Ultimately isn’t consumers responsible (good or bad) for the products they buy? Why or why not?
Question by care4ub0y: Ultimately isn’t consumers responsible (good or bad) for the products they buy? Why or why not?
I read a lot about recalls and complaints about the products that are recalled. But even after all the recent recalls and publicity many consumers continue to buy, I guess because of the prices. But if you are going to buy cheaper, how can you complain when the quality is not as good as it was before so much manufacturing was outsourced and quality was much betterwith cheaper labor and way lower safeguards. What gets me… someone can complain but continues to buy the products. It seems to me if their pets or children die because of it, they are ultimately responsible. Many people won’t like to hear this (IT’S A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW!!! – I guess because passing the blame takes the burden of guilt away) but it is the truth, otherwise their loved one(s) wouldn’t have access to the products anyway! Is cheaper better when it risks the lives and health of those that are precious (pets and children)? I’ve heard that recalled items are showing up in thrift stores and on ebay.com!

Say I go out and buy a toy for my toddler. Am I supposed to have it tested for lead and all the other crap it would be made out of if it wasn’t regulated? IF we didn’t insist on regulation by the makers of these products, companies would take every dangerous and cheap shortcut they could to produce. That’s not the kind of world we want to live in. There should be regulation on the producers so they do not take these dangerous kind of shortcuts just to make money. The average person doesn’t have the ability to test everything they get to make sure it’s safe. Think about it.

IC-92AD Display Goes Blank
IC-92AD production / design flaw. The display sometimes goes blank when a RF field is present. A non-perfect VSWR to the rubber duck antenna will surely induce this upon itself. (such as transmitting standing next to a metal building).. Initially reports made it appear that its related to VHF digital mode operation, but it will likely show that to do it more often, and in just FM and UHF operations. This problem was first observed by some IC92AD users in Dec 2008. When Icom sales and other reps were asked about it at Dayton (May) 2009, there was still the standard “were not familiar with this problem.. and cannot reproduce it.” Sweeping with another VHF HT in transmit perpendicular seems to be the best way to identify if your IC-92AD is vulnerable to this RF shielding flaw. Tested/reported , affected serial numbers: 0202396 0202481 0202750 series So far I haven’t been able to have the problem crop up with a unit that has the serial numbers; 0203128 0202895 0202883 0203001

Answering the question “what do I want to be when I grow up” is incredibly hard for most people. It is very common to change your mind a lot. VERY common- knowing what you want to do, and holding onto that forever, is pretty uncommon. Some people never know the answer and simply have to find something good enough to make a living that won’t drive them crazy.
There are career counselors available at most high schools and colleges. If you are in school, check out if there is a guidance counselor or career counselor who can help you work through this a bit.

Can anyone tell me any design flaws of Zeppelin airships?
Question by El Matador: Can anyone tell me any design flaws of Zeppelin airships?
My brother and I are attempting to design a very special class of Zeppelin, but I don’t want to give away too many details out of fear of someone ripping us off. However, before we can do anything, we need to try to perfect the design of the Zeppelin itself and It’s rather difficult to find anything online. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

part 1 of a series I’m going to make. Whenever a creationist ever asks you from where will we get our morals from if there is no god or religion, just simply tell them “We get our morals from your religions history” There’s a creationist by the name of philos71 who asks you for donations on his movies, and i beg you please, instead of giving some regular guy money to continue taking advantage of the doltish nature of the human race and please give that money to children in need www.supportunicef.org

Q&A: Should the government legislate the size and shape of a hot dog?
Question by The Fed Up Matthew™: Should the government legislate the size and shape of a hot dog?
Yes this is a serious question believe it or not.

Pediatricians call for a choke-proof hot dog
Nutritionists have long warned of the perils of hot dogs: fat, sodium and preservatives to name a few.
Now, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants foods like hot dogs to come with a warning label — not because of their nutritional risks but because they pose a choking hazard to babies and children.
Better yet, the academy would like to see foods such as hot dogs “redesigned” so their size, shape and texture make them less likely to lodge in a youngster’s throat. More than 10,000 children under 14 go to the emergency room each year after choking on food, and up to 77 die, says the new policy statement, published online today in Pediatrics. About 17% of food-related asphyxiations are caused by hot dogs.
“If you were to take the best engineers in the world and try to design the perfect plug for a child’s airway, it would be a hot dog,” says statement author Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. “I’m a pediatric emergency doctor, and to try to get them out once they’re wedged in, it’s almost impossible.”
The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires labels on toys with small parts alerting people not to give them to kids under 3. Yet there are no required warnings on food, though more than half of non-fatal choking episodes involve food, Smith says.
“No parents can watch all of their kids 100% of the time,” Smith says. “The best way to protect kids is to design these risks out of existence.”
Though Smith says he doesn’t know exactly how someone would redesign a hot dog, he’s certain that some savvy inventor will find a way.
Janet Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, supports the academy’s call to better educate parents and caregivers about choking prevention. “Ensuring the safety of the foods we service to children is critically important for us,” Riley says.
But Riley questions whether warning labels are needed. She notes that more than half of hot dogs sold in stores already have choking-prevention tips on their packages, advising parents to cut them into small pieces. “As a mother who has fed toddlers cylindrical foods like grapes, bananas, hot dogs and carrots, I ‘redesigned’ them in my kitchen by cutting them with a paring knife until my children were old enough to manage on their own,” Riley says.
The Food and Drug Administration, which has authority to recall products it considers “unfit for food,” plans to review the new statement, spokeswoman Rita Chappelle says.
Given the health risks of obesity, pediatrician Alan Greene, author of Feeding Baby Green, says, “The last thing we need is to redesign candy and junk food with cool shapes, so we can give them to kids even younger.”
