I looked the Irish star up, and it's owned by the same company as the daily mirror and daily star. So my guess is it's purpose is to amplify bots that complain about dei. Making those complaints seem more abundant than they are.
I don't think that's a great comparison. You're most likely never allowed to paint your door. I would say it's more like curtains, your apartment has proprietary curtain rods, that you can't put your own curtains on for some reason, so you ask all your neighbors how to change them. They respond with "have you tried opening and closing your curtains yet?", "Try vacuuming them to get the dust off". Then you finally get a hold of the landlord and they say you can't replace them.
That's true, but that's true of everything. Not every microbe can survive in every environment, and the number of microbes that survive is really what determines contamination. If you start off with one, it could take years before it reaches a noticeable level. If you start with a few billion, then it could be a few days. When you do a through clean, you're ensuring that you can reach your expected storage time by eliminating as many microbes as you can.
But in the end, if they don't hurt you plants and your plants are getting the fertilizer they need, how much does it really matter?
Also, you could try different methods to sterilize your equipment. Heat, alcohol, and acid are all different ways to sterilize, and if you're only using one method you can end up inadvertently selecting for hardier microbes. Scratches in plastic or a build up of calcium can end up providing a safe place for microbes to survive a rinsing/soaking sanitation method. The fertilizer itself or the water could be the source of your microbes as well.
What I would do is clean with vinegar for an hour or over night depending on how dilute the solution you use is, rinse with previously boiled water (make sure it's thoroughly rinsed before the next step do not mix bleach and vinegar unless you're prepared for nasty fumes), sanitize with bleach solution for 15+ minutes, then slosh and rinse with 70+% rubbing alcohol for a few minutes and let drip dry on a sanitized surface, cover any containers that aren't immediately going to be used with foil to let them completely dry out, but so particles can't fall in them.
The vinegar will help sanitize, but for this purpose it's mostly used to remove mineral deposits, so if there isn't any cloudy residue at all on your equipment, it might not be necessary.
You shouldn't need to do this every time, just on occasion. From then on, be sure to boil your water before use, or prepare your fertilizer at boiling or just under boiling temperatures if it won't degrade the fertilizer.
You are not defending a position, all you're doing is playing an adult version of the toddler "why" game. If you want a debate or to have discussion you need to add something to it. State your position and defend it.
If the end result was exactly the same and you had a choice between treating them like normal people and sending them on commercial aircraft with prior notice, or handcuffing them and transporting them on military aircraft with no notice, which would you say is the best way to deport them?
This devil's advocate position your holding is very akin to fascists "just asking questions".
You seem to equate any lawbreaking as requiring handcuffs and imprisonment. So by your "devil's advocate" stand it seems like you think leaving your Christmas lights up deserves handcuffs and imprisonment. Do you agree?
What situation do you think handcuffs should or should not be used when dealing with someone breaking the law?
Slight correction, Lora is shared with amateur bands, but the transmission power is low enough that it's within unlicensed limits.
Also, they can actually transmit quite far, they just can't penetrate well. A mountaintop node can communicate to the horizon, but inside a house at desk height it can struggle to reach a half mile.
It's not illegal to use encryption if your transmission is below 1 watt, such as normal Wi-Fi. If you want to use more power, then you need to get a license and your traffic can't be encrypted. Licensed amateurs can use orders of magnitude more power and cover areas city wide, rather than barely within the confines of a home.
Amateur radio shares the Wi-Fi frequencies. Amateur radio is allowed to use more power than your Wi-Fi router. So to use more power, you must be licensed and no encryption allowed.
I have the following count from what I could gather, if you're not in one of these states/jurisdictions and you are in the United States, I would encourage you contact your local state attorney general and encourage them to take part.
Yes it would, there hasn't been a shooting like it since. Uvalde comes close, but that wasn't planned like columbine was.
