Torts against the government are a funny thing. It requires anti-government attitude to suggest that the government is incompetent, harmful, or criminal, but the solution is always more programs, more taxes, more laws, more bureaucracy. Oh and the ‘victims’? They will sign on expecting a huge payout, claim all kinds of problems, and end up with $0 and a weekly appointment with a VA occupational therapist. If they happen to have a problem that can actually be solved, too bad, no funding.

#192That chemical is trichloroethylene. Even Science does clickbait now.

I'm very curious about SWP. How does it taste compared to good light roasted single origins?
I am very sensitive to caffeine and recently switched to decaf only after drinking coffee daily for 20+ years. I drink mainly Mountain Water Processed coffee, which is the same thing but from coffee sourced in South America. It is roasted by a local roaster in Minneapolis. I honestly can't tell the difference between the decaf and regular (except for the lack of caffeine). Also, SWP or MWP coffee removes nearly all c…

#196Widely used chemical *(that was generally phased out in the 70s) linked to Parkinson's. Still important, but you don't need to start searching product labels in 2023 for it.
TCE is present at Lowry in Denver, an old air force base that is now a huge development of multi-million dollar homes and townhomes. This article is from 2000, before the housing development began. People knew TCE was there but the housing development happened anyway https://extras.denverpost.com/news/news1126.htm It’s also at Stapleton, another huge residential area, and previously Denver’s primary airport: “At the…

> It never made sense to me to use hydrocarbon solvents in a food application I get your point, but isn't this kind of a broad statement? After all, ethanol is a hydrocarbon solvent, and it's been used in food applications for a long time.
Ethanol is also a horrible toxin, it just happens to be common enough in nature that our bodies, and animal bodies as well, have had hundreds of thousands of years to evolve some mitigations against.
Re: Widely used chemical strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease
#198This title is click bait. You could easily just include the name of the "widely used chemical" in the title.
Sure, it is trichloroethylene, but that would lose 99% of the audience as soon as they see a word that they can't pronounce. Widely used is accurate, it is everywhere.
Re: Widely used chemical strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease
#199This is to some degree reassuring; as the chemical was phased out in the 1970s, maybe it means Parkinson's rates among people who are middle aged or younger today, and thus much less likely to have been exposed, will be lower than boomer+ rates.
