PhazonLink posted:Recent example of CA doing another stupid cancer label. Basically there’s no penalty for labeling something that doesn’t cause cancer as causing cancer but there is for something that causes cancer not being marked. So labeling absolutely everything is the safest way to comply with the law.

I've got a pink knife from a cancer awareness charity run, which comes in a box saying it contains some substance that causes cancer in California. Way to raise awareness.

On the plus side, I'm sure there are companies that decided to use different materials to avoid using the label. Yes, the labeling requirement appears overly broad. But when it was put up to a vote nobody expected coffee, burned meats, and foods fried at too high a temperature to create chemicals during the cooking process which would be associated with cancer.

at this point i think it would just be easier for the state to require labeling everything that doesn't cause cancer instead

I'd like to see a package of marijuana from California with a cancer warning label on it, to mess with all the "BRO WEED CURES CANCER" people.

You must lead an amazingly eventful life! Could I just follow you around for a day or two and see what you get up to? I'd ask you to promise not to try and kill me by mistake but I'm not sure that would actually help any.

When I was young and dumb(er), I smoked a cigarette during a breast cancer walk. I was taken aside and told that was not cool. In my defense, I never used the phrase 'you don't get breast cancer in your lungs'.

Any object containing vinyl theoretically requires that warning on it, which means a vast number of cheap plastic objects and most products incorporating fake leather or rubberized coatings. It's also on most plastic water bottles because of the trace amounts of BHA on them from polycarbonate manufacturing. The dumbest one I've yet seen was a sign in a parking garage saying the environment was known to contain a cancer-causing chemical (car exhaust).

according to some dumbass neighborhood in SF, i have hip cancer because of my cell phone E: There is an interesting debate here. Even if you get a slow cancer off the radio waves from your cell phone, is that worse than when we didn't have a computer in our pocket that talked to the rest of the world? goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Apr 12, 2018 |

You could argue that smartphones mean there is less need to be in a specific physical location, so we use less resources/generate less pollution because of them. i.e. I don't have to drive to the office to answer an email, so I am breathing less pollution as a result

quite stretched out posted:you say that as though bosses give enough of a gently caress about the environment to trust their employees to do work when they aren't under their watchful gaze Well, yes, we do have to ignore rear end in a top hat bosses in this assessment. Mind you: Yesterday, I had to do the 'check email, make a phone call' thing in both the morning and the afternoon. In the morning, I was parked in my car, next to rolling green fields, breathing in clean air and listening to the sound of birds In the afternoon, I was in the office, breathing in industrial cleaning products, photocopier toner particles and ozone, listening to the incessant drone of Sandra and Charlene. so smartphones are good for your health

Well I know a guy who knew a guy who died last friday. Got crushed to death by his truck. Was working on the engine and that requires the whole cabin to be lifted up on hydraulics. Well it seems they failed and he got stuck... Seems like a really lovely way to go.

Carbon dating works by means of estimating the time since a then-living object last interacted with the atmosphere, which contains radioactive C-14, which decays over millennia in living and dead objects. Anything living or dead within the last fifty millennia including yourself, and the atmosphere, may give you cancer. Especially yourself may give you cancer.

I'm an old, so it's not like this all happened in the space of a week. Also, "legal blindness" is a pretty hazy term that mostly means, "shouldn't drive a vehicle without corrective lenses." I can see shapes, and my depth perception is decent, but yeah, it did gently caress with my ability to be a competitive fighter and is the secondary reason why I gave it up. My friends are legitimately surprised I still have all my fingats.

More fun DRJ facts, in high school we had to come up with a name with the sound she made while repeatedly mildly electrocuting herself doing something stupid. Like disassembling and rewiring a hotel clock/radio to hook the speaker up to her walkman. We eventually went with "The Sound Of A Dying Platypus". It's sort of this weird low chirping sound. She also once burned her thumbprints off helping me remove a flaming toaster oven from a classroom. This was, of course, in the middle of a lunch period book club.

hobbesmaster posted:Distilled water? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/15/microplastics-found-in-more-than-90-of-bottled-water-study-says The way I view cancer is basically ever day you are exposed to thousands of particles that could cause cancer. 1 in 100 get breathed in/absorbed. 1 in 100 of those dont get caught by mucus/cellular defeses washed away and removed. 1 in 100 of those are in a location of the body where they can cause serious damage. 1 in 100 of those aren't destroyed by natural body reaction (anti-oxidants, protein regulators) as they begin to cause that damage. 1 in 100 of those aren't destroyed by swaming white blood cells as the damaged part of the body begins to reach critical mass. Eating say grilled food can double your risk, but its doubling something that has a low probability. You can counteract it by eating a diet rich in anti-oxidants which could half your risk, by exercising reguarly so that a fresh supply of blood cells are constantly pumped to all parts of your body and waste from destroyed cells is quickly pumped out the body.
