invent green hovercars now

Today I learned that I only started using ammonia in my laundry in May, so I'm right on schedule with laundry sensitivity problems. Preliminary studies indicate that ammonia fails to remove some contaminants, which apparently can be shaken loose by agitating laundry for half an hour with a cup of baking soda, draining that, and repeating twice with vinegar and once with just hot water. I have a lot of laundry to do, plus baseboards to attach to walls, so I'll be impressed if I learn anything else other than this stuff:
  • People worry about peak oil, but it appears that we've reached peak junk food.
  • You can buy tires that smell like lavender at Sears and Discount Tire. The Korean manufacturers put enough heat-resistant synthetic chemicals into them that they can be smelled from 25 feet away, so you can impress entire sections of neighborhoods or parking lots with your ability to shell out an extra $10 per tire to increase your VOC inhalation.
  • 75% of US households use air fresheners, which, until recently, contained a s**tload of pthatates that no one officially knew about. I'm sure the remaining products are perfectly safe, just like lavender scented tires you can smell from inside your vehicle.
