“Unbelievable But True”: 40 Random Facts And Curiosities About The World Shared On This IG Page

Will this really work? Or will it just drive a underground market of illegal cigarettes which have no control on their quality, meaning they could be smoking any old s**t?

Yet, knowing underage smokers,. they'll find a way. Sorry for being so pessimistic so early on pandas

While smoking isn't the smartest thing to do, I'm concerned when laws like this are passed. What bothers me is the idea that people who make these laws are not always thinking them through. Prohibition laws did nothing but prove if people want something bad enough they will find ways to get it and other will provide it. Also, I'm not in favor of other people creating laws which restrict a person's right to do something within reasonable limits.

Imports of cigs will get higher then. Just like other drugs. Won't know what's it them.

Mixed feelings on this one. Yes I know smoking is bad, but it's also a personal choice, there are plenty of laws in place to keep smokers from doing it around non smokers. And I'm glad that they implemented it on a timeline instead of forcing those who do smoke to quit cold turkey. I still have a feeling underage smokers will find a way to get cigarettes, just like they do already

If we're bringing this back then let's change enough coffee to enough good coffee

Judge: "So, it says here the reason for the divorce is coffee. Care to elaborate?" Wife: "He wouldn't take me to Starbucks!"

Turkish woman: "Okay, you stay awake and take care of all the kids and clean the house and basically do everything."

yuck i hate coffe

I love Turkish coffee, so this law is very understandable.

More important than reducing reflectivity--and I honestly had not previously heard that aspect of it--is that museum glass blocks most UV light. UV light can be very damaging to pigments and dyes.

Honestly never thought they used different types

I only found out a month ago that this special glass is now available for picture framing. It is not the same as normal non-reflecive glass. Normal non-reflecive glass just has a thin coating of dielectric that has a wavelength similar to that of green light. As a result the normal non-reflective glass gives transmitted light an unnatural hue and fails badly if it gets any oil on it. The new glass available for picture framing and museums is much better than normal non-reflective glass and much more expensive.

It is also available in an "Optium Museum Acrylic". It makes a HUGE difference, and the acrylic is also anti-static (specifically for fugitive art mediums such as pastels or charcoals), shatter and abrasion resistant, and it has the same U.V. light resistance (+99%) and minimal reflective properties as Museum glass. I use it on all artworks of value, monetary, as well as sentimental. In the long run, it is more expensive NOT to use it. Starry_Nig...f98bac.jpg

I'm a picture framer. It's very expensive, but worth it.

Hate to have to tell you this, but they have still emitted 7,000 tons of CO2, they are just claiming it has been offset by coming from a renewable source. If it hadn't been burnt, the CO2 would have stayed locked up in the oil. Yes, it's better than burning fossil fuels, but it is not emissionless.

Geenwashing BS... McD is still one of the biggest rainforest decimators, plastic garbage producers and obesity enhancers of the world.

Hmmm used cooking oil urrrgh.

So, if people want to eat healthy food then all these trucks will be stranded?
