Every hardwood floor installer I’ve talked to recommended NOT using Murphys Oil Soap. The reason they gave was that it leaves a thin film which builds up over time. When it comes time to refinish the floor, that film makes it difficult and more expensive.

Depends on the material. I wouldn’t use that on hardwood floors, for example.

Most of the work is mechanical. Soap/alkalis help with grease/oils by making them mix in water. Dirt particles will stick to oils and go along. Acids will break up minerals, kill fungus/mildew and deodorize.

• Dirty, greasy areas: alkalis
• Mineral deposits, areas that have biofilms, mold, mildew: acids

All purpose: a little of both

Thrown a couple drops of Dawn^* in your mix for an all purpose cleaner. Just be careful where you use it. Leave out the acids for more delicate surfaces.

*I don’t mean to push certain brands but Dawn is cheap and good at what it does.

That doesn’t make homeopathic medicine “generally still true”.

You’re just adding more fraud.

Out of curiosity, what’s an example of something that is sold as homeopathic that is an effective medication? And why isn’t it approved as a medication?

You don’t have type all of that. E.g. on iOS you type two dashes and it is automatically converted to an emdash.

Sitting around a table in the school library and trying not to giggle while a catholic priest told us about the dangers of sex, that it was for procreation only and that abortion was evil.

This priest had left that parish a few years earlier but they brought him back to teach sex ed.

It was later learned that he had been molesting children while at the parish.

We live in a hyperbolic age. People’s attention has been commodified so almost all messaging is exaggerated to pull attention to one pole or another. Nuance and patient, thoughtful debate can’t live in that atmosphere.
