Drug Abuse: What to Do​

13/14
Worried that someone you love might be abusing drugs? The best thing to do is ask directly. Keep an eye out for signs of abuse, like behavior changes or missing medicines.
Many kids assume that common household drugs or even prescription medicines are safer than street drugs because they're legal. Explain the risks. Head off problems -- and clean out your medicine cabinet. Get rid of the drugs you don't need, and keep track of the ones you do.

Did the children who were brought up in Hitler Youth continue to believe in Nazism after the war because they had been indoctrinated when...

Jean-Marie Valheur's answer: The son of Hitler’s private secretary, Martin Adolf Bormann, was one of ten Nazi children, heavily indoctrinated pretty much since birth. He recalled the moment the radio announced that Hitler had committed suicide in Berlin, and that “all was now lost”. Young Borman...

Polypropylene is generally considered safe for use, but you should still be wary of using plastics more often than you have to. The chemicals found in plastic products are proven to contribute to some cancers. While it's nearly impossible to avoid all plastic products, you can use as little plastic as possible.
 
One milligram is one thousandth of a gram and one thousand micrograms. ... It is usually abbreviated as mcg or ug. Mcg and ug are the same.

The smokiest city in America is:

No. 1: Los Angeles​

11/19
2021’s smog capital is the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area, home to 18.7 million people. The city’s crowded freeways definitely play a role in creating ozone levels, but LA’s famous sunny weather doesn’t help. Sunshine ramps up smog levels, aggravating symptoms for the 1.5 million residents who have some form of asthma.

It’s possible that the nail comes loose with a fungal infection, or eventually falls off. This is usually not a problem. The core of the infection is in the nail bed, so if the nail falls off there is a good chance that it will grow back nicely if you continue to treat the nail bed. The nail bed is the most important place to treat, which is why we normally ask to file the top of the nail twice a week. In this way the nail becomes thinner which causes the product to penetrate the nail easier, reach the nailbed and treat the core of the infection.
 
Came across this trove of interesting/useless trivia.

Are they true or just a good story?

DID YOU KNOW ! ! !
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot and; then once a
day it was taken and sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss
Poor"

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they
Didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't
just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still
smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides
carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a
bouquet when getting Married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of
the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.
Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it..
Hence the saying,"Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water !";

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only
place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the
roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the
roof... Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the
bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed
with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy
beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt
poor."The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they
spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added
more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of
wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire..
Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not
get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold
overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there
for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in
the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth
that a man could, "Bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and
would all sit around and chew the fat.

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of
the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with
tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family
got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the
imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead
and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and
the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of holding a wake.

The country is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave.

When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the
inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on
the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a
bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen
for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that's the truth....Now, whoever said History was boring?

Did you know, that going back in history to Pompeii local shops would have large pots outside known as ' Piss pots' for that very purpose. It would be used to wash clothes particularly of the Roman armies who would return after very many months. Younger members of a community would be given jobs as Tramplers and be encouraged to piddle in the washing whilst working although old urine was better.
www.technology.org

You won't believe what people of Roman Empire used urine for - they laughed at this themselves - Technology Org

We as humans are kind of weird. We don’t like contact with our own body fluids, despite them being rather sterile. For example, our own pee makes us feel icky

Why did a Belgium voting computer add an extra 4000 plus votes to a marginal candidate in a 2003 election ?

It’s easier than you think. To slice it, cut off a side to the right of the seed, then cut off a side to the left of the seed. Then slice into the flesh of each side without cutting all the way through the skin, and scoop out the slices with a spoon.

My method is to bite the skin and peel it off. Then I just munch it all at once.

It always annoyed me when a very bright mathematical person excitedly speaking at speed and writing quickly produced loads of numbers expecting me to be equally excited buy it.
