Sounds like my table saw. Only "guard" is the operator using common

playgrounds, horseshoe pits replaced with Corn hole crap and so on.

haha this is good

damn are they really replacing horseshoe pits

first thing i did when i got my skilsaw so many years ago was to jam
a sixteen penny nail to keep that guard out of the way

it is an interesting trajectory that humanity is on right now
with interesting used in the same way as that old saying
may you live in interesting times

should also mention stick shift cars
most kids at driving age will not and or cannot drive a stick


Millennials, raised in the home on digital games by hand wringing
mothers, are finding Pokemon too dangerous as the pantywaists are
forced to actually walk around loose, walking into cars and what-not.

society and culture now is very risk averse
constant fear drummed in all the time

They should not be allowed near power tools, particularly anything
sharp that is not 110% safe with every guard known to man, wearing
chain-link suits of armor, gas masks for dust, giant helmets with
bullet proof face masks and built in ear muffs, and the tools should
instantly slam to a stop if they even think about putting a pinky in
danger.

yes they will have to wear a brain machine interface and if they even
think of putting their hand near the cutter it shuts off the machine
and gives them a 50000 volt reminder and deducts 5 dollars from their
account and transfers it to the health and safety department to improve
the tv programming to remove thoughts of using the equipment at all
