This is basically how Ixion went. The game didn’t needa soundtrack to go this hard, but it absolutely put it over the top. <a href=""></a> <a href=""></a>
Yeah, I set the toaster on fire once also. I had read online that you can make cheese toast in there if you turn the toaster sideways so that the cheese is on top vs gravity. It might have worked if the toaster hadn’t caught fire. I had to throw it out the front door into the yard
Id say the design flaw is allowing it to function in that position at all. Put a gravity switch in there like space heaters have, so that it it tilts more than a few degrees it shuts off
This is an incredibly American attitude. The appliance clearly has a commonly occurring misuse that puts consumers at risk of burning their neighborhood down.
It would be a trivial addition to put a physical deadman’a switch on the bottom, exactly like what space heaters use.
The role of government and regulation is to serve and protect the people. I cannot believe you are unironically advocating that corporations should just put out whatever dangerous products they want with no repercussions just because there is one specific way to use it “correctly”.
Nevermind the million things that could happen. Cat knocks it over. Disabled or elderly person? Stoned college kid? Child?
I guess it’s all about pErSoNaL rEsPoNsiBilItY when it benefits you, and all about collectivism when it only benefits you huh?
There’s a thousand things that can destroy your house if you use them wrong. Leave the stove on, turn the gas on without lighting it, store loaded firearms in the oven, extension cord trees, breaker bypasses, tinker with any utility, any number of cleaning products, cars in general, water leaks, just leaving the water running, space heaters, portable generators, shorting the terminals on a battery, the list goes on.
And preventing the use of the toaster sideways won’t fix the problem anyway. People will still cram extra stuff in there, and overcooked toast can catch on fire without much provocation. Even just forgetting to clean the crumb tray can cause a fire. Trying to foolproof a toaster just gets you an incredibly expensive device that rarely works.
Tired of burning your house down when you want to use your toaster toske something not toast? Introducing the toaster oven. For when you want to toast something besides bread.
That said, eating asbestos flakes isn’t the most dangerous thing. Plastic partially burning close to your food, but too slowly for you to notice seems way worse… And there are many fire retardants that are safer to handle in a factory but that will give you a really bad time if you eat them.
Fire “removedants?” You mean fire removedants? How about artardents? I suppose one could argue that the automatic censorship of your word is a form of dysfunctional regulation.
There’s all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?
It is a hotdog inside of a cornbread shell, often served on a wooden stick. It is commonly a kids food though lately I’ve seen some restaurants make fancier versions goldbelly.imgix.net/uploads/…/Original.png?ixlib=…
A “cron dog” however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.
Very good point and one that people often forget. It’s literally impossible to build high speed rail without first becoming an authoritarian dictatorship.
Now I’m confused, what do you mean? I never said they didn’t have a great high speed rail network. I think they’ve done a great job and I’ve got no problem acknowledging that. I was just poking fun at the implication of the meme.
Well, China, a participatory democracy with a 95 percent approval rating according to a Harvard study, is in the meme building high speed rail, and you’re claiming you have to be an authoritarian dictatorship to build high speed rail?
That all may be true, but have you considered the fact that they’re savage mongoloids who need enlightened white people to come and bring democracy to them?
US is the authoritarian dictatorship here, and it can’t build shit. Meanwhile, worker democracy in China is able to build infrastructure at scale. Don’t take my word for it though, every western study admits this
I don’t know, man. This sounds like some “the enemy is both strong and weak” BS to me. When they can’t build a HSR in California they are an unplanned economy but when I point out the cost of China’s flavour of government suddenly the US is a dictatorship?
I’ve got no issues acknowledging when China does some good things but come on. I was rightfully making fun of the implication of your meme here and you come back with doublespeak. There’s really no need to pick a side and defend it at all costs, we can acknowledge the positive and negative things.
but when I point out the cost of China’s flavour of government suddenly the US is a dictatorship?
I mean I linked you a whole bunch of western studies showing that people living in China see their country as being more democratic than people living in US see theirs. Furthermore, a study analyzing decades of US policy has found the following:
These ideas are not in nearly as much tension as you think. California is a bourgeois dictatorship (like all other capitalist nations), and the bourgeoisie require the government to forgo centrally planning the economy in order to maximize their exploitation of the people (and therefore profit margins).
That’s not true because the bike is on the floor. A true F&F would present a fully anti gravity bike in the ceiling with guns enough to defeat all armies in the world and armor enough to handle three weeks of non-stop bombing
