As children, we smashed old batteries, shook the plates out of them with our bare hands, and melted them on the bonfire... 8) My generation is not impressed by anything. But people are getting weaker and more afraid of everything. :-// |

By the way, not so long ago in Russia, newspapers were printed with lead-containing paint. About 30-40 years ago. And I am not inclined to believe implicitly any sources at the same time. We often see inaccuracies and even deception. :) |

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is utter bullshit. Of course in some isolated cases it is true but generally (especially regarding biologically cumulative toxins), nope. You can read about the effects of lead at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning Re being afraid, it's also easier to live when you don't need to be afraid about something that has been removed. Really, 1900's was quite crappy century toxin-wise. A lot of shit we don't really need and which actually affects our health. Your (and mine) generation may not remember because things started to get better already in 1990's. Worst was before that. Asbestos alone was a killer, and these were really painful deaths. Good riddance. The flipside of better life is that some people get oversensitive to smaller and smaller things. But that's a completely different matter. We didn't poison ourselves 10 000 years ago, and don't need to do it now in order not to be "oversensitive". |

If they go the same way as lead paint, dichloromethane or corrosive chemicals then it'll be a training course or third party certification... or the most annoying option of all, needing to supply a "business only address".. which is an absolute PITA when you work from a residential address! --- End quote --- In our country, it seems all you need is a license number (in fact you can be a freelaancer - with your own VAT number, but you still need to register a license for electricals, meaning you need at least an official electrical education - meaning a random Joe can't get that kind of license). |
