This only seems to be a correlation between people reporting having eaten out and the test levels. I can't see why restaurant food would be that much different to home cooked food unless there was something very wrong with the supply

That's quite an interesting looking one, I've not directly heard of it before but as it's been around for a few years is quite possibly used in some products. It looks to be a PLA base with some other additives, presumably to

PLA will only decompose quickly in an industrial composting facility. If it gets into the ocean it will decompose at about the same rate as regular plastics.

Running has never been my thing, just can't seem to get along with it. > What is a "press up for zero time" mean? By that I mean it doesn't take up any special time, like doing my step ups when the kettle is boiling.

I can't see where on that link it talks about the nib developing flatter surfaces. The nib is flexible and with long term use and excessive pressure can alter the angle of the tines. That can affect the ink flow through the slit affe

True, I use my nice pens in the office or at home. I've a Baoer 388 I carry around, apart from the lacquer that seems almost indestructible and writes very well. I think I read a while ago that fountain pens don't wear to your wr

No direct suggestions, sorry. One thing though with the milk you need to think about and keep watching as you don't want it boiling over but with the kettle I can just leave it. I'm going to see if I can start doing things like

Similar anecdote; I'm middle aged and have become fairly sedentary over the past few years but life is busy & a little complex so not easy to get back to a gym or regular cycling. I've recently started doing step-ups when I fi

It's to do with how fine these plastic particles are and the sheer volumes of waste which need filtering. They do remove a fair percentage but not all. [1] Even in regular drains there will be a significant amount of contamination whi

Yes, but at what point do you hash it? The Nikon software proved it was unaltered since the shutter press, anything after that would rely on it not being touched until the hash was generated.

I sometimes make tablet, a Scottish variation on fudge, and although the recipe is simple one of the most significant variables is the stirring once it's cooked. You need a very strong arm and patience to keep mixing as it crystallise

Nikon used to provide "Image Authentication Software" which would authenticate images and show if they had been altered since taken by the camera. This was useful not only in news but also court cases. This, obviously, could not

That shot size is 43ml so 5 shots totals 215ml of 40% spirits. In the UK a single is 25ml so it's equivalent of 8.6 'singles' / 4.3 'doubles'.

I'm not sure it's related to these humming reports but there is a lot more ambient noise than most people appreciate. I live about five miles from Heathrow airport. Occasionally I will have planes taking off over our house which

There was a minefield laid between Scotland and Norway in WW1 and then a similar one laid in WW2. There are potentially over 100,000 devices still out there from what I remember reading. We also dumped an awful lot of nasty stuff in Beaufo
