About ten years ago I found and ordered a glass bottle with a fitted silicone lid. It’s not tight enough that the bottle can be tipped upside down without the water slowly dripping out, but it’s great for keeping stuff out.
I always wanted to see a company make a glass bottle with silicone top that was completely leak-proof.
I think it’s for anti-tampering purposes. Imagine the consequences if some bad actor tainted those pills with something or replaced the pills with another.
I sure hope so.
I don’t disagree with you. People assumed I was against this but I was highlighting the fact that Russia is going to be more aggressive as Ukraine gets closer to being part of NATO.
This is going to piss off Russia something awful and escalate tensions big time.
Jfc people are gross
Still, how much micro plastics are we not getting from plastic cups, bottles, door wrapping etc? Too much lol
Yeah, that’s the thing! It’s near impossible to quantify not only the number and size of plastic particles being released, but also from what sources and how impactful it is on our health over time. There are so many variables involved.
I like the idea of the guppy bags, but honestly we need strict government regulation around the world to make a real difference in stopping plastic and PFAS pollution/contamination.
Glass is by far superior but shipping it is more costly and results in more breakage.
All aluminum food and drink containers still have a plastic liner in them to avoid corrosion. Still way better than fully plastic containers for most uses though.
So here’s one (potentially major) issue with these bags:
While the bag catches a lot of microplastics, it is also leaving a lot more in your clothes because they were washed and contained in that bag. Where do those loosened microplastics on your clothes go? Either into the dryer (or outdoor line-dry) and expelled into the air, or you indoor line-dry your clothes and release more microplastics as you wear your clothes, breathing them in as you go about your day.
So people would essentially be paying $35 a bag to slightly improve wastewater at the expense of increased air pollution. If you indoor line-dry those clothes, you put your own health (and potentially the health of those around you) at greater risk.
The only non-polluting solution at this point is to not buy, wear, or launder any plastics-based fabrics. This includes polyester (a lot of people apparently are unaware of this).
I believe there was a study that plastic bottle cap seals release tens or hundreds of thousands of plastic particles upon breaking open, however I don’t think they would be visible to the naked eye. More likely you are seeing dried up particles of whatever liquid is inside the container.
When Roku took all four of my set-top roku devices hostage a while back with their forced Terms of Service update, I threw them all in the trash and have warned people against using them since.
Roku is a garbage ad company that will continue to use your devices against you.
If I hurled an 1100-pound object indiscriminately into the air, the government would hunt me down and put me in jail for years.
But nothing will happen to the government or corporation responsible for this.
I often don’t like it when customer service people say this to me if I have been waiting to resolve an issue that is the company’s fault, because my waiting is barely a choice; the company screwed up and now I am ‘forced’ to spend time getting it resolved.
Only apologize or thank me when it’s personal and sincere. (The size of the business matters a lot in if the apologies or thanks feel genuine.)
This should be teaching us to work at the local and state levels to change the political process.
I hope the next adjuster wears a mario hat in the act, I truly do.

That is amazing!
And don’t forget about track skipping!
Fast Forward…wait…Stop. Play. Fast Forward a little more…wait. Stop. Play. Rewind a little. Stop. Play. “Ehh, close enough.”
My first thought was this, and when I opened the thread your reply was the first response listed as well.
Sheets? For the washing machine? Wouldn’t those require a plastic shell or base like the laundry pods do?
