What about something like house insulation panels?

I suppose they should be good as acoustic panels for sound absorption as well [ex1, ex2]. Even if they are much smaller I am pretty sure they could be cut and used combined as sound insulation tiles, and them being of different width, length and depth could actually be an advantage.

 

The Metals Company (TMC) has produced high-temperature material (calcine) from polymetallic nodules at PAMCO's Hachinohe facility in Japan.

An African Union ruling finds that parts of a Congo national park should be returned to the Batwa people, who were evicted decades ago. Advocates say the ruling must be implemented and that the Batwa will need support to protect the park’s rare gorillas and other wildlife.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP in Potsdam, Germany, are creating packaging materials by mixing mycelium with agricultural residues such as wood chips, hemp and reeds. Experts at the institute are working with mycelium from edible mushrooms and bracket fungi, such as oyster mushrooms and tinder fungi.

I thought that:

Neanderthals didn't truly go extinct, but were rather absorbed into the modern human population, DNA study suggests

Modern human DNA may have made up a surprisingly large amount of the Neanderthal genome, a new study finds.

The study, published 12 Jul 2024:

 

Joint press release: 15 aid organisations demand international pressure for an immediate ceasefire, arms embargo, and end to Israel’s systematic aid obstruction

  • 83% of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34% in 2023.This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day. An estimated 50,000 children aged between 6-59 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year. (...)

We must face the hard truth in Gaza: Israel has lost its moral authority - The Hill - 07/18/24

I reviewed thousands of incident reports and tens of thousands of individual data points from several dozen credible organizations, as well as the Israeli military itself, as a part of a nonpartisan task force analyzing Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Our report, submitted to the Biden administration and briefed to Congress, establishes compelling and credible evidence of Israeli violations of international humanitarian law and U.S. military best practices, utilizing U.S.-provided munitions. It shows how the Israeli military has demonstrated a “systematic disregard for fundamental principles of international law, including recurrent attacks launched despite foreseeably disproportionate harm to civilians.”

Over the last five years, over 80 multimillion-dollar Cop City-like facilities have quietly rolled out across the US.

It's the Zionists who are killing children, and what you say is totally antisemitic.

 

Palestinian history and geography were scrubbed from Israeli schoolbooks a decade ago, scholar Nurit Peled-Elhanan says.

 

The latest death toll stands at 41,821 Palestinians and 1,139 people killed in Israel since October 7.

 

The current death toll in Gaza is close to 42,000, but experts believe that figure is likely a gross undercount.

 

Deaths have been reported in Romania, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic

It seems to me you are missing the point.

This is a political suicide. I cannot say that I am for this approach but what I see is a form of protest (and maybe what I think about it is another topic). What is striking to me is that this US-backed Genocide is taking place for almost a year, and due to despair americans are even killing themselves as a form of protest.

And of course there are other forms of protesting. People try to influence politicians in so many ways so the US stops providing guns and arguments attempting to justify it.

If any of the people who downvoted this post see this comment (or anyone else as well, actually), would you mind letting me know what is problematic in relation to this content? Herbalism is a pretty new journey for me and would like to keep learning. From the little I know, what is said in this talk seems legit, this why I am asking.

Looks like the article was removed. I suppose this is a great reminder why it's important to archive a link before posting it, and share the archived link as well.

I agree with your take on many levels. Maybe the percentage looks like it's a quite higher than 0.05% [Nestlé reports full-year results for 2023], but still not enough to really hurt them. I also agree with what is mentioned at the end of the article:

"It's a scandalous decision which sends a very bad message about a climate of impunity: Nestlé Waters can deceive consumers around the world for years and get away with it by pulling out its checkbook,"

I think I understand what you mean, but I see things quite differently.

The problem on this planet is this specific form of capitalism we live under.

Humans are the solution to this systemic problem.

Great you mentioned this, so I just edited the title so the point is clear.

Just finished the first episode and I find it very interesting. Crossposting it to Podcasts.
