    Keep paying attention. 'Gummint bad' is the right attitude. You'll learn so long as you don't pinch your eyes closed kid.

    You don't label the thing. You label the place that does (or might) contain a carcinogen.

    Prop 65 is a stupid law. But it's easily routed around. Just put warning signs everywhere (and shoot all the lawyers).

    But prop 215 has started a nationwide change for the better. It would have happened anyhow, just demographics, but 215 moved it forward, fast.

    America and specifically California has the WORST lawyer to human ratio on the planet.

    At least America will let you starve like an adult (at least if your a white male), Europe is much more infantilizing.

  5. You mean like Obama changed the rules mid-game?

    If one was legal and OK, so is the other.

    Those are places run by scrappers (tweakers), they take the metal to the actual recycling places.

    After burning off the non-metal parts, then separating the metals. Dirty as fuck, but 'poors' so they get away with it.

    Nobody really cares if they poison their kids and neighbors, the neighbors should.

    Your going to have to separate the metals. Not worth the effort. Just put the junk on the curb and let the tweakers fight over it.

  9. If you overcook your steak, you should let it rest for about half the cook time. If you really ruin it, you need to wrap the shoe leather in foil, so it doesn't become full tilt jerky.

    If you cook your steak right, you can't get it to the table is less than half the cook time. It should be at the body temperature of a living cow in the center. The trick is to get a thick enough steak so it's perfect when it's seared and releases from the grill, about 2 inches.

  10. 'ice cold steak' is a mistake.

  11. Boiled meat...Spit.

    Low and slow is for tough cuts, not steak. Even there, leave the British methods in Britain. Smoke that brisket, don't boil it...what are you, Irish?

    Kids need to learn arithmetic to form the mental pathways that will later be used for real math.

    e.g. If a kid can't add fractions, (s)he will be _lost_ when it comes time to add two algebraic formulas. Then the kid is _doomed_ to live an innumerate life. College major choices will be limited to 'basket weaving' type subjects.

    Steak is easy, because you just have to shine a flashlight on both sides and it's cooked.

  15. The best was the Obama inauguration commemorative coins. Four for $30.

    It is an immoral act to let a sucker keep his money.

    For your $200 membership fee you will receive a high leverage earth moving device and the location of the nearest digercise exercise center (Located conveniently in the front parking lot of your nearby Home Depot or Lowes). Go there and wait, someone will pull up in a truck and offer you 'trafalga', which is digercise lingo for exercise. At the end of the day, you will receive cash...half of which is your to keep, send the other half to digercise.

    When signing up, be sure to ask about upgraded earth moving devices.

    Good news. Your local coffee shop already displayed the sign. Everyplace does. Everybody ignores them.

    IIRC decaf got the coffee shops, early in the process. But by now, it's just: Put up the sign as a routine part of setting up any place of business.

    What everybody (except maybe a few mom and pops) have been doing for a good decade now.

    Why wouldn't you?

    I think the forest service should put the signs on the national forests. At least on every logging road...That will be a good use of money.

    Also the state and national parks...just full of known carcinogens. Every fire pit, no matter how temporary, needs a warning. Best just put one on every rock.

    Do you live in CA?

    I doubt it. The signs are EVERYWHERE. Post office, restaurants, bars, stores, businesses, offices, fire stations, city halls etc etc etc. Have been for years. I suppose it's possible you live in CA and have just been ignoring the signs for so long you no longer 'see them'.

    Signs are cheap. How sure are you that you don't have something containing something on the ever growing list? Sure enough to bet your business against a $2 sign? That's one shitty pot ratio.

    Every place of business already just posts a Prop 65 warning. As a shyster repellant.

    They routinely stick them on used car windows.

    Just sticking them everywhere is cheap, complies with law. Are you sure you don't have a chem on the list, somewhere? How sure are you? Sign is $2, lawyer condom.

  24. The Ds can run Bernie next round. He'll be ancient, but so will Trump, if he runs.

    I mean, who do they got? Biden? The one from 'The Onion' sounds cool. I'd vote for that dude!

    I'm still hoping Trump triggers a both D and R, mutual dirt dump.

    In explicit words: I want the dirt that made the Ds back off Cheney AND the dirt the made the Rs back off Clinton. Plus the 100 years of dirt, these sibling political parties have on each other.

    You were once a teenager and had teenage sibs? Remember MAD? Nobody was snitching. That's the position of the DNC/RNC, above all else, they value stability. Don't think for a second that the RNC is on 'Trumps side' or vice versa. If the Ds had brains (and weren't scared shitless) they would exploit that. Set them to war with each other, like Sunnis and Shia. But Ds...all too busy calculating angles for themselves personally. The 'Hillary vacuum' being over.
