Article isn’t paywalled for me. Headline is ok. 3d printing a whistle supposedly costs under 5 cents. OTOH, that type of plastic might be less safe to put in your mouth.
Its a gift link. Unless you’re doing something fairly uncommon, like removing the gift token, access is free. You can also use one of the various archive sites
Haha, funny you should say that, I’ve been linking this to people but taking the tracking portion out of the URL as I always do, I think that’s pretty common amongst us lot :-D
I’d say oopsie, but I dunno, articles like these should probably be free without needing special URL parameters. Not everything of course, but vital public safety announcements like this.
…that’s not what happened when I clicked it. I guess you have to have your anti-tracking disabled?
(side note: I hate the phrase “gift link”. It’s not a gift, it’s a promo, as evidenced by the number of blatant marketing agency accounts posting them on social media.)

Polylactic Acid (aka PLA) is a protein found in milk and corn. PLA filament is made from fermented corn starch.
They use PLA in several tea bags and coffee filters now.
… of course I research and avoid those. I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but boiling it and drinking it seems insane.
I’m just gonna leave this here.
If you would rather invest in a quality whistle for the one that goes in your own mouth, I recommend an ACME Thunderer.
As used by gym teachers and drum majors, (not Wile E. Coyote) they have a satisfying roll of authority.
That’s weird, it shows up as a gifted article for me
