The RDA is an measly 150mcg. Meanwhile, the water is chlorinated, fluoridated, and many household objects are treated with bromine as a flame retardant. Check out the periodic table and you will understand these halogens are competing for the iodine receptors.
The Japanese consume over 12mg of iodine daily from their diet.
Introduction: I have noticed that average people are clueless about ergonomics laws and don't understand that touchscreens in cars are uneasy and dangerous. I asked Grok AI to explain why.
Touch control screens in cars are becoming more common, but they’re a growing hazard. Unlike physical buttons or knobs, touchscreens require drivers to look away from the road. Studies show that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles the risk of a crash. With touchscreens, drivers often need more time to find and tap the right spot, pulling their focus from driving.
Physical controls, like buttons and dials, follow the laws of ergonomics. They let drivers operate them by feel, without glancing down. Research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that tasks taking longer than 12 seconds to complete, common with touchscreens, significantly increase distraction. Physical controls are faster and instinctive, reducing mental and visual strain.
Common sense backs this up too. Imagine adjusting the heat or radio while driving. A knob can be turned blindly, but a touchscreen demands precision and attention. A 2021 study by the AAA Foundation showed drivers using touchscreens were distracted up to 50% longer than with physical controls. In high-speed situations, those extra seconds can be deadly.
Carmakers chasing sleek designs ignore this at our peril. Physical controls aren’t just nostalgic. They’re proven safer. Laws of ergonomics prioritize efficiency and intuition, not flashy gimmicks. Touchscreens might look modern, but they clash with how humans actually function behind the wheel.
Design experts have sounded the alarm. Automotive designer Frank Stephenson, known for the Mini Cooper, has called touchscreens “a step backward” for safety. Jony Ive, ex-Apple design chief, once stressed that interfaces should never compromise usability for aesthetics. Their warnings echo the data: cars need physical controls to keep drivers focused and roads safer.
A fine presentation of the dreaded "fully semi-automatic assault revolver".
This is what fuzzy little foreigners think "Country Americans" are like.
Americans think this is what Texans are like.
Imagine that shotgun reload would be useful for keeping niggers out of the melon patch from the kitchen door.
(That "Comin' to git yer ass" walk between shooting stations was smooth too. When you're wondering whether she's going for the rifle or the willow switch.)
Back on the patriots.win website, they used to post photos of guns every Sunday. Then one day it stopped almost entirely.
I like the idea of goats practicing their Constitutional rights. Does this draw some sort of nefarious attention? Did something bad happen? I mean, I can see avoiding getting the serial numbers in the photograph. But they're just harmless firearms.
I'd see it as a net positive that we encourage each other on a weekly basis to better stay stacked and packed. (Yes, I am currently going through another gun phase)
