Question by rubber ducky: Why are there so many recalls in 2010?

I do not know if u have realized but we have had so many recalls. Such as kids medicine, such as Tylenol and Motrin and Zyrtec. even allergy medicines. There are also so many car recalls, Toyota and Chrysler. Then we have the McDonald Shrek cups which have cadmium which give cancer. Jewelry such as Claire’s and Miley Cyrus’ Wall-Mart brand also have the same problem! Most of the things we probably use have problems too. What can we do? and why is this happening?

Answer by Richard K l
It really seems like there are a lot of recalls lately but they have been going on for a long time but have been covered up. I’m noticing that most of the stuff is from China who in my opinion is trying to poison us purposely a little at a time because “They” want to be the kings of the world. They really don’t have to invade our shores. All they have to do is disrupt our economy by sending crap over here to poison our kids and cause inconveniences in our daily lives. Think about that.
Almost every kind of toy or household equipment comes from China. What easier way to get rid of us slowly. simply my opinion.
edit: I’m not anti-Chinese but it looks obvious to me.

Q&A: how many people have stopped purchasing peanut butter snacks and products due to recall?

Question by bethbird1960: how many people have stopped purchasing peanut butter snacks and products due to recall?

Lance crackers are not selling, but did not use the bad peanut butter from the industrial supplier. Their sales are down. Quaker Oats did not use it either. The company who produced the bad lot knew it was bad and still sold it. How should they be punished?

That reminds me the tainted milk product in China last year. The government there has already executed that criminal last month. On this issue, I really do not see the big difference between the Communist China and the Freeworld of the United States because of human greed.

How many oil rigs have a similar design flaw to the one that failed in the gulf?

Question by retrovertigo: How many oil rigs have a similar design flaw to the one that failed in the gulf?

Everybody is saying how BP cut corners on that rig…or wellhead equipment. (you have to pardon me, I am not an expert) Does anybody know how many other ones there are?

Best answer:

Answer by Bad Moon Rising
What design flaw?
I think you are confusing wellhead equipment with the rig specifications!
EDIT:
The design of every wellhead is pretty much unique. It depends on a large number of technical factors relating to pipe sizes which vary from well to well. The rig design had very very little to do with the “accident”. It is a complicated series of technical issues that are to blame, but at the end of the day it is/was bad decisions that were the cause of the blowout. The circumstances that led to the problems, although not unique, are rare. They have to do with the position (vertically) of reservoirs of different reservoir pressure, and an inability to cement in “production casing” if you lose “circulation” of the much heavier cement in behind the production casing. Normally this is not a fatal problem, but reliance on faulty backup systems, some which appear to have been known to be faulty (Blowout Preventers).
The rig and even the equipment itself, had very little to do with the problem.

Q&A: Why are there so many stupid question on Y!A regarding race?

Question by Little Miss Chatterbox: Why are there so many stupid question on Y!A regarding race?

Why are there so many stupid questions on here which are deliberately designed to offend people? I was just looking around and I came across too many questions saying things like “Why do blacks want to become criminals/gangsters?” or “Why are white people always fishing for compliments?”, those are just a few of what I’ve found. What are these people’s problems? Why do they feel the need to be so ignorant, disrespectful and immature to each other? How can they not see that these stupid questions are not productive in society?

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.

One thing is trying to put lengthy processes on the event threads. That happens all the time with Micro$oft, so that’s why their products are so unresponsive.
