don’t laugh. once the national internet sales tax passes,
then come the garage sale tax police.
I remember the rattling, hissing, clattering noise my Mom’s PC made when she was cooking in it - the little steel weight dancing around on the steam vent spigot on the lid.
We haven’t used one in over 40 years.
If a grain of rice or something got stuck in the spigot and the lead safety plug didn’t let go in time (which would scare the hades out of us and shoot a hole in the kitchen ceiling when it did) those things could blow your kitchen - and anyone hanging around the stove - up pretty good.
Scary thing is, many common items can be used as containments for IEDs. Stuff that could be left in plain sight and no one would give a second thought to. Most of it commonly available, or even scroungable from a dump or junk yard.
Evil people will always find something to hurt others with - prisons being an ideal example of the most restrictive, controlled environments where lethal weapons and drugs commonly show up.
Yes. My philosophy on this is that most things have a duality to their nature.
An axe can be used to chop firewood to keep a family alive in freezing weather, or it can be used to murder someone.
A hammer can build a beautiful table, but can also destroy someone’s skull.
As such, we should spend more effort focusing on the hand that wields the axe or the hammer, and less on the axe or the hammer itself.
Common sense to you and I, but there exists a large body of people who don’t see it this way. In their view “If that person did not have the axe in his hand, he wouldn’t have committed murder.”
Some congressman has already called for sales of BBs and ball bearings to be mandatorily reported to Homeland Security.
Humor is PCI and Republicans are just as sensitive to PC concerns as are Democrats.
Is that the AK-47 pressure cooker or the Glock pressure cooker?
“The APC-1 Cooker, Pressure, Assault, 230mm, is a non-belt-fed, air-or-water cooled, gas-operated, fully automatic assault pressure cooker that operates from the closed lid configuration.
“DO NOT remove their weighted thingy on the top in order to look down the tube when the APC-1 is in operation.
“DO NOT attempt to remove the lid on the APC-1 while it is in operation.
“DO NOT add ball bearings and/or high explosives to the APC-1, as this will void its warranty.
No doubt. I stopped my KNS subscription a few years ago and I told them I would never subscribe again as long as Jack McElroy was the editor. I think the only thing he hates as much as Stacey Campfield is the 2nd amendment.
Cojones.
I post in there. Everytime they post about a Republican I put in a sarcastic remark like “but what about their dog”. They went after another GOP lawmaker too and ran her off Hurley I think was her name much the same way they are doing Campfield. They ran a huge story about her taking a dog into a county court house as if it were crimes against the state. McElroy is a Denver area Liberal.
They have some true nut-jobs that post on knoxnews. I realize, ‘Oh, crap. These might be my neigbors.’ I doubt they are close neighbors, because apparently they don’t have jobs, but I still could pass them on the road. That is scary enough.
You putting the badmouth on Mega Libs Cejensen, father, MaryQueen, godlesscommie, and non formating The7thSon2010? LOL? Just don’t pick on tnvarmit I hear he’s a devout RWNJ LOL. I think some are likely faculity at UT in the Liberal Arts college.
