@OrbitStudios @RodKahx I don’t blame Trudeau, but Doug Ford made some very intentional policy changes that have directly harmed me. He passed and defended Bill 124. He gutted rent control. He got rid of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board in the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

@DisabledDoctor @karenk_____ Interesting…🇨🇦

@MrsHoegLaw I really like cloth napkins. You could use it to line something like a tote bag and put - more durable fabric on the outside.

@jonathanstea This is giving me hope for my astrology-loving mum.

@MattDelport @simonmaechling You’re treating scientists as charities who are required to help you just because you lack the relevant education and experience. No actual legitimate scientific debate has taken place by someone making a claim and someone else telling them that they did a google search.

[Carrie @statsigfig]

@MattDelport @simonmaechling The way that your initial question came across was that you believed a guess-engine over an actual chemist. Improving the tone used when asking people to help you by explaining science that you are less familiar with would make them more inclined to help, instead of laugh at you.

@ChrisCillizza That you were at Starbucks and the person in front of you didn’t want the richness of 2%?

@MattDelport @simonmaechling I’m happy to explain my logic, but I don’t need a source. I have the requisite background.

[Carrie @statsigfig]

@MattDelport @simonmaechling In case you were unaware, AI is just guessing with added randomness. You can’t cite AI as a source and expect a serious reply because you’re asking people with years of knowledge and experience to argue against a magic wand that will change its mind if you re-ask a question.

@mzgreen66 @meg_Y12 @BadMedicalTakes A super/max tampon would only absorb 40-50mL of water, at most.

[Carrie @statsigfig]

@mzgreen66 @meg_Y12 @BadMedicalTakes No. Those are just the sizes of the boxes they’re sold in. I was curious, so I tried measuring them when I was at the drugstore. That’s not even close to the fluid absorption. 40-50mL of fluid is tiny. That would be 1” by 1” by 3”, at most.

-someone who doesn’t know what any of those letter mean, probably

[Carrie @statsigfig]

@mzgreen66 @JenniGoldsmith @meg_Y12 @BadMedicalTakes That’s just how AI works. It guesses. It gives the same results in metric. Tampons are nowhere near absorbent enough to hold that much liquid.

@4EverALostGirl @damnitmadeline I mean, my mum couldn’t have stopped me if she’d wanted to, so *shrug*

[Carrie @statsigfig]

@MeetJess *waves* It makes me easily recognizable, which has its benefits.

@RyanMarino @jonathanstea I got a copy to pass around to friends and family.

@JenniGoldsmith @mzgreen66 @meg_Y12 @BadMedicalTakes I’m assuming that the AI summary took the box dimensions, but listed them as the actual product dimensions.
