i have an old CRT TV - and i get sick sitting in-front of it, that is if i'm watching any current media.. turn it off or watch a good old movie and the sickness goes away.
agreed - the school where my wife teaches - there is a single child with a severe peanut allergy, they sent a notice to all students requesting that they not bring anything to school containing peanuts or peanut by products.
this was a tone down because the child's parents wanted the school to ban it out right.
not sure about Satellite photos - but the U2 was the best last time i saw anything released -.. during the Cuban missile crisis they where able to read number markings on wires going into the consoles near the launch pad.
well lets look at the differences between what you pointed out.
Group A) Guns & Lasers Group B) Swords/Knives/Piping/chainsaws Group C) Propane takes/Gasoline/industrial chemicals Group D) Farm Equipment/Automobiles
Group A) Ranged weapons - a person can be shot/blinded/burned without even knowing the attacker or having a chance to, also the person can easily harm someone they did not intend to harm for a rather large range. Group B) Close range weapons - while an attacker could harm someone without them knowing it almost has to be intentional - sure there are accidents and most of that is a lack of respect of blood range on both the person with the weapon and the other party Group C) chemicals - most of these are regulated - if there is legit home use (aka propane tanks) then it is easy to come by - but a lot of industrial chemicals are restricted to trained personal with an established use. Group D) Large motorized equipment that requires training and usually some type of licence/cert to operate.
to come pare any of theses groups to each other you have to label them correctly - you have to weight the usage benefits with the potential dangers.
Again at no point am i advocating that you should not be allowed to own one of theses lasers, but just as you are required to have a licence to operate a motor vehicle outside your on property - i feel you should have at a requirement at bare minimum to be able to demonstrate the ability to safely carry and operate a ranged weapon out side your own property.
yea it was disappointing.. also i was hoping the person's body was the paddle.. so not just some flat thing to bounce off of up rather you could stick your arms up and it would bounce off the angle of your body
i agree that the 1k price tag puts this above the average Joe to be stupid with but there are a lot of lower priced lasers that can have the same blinding effect, and a lot of idiots have them, check YouTube.
you say you drill gun safety into your kids' heads.. good for you.. I'm glad you do.. but there is a guy right now buying a gun and not getting that - in fact not getting anything other than ammo to go with it..
I'm not saying you stop the guy buying the gun - but shouldn't he be required to show that he is able to exercise basic gun safety to buy one?
no i do not advocate a ban.. people need to clearly understand what they are using and the effects their actions take. i'm sick of people not being responsible.
So, a laser pointer is like a BB gun, and this is like a.308.
The fact that we let the average Joe with no training go wild with it is just irresponsible, and sadly it is more likely the people around this person who will pay for it.
Evidence doesn't point to people being that dumb. Vermont has essentially no gun laws, and there aren't accidental shootings in the news every day.
I'd be shocked if Wicked Lasers didn't include a 52-page warning manual with these units. I'll stop before I make a car analogy.
first comment i agree
if people in Vermont looked and treated their gun as a toy rather than a weapon i'm sure there would be more... also should point out that they have ~0.2 % of the US population, and are below average on population density for the US, and from what i can see by stats average to below average # of gun owners per population.
and if you think that all we need is documentation and disclaimers, then explain to me what went wrong with lawn darts.
Those who do can go fill in paperwork and registration forms - no different from guns (not that that is working out particularly well in a market that's flooded with the things).
i think the part that is different here is that the average Joe views a gun as a dangerous weapon - one that if i pull the trigger i have the chance to alter someones life and i'm responsible for it.
the average Joe views a laser pointer as a toy.
this product is anything but a toy - and anyone who teats it as such will pay the consequences (along with the people around them).
While i'm against laws preventing me from owning something like this (or a gun, which i don't currently), I'm all for mandatory safety training & certification. If there was a machine that had something like this on it in Industry - there would be safety training, and that is for people who deal with them on a daily basis (same as cops and guns). The fact that we let the average Joe with no training go wild with it is just irresponsible, and sadly it is more likely the people around this person who will pay for it.
people look at the public works of the great depression - we got something out of that money.. yes the government was paying for labor.. but that labor was going to work, and you only got it if you worked..
This handing out money and letting failed groups fail again is just stupid.
but if the repos are still good - then it should be easy to trace any changes/modifications to the other distribution channels - and update/inform the people who use them
i always loved that when our star dies - it will take 8min 30sec before we find out. also that given the nearest start is >4 years.. so right now there could be nothing out there, we just don't know it yet.
that should have been "can't", not "can" should have read it better in preview - my bad.
BB's price match is based on UPC - not only that but it also has to be available at that moment. Considering that a lot of their products they get with a custom UPC they are basically committing false advertising and saving them selves in the small print.

or you know.. you could always cross compile..
so we have the same condition.. i say we use it as a soap box to get current content creators banned from airing material that makes people sick..

A judge should also be able to rule that one is invalid.. if only the USPTO can make one invalid then you lose your check & balance.
I've never ever heard of people complaining about having ball lighting.
still you looking at/reading something the size of new print from 70,000 feet.

nicely done
it's off topic but yea there is currently a lot of loss

Another wish for mod points..

i wouldn't have waited to get fired - i would have found another job and quit
but if the repos are still good - then it should be easy to trace any changes/modifications to the other distribution channels - and update/inform the people who use them
the bottle neck is the long haul links.

and you can use their "price match"
you are thinking of i they are using i
I can see the effects of a reality distortion field causing abnormal cell mutations and growth..
