LOL! You are correct! I just bought a 900W microwave from Walmart [made in China] for around $46. I have not had to clean the buttons yet, because ...yes, the plastic coating has deteriorated and looks like I ran a soldering iron over them.At first, I thought this was a protective plastic sheet that I had neglected to remove and was supposed to be removed. Guess not.

The worst part of rading that message is that as you read it, it actually starts to become looking 'normal' and speed of reading picks up!
Communication only needs to be unique. Conculsion is reinforced by the experiences of meeting a wheelchair stricken man when we moved into our flat. MS? or something as debilitating. He greeted my "Good morning" to him with an unintelligible response of high pitched vowels only. His attending care provider 'interpreted' what he said. Within a year of continually seeing this gentleman in the lift and conversing briefly; I could actually hold a conversation discussing weather, events, etc. without the need of interpretation from his attending care provider. Learned a lot from thse interactions.
Nah, it's not an issue of PC. Regard for the Poles has climbed steadily with the descent of Western Europe, particularly France and the UK, into thirdworldism.
Hmm, White Trash Month and Black History Month all at once? Oh, the irony!
How can they get on their feet when their feet are always in the air?
The nastiest TV service call ever? A tube type consolethat the slobs had tossed used diapers behind, until it blocked all of the vents and it died. It had to be pried out of that mess, then the manufacturer of the set had to explain to the morons that it was not covered by the warranty.
I see that in homes, as well. People used to bitch about Commodore
64 computer power supplies failing, then you find them under piles of newspaper and other junk, instead of out where they can radiate exces heat. There was a reason for the fins molded into the case.Copy & enlarge the section of the NEC about clear space around breaker boxes. It MIGHT help. A little. Oh, well. :(
We had an 'Afro Engineer' at the AFRTS TV station in Alaska. Anything he touched turned to crap, and the only thing he was good at was drinking his month's pay in under a week.
I've improvised & made parts that weren't available. That includes a TV tuner for a piece of broadcast equipment. The only tools I had were a few hand tools and a soldering iron.
It really hit the fan when someone told one of the Army cooks that they were renaming the mess hall to 'Ptomaine Hall'. ;-)
What did you expect for $46? Membrane switches won't take abuse, and that includes constantly poking them with sharp fingernails or a utensil.
This is your brain.
This is your brain on crap.
The difference being that the Germans were so short of resources that they designed stuff that way. It wasn't so much "field engineering".
WT had it first going all the way back to their Cavebilly ancestors. ^_^

There are a few. Brian May is an astrophysicist.
No, you really don't "have to" but you like whining too much to turn it off.
Brian May is an extraordinary example -- altho, technically speaking, he didn't get his PhD until 2007 -- well after Queen et al. Still, very unique.... and thus, one out of.... how many musicians??? So once again, you miss the point.
Oh, believe me, I turn it off. But whining is so much fun.
Speaking of whining, and pining, you are pining away for Jim Morrison, eh? Yeah, I understand.....
Yet still, you READ it!! And with very little comprehension, very little to contribute. Altho, Brian May was a good one. Mebbe you can fellate him, since Jim is proly perty corroded by now....

2013 04:33:14 -0600 typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:Why not? Stay that is. The traditional way "off the dole" has been to get married. But what guy in that socio-economic demographic can compete with Uncle Sam when it comes to being a good provider? Had a friend who was on the Dole, because the alternative was losing custody of her child. (She had a job, but the only shift she could get was graveyard. Tips are good, but the schedule sucks.)
Years ago I read an essay in which the author recalled how before the expansion of the Great Society, there were parts of the country where it was kind of accepted that sometimes boys and girls would be boys and girls - and she'd get in the family way before she was married. Sigh. "It happens." The traditional pattern was then that Gramma and Grandpa would raise the kid, until one of two things happened: the child reached age 5, or she got preggers again. At which point the entire community would start asking "So when are you going to get married and settle down?" Of both her, and the boy. And he'd better man up and do the right thing, which he already knew. But, along comes the Democrats and their Great Society, and she can get far more from Uncle Sam than the father could ever provide. And if Democrats ever wonder why there has been an increase of out of wedlock births, they are just part of the reason.

Jerry had to improvise even when they were winning the war. They had this problem that the demand for material (trucks, tanks, guns, etc) meant they couldn't take a captured factory off-line to retool to a standard "type". Plus they had a lot of captured items (tanks, transports, etc) that they pressed into service because it worked. Imagine having to keep parts on hand for trucks made in Germany, France, Czechoslovakia, Russia and England/The US?
It is a wonder they lasted as long as they did.

Marc Knopfler (Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing) is another inneresting case. No PhD in physics, but he got a BS in englich, and was a working stiff for some time before getting seriously involved in music. VERY informal training, yet he is ranked in the various Great Guitarists lists, and Sultans of Swing is in, iirc, the top 100 (or so) of the RS's top
500 hits of all time. A distinctly unique song, lyric, very rare lyric form, consisting of a bit of a lengthy, *unrepeated* verse.And I am sure there are "many others", but still statistically dwarfed by the successful ilitirits in pop, jazz, and esp. rock'n'roll.
Actors/Actresses seem to be a different story. Altho not rife with PhDs, there seems to be more countable examples of academic achievement there. Judd Hirsch (Taxi) has a BSME, Dolph Lundgren a MS in Chem. E (MIT, iirc), James Wood is 1 course short of a BS/Math (MIT), quite a few non-technical degrees running around out there.
In sports: George (The Animal) Steele (prof. wrestler) sposedly had a PhD in Englich Lit (and would tear the padding off the turnbuckles apart with his teeth), Dick Barnett (Knicks) a PhD in psychology, Bill Bradley (Knicks) Rhodes Scholar (with Clinton), and the Klitchko Bros (recent or current Russian boxing champs) have PhD's in exercise physiology.
The reason for the dearth of academic accomplishment in musicians is, as far as moi can surmise is, is that music requires a highly developed part of the brain, which often exists "at the expense" of other parts of the brain. In addition, it often requires total creative immersion, quite at odds with the (often bullshit) academic ""experience"". WHich is not at all to say that musicians are less academically capable -- proly quite the opposite, given the correlation with music, math and physics -- but that the artistic drive is likely exclusionary.
Acting, otoh, is essentially a higher order emotional aberration, a kind of low-level functional sociopathy, high-level narcissism, which happens to benefit from a mainstream socialization process (read: college and college partying), before it veers off into a well-paid insanity (well, well-paid for some).
And Le Pubic fuels this like an barely-controlled nuclear reaction. This is, imo, part and parcel of our economic demise. If you are so confused as to worship an utterly useless celebrity, HTF can you poss. vote wisely, or manage yer money??

I was "night security" at a cat house in Ely Nevada in the early 1970s several nights a week..and it was clean, as were the girls..most of whom came to work during school breaks. A noted lawyer and a rather famous pediatrician were house girls who came to earn their tuition money and enjoy the break from school
