I expect a botanist would say that peanuts aren't nuts, and Brazil nuts are seeds. I suspect that you’d be correct. I also suspect that it would make zero difference. Why are you one of the usual suspects ? |

Well thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to use that method now you've told me about it.... Thinking of warnings, I've had a lawn mower with a warning sticker saying don't put your hands and feet under the deck while it's running. Maybe somebody thinks it'll just clean your finger and toe nails. https://www.raleighortho.com/blog/ur...ower-injuries/ Chuckie Schumer's 'retarded children' grow up to mow lawns and vote Democratic. |

(The same packets had a ‘Cholesterol-free’ label on them. Cholesterol is an animal fat...) Sometimes I've wondered how many people buy peanuts, with the expectation there will be no nuts. https://allergyfyi.org/peanut-and-tree-nut-allergies/ A person could have a tree nut allergy and not a peanut allergy. I recently read where the frequency of peanut allergies is increasing. The article concluded that mothers don't let kids eat peanuts for fear they might be allergic which means the kid don't have an early exposure and become desensitized. Other sites blame it on the glyphosates and other herbicides/pesticides used in modern peanut farming. It's sad to think of a generation that can be killed by a pb&j sandwich. |

I expect a botanist would say that peanuts aren't nuts, and Brazil nuts are seeds. As are cashews with the added bonus of being packaged in a shell containing anacardic acid. That's a form of urushiol, the magic ingredient of poison ivy. I assume in the early history of South America tribal members that could shell cashews without coming down with contact dermatitis were very popular. |

It is hard to find anything in the consumer marketplace that doesn't have some kind of warning. That’s bull**** with all of gasoline, diesel, tap water, rivers, the ocean, roads etc etc etc. You have never seen a US gas pump then I guess. Guess again. This is the typical label along with a big "No Smoking" sign. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/3186/3369/products/U-MD-598-2_335x500_1a11f31f-c076-4331-be60-7f2bd7ecedb7_475x500.jpg?v=1565120849 That’s not typical. Yes it is. You are just ignorant of things you speak of In a lot of places there is a warning stuffed in your water bill warning about things in the water. But none on the taps. Kids never see the water bill. And none in my water bill. You live in another country. Don't talk about **** you don't know. Roads are full of warning signs. But none that say you might get run over or be involved in an accident. So are rivers and ponds They don’t all have signs saying you might drown. Try again. They have signs warning of swift currents, pollution and alligators. |

wrote: In article , says... Stupid people have done enough dumb stuff to get the government to make lawn mowers almost unusable. If you try to back up my Troy Bilt rider with the blades going the motor stops. That is just one of the nagging things they have done. Most home riding mowers have been that way for many years. The JD I bought about 15 years ago had it with a push button to bypass that. I bypassed that switch the next mower I bought had a position on the start/stop key that would bypass that, and a JD I just bought had the push button again. Bypassed that one too. I unplugged the reverse position switch. You can't cut my yard without backing up. Too many dead end places. |
