How do I test cast iron cookware for lead

Jump

  • Were they ever made with lead? Sounds like a bad choice for something that goes in an oven, since lead has such a low melting point. Not that I know anything, just pontificating.

    • Why stand in line to board an airplane?

  • Lol hadn't thought of it, but not surprised.

    • If you couldn't help, who can?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had heard that too and eventually looked up the research paper and it's bs, lil. It's pretty much an academic paper just saying maybe they do and someone should look into it... No actual results. Not the paper fault - media spinned it.

    • As if we need another reason to switch to GNU/Linux

    Jump

  • Read the whole paper though. It has percentages. Just sayin

  • I read it, it's from 2013

    Jump

  • For the record, people claim that cat purring cures things (heals bones, for example). This is not true. There is a published academic paper claiming it, I read it, tldr it's total garbage.

    Jump

  • True, agreed!

    • As if we need another reason to switch to GNU/Linux

    Jump

  • Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.

    Jump

  • Cause it shouldn't be the customers responsibility to accommodate other customers, it's the airline's responsibility.

    Jump

  • I donno, I think airlines that cram in more seats without increasing overhead storage are subhuman.

    • Why stand in line to board an airplane?

    Jump

  • Yep, you're right. If you don't want your carry on checked, then be in the front of the line.

    Jump

  • Surprised no one mentioned this, but carry-on bags are no longer free for all - only free for the first ones in line.

    • Metapod Rule

    Jump

  • Metapod occurs among adult women between pupation and ecdysis.

    • Surveys are fundamentally flawed as a scientific method due to their inherent biases and often unreliable data.

    Jump

  • If you look into the other methods, they're also filled with flaws and biases.

    • The Bible story of the apple was probably originally a birds-and-the-bees type talk. Probably for girls.

    Jump

  • No it isn't part of the story of creation.

    No it isn't rude.

    Jump

  • No it isn't

  • Lol, no, I really just mean thanks for writing the informative comment.

  • I've been to 30 or so national or international conferences in biology, and have never had an abstract rejected. I don't think I'm doing anything special, so I assume pretty much everyone gets in. More presenters = more money. I've also been on the selection committee side and it is definitely not more selective than peer review. We're only reviewing an abstract, usually under 100 words. Prob varies by field though. Maybe medical conferences are selective?
