      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.

        It’s not going to be significantly unsafe. It’ll shed more microplastics and is more likely to grow mold due to the surface texture, but if you’re inhaling through the whistle you’re using it very wrong.

        That said, an injection molded whistle can be bought by the thousand for a few cents each.

      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.
