Don't all pants have at least three holes?

Heavy metals like lead accumulate in the body, so exposure over time is a concern too.

In the US, childhood lead poisoning cases are opened by public health investigators when the kid's blood lead level is reported over 3.5 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. That's not much - and if the kid's eating contaminated food everyday for multiple sittings, I can see how it can accumulate over that threshold quickly.

For example, lead contaminated soil is considered a hazard if measured to have over 400 ppm lead. For things actually meant to be eaten, a fraction of that ppm is all it takes.

Why?

But why? Seems arbitrary and antiquated

Sea of Stars is a pretty fun, especially if you're a fan of old school turn based jrpgs. Pretty decent story too.

Yeah they're totally the same

Sure, that can happen if there actually is a problem. But, I'm failing to see a problem here that could become expensive. This person has a functional septic system and they're trying to find out what this pipe is and whether it's important for the function of their system. Getting plans and talking to city/county staff is pretty routine for stuff like this.

Not necessarily. Getting copies and talking to someone at the counter usually doesn't cost anything.

I'd take a trip to the local septic permitting agency and see if I could get copies of the permit and approved septic system design/as-built site plans. The inspector will probably be able to tell you if you need it or not.

It might be a vent for the leach field although that's not common where I'm from. I guess it could also be a marker for a distribution box or some other system component.

Good go-to options listed here. I also periodically browse Brettuns Village and Zack White Leather. Also, Buckleguy for hardware.

Most sets are pretty lackluster, imo. If you're looking for long lasting gear, I think piecemealing is the better way to go even if it is a little more spendy and tedious.

If you're trying to avoid scratching your cookware, you'll probably want to chiose silicone or wood or a mix since they excel at different things. For example, I find it easier using a wooden turner to scrape up fond to make a pan sauce, but I also find silicone easier for more delicate tasks like scrambling or flipping eggs. Food-grade silicone is safe up to like 500F, so you'll be safe with either.

If you go the wood route, I prefer hardwood like teak over bamboo for longevity. Earlywood makes nice wood products, but there are many other brands that are cheaper and will still last a long time with care. For silicone, OXO and GIR are solid and pretty budget friendly. If you don't already have a grater in mind, Microplane is god-tier.

I know you're not particularly interested in stainless steel, but for those who are, Lamson, Wusthof, and Cuisinart will all take abuse and last.
