Makes sense to me, but look around you...yanking off a person's hands doesn't keep that person from breeding, nor does stupidity, unfortunately.

And the jury AGREED with you. She DIDN'T get all she asked for in ACTUAL damages...because they felt she contributed to the accident...just as you say.
The bulk her initial award was for PUNITIVE damages. And the jury simply took into account the many other accidents of this nature that happened with Mickey D hot coffee.
Have a nice week...

Define 'off'. lol To the extent that I pushed the rocker switch...and the tool didn't get any electricity for several minutes...it was off.
There's no doubt in my mind that the switch was teetering...and that it had one of two directions to go in...and that it finally decided to go to the on position again.
In my mind, this is poor design. Can you do this with your electrical box breaker?...or table saw switch? I can't with mine.
Most? Maybe...maybe not. But the ones I've seen where the handle doesn't fully go to the off position, the switch will never turn back ON! It may hang there...not full down...like in the case of a common light switch, for instance. But I've never seen one go back on.
After going to a link I was given here, I see that this manufacturer has recalled many sanders because of this very same problem.
Actually, you can't tell at all...by looking at the switch. You can't see the switch.
Correct. Off...COMPLETELY off to me...has always been when you operate the switch and the tool stops running.
From what I read, there have been several major fires caused by this problem...but no deaths.
Have a nice week...

They smoke because its THERE!
MY question...why is tobacco still THERE?!
We've outlawed less dangerous drugs. Hell...even marijuana isn't as bad for you as cigarette smoke.
Why don't we just outlaw it? (rhetorical...I DO know the answer! lol)

His PARENTS shouldn't have and neither should he.
Is there any reason for the twenty CRs after your sig, Charlie?

Hmm. Google kicks ass.
See
"McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste. "
They had 700 claims that the coffee was too hot over 10 years the website says. They serve over 1M meals per day. If 10% order coffee, then that is
36.5M orders of coffee they served over 10 years. 700 complained, which is about 0.01% complaint rate. That's insignificant.Website sez it did note the coffee was hot.
And certainly at 155 degrees some would complain it was too cold. Your point?
Sorry about your father, but whether it said anything on the pack or not, he knew smoking was bad. I had my first cigarette (a pack shared with a friend, the pack was left over from filling a carrying case for a brother in law present about 1948. Neither of my parents smoked and I didn't try smoking again until 1956. I knew it was stupid, I knew it wasn't healthy, I knew it could lead to disease, but I kept smoking until 1980. Any health problems that result from my smoking are entirely mine, they have nothing to do with any manufacturer.
I'll say it again, you can't breathe in smoke and not know that it isn't bad for. People may not know how bad, depending on how far back you go, but they knew it was bad and therefore could make a rational decision. Hell, people knew it was bad for when it was first introduced into England. Not only bad, but really disgusting. Why it became fashionable, I don't know, but people made the decision to cough, choke, smell awful, etc., just for the sake of appearance. Their choice.
Gasoline is there, but most of us aren't stupid enough to huff it. There is no reason that it shouldn't be there. It is called freedom. I agree that the government shouldn't support tobacco agriculture, there is no reason to outlaw it. And you are wrong, marijuana smoke is much worse for you than regular tobacco smoke, not counting the psychodellic part.
Hey, why don't we outlaw fat?
That and casinos.

I believe that there was a song in the 50's called something like "smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette". It included the line "...smoke 'em boy 'til you smoke yourself to death." Clearly we didn't need the Surgeon General to tell us that it was bad for us.
Dave Hall Smoked for a little more than 30 years before stopping...and knew all along that I was being stupid. Stopping is not nearly as hard as deciding to stop.
Somewhere around the WWII era, weren't they referred to as "coffin nails"?
You lie. You *didn't* post any actual references regarding antiques. You the closest you came was when you claimed it was "in the U.S. customs laws".
"Title 39 United States Code" contains _all_ the customs *laws*. The word 'antique' does *NOT* appear in it anywhere. verifiable at
In the Code of Federal Regulations, implementing those laws, there are thirteen occurrences of antique/antiques/antiquity: THREE are table-of-contents items, NINE are "antiques of an age exceeding 100 years" or "antiques of an age specified in 9707.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States", or "antiques as described in 10.53" (and section 10.53 uses the 'antiques of an age specified in 9707.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule) The last entry, in it's entirety: "antiques imported in good faith, but rejected as unauthentic". Verifiable at
The "Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States", contains precisely *one* reference, in section 9707.00.00, which specified:
"Antiques of an age exceeding 100 years"
as exempt from duty.
Oh yeah, I've got a 1939 Croseley table-top radio that U.S. CUSTOMS has officially recognized as an antique
Oh believe me if the insurer can find away out of paying then it most definitely would of been your fault
just my cynical tuppence worth
1947
It ain't cuz I don't smoke 'em myself and i don't reckon that it'll hinder your health I smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
Same here, 30 years, quit cold turkey one night and never had another. Hell of it is, If I knew didn't have much time left, I'd probably start again, it was that enjoyable.
We're GOING to...hang in there! lol

The things we might do...I have to agree. Tell me I've 2-3 months to go, and the second thing I'd buy would be a couple of cartons of Luckies. The first would be a couple quarts of Wild Turkey 101.
But in the hope that there more than 3-4 months left, I neither drink nor smoke, and haven't for many years.

Ahhh yes, LSMFT. My first puff was a Picayune, after that the original Luckies were mild. JD Black Label ... or a Margarita machine for the kitchen.
Hit Parade!
