Plastic In The Microwave, Is There Really Any Danger To It?

plastic in microwave

The majority of plastics can withstand microwave radiation and won’t break down nor melt. If you are buying commercial products, you might be able to find “microwave safe” symbols on them, which I think look like three squigly lines. Essentially, if you’re buying plastics that look like they were designed for storing food, then they are microwave safe.

Generally, for a plastic to be safe in a microwave it can’t react with the food, leach out components in the food, or decompose. A lot of storage containers such as plastic butter containers, sour cream containers, etc., can either melt or decompose. This also includes water bottles- don’t reheat water bottles if you want to be safe. Also, plastic bags from the grocery store should not be placed in the microwave.

Davis came clean about her allegations after state agents confronted her with multiple inconsistencies in her story. They also obtained cellphone records that showed Davis made Google searches that included the phrase “can you go to jail for lying about a cop raping you.”

Modern Man Is Mentally Overstimulated, Physically Inactive And Overfed

Photo by Suraphat Nuea-on

“Modern man is mentally overstimulated, physically inactive and overfed. Rely on meditation, exercise and fasting to restore your natural balance.”

I heard this quote by Naval Ravikant and it really stuck with me. I have lived by these words the last month and my personal progress has been astonishing. My mental clarity, energy and confidence have exploded.

– To counteract mental overstimulation, look over your mental diet. Minimize screen time and social media and be selective with what you allow into your mind. Take time to reflect, meditate and disconnect from all external input for some time daily.

hummer burns down after hoarding gas

Hummer with four containers of gas bursts into flames right after filling up at a gas station in Florida

Despite officials urging the public to not “panic buy” gasoline, a 2004 Hummer H2 is now burnt to a crisp after the owners were reportedly loading it up with extra gas.

Worry started to grow earlier this week when the Colonial Pipeline was forced to close due to a hack.

Firefighters say one person was injured but refused to be transported for treatment, against medical advice. They did not say what the injury was nor how severe.
