A reserve of good bacteria to repopulate your guts in case you consume something bad that needs to get flushed out. Aren't tonsils something similar?

Per the article there are few sources of that substance other than PFAS. What makes you believe that there are many sources for it?

"That’s because all PFAS contain organic fluorine, and there are few other sources of the compound, says Graham Peaslee, PhD, a professor of physics, chemistry, and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, who has studied PFAS in food packaging.

Another complication: PFAS is used so widely—found in ink on food containers, recycled paper, machines that make packaging, and more—that it often shows up in products unintentionally."

They're big and heavy and have a lot of wear parts that are expensive to maintain. Standing in one spot not blinking isn't great. I can play pinball in VR and have about an equally good experience these days.

Where did you get that 100GB/mo number from? 4K streaming eats up data transfer quickly. Comcrap & friends knew what they were doing making arbitrary data caps that sounded like a big number at the time. Wireline data caps should be illegal.

Solar panels on the outside of the plane? They're above the clouds for the most part.

Maybe don't wear any kind of plastic? Every time you wash a synthetic garment plastic particles are going into the water system.

There is so much collusion and cheating in that "sport" it should be shut down. On top of all the animal abuse at that.

With profit margins on existing internet customers being so obscene, to me this program seems like a massive subsidy to the big ISPs who were still making additional profit from what the "discounted" rate was. The minimum plan for just cable internet should not be $50+ per month

Isn't that because the ocean water blocks radiation?

Paying with QR instead of having a stranger take your credit card somewhere to swipe it is also a much better experience for me.
