Ever watched a viral cleaning hack and wondered if it's too good to be true? Shannon and Jamie, veteran cleaning business owners, expose the dangerous reality behind one of social media's most damaging cleaning trends: using toilet bowl cleaner on surfaces other than toilets.This eye-opening conversation dives into the chemistry behind why toilet bowl cleaner works safely on porcelain but causes permanent, irreversible damage when applied to stone surfaces, metal fixtures, window frames, and even house siding. The hosts share shocking examples of homes they've encountered where homeowners unwittingly destroyed expensive fixtures and surfaces by following misleading online cleaning advice."I see it at least once a week," Shannon reveals, describing the heartbreaking moment when she has to tell clients their fixtures are permanently damaged from toilet bowl cleaner misuse. The acidic nature of these products creates black marks, etching, and discoloration that simply cannot be repaired. Jamie adds her own cautionary tale about receiving a chemical burn from just a tiny splash of the product, emphasizing the health risks these powerful acids pose when used improperly.Beyond just identifying the problem, the hosts offer practical solutions for both cleaning professionals and homeowners. They recommend safer alternatives like Bar Keepers Friend and 5-in-1 cleaners while explaining the importance of understanding chemical pH levels and appropriate surface applications. Their expert advice helps distinguish true professional cleaning practices from harmful shortcuts that might look impressive online but lead to costly damage.Whether you're a cleaning business owner, a professional cleaner, or simply someone who wants to maintain your home properly, this episode provides essential knowledge to protect your surfaces, your health, and your wallet.

On August 6th and 9th 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki became the first – and so far only – targets of nuclear weapons in warfare, killing over 100,000 people instantly and devastating countless lives for decades to come. The humanitarian consequences of such weapons are unmatched in scale and severity. While legal and ethical arguments against the most horrendous weapons have existed since the 19th century, nuclear arsenals remain active and are even expanding, as global discourse shifts away from nuclear disarmament toward renewed reliance on deterrence. In this post, ICRC Policy Adviser Dominique Loye traces the evolution of legal and humanitarian objections to nuclear weapons, from the 1868 Saint Petersburg Declaration to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). He argues that despite hopeful legal and diplomatic milestones, the world is once again drifting towards catastrophe. With the 2026 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Review Conference on the horizon, the time is now to reframe global security around humanity – not annihilation – and to take urgent, collective steps to reduce nuclear risks and prevent their use.

In the last few months, widespread starvation has gripped the Gaza Strip. United Nations-backed food security experts say the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out” in Gaza, home to an estimated 2 million Palestinians. One of the few organizations still on the ground trying to feed Palestinians at risk of famine is the Gaza Soup Kitchen. This week's guest on More To The Story with Al Letson is Abe Ajrami, a Palestinian who now lives in the US and helps coordinate the organization's food aid. Ajrami talks about the kitchen's extraordinary efforts to help prevent famine in Gaza, the debate over whether the Israeli government is committing genocide against Palestinians, and whether a two-state solution is still achievable.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Read: “It's Abhorrent”: A Whistleblower Contractor Speaks Out as Gaza's Famine Spreads (Mother Jones)Listen: Kids Under Fire in Gaza (Reveal)Learn more: Gaza Soup Kitchen Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This is a new introduction to AI as an extinction threat, previously posted to the MIRI website in February alongside a summary. It was written independently of Eliezer and Nate's forthcoming book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies, and isn't a sneak peak of the book. Since the book is long and costs money, we expect this to be a valuable resource in its own right even after the book comes out next month.[1] The stated goal of the world's leading AI companies is to build AI that is general enough to do anything a human can do, from solving hard problems in theoretical physics to deftly navigating social environments. Recent machine learning progress seems to have brought this goal within reach. At this point, we would be uncomfortable ruling out the possibility that AI more capable than any human is achieved in the next year or two, and [...] ---Outline:(02:27) 1.  There isn't a ceiling at human-level capabilities.(08:56) 2. ASI is very likely to exhibit goal-oriented behavior.(15:12) 3.  ASI is very likely to pursue the wrong goals.(32:40) 4. It would be lethally dangerous to build ASIs that have the wrong goals.(46:03) 5. Catastrophe can be averted via a sufficiently aggressive policy response.The original text contained 1 footnote which was omitted from this narration. --- First published: August 5th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kgb58RL88YChkkBNf/the-problem --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

This episode kicks off in the middle of a laundry detergent catastrophe. Someone, perhaps a cat, knocked over a Costco size container that then broke and spilled on the floor. Let's just say the noises coming from the other room really emphasize that someone was going through it having to clean it up. Tamara was just getting back from spending the night and day at the Renaissance Faire. Throwing axes and having the best time! Rheannon this year did approve of her outfit and effort more this year than last year. Tamara did not complete her homework of starting a new show, but she did at least get started. Rheannon is on board being a wing woman as Tamara get's into golfing and wondering if that is a way to meet guys. Let's just say much like this episode it will probably go downhill fast.

A richly imagined new view on the great human tradition of apocalypse, from the rise of Homo sapiens to the climate instability of our present, that defies conventional wisdom and long-held stories about our deep past to reveal how cataclysmic events are not irrevocable endings, but transformations. A drought lasts for decades, a disease rips through a city, a civilization collapses. When we finally uncover the ruins, we ask: What happened? The good news is, we've been here before. History is long, and people have already confronted just about every apocalypse we're facing today. But these days, archaeologists are getting better at seeing stories of survival, transformation, and even progress hidden within those histories of collapse and destruction. Perhaps, we begin to see, apocalypses do not destroy worlds, but create them anew. Apocalypse offers a new way of understanding human history, reframing it as a series of crises and cataclysms that we survived, moments of choice in an evolution of humanity that has never been predetermined or even linear. Here Lizzie Wade asks us to reckon with our long-held narratives of these events, from the end of Old Kingdom Egypt, the collapse of the Classic Maya, to the Black Death, and shows us how people lived through and beyond them—and even considered what a new world could look like in their wake. The more we learn about apocalypses past, the more hope we have that we will survive our own. It won't be pleasant. It won't be fair. The world will be different on the other side, and our cultures and communities—perhaps even our species—will be different too. Lizzie Wade is an award-winning journalist and correspondent for Science, one of the world's most prestigious scientific journals. She covers archaeology, anthropology, and Latin America for the magazine's print and online news sections. Her work has also appeared in Wired, The Atlantic, Slate, The New York Times, Aeon, Smithsonian, Archaeology, and California Sunday, among other publications.

Julius Caesar was no aspiring autocrat seeking to realize the imperial future but an unusually successful republican leader who was measured against the Republic's traditions and its greatest heroes of the past. Catastrophe befell Rome not because Caesar (or anyone else) turned against the Republic, its norms, and institutions, but because Caesar's extraordinary success mobilized a determined opposition that ultimately preferred to precipitate civil war rather than accept its political defeat. Based on painstaking re-analysis of the ancient sources in the light of recent advances in our understanding of the participatory role of the People in the republican political system, a strong emphasis on agents' choices rather than structural causation, and profound skepticism toward the facile determinism that often substitutes for historical explanation, Julius Caesar and the Roman People (Cambridge University Press, 2021) offers a radical reinterpretation of a figure of profound historical importance who stands at the turning point of Roman history from Republic to Empire.

As part of the IVF cycle, patients are given hormones which stimulates the ovaries to allow all the possible follicles and eggs to grow. The good news is that this often allows us to capture as many healthy eggs as possible in one cycle, giving a patient a better chance at a healthy embryo. One possible side effect is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Dr. Nichole Barker of Seattle Reproductive Medicine joins me on the podcast today to talk all about OHSS. What do you need to know before IVF? What are the symptoms of OHSS? What's the protocol for a patient (and her doctor) should she have symptoms?⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

The Prime Minister has addressed what he called the "catastrophe" in Gaza, and said it has got to stop. New Zealand is among 25 countries calling for an an end to the war criticising what they describe as the inhumane killing of Palestinians, and the drip feeding of aid. With our foreign minister joining allies like the UK, France and Australia in signing the statement. In response, Israel's foreign ministry said the statement is 'disconnected from reality' and will send the wrong message to Hamas. Lillian Hanly reports.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the catastrophic flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Central Texas over the weekend claimed at least 91 lives, with around 20 people still missing. The disaster struck Kerr County, particularly devastating Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp, where 27 campers and counselors, including young teens and the camp director, perished while trying to save others.  It's disgusting that the media and Democrats immediately politicize the event, blaming climate change or budget cuts. Also, there's a fake MAGA faction within conservatism that harbors dangerous ideologies, including affinities for Hitler sympathizers and antisemitic rhetoric. Darryl Cooper promotes revisionist history, such as portraying Churchill as a villain and Hitler as misunderstood. Later, the big, beautiful bill is not perfect, but it's pretty good. Republicans didn't have enough votes to cut anymore. Democrats are trying to tell you there are Medicaid cuts. No, it's cutting off people who shouldn't be getting Medicaid. A Convention of States can fix systemic spending issues. Afterward, a district judge in Boston issued a temporary restraining order blocking the defunding of Planned Parenthood as part of the big, beautiful bill President Trump signed. This ruling, which contradicts a Supreme Court decision limiting nationwide injunctions by lower courts, violates constitutional separation of powers. Congress and the president, as elected branches, have the authority to defund organizations, not a district judge.   Finally, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi aren't covering up a Jeffrey Epstein "client list" after a DOJ-FBI memo denied its existence and reaffirmed Epstein's suicide. These three have integrity and lack a motive for a cover-up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
