Safety is relative. There is no line. There's also no lead-free. That's why "no safe amount" is a useless statement.
That's why limits get established. They're actually useful.

Do you see how that's a difference sentence from what you said?
Do you see how how every country on earth allows a small but non-zero amount of lead in good because zero is impossible?

Reply to TIL that the talipot palm produces the world's largest flower cluster (inflorescence) containing one to several million flowers. It grows up to 25m tall, takes 30 to 80 years to reach maturity to flower and then dies immediately afterwards, having drained all its nutrients in the process. by embouteillagez
>containing one to several million flowers
I absolutely do not believe it has ever been just one flower without human intervention

Source? And definition of safe?
I'm not saying that the level of Hershey's chocolate is unacceptable, because I don't know, but clearly absolute zero is not possible.

Reply to comment by draconianRegiment in TIL that the Convair Model 118, a tentative flying car from 1947, was shelved because its prototype crashed when a test pilot mixed up the flight engine's fuel gauge with the road engine's and didn't see the former run out. While he survived, this killed interest in the project. by ShabtaiBenOron

Plus now the ascent stage has to use its engine twice unless I'm missing something. I'm really not seeing the benefit compared to Apollo-style.

Fossil fuel propaganda would be accusing everyone who asks questions about hydrogen generation compared to other carbon-neutral technologies of being shills regardless of whether they're suggesting that it's probably great for certain applications in other contexts and were doing so before you made your accusation.

They use real concerns in their propaganda because it's effective
But you'll note that I only mentioned carbon-neutral alternative technologies here, which terrifies the fossil fuel industry. Or maybe not. My hopes aren't high.

I could make up far worse lies about you but it would only make me look like more of a moron than you and I'd probably get banned for it.
Maybe if you pull you head out of your ass you'll figure out that deserts are real places with real environmental impact and while they're certainly not bad places for solar installation care must be taken to avoid erosion problems due to construction and lack of plants.
