Stereotype posted:This is dumb. There are some studies suggest that constant, prolonged exposure had some celluar effects on rats and rabbits but I think the consensus at the time was that A. The animals in question are way smaller then humans and B. They basically had exposure 24/7 for a long period ofntime. The whole fear of base stations or whatever is unfounded though.

i am harry posted:While we're on that subject please don't anyone forget that once Americans noticed their kids were dying to IEDs in some desert, the Bush admin tried to pivot through "The Axis of Evil", raising the specter of NK and Iran as next destinations for the public to focus on and cheer for instead of worrying about what was going on in Iraq. The axis of evil speech was given in january 2002 at his state of the union, well before the invasion of iraq, though the drum beat was starting. At the time, Afghanistan was going very well, and the whole world (including iran) was still on our side. In the very early days of the invasion of afghanistan the iranian national guard was on our side. we did joint missions with them. The real reason for that was at the time no one was quiiiiiiite sure what was going to become of that US-Saudi alliance. Luckily the bush family wasn't going to take that opportunity to toss them into the garbage bin and shift to the much more sensible ally in the region so opportunity wasted. But yeah, axis of evil was over a year before taking baghdad. there wolf posted:Why would the City of Savannah have a problem with that? This was probably just some regulation tour guide companies got into place to reduce competition. Savannah is a very black, very liberal town that's mostly northern tourists or just locals. You can tell the difference because the locals will be passed out drunk everywhere. Sherman didn't burn it, and it's absolutely gorgeous. There are obviously confederate cemeteries, but people down there take their civil war history VERY seriously, and someone that just started spouting off some nonsense would probably get jumped by aforementioned drunk locals. Seriously you don't know what alcoholism is until you've been to savannah.

The craziness about EM signals somehow being bad for your health is a world wide thing. In Israel, they have signs in some of the elevators asking you to not use your phone because some people think the signal will be "trapped" in there with them and cause some sort of medical crisis. I've never seen anyone actually care when I ignored the signs, but apparently some people freak the gently caress out. Why people are more worried about lower energy frequencies like WiFi and cell signals and not higher energy ones like goodamn light is beyond me. (No it's not, it's because they're invisible and invisible things are scary. These are probably the same people that walk around with no sunscreen because the sun is "natural")

I think the first article I ever read about someone claiming to have their health affected by non-ionizing radiation in ~2004 featured a photo of the person in question in their kitchen next to an old school chrome toaster. Christ that was funny.

Where things get really silly is that 5g drastically reduces the actual radiated power by emphasizing micro-cellular designs and beam-forming. The whole thing is just pseudoscience woo at best. there wolf posted:Why would the City of Savannah have a problem with that? This was probably just some regulation tour guide companies got into place to reduce competition. Requiring licensing for nearly every occupation whether it needs it or not is a major problem these days, especially since in many cases that licensing requires spending significant money on approved private education programs. It reduces economic mobility and increases inequality as a result. Unfortunately the Koch brothers have latched onto the "licensing bad" idea as a way to push their "anti-regulation in all forms" agenda making it difficult to figure out whether a particular individual or organization opposing licensing is doing it to actually try to improve lives vs trying to make it easier for predatory companies to operate.

luxury handset posted:i doubt the number of local history tours which have fake information, compares to the number of ghost tours, all of which by definition are fake information If you'd ever lived in a town like Savannah with a lot of these local history tours, you wouldn't doubt it. Unless there's some sort of licensing or education requirement people just spout nonsense all day. I mean, it's not like a huge problem -- perhaps, in fact, one of the whitest problems there is -- but it is annoying as hell to be walking around town and hear tour guides spouting off nonsense that you know is just flat wrong. It's like people being wrong on the internet, but in real life. Shifty Pony posted:Where things get really silly is that 5g drastically reduces the actual radiated power by emphasizing micro-cellular designs and beam-forming. The whole thing is just pseudoscience woo at best. Yeah, that's kinda my issue with this issue -- like, ok, sure, yes, a lot of licensing requirements are excessive, but I'm reminded of the time Nikki Haley tried to deregulate the cosmetologists and all the cosmetologists panicked because 1) there are actually needs for pretty stringent sanitation and public health safeguards if you're gonna prevent spread of lice, disease, etc., and 2) all those cosmetologists had sunk investment into getting their licenses and if you abolish that they have all that loan debt and nothing to show for it. So if we're gonna unwind that part of the administrative state sure but I don't trust that to happen correctly or intelligently under Republican government.
