores.  Probably because it's too much trouble (and not-inconsiderable technical know-how) to factory-reset some archaic piece of technology which is practically worthless due to planned obsolescence.

This isn't even anti-Apple, this is all smartphones.  They keep forcing updates that "improve" the UI, non-consensually, and coincidentally they make older phones run slower.  And literally yesterday I've got my mom telling me that her phone is "wearing out" because it's slow to respond.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Corollary:
"Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by profit motive."

I think it's usually Ebay and more modern versions. Or classified ads.

The major carriers will usually send continuous signals to kill the battery of older phones and make them unusable while they're receiving signals. That used to be illegal, but lobbying.

No, not anticaking ingredients-- that is usually just silicon dioxide.

No, the carcinogenic properties of baby powder come from the OTHER mineral present in the rocks Johnson&Johnson sourced to make the baby powder out of--- Asbestos.

synthetically prepared talc (which is basically just magnesium silicon oxide) would be 100% free of such a dangerous impurity, but would be many times more expensive than ground up rocks (that contain trace impurities of asbestos).

Pigs can be grown in much less space and consume plants root, stem, and leaf.

Be a vegan but also eat bacon - save the world. Or just eggs are fine.

Also most vermin - though I would reckon most aren't halal or kosher.

Bugs are a delicacy here - which means food-grade ones are expensive. Drives me nuts, because I would like to try cooking with bugs.

Eggs seems to be the most efficient protein source.

Makes sense really, it's literally their job to be an efficient source of nutrients for developing embryos.

I'm going to add this to my list of names for various breakfast cereals, previously only occupied by weirdos.

And also they seem to have the best relation of production per kg of feed.

Chicken feed is soy, though, right? May not be as efficient as we think.

Back in the days, farmers mixed the eggshells (and their own finger and toe nail clippings) back into the chicken feed for their chalk needs. Oyster shells don't seem a very efficient substitute.

It's what we've got!  I can confirm Wierd as if he needs it.  The chicken feed has a little corn-material, here and there, but it's mostly grit that looks like egg or cartilage.  But who am I to say that that isn't shellfish?

Edit:  I meant eggshell.  And I coulda sworn some of them bragged about containing shellfish, as if that's a good thing - maybe it is?  I don't know what chickens need!  I'm just feeding them!
