Sorry, I think it would be more idiomatic to say:

LAX Approach, Canadair Charlie Golf Bravo Eight Niner, sorry: requesting long approach. thanks eh, Over.

But that's just my two cents as a Canadian eh.

Yes

My father trimmed his eyelashes once as a child in the 1950s. Precisely because he was told they were beautiful/cute.

He used his granny's manicure scissors. He does not recommend it.

Ahh yes sexual harassment for hire. Great idea. Maybe we should have an MMA experience we can order for our foes too.

Thank you for teaching me about rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it has been playing a role in my struggles, but I didn't know it.

I agree with you that it's not a major concern and is a fad/ panic. We don't know what the effects are because they are undetectable. I think it's maybe boosted by people that want to keep the green minded people spinning their wheels instead of making progress on climate change.

My point about the lungs was just that if something is inert it doesn't really matter what chemical it is, but it could still be harmful. I'm trying to show that I'm open minded to the harms of micro plastics but still wholly unconvinced that microplastics are worth even a fraction of the attention they're getting.

Isuppose you're right that there is not a strict definition but I've never spoken with person that didn't understand microplastics to mean something like:

micro particles

(too small for a person to notice ingesting but visible with a magnifying glass or optical microscope)

of [solid but easily deformable] hydrocarbon polymers [intended] to be biochemically inert/benign.

Health agencies have historically adjudicated whether particular hydrocarbon polymers are safe for human exposure based on biochemistry (ie are they poisonous?). Assuming that if they were biochemically inert they're safe. But obviously it's unsafe to fill your lungs with inert particles of any size... you'll suffocate. So is it a problem that our blood has unprecedented levels of inert micro particles? It's probably not good. How much can a person ingest before serious issues?

Nobody really knows. Maybe microplastics cause autism, I don't think anybody knows. We'll probably have to do some heinous animal trials to figure it out. And look how much time I've spent talking about something other than climate change.

Can you elaborate?

I think his complaint is that he lives outside the boundary (on 61st at 5th) but that because of one way streets he is forced into the tolled area even if he wants to go the other way.

One of the challenges is that little is known about the impact of microplastics on human health and the toxic effects that may vary depending on the type, size, shape, and concentration.

I think everyone agrees that microplastic accumulation is not good, but how much effort should we dedicate to eliminating them. Like if we banned plastic food packaging, but used something that increased the risk of food poisoning by 0.001% would that have a net positive impact on our society's health?

DISAPPOINTED!!!
