    Obesogens

    A lot of this actually started from the people, if left to their own devices most governments try to not rock the boat too much. Back in the 80s it came to light that a lot of artificial colours and flavours and especially artificial preservatives are a direct cause of childhood hyperactivity...

    If you're using toilet paper or facial tissues then yes, that would make the problem much worse - the perfumes they spray on the paper are oils.

    Tresorit Password Problems

    There's very few options unless you're in contact with a dedicated hacker that knows what they're doing, and even then it might not work. I had a thought about your mention of trying different passwords though, this is known as a "brute force attack" and is something that will automatically...

    I keep a micro fibre cloth next to my computer to give the glasses a rough clean when they need it, which is way too often. Eventually though you just end up smearing the grease around instead of wiping it off, that's when I get up and use hot water.

    I know how you feel, I never needed glasses until I was in my 40s but now I can hardly see anything without them. I have many pairs because it's easy to lose them or to sit on them. To clean them properly run hot water over them for a minute or so then dry them with a very soft cloth.

    Presentation Autrice étoile polaire

    Hi Askas, welcome to the forum. We get lots of people coming here to do surveys and studies, that is fine, but there are some normal protocols that should be followed. Your survey should be anonymous, so having to log in to google to fill out your questionaire goes against the rules. You...

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    Australia's own ABC fills the same role and is just as good, and it gets the community support that it deserves. We just never had to pay for it directly, they're funded straight from tax revenue. Just In They've gone down hill a bit over the last 10 or 15 years, they used to be my favourite...

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    I never understood how they could charge people like that in the first place, it kind of makes a lie out of the term "free to air". As far as I know the UK is the only country in the world that does this.

    Obesogens

    That is very true and relevant to so many countries around the world, a lot of what you say after that though seems to be specific to your own country. Some governments take a very active interest in their population's general health. In Australia a lot of US produced foods are classed as unfit...

    Weird Time Zones

    And then there's Kunnanurra, on WA time but so far east of Perth that sun rise is at 5:30 am and sunset around 5:30 pm. All their clocks are set to WA time but business hours there are 7:30 am to 3:30 pm to be more closely aligned with Darwin.

    Weird Time Zones

    Central Australian timezone is forward by 30 minutes as well, so Adelaide is at GMT+9:30 standard time. This was done very early on to try and keep business hours closer to that on the east coast and make things a little easier for interstate trade. Then there's Broken Hill, a mining town in...

    Obesogens

    There's a few different factors that contribute to weight gain, or lack of ability to gain weight in some people. Chemicals so prevalent in today's world will certainly be another contributing factor but to blame them alone would be very misleading. Genetics plays a role, some of us are born...

    I don´t fit in anywhere

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Your story isn't much different to most of us here. Most of us keep getting this sort of advice all our lives and it isn't helpful. There's no point in trying to explain things to them because the great majority of people simply aren't capable of understanding, to...
