So you are willing to risk the generic not being good enough when the difference is $300 vs the life of your child?
Yes. I wrote so above did I not?
what if I told you that 1 time in 10,000 the brand name will make the difference over the generic
I would nod indulgently and wait for you to go away because you clearly know fuckall about standards and testing and have fallen victim to advertising.
If you still say no we will have established a monetary value for the life of your child
Utter bullshit and emotive to boot. What a pathetic little weasel trick to roll out in a situation where lowering yourself to that level gains you nothing of consequence. Works or does not work is what matters not emotive shit, that's the sort of bullshit the naturopath scam artists rely on to get people to try their quack cures. The scam artists say something like "sure, the doctors don't like it but how much is the life of your child worth - you owe it to your child to feed them our grass clippings at a thousand dollars an ounce."
Not everyone thinks that way. The generic has to be good enough to qualify so is going to be equivalent in every way that matters even if the packaging isn't as pretty. Maybe you've just overdosed on the "only the best" shit from having Trump in your face all year.
At the same time, for all it's flaws in the patent system, in the grand scheme of things... the patent lasts like 5 or 10 or 20 years (I don't know). My point is it's not that long.
Not that long? Apparently the epipen was invented in the mid 1970s. Most of you here were not even born at that time.
That is a very good example of your annoying habit of tying completely unrelated, or even opposed, arguments to an issue in the hope of making others look like they are opposed to those unrelated issues instead of the one at hand. FFS - it's things like this current action that are keeping you free.
Using the arguments of the left to push a right wing agenda and hoping that emotion carries the day is more than just a little annoying.
I'm starting to think you are making the Rand mistake where she saw little bits of Soviet Russia everywhere and even called Twentieth Century Fox Studios communist. I think you'll find that book I linked to as educational and funny as I did.
From a purely practical perspective it makes sense since the NSA didn't have their shit together enough to even see the Arab Spring coming why not share their stuff with people able to make sense of the information? Personally I think they should be disbanded and replaced with real military instead of the current kids that never grew up playing at being James Bond. Real military folks have rules of engagement instead of the totally amoral spook shit we've seen a lot of lately.
Instead of attempting to convince me of something I've been hard coded to reject for more than forty years perhaps you'd be better off reading this book about internet discussions etc: https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/general-books/humour-gift/A-Short-History-of-Stupid-Helen-Razer-and-Bernard-Keane-9781760110543
It's very funny in places and goes over some ground we have attempted to cover in a far better reasoned and better written way than I could ever manage.
Terms of federal contracts are a take-it-or-leave-it proposition
Not so, and even if it was Google can certainly get work elsewhere.
just like the segregation laws
Obviously nothing alike. Why are you pretending to be far more stupid than you can possibly be? A brain damaged ex-DJ can get away with that shit on TV because he also makes funny noises, but you have not destroyed your head with cocaine and are not working here as an entertainer so you do not get that excuse.
FFS - Rosa Parks did not get to negotiate a contract where one of the terms was sitting at the back of the bus. Please act like a human being and not like an eliza bot.
Well over a decade ago RSA was working with a cardiac device manufacturer to prevent the device being vunerable to hackers. Apparently the device had a Z80 variant in it so the RSA guys had to get hold of some old books to work out how to code for it.
Of course there are always cowboys taking shortcuts so that's probably why the FDA is warning some manufacturers that they should not be taking a stupid shortcut.
You are really going very wide and waaaaay oftopic to justify selfishness. No problem - America is going to be Great again with showers of gold. You'll get to see first hand what dishonesty and selfishness does on the scale of a government.
One fairly harmless but amusing classic was putting a desktop screenshot of a Mac on a PC and vice versa - fullscreen so it looked like it was the desktop. It used to be easy when everybody was back on 1024x768.
I'm mildly curious as to the nature of the law that allows the company to effectively act as law enforcement
That is weird in itself but the bad outcome is kind of obvious. It's a company acting like a government but in a half-assed way so of course they are fucking up. They are attempting law enforcement without the "wasteful" extras and finding some reasons why the "waste" was there.
Claiming it can replace steel means it has not only better tensile strength, but also compressive strength, low brittleness, and similar ductility and hardness.
Good point but you are overestimating the journalists who will just pick one of those numbers and also often get things mixed up with strength to weight ration (eg. the ridiculous nylon is stronger than steel statements are due to a strength to weight comparison instead of just strength). Also there are a lot of different types of steel with a very wide range of properties.
If you need to get an artillery round removed after you have been shot with it then you are a superhero and will probably just get new biodegradable powers or something:)
The charge in a mortar, artillery shell or grenade (the stuff that is being suggested to be replaced here) is not getting to several hundred degrees in the barrel or it would go off.
It's going to be closer to brass and lead
Not a lot of that stuff in a mortar shell, artillery shell or grenade (and this isn't about the cartridges, those are easy to collect).
drive a big tank dragging a magnet and pick up all sorts of things
Artillery tends to go a long way and new gunners apparently tend to have less than pinpoint accuracy. That stuff is going to be spread out over miles by both design and less than perfect aim.
I'm not smearing any of the two, as you would know if you had read and comprehended what I wrote before posting. IBM had outsourced to China and nobody told the DSD. The DSD saw traffic bound for China. The ABS people panicked and the Minister said something stupid to the press.

I think they are getting at you not being aware of places where they fire people just for being sick.

It may be pure fantasy, but if it is it's really funny pure fantasy because Trump talks as if he would do that sort of thing.
It's at least less dark than all the rumors about cocaine catered kiddie fucking parties.

It's going to be uuuuge and he's going to cover us with showers of gold.
Yes they did, the article was about it.
Not so, and even if it was Google can certainly get work elsewhere.
Obviously nothing alike. Why are you pretending to be far more stupid than you can possibly be?

So, just like every internet accessible medical device ever.
Your link about internet accessible devices does not appear to be accessible from the internet. I'm getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Make America great again with showers of gold!

You'll get to see first hand what dishonesty and selfishness does on the scale of a government.
I worked in a place where managers dictate policy and sometimes get to ignore those policies.
I think it's called nearly every workplace everywhere.
Get over the trivia you'll see some real scandals soon based on some of the appointments.

I'm advocating that people stick to their word and you are not.
That's all it comes down to.
I'll meet you "banality of evil" with your undermining of the very core of civilization.
Good point but you are overestimating the journalists who will just pick one of those numbers and also often get things mixed up with strength to weight ration (eg. the ridiculous nylon is stronger than steel statements are due to a strength to weight comparison instead of just strength).
Also there are a lot of different types of steel with a very wide range of properties.
Don't project. That is very clearly your problem here where you are advocating harm to others.

It kind of wasn't since these are training rounds.
This is more a Groundskeeper Willie option with less shite to clean up at the range when things get repurposed than a flower and bead thing.
Sounds insane - just as well it's fake grenades, fake mortar rounds and fake artillery shells instead.
You have a few good points but they really don't have anything to do with training rounds.
The key words above that you missed are "training rounds". Without those words it does sound insane, but with them - oh just read the summary.
I'm not smearing any of the two, as you would know if you had read and comprehended what I wrote before posting.
