Yea it seems like including Ni and Co as ‘ferrous’ materials is only done in certain industries/applications. From a pure chemistry point of view, only iron (Fe) is ferrous. [source: got bachelors in chem]. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, some people/industries [incorrectly] use the term ‘ferrous’ to mean magnetic, but the actual term is ‘ferromagnetic’. Lots of the old terminology (lots of latin) is still used even though we now know they are technically incorrect.
In what context have you seen them referred to as ferrous? [source?]
I try and give the general population a little more credit on these food issues - it appears to me that the main factor is time. People do not have enough time and energy to prepare every meal from whole fruits/veggies/whatever. Certainly laziness/lack of food education is an issue, but working eight hours plus an hour commute each way (like in the DC region) knocks out ten hours of your day already. Now adding on top of that the time it takes to think of a meal idea, purchase the goods, and prepare them, and this becomes an exhausting affair - one that never ends! And three meals a day? People need more free time to take care of themselves.
Come on over to Maryland :) Specifically the corridor between DC-Balt-Annapolis is pretty progressive (but expensive…)
Through the Voyager phone app I sometimes use the ‘random community’ search option to make Lemmy like StumbleUpon. I dont see this random option through desktop though…maybe its a Voyager thing
Same! It is definitively unconstitutional and the us gov just pushed it through anyway (with even supreme court backing it up?!) Shit is crazy, and yet I see a lot of ‘no big loss’ type comments on it.
the Chinese state is censoring and fencing off some of the content there as a result. Source?
tiktok has(d) developed into a hivemind where tens of millions of people (or more?) can be a part of a discussion. This made it easy for trends to spread rapidly, such as deciding where to migrate with the impending tiktok ban. From my own experience on tiktok, the last few weeks there was much discussion of where to go, and it appears the hivemind settled on rednote.
No link to a source in the article. I searched for it and found a CNBC article that posts a link to the “report” from the South Korean Data Protection Authority, but its a bad link. I dont read Korean so its difficult to search any further, but I found no evidence that the south korean authority made this claim.
