Some people are really just plain stupid
 
I am Woodcraft yesterday and I am looking at the Saw Stop saws. No money to
buy one, but just thinking when I upgrade maybe I will go that route. On
the saw there is a video playing that is demonstrating the how the saw
works.

Some other customer stands next to me and says: "What they don't tell you is
that after the saw does its thing in an emergency you need to buy new parts
from them to make the saw work again."

I say: "But you still have your fingers"

He then says: "But your saw won't work again until you buy the parts - from
them!"

I almost replied again with "You still have your fingers" but I figured it
was pointless. Apparently this guy has figured out that the corporate plan
is to save your fingers but stick it to you in the wallet afterwards.

He was probably trying to offset the cost of a wiener vs the cost of
the replacement part.

I have personally never been at risk of having my wiener injured by
the table saw but I think I would be willing to a pay a little more
for the saw if it would help avoid that. I guess maybe I should be
careful, the darng thing is so long it could get all tangled up and at
risk of injury during a ripping op if I wasn't careful.

Believe it or not, most of the people she deals with are above the average
IQ. Here's why.

1. Almost all women have average IQs (90-110), yielding an average of 100.
Theirs is not a bell curve so much as a horizontal line.
2. Men are pretty evenly distributed between 50 and 150, again yielding an
average of 100. Men's intelligence curve is also pretty much a straight line
but instead of horizontal, it's diagonal. Now very many of men below, say,
80 are locked up somewhere, so the one's she runs into are in the range of
80-150, or an average of 120 or so, significantly above average.

An interesting consequence of the above is that your average man (on the
street) is smarter than your average woman.

OK - kinda old but seems appropriate:

A self-made Texas oilman/rancher billionaire flew his private jet to
visit his son at Harvard. He was supposed to meet him at the campus
law library. Walking across the campus in blue jeans and boots, he
stopped a young preppy law student to ask for directions.

"Son, can you tell me where the law library is at?"

The young student put on a look of disgust and replied "Sir this is
Harvard. At Harvard we do not end our sentences with a preposition."

The older gentleman shrugged and said "You are absolutely right. Can
you tell me where the law library is at.....ASSHOLE!"

Actually, that is not really true:
http://wcco.com/realitycheck/al.franken.taxes.2.712757.html
http://newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/al-franken-taxes/2009/02/06/id/340085
It is really unknown whether he paid the proper amount in his own state
because he hasn't released his tax returns. That also doesn't explain the
fact that, even when working in New York, and claiming to live there, he
failed to pay a $25,000 fine for failing to carry workers' compensation for
his employees. Now, one would think that a champion of the little guy and
the middle class would have been scrupulously careful to make sure he was
abiding by workers' compensation requirements, wouldn't you?


Bachmann tell the poor to

Um, if you are referring to legally eligible farm subsidies, there is a
vast difference between something legally granted and failing to pay legally
required taxes or carry legally required workers comp insurance.


it's a republican Hippocratic oath thing.Forget the coolaid chew

Not nearly so much as the leftwing that whines and moans about the "rich"
not paying their fair share when a) they themselves are wealthy, and b)
there is nothing preventing them from paying more than they owe.

Reduction of ice at the North Pole is good.

It may open up a year-round Northwest Passage. This, in turn, will
dramatically cut shipping costs between the Orient and Europe, facilitating

You've also got to get a new blade, too. I'm curious if the SawStop
technology would be effective enough if it would fire and just drop the
blade totally in to the saw rather than jamming it in to a piece of
metal. I realize there's no possibility of a second stage, where if
contact is still being made it could then stop the blade.

I'd rather have my fingers.

Puckdropper


Think about that for a sec, if the blade simply fell below the surface and
continued to spin,,,, do you think a blade that is spinning against a finger
and moving down 1-3 inches would cut you? I think it would be imperative
that the blade stop spinning and perhaps not drop below the surface as an
alternative.

Obviousely you have not been using a saw long enough to know that that is a
