How about "U" -- "Unstudied" If there's no money to study a supplement, it doesn't get studied. Or maybe "unmonied", because the particular studies the governments want cost $$$.

Most doctors today will tell you NOT to take iron, especially if you are a man. Apparently iron has been associated with various health concerns.

Note that it's the oil industry, not environmentalists, that are blocking the facility. The article doesn't say what standing the oil industry has, nor why the State, not known for environmentalism, is objecting.

The U.S. seems to be on track for the worst of two worlds -- increasing nuclear use (mostly through small reactors), while not addressing the nuclear waste. All but one of the "swimming pools" associated with the 93~ nuclear reactors are filled with waste. Some waste is being moved apparently to concrete vaults. This is not a good permanent solution.

There’s a website, I can’t remember the link, but any text you search can be found to have already been written on one of its pages.

It's The Library of Babel

You can type up to 3200 characters in lower case. With a short sentence though, the "title" and page number may be longer than your original text!

Edit: Fixed url title

Changing it into soap does change it chemically. It becomes just like the soap you use every day.

Because it gives economic value to plastics, helping to pull them out of the waste stream.

Biden can't win the election without Harris.

Keep in mind that U.S. elections are not popular elections. You have to look at key swing states. Technically, none of the other 43~ states matter much because their outcomes are already statistically pre-determined. It doesn't matter how much people like Biden in California or New York, if he loses key states. For instance, Hillary Clinton had twice as many popular votes in California as Trump in 2016. But those extra 4 million extra votes didn't matter to the outcome because California is just one State.

For example, Michigan is a key electoral state. It is predominantly a red state. But Barak Obama won it two elections in a row because minorities from the densely populated areas, especially Wayne county, turned out for him. Those same minorities did not turn out when Hillary Clinton ran in 2016. They came back ... just barely ... when Biden ran with Harris as VP. This same story is repeated in Georgia and Wisconsin -- both swing states that usually lean heavily Red.

So, to sum up. It doesn't matter how much people in red states hate on Harris. Their election results have already been factored. What matters is how she is perceived in key swing states. While some red state voters won't vote for Biden because they fear he might keel over, other swing state voters will ... for exactly the same reason!

It makes more sense to hire a professional than to have millions of people owning their own "DIY" Omleggen kit. (Hope I"m using the term correctly).

I read that, decades ago. By James Blish, who turned many of the first Star Trek episodes into books. That was probably why I read it.

And if there's life on other planets, 
then I'm sure that he must know,
and he's been there once already
and has died to save their Souls

Larry Norman, "In Another Land", 1976
