At least they're mostly hot chicks.

There are some women (and girls) who are smuggled into the country and have their documents/passports seized, living as sex slaves. They don't get visas. Much of that trafficking has been shut down.

In the 1890s, New York produced ~500 tons of horse manure every day. That's way worse.

I guess Gold Plated Latinum was rejected as too long.

Hmm. I suppose you just has to supply your phone number, SIN, driver's license, residential address, email address and three social media account logins, to enable them to delete your data...

I haven't read this bill. But if it's remotely like the right of erasure pursuant to the European Union's GDPR, it does not apply to data that a data broker is required by law to retain.

Soon they'll make their vehicles so you can use two or more charging stations. In 1999, I told Carnegie Mellon world Lithium Ion Cars were the future, students laughed at me, professors said I was wrong and wouldn't look at my 3 lines of equations.

Hello, I'm part of the reason Tencent was declared a CCP military asset in Jan 2025.
I'm known as one of the top video gamers in human history, many call me #1, proof at Crystalfighter.com I discovered something in League of Legends known as POLITICAL CENSORSHIP QUEUE. China gives you all bad allies if you aren't all for their politics.
Don't laugh, it's scientifically proven by many... 8000 games, 80% bad allies, should be close to 15% or 30%... Other people with 3000+ games like this.
RIot even has a patent known as BEHAVIORAL BASED MATCHMAKING... It's just like the 1960s Soviet Olympic cheating scandals again.

Last I checked, it was a crime in Slashdot's home country to make children's sleepwear out of cotton or other flammable fabrics.

Old hospitals used copper and brass surfaces and fittings. New hospitals use stainless steel. The copper and brass surfaces kill lots of pathogens while stainless steel doesn't. Hospitals should revert back to copper plating.

Or they can just burn it. Or use pyrolysis.

Yup. I can't link it because I don't have time to find the supporting article(s), but I read that c.auris can survive in a contaminated hospital room for weeks through multiple bleachings/peroxide cleanings, UV exposures, etc. AND as the link I did post indicated, it gets all over catheters and other bits and bobs. And in bedding, hospital gowns, basically everything. It's awful for people susceptible to it, and "just another yeast" to everyone else.

Fortunately it does seem that we're slowly beginning to understand HOW it survives, which may eventually lead to some cleaning treatments that could attack biofilms directly. Until then, we have to hope that it doesn't somehow become more-virulent and dangerous to the general population.

Hospitals and doctor's offices are where the sick often congregate. Plenty of people spread diseases to others in waiting rooms etc. Doctors/nurses/etc. do their best to keep these areas clean and sterile, but that's often not possible, especially when certain pathogens (such as c. auris) are resistant to measures that can normally sterilize surfaces.

C. auris is particularly hardy:

I've read some articles in the past that this fungus survives UV exposure, heating/cooling, and broad spectrum antifungal chemical exposure (bleach, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). It's really hard to get rid of in a hospital setting, so much so that it used to be that hospitals that had c. auris infestations didn't like it to be advertised. Most patients won't suffer any I'll effects from exposure, but a few (notably the immunocompromised) can die from it.

Why do people continue to misuse the word "oligarch"? People who wield power due to their wealth are plutocrats. Members of a politburo are oligarchs.
