well, i don'teat fish, so that's no bother to me.Been the science geek I am I have seen that vid' a few times, just to add the use of mercury was banned in many countries, the EU starting imposing bans in about 2009 and is linked to the fact it is a neurotoxin, the liquid blobs out of equipment like above still should be handled with caution as they can and do react with skin even if your not aware, it can be disposed of through the correct channels safely.
The issue with mercury poisoning is its mostly from other sources not yet effected by the ban and gets into the food chain, typically fish, one of the biggest polluters of mercury in the world is burning coal as this releases it into the atmosphere that eventually gets into the water system and the food chain.... treat it with a lot of respect
It really only effects certain kind of sea life, quick growing short lived fish don't tend to show any real build up but the long lived choices can contribute to mercury poisoning which is accumulative in the body and can do a lot of damage, shell fish and certain breeds of fish were tested to contain dangerous levels of mercury, if regularly consumed.. it's effects are nasty in deed and often irreversible, there are several forms of mercury thus the detrimental effects vary and how we come into contact with it, it's in the air, in our foods and in our old electronics, not a lot you can do except avoid the known issues...
Darn shame as mixed with mayo on a crispy baked potato, I’d say it was worth the risk!
Oh, that's what they are!Interesting to see ceramic beads used to insulate the flexible cables.
anyone who puts donkey snot (mayo) on food, or eats fish, deserves all the ills that come with this so called healthy eating. there's no mercury in a rare sirloin steak and chips with fried onions and mushrooms, complimented, of course, with real ale.Tuna, being a predatory fish and top of the ocean food chain is said to contain the most mercury because of the accumulation up the chain - darn shame as mixed with mayo on a crispy baked potato, I’d say it was worth the risk!
You have steroids in steak, how large are your Moobs?anyone who puts donkey snot (mayo) on food, or eats fish, deserves all the ills that come with this so called healthy eating. there's no mercury in a rare sirloin steak and chips with fried onions and mushrooms, complimented, of course, with real ale.
toothpaste isnt meant to be ingested as fluoride calcifies bones and its like nuclear decay in reverse, it can only be added to.anyone who puts donkey snot (mayo) on food, or eats fish, deserves all the ills that come with this so called healthy eating. there's no mercury in a rare sirloin steak and chips with fried onions and mushrooms, complimented, of course, with real ale.
Please don't tell Tel that there is also something wrong with his real ale also, as I don't think he'll recover from the double blow.You have steroids in steak, how large are your Moobs?

Thats good for Cheshire, must be the fluoride in the water............at 71 i'm too old to care.
when things were engineered, not just thrown together.View attachment 39808 Changed a faulty rheostat on a machine the other day, on a 1930's/40's intertype, containing a mercury switch. There are actually two of them, the larger one controlling a heating pot for the molten lead and the this faulty one for the 'mouth' to keep small feeder holes hot to the letter mags. I managed to get a used replacement from a printing trade engineer. Note the really flimsy hr cores..to allow mercury switch operation without interference.View attachment 39807
