Food safety Lesson: Maggots themselves are not dirty, if you were to eat a living maggot (fly ones obviously not others), they would just die in your digestive tract. What maggots do imply is that the food was exposed to the environment and in close proximity to garbage, rotting food...etc where flies are present. So the food has probably been contaminated with untold amounts of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Either way, throw that food away because if you eat it, something that you cannot see will probably kill you or poisons you in a way that leaves you with some sort of disability. Edit: The toxins that bacteria and fungi produce are no joke. Even if contaminated food is fully cooked, you can still get poisoned and die.

Visited a few cities in China 6 years ago. We stayed in 4 star hotels where the food was good. However, during the day we would be out visiting sites and we were brought to restaurants. Each one of them was not really good. A few people in our group were sick because they wanted to try the food that was served. Sometimes, we didn’t even know what type of food was being served. At the airport waiting for our flight back home to Canada, my wife ate a pizza at Pizza Hut. She got sick from that food as well, never eat milk products from China.

That's so sad. 😔 For the Chinese people themselves obviously, but also for tourists wanting to get to know genuine Chinese cuisine. I visited China in 2005, for two weeks, and all of the food was SOOO good, I basically would overeat at each meal, normally I don't do that. 😅 We would eat as a group at various restaurants, big or small, posh or not, rarely in the hotels themselves, and it was organized privately, so it was quite random. I personally didn't give a fck and also bought from street vendors/carts, pineapple quarters on a stick, ice cream, a cooked duck egg,... I temporarily took on 5 kg of weight in that short time. I acknowledge that might not be much compared to what other people say they gain of weight during, say, the holidays, but for me it was new, I always was and am slim and had the same weight with very little fluctuation. So yes, back then, all the Chinese food was delicious (and presumably relatively safe), from Beijing to Shanghai. It saddens me very much that I and other people won't have that experience again ... 😢 I generally do like the Chinese and other Eastasian food that we can get here (Austria) in restaurants, but there were just so much more variants and choices in China, and it was made with much more finesse. 💔

[@FlashOnTwos]

During my visits to China from 2015 to 2019, I saw many alarming things with regards to the food supply. First, they had more food available than I could ever imagine. Food stores, markets, all flooded with "fresh" vegetables, fruits, and meats. It all looked so perfect too. No flaws. Then I saw the spraying going on in the fields. Lots of it. I saw them dumping who knows what into the waterways. I could NEVER drink water from the tap. It had to first be filtered, then boiled. Truckloads of bottled water arrived daily in the city (Changchun). Where'd all that plastic go? The Chinese people have set themselves up for a major disaster with their food supply.

[@dontcare7086]

Filtered boiled tap water doesn't do anything as far heavy metals. These guys have explained that on their channels as well. That's why the chinese don't bother with anything but bottled water. If you were filtering and boiling it you sucked down heavy metals the entire time you were there and should really get regular blood work and other testing done for the rest of your life. I'm not trying to scare you. Getting a yearly checkup is not going to identify a lot of the health issues heavy metals cause. You have to explain this to your doctor because standard blood work panels won't check for the areas you need regular testing in due to insurance only covering the cheapest most ineffective panels. Insurance generally covers the panels you should be getting but your doctor has to order them and has to tell your insurance you have just cause to get the panels done. Doctors doing yearly blood work aren't ordering certain cancer detections, organ failure, etc.. caused by Chinese tap water contaminated with heavy metals and factory runoff you cannot filter or boil.

China was an empire during 19th century and had an emperor. But then opium war brought by England drug Lords came and destroyed everything. They lost the war on drugs and the last dynasty ended. Then a period of warlords, then war and finally communism. In 1979 they started to play Anglo-Saxon money games in that new Lassies Faire regime that turned China into the perfect libertarian dream it is today with almost absolute deregulation and absurdly low taxes. This lack of intervention and regulation is what causes all this food problem. It is a consequence of the libertarian economic environment business enjoy.

Food safety always seemed to be a problem in the past for China. I heard about plastic rice. Baby milk, that had issues and now is imported e.g. from Germany. (In the west there have been food safety issues in the past as well, a hundred year ago in the victorian age in britain.) Also the massive pollution is troubling. Industrial expansion and few regulations. If drinking water is unusable, that impacts food safety as well.

@@EireHammer - Helium 3 is a popular myth. It could be a clean fusion fuel, but no reactor that can use it yet exists (think how long we've already been waiting for deuterium-tritium reactors). Plus, it's at such a low concentration on the lunar surface that it will require a major energy infrastructure, presumably solar powered, to extract. But then it would be simpler to use that solar power directly. Prof. John S. Lewis discusses this in his classic book "Mining the Sky".

[@EireHammer]

@@Astronist I disagree that it's a myth, you are definitely correct in the assessment of how difficult extraction/production would be, the reactor issue would be tackled once a significant amount was available for us (people are going to have to wake up to the reality our current green technology and supply chain are vastly inferior to our current energy requirements) I'll definitely be checking out the book that you mentioned!

Thanksgiving commemorates a harvest festival, so I wouldn't say the Western world forgot about them. ;) I'd argue that the concept of a harvest festival responds to a desire buried deep in the human heart, so brushing that concept aside completely is not actually a good thing. With that said, an interesting contrast can certainly be made between a harvest festival that celebrates a successful harvest because the alternative was a live possibility and a commemoration-of-a-harvest-festival that calls back to a time when successful harvests weren't guaranteed to help people who quite reasonably take successful harvests for granted understand how lucky they are to be able to take successful harvests for granted.

Seriously: I can not afford this wallet. BUT being vision impared I totally get the idea and am inspired! Off to a DIY project

[@tesseract_1982]

I've painted several little tools with fluorescent orange 🧡 nail varnish, and also with fluorescent RED ❤ nail varnish that I mixed myself. You need to apply white first, as all fluorescent colors are quite transparent. Also always cover it with a clear top coat. I did this more for fun, during the lockdowns, but damn it looks good, AND it definitely helps finding the stuff in dim light. I already gave away two of these pens... Of course it also glows in blacklight!! ❤🧡 If you go for glow in the dark, here's two things: 1) Use strontiumaluminate based pigments, NOT the old zinc sulfide pigments. Their performance is literally 10x better. They are also available in several glow colors. Green, aqua/cyan/turquoise, and blue, are the three ones that have decent performance. 2) They must not be used in water based paints, the pigment degrades instantly at contact with water. Use other solvents or coating resin. There are coated versions available though, that can be used with water. 3) Glow-in-the dark paracord, micro cord (= thinner), and "dog leash rope" (a stiffer rope) ARE available online, and most use the new glow pigments. You could braid little pendants for the zippers of your wallet and for your keyrings, or something like that. Just an idea. Same goes for fluorescent paracord obviously. If you need more infos about glowy stuff, just ask. 😂 💚

Seek for craft shops that focus on paracord. ( Website names removed. 😒 ) Tip, in case strontiumaluminate is not mentioned directly: if the product description uses wordings like "new generation glow pigments" or tells of "high performance glow pigments", in this case it is usually true. If, on the other hand, a cheap offering of three or four 10 m bundles of glow-in-the-dark paracord is shown, and on the daylight photos one has that typical pale yellowish-green, while the others have pastel colours or fluorescent colours, BUT on the night pictures ALL look a shade of green more or less, these are NOT using the new pigments. 😉 I am using nail polish for small objects after trying out many other lacquers, that take forever to dry. 🤨 1) It dries very quicky and is not too runny. Relevant since this pigment is very heavy. 2) The surface (with clear coat) is resistive and non-sticky, and won't collect dirt easily. 3) It is more on the elastic side than brittle. If applied on polystyrene or polycarbonate, hard PVC, glass, metal, or wood, it barely ever chips off or breaks. If, say, a painted pen pushes against keys in a bag very strongly, the coating might get a slight dent, but it won't chip off. If mixing clear nail varnish with pigments (as opposed to liquid solvent based dyes), you might need to thin down the result with acetone for a bit, as it might get too viscous. Also, reckon on the components separating to a degree after a while, so that you need to shake it. Ready bought nail varnish in many cases does not do that (others have a steel bead in them for shaking), because they can adjust the viscosity and weight of the components. Also, there is definitely no need to buy an expensive nail varnish. Not worth the money. For example, I'm using "Look", the own brand of the Bipa chain, it is very cheap, and others were no bit more resistant or easy to apply. For coating, I use clear or matte varnish from the same brand.

If a territory is able to house a billion then that much is going to live there. You can not artificialy lower or increase number of population, its not sustainable. There is an underlying economy beneath an increased or decreased popultion.
