The standards include items such as the design of containers that pull dangerous goods on railroads, and the testing for lead in gasoline. Flammibility of mattresses..

when you take money out of your savings account to buy a car, that’s not your bank helping you. The same principle applies with any form of "government assistance", which is something we all pay into.

This is really cool. Researchers used sound to ID several species of marine fish off the coast of BC.
This means that we might be able to use similar techniques for monitoring fish populations and communities, without needing to capture fish in the process. 🐠🐟🐡

Knock, knock, who's there? B.C. biologists identify unique sounds of 8 fish species
There are grunts and growls, knocks and croaks — but the wild sounds detected by a team of British Columbia researchers don't belong to any of the province's famous forest creatures.
The noises are made by fish off coastal B.C.
