Yes. I bought some very cheap LEDs of AliExpresss, but they failed quite quickly (no surprise). Name brand bulbs from my local supermarket have, so far, held up vastly better. One of the more amusing ways the cheap bulbs failed is by negl

I should have said "may" I guess. However... There is an ongoing debate over what actually causes the observed cancer increase from eating (some) meats, and which meats it applies to. Some studies suggest the issue is red meat i

Well... 1) We've banned a lot of dangerous drugs that have been around for centuries. Opium has been used since at least 1500 BCE, so over three THOUSAND years. 2) I think coffee tastes awful and can't even stand the smell. So m

I think it's interesting how some drugs (including very dangerous drugs) are normalised. Alcohol, caffeine, and (with a prescription, and in some cultures, even without) amphetamines[1] are just seen as "fine". People use t
