Microplastics reach even 2,000 meters below the ocean surface, study finds
Plastic pollution has become a global environmental crisis, with an estimated 11 million tons of plastic entering the oceans each year. As larger plastic debris breaks down into microplastics, these tiny particles are transported throughout marine ecosystems by ocean currents, threatening marine life and ultimately entering the human food chain.

Reducing microplastic exposure: the four habits we should all be prioritizing | The Optimist Daily
Scientists have found microplastics in human brains, blood, and placentas. Here’s what the research says and the practical steps worth taking.

NASA: Mikroben können tagelang am Südpol des Mondes überleben
Wenn Menschen wieder auf dem Mond landen, bringen sie zwangsläufig Mikroorganismen mit. An bestimmten Orten könnten die tagelang überleben, besagt eine Studie.

From rivers to mangroves, microplastics are contaminating the Amazon
MANAUS, Brazil — On June 20, a 50-member team led by NGO Asas de Socorro and Rede Reviva walked about 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) along the shoreline of the Puraquequara Lake in eastern Manaus during a garbage-collection effort. When the activity finished covering a stretch of beach on a lake with a water surface estimated at 20-25 km2, […]

@… What kind of microphone are you using? Built-in microphones on laptops usually are pretty bad.

I am not a big fan of the capacitive paddles on the Morserino M32 Pocket, or indeed capacitive paddles in general. I want mechanical keys, preferably of the single-paddle type.
Many months ago, I re-modeled the official M32 Pocket case — which Hans adopted as the official case that he ships, specifically so that I could mash it up with my single-paddle key design. Then I took a long time …
