No, it’s not… At least not in this case…
GenX is a trade name for a chemical technology used to manufacture nonstick and high-performance fluoropolymers without using PFOA. Classified as a “forever chemical,” it belongs to the PFAS family. While considered a safer alternative to older compounds by manufacturers, GenX is highly persistent and linked to liver, kidney, and developmental toxicities…
Thanks for breaking that down.
Nonstick as in nonstick cookware I guess. l
You can see the confusion arising from both an age bracket and a forever chemical having the same name.
The various comments above are why I walk past the ‘organic’ produce.
Yes. Occasionally they get things right too. Our air is a lot cleaner now than it was 50 years ago and car tailpipe emissions have gotten significantly better.
I was referencing a city utility that is recycling sewer waste into clean, beneficial soil amendments that benefit the local community. Not a mega-business.
I walk past it because it generally costs more and I don’t see the value in it.
If you say so…
There have been Covid arguments in the past, some forum members were suspended and never returned.
A reminder from the forum guidelines;
- Stick broadly to cars. Tom and Ray digressed with great comic effect, but they always came back to the subject at hand. Let’s do the same.
Don’t divert a topic by diverting the topic without making it broadly relevant to the original post.
“Brain Fog” associated with long Covid is hardly going ‘nuts’.
Thank gawd, so Ebola also is fake, measles, mumps, rubella too? Gee, wonder what I had when the blood culture grew out Pneumococcal pneumonia.
Anyway, back to planes, trains, and automobiles.
Did you forget to include the options?
No, all you have to do is click on It_s-Me picture in mediagroup.feedback.mail_196835 post and it will show you all 3 options… Been that way as long as I have been on here…
@Julie-Lent-Managing-Editor and or @GorehamJ
Might be time for a little clean up above… up to y’all…
So you need to know the “Secret Handshake…” huh?
If you look at media group profile you will suspect a stealth Spammer.
Fixed bridges are great, but sometimes they won’t work. The Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge is a bascule bridge on the DC beltway with a clearance of 70 ft. When the Navy comes to call that isn’t enough and they have to raise the bridge. At rush hour, of course. Really. I was on I-495 when that happened. Fortunately I was going to SE DC and didn’t need to use the bridge. I bet there were a lot of Very Unhappy drivers that morning.
I would call that a draw bridge, but I’m not French.
North of us is Coleman Bridge Over the York River and it is a swing bridge…
I used my Drone and created this 360-degree Photosphere Photo of the bridge and surrounding area and I published it on Google Earth and Google Maps… If you click on the photo, you can scroll all around the photo to look in all directions and you can even zoom…
I also created a video of the drive across the bridge… The scrolling structure across the bottom of the video is a side view of the bridge that I shot with my drone and it’s sync’d pretty good with the passage of the bridge…
Our fixed bridges always work, it’s the lift bridges that fail. A friend worked on them. The two main roads leading to the Kennedy Space Center had draw bridges, one draw bridge was replaced last year with a fixed high rise bridge.
This bridge in Liverpool NY (1 mile from Syracuse) is famous for eating trucks. There are over 50 signs and flashing lights warning drivers about this low railroad bridge. And yet at least once a year some idiot hits it.

There have been so many measures taken attempting to warn vehicles (trucks, trailers, etc…) that are so high that they might hit a low bridge… As has been noted, Signs are often ignored or not seen, even when multiple signs are erected…
Then the next step up is a non-destructive guard that hangs over the road that is at the same height as the bridge and if a vehicle is too high, it hits the guard creating a loud noise to notify the driver, who hopefully will stop before hitting the bridge… Of course there are those drivers who say they heard the noise and decided to “check it out” at the next stop… 
And perhaps the most proactive method is a non-destructive guard that hangs over the road that is at the same height as the bridge and if a vehicle is too high, it hits the guard creating a loud noise to notify the driver, and has Flashing Lights to further notify the driver. And even with these, some drivers ignore the noise, flashing lights and continue into the bridge, saying, “What noise, what lights, I didn’t hear or see anything…” (Well, turn your radio down, pay attention to your driving, and take off those headphones…)
