> TCE contamination is a major concern for human health [...] In 2014, the International Agency for Research on Cancer updated its classification of trichloroethylene to Group 1.

> The demand for TCE as a degreaser began to decline in the 1950s in favor of the less toxic 1,1,1-trichloroethane [...] widely used for cleaning metal parts and circuit boards. The Montreal Protocol targeted it as one of those compounds responsible for ozone depletion and banned its use beginning in 1996.

Pick your poison...

I prefer cities with high crime rates, feels more like home.. I just cant sleep without the sound of the lamenting of women and the screams of our enemies outside my window.

Why did Amazon fail to conquer the Venus market ?

Because they promised one day shipping and competitors offered one year shipping. #joke #venus #planets

Interesting, of the 27 people who voted 100% have been to a movie or theater with intermission!

Have you ever been to a play or movie with an intermission?

only if they actually put the intermission the screen for an extended period of time so you could get up and make a snack and take a piss

@trinsec She is a nun in a convent and the song is about her son who died seven years ago. In the play she believes her son is calling her to heaven to be with him. In the end she commits suicide but because she committed a mortal sin goes to hell instead never to see her son.

In a world of polarized extremes, be the moderate and reasonable middle ground... Too much of anything is a bad thing.

@freemo From very atypical things: Maybe "47 Ronin" (from 1941)?

Of all the classic films I've watched over the years from Citizen Kane to Planet of the Apes I try to make it a point to watch iconic and historic movies even though I dont particularly enjoy the style of old movies. It just seems like something a well educated person should put the time into.

Despite that I must admit I never watched the Godfather series. For some reason it is just not the sort of movie that draws me in... that said I feel as a matter of education I must watch the series at least once.

So today im going to watch godfather the movie... lets hope it is at least bearable.

I dont mind people being wrong, in fact i love the fact that people are trying to find answers at all. What i mind is the absolute certainty people tend to have that they are correct, to the point of being unable to even begin to consider other answers at all.

What really gets me is just how pervasive this cock sure confirmation bias is in even the most well meaning of people. In recent years it is so common it is crippling and causes turmoil in even casual relationships for anything remotely polarizing.

This is what it looks like when you take cyanoacrylate and sone accelerator, through it in a pill capsule, shake them together and watch the reaction quickly harden. It gets so hard it starts smoking.

@freemo for the tabletop gamers, one MacquarieCon had t-shirts with "Carpe DM" - seize the dungeon master.

Every Charlton Heston movie ever made is basically him running around trying to figure out what the hell is going on and then at the end him screaming at the reveal.
