Reply to I am tracking and mapping observations of the mysterious odor and residue that is being reported across the Northeast. While most reports are concentrated in NY, I have heard anecdotal reports of the event in PA since the first night the odor cloud rolled in. by Ashamed-Reflection-9
There was a thread yesterday on the Philly sub about people reporting breathing difficulties. Lots of speculation about early allergens, but one of the posts included a satellite map of carbon monoxide concentrations in our region. Yesterday Eastern PA/NJ/NY was the second largest hotspot of CO on the planet next to all of eastern China, and the plume is forecast to return Sat-Sun:

CO is odorless but I wonder if there's any correlation with other industrial particulates?

We're hardly the #2 manufacturing center on the planet, so that doesn't track.

Holy shit, we're the second biggest hotspot for CO next to... basically all of eastern China? What the hell is going on here?

When you get your car on a hot pan, the road salts will help the Maillard reaction develop a rich umami and flavorful browning on your undercarriage.

It never made any sense to me to have private companies contracted for inherently public services. It's a complete abuse of public trust.

When I first moved here, I legitimately thought they were a scam. A decade later, I know they, in fact, are a scam. They belong in federal prison. They basically commit mail fraud, and they've been ramping up their efforts for the last few years sending blanket letters claiming money owed which is not.

If you look at the experimental design for some of those studies, one of them involved opening up a dog's chest, attaching a pacemaker to the heart to simulate tachycardia, and then pumping various drugs into the dog to see if any slowed down the heart rate... which surprise surprise, none did because drugs don't stop a pacemaker. That one alone involved around 30 dogs. The experimental design was inherently flawed and it puzzles me how the proposal made it past the university's ethics board.

It's a real life example because it's a cop selling guns illegally, disproving the idea that cops are the only ones responsible enough to be trusted with guns. Mexico is a broader example of how corrupt states with a monopoly on violence become incestuously connected to the criminal underground.

Here’s a real life example of why that’s a bad idea, and you choose to double down. Bold.

Then the ATF should stop wasting time and resources on regulating pistol braces and actually focus on real issues.
