Do you really need an independent peer-reviewed study to know if inhaling brake dust is bad for you or not? At some point, it's important to trust your instincts. I don't think you need a medical degree to understand that inhaling

True, very true. The problem is that while living in the US you run the risk of violent crime, mass shootings and general crime being obscenely higher than in the EU (or any other developed country). Also you're always only one major h

Huh, we had an outdoor pool with no heating other than just being outside in the sun, and it would regularly get too warm. We would only swim after about 11pm. We also thought it was too cold to swim if the air temp was below 35C (95F). Aus
