Consider that for high-risk groups like child-bearing women, FDA flags 8.8 mg/day as a risk level. Prop 65/Consumer reports uses 0.5 mg/day (3.5 mg/week), which is an impossible standard. So this graphic looks terrifying, but is actually below risk level *for high-risk people*. Let's all calm down.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Jew me, sue me...
Kick me, k*ke me

We have a nazi government.

A reddish-brown bull stands alert on a green grassy field, its curly coat slightly tousled. The cow faces the camera directly, with yellow ear tags visible, and a backdrop of soft-focus trees and overcast sky suggesting a cool, calm day in the countryside.
