It is privacy. I don't have mess, just don't feel like sharing inside of my house with strangers. Maybe I'm working in weird company, but I noticed that vast majority of coworkers either have camera off, blurs the background or sets up a fake one.

As a parent I rather not have government tell me what is approved thing and what's not. I'm not LGBT and not interested in drag shows but honestly the whole thing is blown out of proportion.

I find it ridiculous that countries like Poland are heavily against LGBT, then the same people will turn on TV to watch cabaret (note the meaning in US is different than in Europe) and watch male comedians dressed as women for comedic effect (e.g. https://youtu.be/iM87cjLCCwI?t=63)

I'm guessing you don't work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.

There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don't want to show your room to everyone.

Having said that I can't think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google's way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.

Did you try agent spoofing (which probably won't work in the future because of this). This sounds like things Microsoft (and now Google) does to make their product look better.

If you want to have choice in the future you should go with Firefox. Google is close to (or maybe already did) make Chrome equivalent of the Internet Explorer.

The better thing to what was with IE is that majority of websites still work fine in Firefox and people who stick to Chrome just do due to mostly ignorance.

When I said half life, I made a mental shortcut that it degrades into harmless compounds.

The 12 days just means how long the body keeps most of tritium.

You are talking how much radiation the water causes and that it is smaller than radiation from banana, and I'm talking that this "banana" stays in your body for 12 days and part of it your body integrates by replacing your hydrogen with its radioactive counterpart.

You work with radiation, but this isn't just about radiation, but also involves organic chemistry and metabolism.

That 12 days is not a half life, but it is how long it stays in the body before you pee it out. This only matters if you had a single incident of drinking the water or eating contaminated food not if you are constantly exposed to it then each time you consume affected foods you know it stays with you for about 12 days and small part of it stays with you forever as your body doesn't see the difference between tritium and hydrogen, so it will be happy to use the radioactive version, which could increase your chances of cancer as well as your future generations.

Isn't the problem as much with the radiation itself as consuming radioactive elements that will stay in your body likely to the rest of your life and provide radiation from the inside?

I wish I could go back in time and tell them that TNG is going to rock.

Don't worry, they know now.

With ISP what is really need is Local-loop unbundling but extending to ISPs.

Those that are old enough to use DSL in early 2000, might remember there was a lot of ISPs to chose from. The reason for it was that due to Title II telco companies were required to lease lines to their competitors. When cable started to be popular, ISPs lobbied politicians to categorize it under Title I which removed that requirement. We got Internet back to be categorized as Title II, but this specific rule was excluded and this is what is necessary to bring the competition.

If it is too hard, I'll be ok if they just skip it and won't charge it.
