In the way that we go 'holy poo poo, they used asbestos in schools!!', in 40 years, will they be saying 'I can't believe that they used paper every day!' or 'can you believe they ate chicken, what morons!' ?

It's more of a theoretical risk of interference. All our fixed installation is done with shielded twisted pair, because why not. The extra cost of shielded vs unshielded cable was minuscule in comparison to the cost of the installation anyway.

No but if you have celiac you're some huge stupid percentage more likely to die in any random year because cross contamination fucks your body up. Also I dunno why everyone gets so up in arms about people not eating wheat even if their reasons are bad, it's not particularly good for you even if your body can process it without having a meltdown. People saying they have celiac when they don't is way less annoying to me than people getting all up in arms about their love of bread. No one wants to hear that you're fat and want to get fatter.

People who lie about a gluten allergy (or are delusional about having one) make the world more dangerous for those with Celiac's, since people are less likely to take them seriously. It also means the person with the 'undiagnosed gluten intolerance' gets to dictate where a group of people eat and then get sanctimonious about how healthy their food is, criticize what everyone else is eating, and promote other pseudoscience bullshit.

I'd much rather take that than some dumbass online wishing I'd get cancer because I can't eat wheat. And everyone has built up that fake celiac person in their own mind to a much greater extent than they actually exist in the wild.

I mostly just take issue with food fads promoting misinformation and bad science to the general public. I don't particularly care who eats bread, I mean it's high in carbs so whatever, but I don't like it meaning that even some meat products now say "gluten free" on them promoting the perception that it's a spooky scary food word and it's bad for you.

^^^: Yep, barring some completely unforeseen science out of left field, this is 100% what the current century's major foil will be I'm annoyed at the anti-gluten fad since it meant my box of vital wheat gluten wasn't on the store shelves when I needed to restock. I finally broke down and ordered a 4lb bag of pure gluten, so I'll have non-crumbly bread and good pizza dough for years to come at least

Speaking of led and florescent lights, anyone have any leads on adaptors that will let me convert my kitchen lights to led? They're the standard full size bulbs with the ballasts running straight off of 120v. I'm renting an apartment, so i can't really tear out the ballasts to get to the couple inches of wire to wire in an outlet, but i can't think of anything else that would work

You can just buy LED fluorescent tubes that drop into standard fluorescent fixtures now. All the circuitry to adapt the voltages is right in the tube.

Double edit: Okay, Ebay has much more reasonable prices. The Australian manufacturer I checked had a single, standard 120cm tube as $70.
