- Comment on How to fix this crack in the shower wall? 6 days ago:
Coworker of mine had a plumber drill a hole in the wrong place, so now he had a tile with a hole in it. Plumber got someone in to fix it with colored epoxy. Says he can't see where the hole was.

I'd say lead lingered longer than asbostos though.

At this point you should just tell us what message you're trying to convey, and then we can simply say "you're right" and be done with it.

There is literally a picture of a vending machine in the article
True. But that picture is like those AI videos on youtube today where the thumbnail doesn't show up in the video. According to this article, those vending machines were banned in 2004 and the trade in used panties was driven to specialized shops.
Edit:
that was one person, not a pattern of behaviour by the masses
Does this count? - Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
It also doesn't seem to mention vending machines, but specialized shops or online selling. It's still gross, but it's also not unthinkable that this could happen in western countries. There was for instance an English internet personality who sold her used bath water a few years ago.

- Comment on At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic? 2 weeks ago:
Some examples I've seen recently:
- Guy was sceduled for cardiac catheterization in four days because he wasn't feeling well (he had a history with heart failure). Still drank seven bottles of beer at a birthday party.
- Long haul truck driver brings a tray of beer to work so he can drink a few after work when away from home.
- On a city trip a guy brought beer back to his room so he had something to drink there, even though he was attending bars when not in his room.

- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 3 weeks ago:
Though I get what you're saying, someone who had their sex changed on their passport has already decided dealing with the gender dysphoria has priority. It's not like it's a quick decision (contrary to popular republican belief), and it's never been easy to be trans in the society so every trans person will consider if coming out as trans is worth it. A lot of those who do feel it's either that or death.
- Comment on Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...? 3 weeks ago:
How about chickens? If you have some hens without a rooster, you've got good chance that one of them will "transform" into a rooster. Especially if you had a rooster but it died.

- Comment on What kind of resistor is this? 4 weeks ago:
I've looked at the manual again, and it seems to me you could do a drastic thing and drill a hole through the PCB in the place of the old component where you could put an axis of a different v-resistor through. This could then be connected to the board with wire.
- Comment on Researchers turn spoiled milk into 3D printing materials — extracted proteins from dairy waste combined with polymers to create plastic alternative 4 weeks ago:
They are also suggesting polymer waste. The thing is, nobody is going to build a plant to make this if one of the raw materials isn't readily available. So you'd either need to make sure that there's always polymer and milk waste available, or you need a back up if it isn't.
- Comment on Researchers turn spoiled milk into 3D printing materials — extracted proteins from dairy waste combined with polymers to create plastic alternative 4 weeks ago:
Basically. Also, we'd have to think about the ethicality of keeping cattle for plastic production.
- Comment on What kind of resistor is this? 4 weeks ago:
Do you still have the component? You could try repairing it, there's a youtube video where your last picture came from.

- Comment on Gen Z’s Tony Hawk is Tony Hawk 4 weeks ago:
I don't know what part of the world you live in, but the late 1980's and early 90's were wild, the whole eastern bloc fell in 1989, there were revolutions in the Philipines, South Korea, South Africa, and dictatorships in Argentina, Paraguay and Suriname elected democratic governments.

- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 5 weeks ago:
I was born in 1975, and during the eighties a nuclear war was always just about to happen. I can't tell you what you should be doing, for the most we just lived with it. What helped was there was no 24/7 news cycle back then, so maybe try to block out the news to maintain a healthy consumption level?

- Comment on 19 'mass extinctions' had CO2 levels we're now veering toward, study warns 1 month ago:
Right, or soldiers as they see themselves as the leaders after the collapse. They're actually putting a lot of effort into figuring out how to stay in charge of their security force among other things. Here's a nice article explaining some of this if you're interested.
- Comment on 19 'mass extinctions' had CO2 levels we're now veering toward, study warns 1 month ago:
They won't, at some point money won't matter anymore. They think they've got it figured out with their bunkers in New Zealand and Hawaii and where not, but I don't see them having the skill set needed to survive in that scenario. They just think they do, having gotten rich in IT and being surrounded by yes-men ever since.
- Comment on Are we truely prisoners of our upbringing? 1 month ago:
In my view and understanding, genes define the potential, environment defines the realization. I mean environment in a broader sense though, I read some time ago that for teens the friend group has a bigger influence than the parents, who's impact on development is close to zero at that point.
