The gooberment is forcing us to buy this crap. Just like this god damn ethanol gas ****. It corroded the carb on my chainsaw and cost me 50 bucks for a new one. The repair shop tells me not to trust gasahol that is over 45 days old so now i am forced to drive down the street and dump my stale gas in the ditch every 45 days or so.

That was probably the most powerful explosive the average person could get, usually for free in the olden days. Bars and restaurants used to have big bowls of matches right by the door. It was labor intensive to scrape all of that stuff off the stick but what else did kids have to do in those days? Match heads! That pops a memory bubble. Had a 2 ft pc of brass pipe. End cut off with a tubing cutter so it was flared in on one end. Popped the gizmo out of the end of CO2 cartridges. PACKED in match heads cut from matchbooks. Wire cutters were the bad- asses tool for this exercise. Towards it being filled, put in a firecracker wick. Packed a few more heads in. Drop CO2 cartridge in pipe wick end first. Stops nicely with wick exposed out back end because it's flared inwards. Hold pipe in hands, aim and light wick (smart ehhh]. Thing would launch with a boom& flash. Cool at night. Used to aim it across the river at the marina and listen for the plunk when cartridge hit. Hear the people on the boats sitting around getting drunk yelling "Hey you ****in' kids!" Laugh asses off...so they could hear. This was living... I had a 1" steel pipe about 8" long. The one end was welded shut and then had a little hole drilled in it. Insert fuse into hole then pack a couple inches of match heads, a little wadding, then valve lifters from the junk yard. Shot a lifter through a 60's vintage car door no problem. Shot all kinds of stuff until I realized how dangerous it would be it the pipe blew up, then I held it in place with a big rock and stood back instead of holding it still with my foot. Glad you weren't on the other side of the river. |

The cleanup instructions are simple: http://www.epa.gov/cfl/cflcleanup.html The same rules probably applied to those fluorescent tubes we've bee n using for decades -- but maybe nobody was paying attention. Perce Gotta love the last question/answer! What if I can't follow all the recommended steps? or I cleaned up a C FL but didn't do it properly? Don't be alarmed; these steps are only precautions that reflect best practices for cleaning up a broken CFL. Keep in mind that CFLs contai n a very small amount of mercury -- less than 1/100th of the amount in a mercury thermometer. It sounds as if it's saying, "Don't sweat it, this is all just bullsh it anyway". Of course it's all bull****. Someone in the EPA once told me that a discarded mercury thermometer contained more mercury than a days output of a coal fired plant. But, this is what happens when you let government go berserk and control everything. Individual homeowners can slip under the radar but industry pays dearly. That's one big reason corporations are moving their plants to China.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Plenty in the USA too. Thanks to half wits like yourself. http://www.newscientist.com/article/...lution-hotspot ... No sense arguing with a know chemical genius. My apologies, Harry ;)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Any body can appear tobe a genius compared with some of the morons that appear here. Must be something in the water they drink. Probably mercury. Or lead. You gotta remember Harry. Decades ago many of us had jars of mercury we played with in our hands because it was so cool. We just had to touch the dry ice to see if it really burned. We stuck knifes in outlets. We melted lead sinkers rught under our noses, etc, etc Whe are a damaged people... :-(- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Ah, very sad. I remember getting up to those tricks myself.
