Does aluminum foil contain PFAS and does cooking on them on the grill for example expose the food to forever chemicals?
reply
It does not, but aluminum oxide is even more of a "forever chemical" than teflon is, though less so than, for example, the nitrogen that constitutes 78% of the atmosphere.
reply
i guess in that case the question would be if one should be as worried about the biological effects of PFAS as much as these two other forever chemicals you cite

What's up with the dercuano, derctuo, and dernocua naming? Are there just these three? Does the naming follow some pattern?
reply
Well, "Dercuano" sounds like "Dirk One Oh" in English, so clearly the sequel should be "Dirk Two Oh". And "Dernocua" is the properly formed vesre of cuaderno, unlike "Dercuano", which unfortunately certain people were too polite to inform me was ill-formed until too late.

:-)

Mostly I wanted a name that was short, easy to remember, and unique.

Thanks! I keep unintentionally using https links to canonical.org since basically the whole web is https now. Fixed.
