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.”
