    All cancer is toxin exposure. The cure has been known for a long time, no toxin exposure.

    Butt…families of cancer victims vote for pollution and smoke, etc.

    Lost a family member to cancer in a cancer cluster around a church-owned industrial plant.

    When the cases piled up, they did like Jesus woukd do and moved to another state. Didn’t have money for raises for years because working for the Lord, but did hire consultants to fire employees and shut the plant down.

    Keep believing us, we care, and we’re working on a cure until federal funding and charities run out of money.

    Sponsored by your friends in the petrochemical industry.








  • Thank you, that’s the piece of info I never had. If it’s not a Reddit-level fact. The 2 channels were new and people wete trying things out and mind-altering substances were freely available as well, so judgment might have been hogtied at times.

    At the time, there was sentiment that it was a way to sell two amplifiers and speakers instead of one, a suspicion furthered by the later arrival of quad, which for many was a bridge too far. Audio places tried that briefly and then went back to selling stereo. And may be why a certain generation looks askance at 5.1 etc.

    There were other changes as well, tubes/valves to solid state plus hybrids…when I read about Cloud products in IT, it rhymes, marketing hoodoo inveigling into genuine tech appraisals.

    Celsius tried to fit too much into 100 notches to please big math.

    F is more nuanced with more notches, but the ends aren’t logical. It coukd be shifted perhaps, but how?

    If freezing was moved to 0, then water boiling would be 180

    Perhaps C could have had a 200 degree range, then it would be closer to F and not so hard to convert.

    But also: Scientists are important and we shouldn’t make it too easy, it demeans their work. Maybe make the C scale show water boiling at 183.4521 degrees so scientific calculations are more impressive-looking and respectable.
