I am thinking of making up some plywood sheets with that glue used on mouse and rat glue traps, but thicker. Lay them out along the edge of the stage and slow anyone down trying to get close. Put them right at the edge so there’s no broad jumping place to start from.

That’s how many will be at his retirement party.

I expect that third part is the most critical. Ensuring students have a place to study uninterrupted without financial pressure to contribute to the family budget would have aided several students I knew. An additional 4 hours a day, 28 hours a week, for study makes a large advantage.

DeSantis has already complained that it was a lie that he was there. Remember Ron, if you don’t get the joke, you might be the joke.

Menthol is a pain reliever that serves to mask the irritation from smoking. It’s primary purpose is to let people get through the initial choking cough period and ignore the damage smoking is doing once the addiction kicks in.

No! My parents would not get that. Instead I got Johnny Human Torch - a bag of oily rags and a lighter. That way if the batteries in the Halloween flashlight gave out (those carbon-acid cells always died when you really needed them) I could still go on, secure in the knowledge that drivers could see me.  

There are a huge number of solder joints in an LED bulb. A small crack can open up and prevent the electricity from flowing if the substrate/circuit board has an increase in temperature. Each time that happens the solder joint fracture gets a little damage and the temperature tolerance will get worse until it no…

There are two main killers in LEDs. (OK, maybe 3).

Oh - so unsafe by design is not a defective design? You might want to alert the legal system that all those product defect lawsuits need to be set aside.

I’m looking at the description of the 1850s Colts saying they have a safety hammer position that is engaged with a small movement to prevent the hammer from contacting the primer. In particular, by the 1870s -

Seems safer than my dream - a collection of toys recalled or banned for being dangerous to children, some of them toys that I had as a child and lost track of.

Place settings from the Titanic, perhaps? 

I wrote: “If it is possible to fire the gun without having the trigger fully pulled to a firing position, then the underlying design is fundamentally defective”

So there cannot be a fundamental design flaw? Good to know that all products are perfect in every way. Like that rifle that Remington made that fired when being unloaded. That was intentional, then, right? Or the ones where dropping it on the hammer would fire the weapon? Also intentional?

Ahahahahaha. You hold down the trigger to fan the gun. That’s what I said. I did not say that pulling the trigger was the only step.

A gun should only fire when the trigger is pulled. Was that too tough to understand? 

Now awaiting the law that requires voters to sign their ballots and show them to the election police to be sure the votes are for the right people.

James Corden does seem to me to be to show business what glitter is to crafting. A little glitter is fine but then you realize it’s gotten everywhere and it seems like it will never go away. 

I’d only disagree on the “defective” mention in this - it is possible to make a reliable mechanism so that the hammer can only return forward if it has been fully pulled back first and the trigger is pulled. After all, they made the mechanism to reliably advance the cylinder to the next chamber position as part of…
