OK, then take that cell phone call now

Great! I really learned a lot from this young lady.

But it doesn't change my view on low frequency magnetic fields in the sub mT region.

I was kidding about the cell phones, but it does make you think about what too much of it might be doing.

When I heard the noise during the discharge, it made me rember the time when I had an MRI scan and it took me a couple of days to dump the strange sensation that things seemed a little bit different. My wife said the same thing after she had one too. Has anyone else experienced that senation after an MRI?

Big,

The sense I had after my MRI was one of walking on eggshells for a few days, until the diagnosis came back - no tumors or other stuff. Then the sense I had was one of great relief.

While I enjoy the TED presentations, they have taught me to remain on critical alert. A year or so ago, the publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog recommended geo-engineering to solve our climate problems. Sounds like a pandora's box to me.

Well, everything is a matter of degree, isn't it?
> Too little water, you die; too much water, you die
> Too little heat, you die; too much heat you die

We humans live in a serendipitous comfort range in the Solar System and on Earth. So long we try to avoid the extremes, we should be OK.

Even a 99-story fall is only fatal in the last foot or so...

Wow. 98/99ths non-fatal. And the number gets bigger the higher you go.

Actually, assuming 8-ft floors, it's more like 99.87% non-fatal ;-)

I happen to think smart meters are dangerous for other reasons. It's a pre-excuse being built into the grid; so they can delay building generating stations by actually trying to micro-manage local brown outs that will otherwise result.
