Pouring water with plastic sanding dust may essentually be a "feel-good" gesture. Coffee filters are not fine enough to catch microplastics. Think about it, it lets pass enough coffee particles trough that you have some sediment in your cup.
Also, where is that filter being discarded? Into a "microplastic recycling facility" ?
Yeah, and try that PLUS bipolar. You actually do the things, but fail miserably after a while because you mind is like a pinball; uuuuuuup the channel like a rocket, and then spend time bouncing really quick randomly, and then plonk, down the pocket

~~You~~ We probably leach more microplastics (I'm guessing, no hard data) by using non-stick kitchenware, including oven trays, air fryers, etc... Also much of our packaging is a source of microplastics. Then there are the microplastics we drag into the environment from our car mats, from out fleece jackets, and soooo many of our activities. I'm with you in the desire to reduce microplastics, but let's be real, if that is such a primary concern to you, you may have the wrong hobby. I'm working on a prototype of a cheap and cheerful enclosure filter, that I will post in one of the model sites,(about 5-6 € including filament, and about 2-3 € for a hepa + carbon filter), but in the end the filter medium will end up in a landfill. There is no practical solution for recycling or removal of microplastics yet, except elimination of as much plastic production as possible.
OTOH, Danone is a B corporation, so there are choices in that space.
Just Americans?

I dont know in the US, but in my country, in Europe, where we have a tradition of taking to the streets, the police have developed some pretty good methods for counting, based on helicopter photos, video, and physical references.
I imagine that with drones, lidar, machine learning, and other technologies, you can probably now tally attendance to ridiculous accuracy

You literally feel it in the seat of your pants, after a while.
I have 2 cvt scooters (no real defensible reason), and it makes me uncomfortable having RPMs go up or down without direct relationship to speed
As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.
Oh, Austria!!
I always confuse Austria with Baluchistan!
