@tero Nanoplastics and microplastics in teabags? Great. Fucking lovely.
And it’s not like that information is required to be printed on the individual packets or the boxes / tins, either. So how are we supposed to know whether a teabag has plastic components? Even the ones that appear to be made from a paper product might be sealed with plastics.

#CrosstownDoughnuts.
Wiith multiple chronic illnesses & food intolerances, have to be careful what I eat. They've always been ok.
Noticed difference in taste, but was a seasonal flavour, so shrugged it off.
Massive reaction.
On investigation, we found Crosstown were bought out in June.
They've obviously changed the recipe to cheap out, & didn't bother notifying their customers.
Tired of businesses doing this.
It's not that difficult to let your customers know.

Oh holy shit. Ford redefined the "Heckschleuder"... By messing up electric wiring of a sensor. Congrats!

Used to have Autec Wheels on my Citroen Xantia. They were one of the nonfaulty parts of that car. Guess we all have a bad day sometimes.
Yeah polish fireworks... They have a legendary reputation in germany. Also this probably would have been labeled child safe indoor fireworks in the 1970s.

yeah nice chemicals in your glue. Back in the 70s stuff like this was normal.
My favorite, just do a search on old antifouling for boats.
Esoteric tooth powder what ever that is. Anyway it contains spoiled ingredients and therefore is pulled from the market.

CONSUMER ALERT: If you have any JoyJolt class coffee mugs, be warned that they may shatter, potentially causing burns and/or cuts. It's not like peeps regularly “register” their coffee mugs, so I’m not sure how the company is reaching out to customers, but do share this around to make sure you get your money back if you did buy them. #recall #consumersafety #coffee #mugs #injury #burns #danger https://boingboing.net/2024/06/20/dangerous-coffee-mugs-leave-consumers-burned-and-bloodied.html

All I can say is that if the Consumer Product Safety Commission goes along with this and the current high prices are maintained, people (specifically home woodwookers) will just improvise their own home-built table saws, either by modifying portable circular saws or by buiding table saws using standard electric motors salvaged from old appliances, furnaces, etc. I know this is possible because my dad built one using (I think) an old washing machine motor, and he used it to saw all the lumber he used to build his garage. Was it safe by today's standards? No way, but it did work and somehow he managed to not lose any fingers.
Home-built units will be even less safe that the currently available commercial models, but they will be affordable for people who are not in the construction trades, and they are really not that hard to build. Clearly nobody seems to have really considered the unintended consequences of this potential regulation.
Another alternative will be just using portable circular saws (with or without rip fences) which also aren't quite as safe but are very affordable, plus they tend to show up at yard sales. And I will be shocked if no videos appear showing circular saw to table saw conversions.
Don't get me wrong, the safe table saw is a great idea, and I would love to see this safety feature on every table saw if it is reasonably priced (adding not more than a few dollars to the cost above where current models are priced), but not if it means obscene profits for a single company that may be price gouging if the #CPSC allows it. Experienced builders are probably going to hate them anyway, because they may falsely trigger on lumber that is a little too "green" (ever seen how wet some pressure-treated lumber is right after you buy it?) and my understanding is that when the #safety mechanism is triggered it totally destroys the saw blade. Which is a small price to pay to save fingers, but if it turns out that it false triggers a lot then people will just find a way to disable the safety mechanism (to avoid having to continually buy and change out saw blades), defeating the whole purpose.
How much would you pay to make sure you never sawed off a finger?
