    A friend posted a photo today captioned "travel essentials" and it's all herbal teas and Emergen-C and such, which whatever, but also colloidal silver

    I know it will accomplish absolutely zero by trying to tell her to throw that out, but man, I really want to

    What the hell is colloidal silver

  • Options
    Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Colloidal silver (a colloid consisting of silver particles suspended in liquid) and formulations containing silver salts were used by physicians in the early 20th century, but their use was largely discontinued in the 1940s following the development of safer and effective modern antibiotics.[8][9] Since the 1990s, colloidal silver has again been marketed as an alternative medicine, often with extensive "cure-all" claims. Colloidal silver products remain available in many countries as dietary supplements and homeopathic remedies, although they are not effective in treating any known condition and carry the risk of both permanent cosmetic side effects such as argyria and more serious ones such as allergic reactions, as well as interactions with prescription medications.[10][11]

    Astronauts are given a weight/size allowance for personal goods when they go up there. There's probably a small museum worth of personal property that has accumulated on the space station.

    And they all have to be sniffed by some dude to make sure they're not flammable or otherwise going to get everyone killed.

    Speaking of things going around in space...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpsQimYhNkA

    Do not adjust your set. That's the view Juno had on final approach towards Jupiter, showing all four Galilean moons orbiting the gas giant. As it gets closer towards the end of the video, you can even begin to pick out the distinctive Jovian banding.

    It lasts just long enough to see a full orbit of Callisto (17 days or so). Closer in, you can see Io, Europa, and Ganymede. You can even pick out their 1:2:4 orbital resonance and see them disappear into the shadow of Jupiter. Okay first off, HOW COOL IS THAT? We almost never see Jupiter eclipse its moons, on account of it being a long long way from both us and the Sun so mostly its shadow is behind it from our perspective, but here we're almost side on and get to see them disappear and reappear and squee. Also, actual footage of the orbital resonance. I'm not sure how long I could watch Io go round and round in time with Europa and keep coming back to the same mark again and again, but I'm willing to find out. For Science.

    Now that Juno is in orbit, we won't have a chance to see all 4 moons moving around like this again. But that's cool, we'll have lots of other exciting things coming out of Juno and JunoCam, so I'm sure I'll find a way to deal with the loss somehow.

    By this, they mean you turn blue. Like this guy turned blue:

    So unless you actually want to be blue, it's best to avoid eating a bunch of silver.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    I'm aware of this, just figuring they would ration out their precious few grams of personal weight nowadays to more modern devices than multiple CD players

    a few people bringing some up back in 2001 makes the most sense to me
