@foone average amount of crts a normal person buys is zero. crts georg, who lives in the 1980s and buys 200 crts a week, is an outlier and should be discounted

@foone I think you're a big CRT spender even by 80's standards

@foone Less than 2 per week, so you're still good to spec

@foone That's still completely fine, the sample size is too low to identify a statistically significant abnormal trend

@foone I'm sorry to say, even 25 years ago that would have been much over the average of a normal private person

@foone Assuming I understood the context correctly and you are referring specifically to display devices only, rather than the sum total of all CRT components: Your intake is comfortably, but not excessively, above the minimum recommended amount, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about.However, in case you experience any discomfort, do not hesitate to contact your local emergency department of toxic substances control. (Sounds weird, but they'll get you primo glass stat.)
