I think the worldwide average for men is something like 172-175cm so you are definitely tall. That said, it's still abhorrent that some people are not allowed to fly remotely comfortably because of a handful of their genes.

I understand the naysayers' point but a functioning EPA would work WITH Canada. We could, you know, be a good neighbor. Together both nations could help predict fires, track them, respond together, etc. The current environment of aggression is not the only possible course of action. Unfortunately, there is no hope in that changing this moment.

There is a Chronicles of Riddick original Xbox game that I really enjoyed. It felt low budget even at the time, but it tells the story of his escape from prison and how he got his eyes modified. I played it after watching the first two movies and it felt good to get more of the universe.

I totally agree with your Ziploc bag analogy lol. If the only concern was reducing lead exposure, I bet just a plastic bag would be enough. However, if we are only talking about using the weapon and bringing it home, does storage really matter? If the particles are all over your clothes, you are just dragging that lead everywhere.

I'm thinking it's more to do with what one of the other commenters said, lack of storage suggests a certain attitude. If you're not storing it, you are probably moving it around the house, cleaning it on the table, etc. So maybe both groups of people have the same amount of lead on their weapon, but the storage group takes it straight to the gun safe instead of leaving it in their pants and letting it sprinkle heavy metal surprises around the house?

Interesting take. That's not the conclusion that they're drawing but it's certainly possible. I also want to know the mechanism for the increased lead levels. Are kids chewing on the bullets? Is lead somehow deposited in the home?

Edit: I read it again and I feel like something is still missing. Firing a gun leads to lead particles on clothing that come back home. But lack of storage leads to more lead in the children. If you don't store your gun, are you waving it around your house? Firing it in the basement?

I think this is the most realistic answer and is most likely true. He set up his ending and everyone hated it, so now he's trapped

I've never heard of anything connected to her. What did she do?
