albuterol inhalers use saline solution as a carrier.

Each milliliter of albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains 0.83 mg of albuterol (as 1 mg of albuterol sulfate) in an isotonic, sterile, aqueous solution containing sodium chloride; sulfuric acid is used to adjust the pH to between 3 and 5. Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution 0.083% contains no sulfiting agents or preservatives.

Seems like they just use pH-adjusted salt water for it? Been looking for more data but I'm having trouble finding anything that isn't behind stupid paywalls.

afaik the bases of e-juice were studied for ingestion, not inhalation.

edit: i was thinking of diacetyl which is sometimes used as a flavoring additive and caused a bunch of lung injury in the early days of microwave popcorn manufacturing. While looking through these I stumbled upon vitamin e acetate (used as a condensing agent in vape products) and it sounds none to good for you either. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6952050/

My understanding is this. Let's say Valve accepted crypto payments. If they did, they wouldn't need to go through middlemen payment processors like Visa and Mastercard that can use their influence to dictate what games can and can't be published on Steam.

But yeah the way it works in practice seems to make crypto a commodity, not a currency.

Why exactly are they targeting a non-governing member of the alliance?

I bet you they just automatically lump in all the data from those old plagiarism detectors schools used to use before "ai detectors" became the thing.

Required to use smart features? Thank you Walmart for encouraging people not to connect their TVs to the internet!

lmfao. apparently the way this was originally written would have prevented non-exempt routers from getting security updates. you know, the alleged reason this ruling even exists. somebody at the FCC office of engineering and technology must have noticed because they issued a temporary waiver (PDF file).

Applying the revised 47 CFR §§ 2.932(b) and 2.1043(b) to the newly added Covered Routers would have the effect of prohibiting permissive changes to Covered Routers even if they were authorized prior to the March 23, 2026, Covered List addition. This prohibition would be in effect even for Class I permissive changes—such as software and firmware security updates that mitigate harm to U.S. consumers—because previously-authorized Routers are now covered equipment. ............... Therefore, OET concludes that a limited waiver until March 1, 2027, is warranted and in the public interest. March 1, 2027, is convenient because it is the date until which the recent DoW determination excepts certain otherwise Covered Routers. Prior to March 1, 2027, the OET will re-evaluate whether to further extend applicability.

They wouldn't be forwarding packets between networked systems unless you're using one as a hotspot. And even then I don't know if the term "networked systems" would include a single computer or if they intend it to mean an area network of some kind.
