  • No, chlorine is an oxidizing agent. Small amounts increase cancer risk.

    Water is essential for humans. excess water is a risk. Normal quantities are fine and desirable. Any amount of chlorine is a risk. that’s the difference. It’s not desirable in any amount.

    We can tolerate small amounts of chlorine and we put it in drinking water to make the water safe. The same thing is happening with the chicken, but better conditions for chickens and slaughter, like in the uk or eu would mean the chlorine is not required, which is better for people’s health.





  • My parents in Ireland have just put solar on their roof. They have a battery and plan for an electric car to replace their ice next year. Their power bill is now in credit and it’s winter time. They now think they could last 3 days without power in an outage and 7 days if they didn’t wash and dry clothes.

    Solar is always weather dependent. Ireland is not hot and often is cloudy, but there is daylight and that makes power. It comes down to economics and they work, it seems.





  • While in the background they are.picoring to other trade agreements and even china as a more reliable trade partner. That’s also complex as there is concern that china is cannibalizing the manufacturer market. They used to only be considered low end but are now able to reliably make middle and high end products. Some chinese brands are now premium brands.




  • As an immigrant to Australia, who loves Eurovision from my past life in Europe, it’s actually pretty rational. There is a public broadcaster here, that has broadcasts for minority populations, called SBS. It has news broadcasts in Greek, Italian and other languages. It has European media. It is supposed to be an alternative voice but also to address the high immigrant population here that want news from home, going back to ww1. They have consistently broadcast Eurovision and only have been a competitor in recent years.


  • I have. It’s become more common. I see the same for gluten free and vegan etc products.

    I assume some good tasting products get avoided as people assume they are inferior due to alternative ingredients so they downplay it in the hope that their market share grows. Obviously, those looking for those products will be on the lookout for the label.

    It’s capitalism, still. You get a product you didn’t want by deception that is legal.
