Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Watched Toy Story. I keep forgetting the Joss has writing credit for that. I can see him writing the bit where Mr. Potato Head pulls off his lips and touches his butt to mock an ass-kissing toy.
According to the commentary, he also wrote a bit where Mr. Potato Head slips one of his eyes under Bo-Peep's skirt. It was cut for TS1, but was the inspiration for the scene in TS2 when they use his eye to check out the toy collector's room from the air duct before rescuing Woody.
Isn't asbestos already outlawed and lawsuitworthy and all that?
I spent two weeks in a pit of asbestos earlier this year. Ah, what a glamorous life I lead.
Kind of hard to outlaw a naturally occurring mineral.
When I was in middle school, they were doing a whole lot of renovations on the school, and had to remove the asbestos from the walls they were working with. It was one of the worst-run things I've ever seen. There were some tarps taped over the entrances to the construction zones, but there were always clouds of dust coming up from behind them. I think that every kid in our school with asthma ended up in the ER at least twice that year.

But you can outlaw using it as insulation, and for most industrial uses too. (There may be one or two applications where it is unavoidable - don't know, but there sure as heck are substitutes for most purposes.)

Well, they outlawed naturally growing plants, so it's just part of the dominion of mother earth.

Indeed. And yet they spend a fortune doing so with pot.
The asbestos litigation IS out of control, and this is a good step. If you don't think it is, consider that this is not something that is unanimously supported by manufacturers.
And honestly, I don't think because Halliburton took on some liability it really affects this bill in any way.

Just another lucky break for Halliburton then? They seem to get a lot of them from this administration.

That is true.
