From the linked article within this article: New commuter concern: cancerous chemical in car seats

Some scientists assumed that humans stopped being exposed to the chemical, called TDCIPP or chlorinated tris, after it was placed on California’s Proposition 65 list in 2013. However, it is still widely used in automobile seat foam. The study shows that not only is your car a source of TDCIPP exposure, but that less than a week of commuting results in elevated exposure to it.

I assume, that this conclusion doesn't refer to car seats only. Although this chemical compound had been banned for home usage, people who commute by bus, train or airplane might be exposed to these chemicals too, as the seats are made and use to be in an automotive environment.

“If we picked up this relationship in five days, what does that mean for chronic, long-term exposure, for people who commute most weeks out of the year, year over year for decades?” Volz asked.

It seems that these chemicals accumulate faster than they are being broken down, which puts every commuter at risk in the long term. I wonder what the effects of this exposure might be, since these kind of chemicals are known for acting similar to hormones in our bodies. Could the overall agressive behavior that we witness in our society (roadrage, among others) be - at least partial - an outcome of the exporsure to flame retardend chemicals?

I looked it up. Neat concept, but it is availiable within US only. There is nothing similar availiable at my country - at least, not that I know of.

Did you follow the tutorial I posted? If so, the English-translated part may not have the right terminology. I followed the instructions on the linked website: https://www.404media.co/paypal-personalized-shopping-opt-out/. I suppose, this is appliccable worldwide.

To me, it is. I don't have a credit card - I never got one offered by my bank (...which makes one think...). Back in the "early days" (early 2000s - mostly on Ebay) it was quite common to recieve the bank information of the seller after purchase. Then I had to wire the money to the sellers' account. There was no online banking. It could take up to a week to wire the money. After the seller recieved the payment, the ordered item got sent with postal service. When Paypal was introduced, it was a game changer: the seller recieved the money instantly, and could send the purchased item right away.

Lebensborn lässt grüßen...

How do you do online shopping then? Most websites offer Paypal as a payment method, among credit cards. Or do you pay with a credit card?

Die Begriffe "bayrisch" und "Sonderregel" scheinen immer miteinander einherzugehen, oder?

I bought this one. It has a built-in battery that is connected to the board with a standard (?) connector cable. The mouse can be opened with one screw underneath the gliding pad. I have this mouse for over a year now and I'm satisfied with it. It lasts 7 days with RGB-Lights switched on up to 10 days with RGB lights switched off - depanding on usage. You can operate up to 3 devices with it (BT 5.0, BT 3.0 and wirelessly with the dongle held with a magnet underneath the mouse when not needed. It can be charged with the USB C port. It can be charged while in use. Unfortunately tho, the mouse seems to be out of stock at Amazon. Perhaps other shops have this device listed. I obtained the mouse in Germany.

Edit: This is the mouse opened (I had to clean it because it was operated in a feline enviroment). The battery can be replaced easily:

What kind of toilet paper are you using?

Yes. They are good enough to be watched on a laptop screen (resolution-wise). Also, noone can take those away from you, since I own them. Currently, we (my girlfriend and I) have following collections (all seasons boxes): Star Trek Voyager, Stargate Atlantis, Scrubs, Lost, Futurama, Dinosaurs, My Name is Earl, Dexter, The 100 (1-4), Rick and Morty (1-3), a Bud Spencer Film Box, An American Dad Box as well as several additional seasons, and some more.

However, Compact Discs are reaching their lifetime, especially those who have been produced during the mid-2000s. More and more often these discs have playback issues (they suddenly can't be read), I even had one occasion where discs became brittle, despite being from a brand new box that never before had been played, so they completely shattered when I tried to remove them from the box.

We are downloading some of the box collections (especially those that are damaged) as .mp4 files to store them on a portable HDD drive, because nothing lasts forever.

Not that I know of. I think they automatically use the mask that works "best" while these codes are generated. I have tried some (free) QR code generators and there is no hint that the mask can be choosed.

If you have Affinity Designer 2, you are able to generate QR codes within the software. No need to sign up for a free one. But when creating a QR code with Affinity, there is no option to choose the mask.
