Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

More stuff for the landfills.
Oh well...they are small and could settle down and help fill in small gaps.


Not to mention the birds and other wildlife critters that would enjoy munching on them.

Cartos are metal. Why would wild critters knowingly eat metal?

Well, I think ignorant can be fixed with education. Stupid, the willing choice to not be educated is not fixable until the choice alters.

I previously mentioned the Dunning Kruger effect. It comes out of research conducted by David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University since 1999. Their results indicate stupidity is not a choice, nor can be fixed by education. A way to summarize these results is to say that those who are truly stupid are too stupid to realize that they are stupid. As Dunning has put it:

"If you're incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent.… [T]he skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is."

The battle in the US has begun!

Last night we had a private screening for members of Congress, their staff & others fighting to save lives.

Thanks to the American Civil Rights Union, Institute for Liberty, Hispanic Leadership Fund & Frontiers of Freedom for making this happen.

"...for members of Congress, their staff & others fighting to save lives."

I hope some of the opposition attended.

Do you inhale? Then you're better off smoking Philip Morris.

Shiny.
Fish like shiny, many birds do also.

In other words stupid is a catch 22?

That's true, just not seeing beyond that attracting them. Yes, I understand that would be all it took. What I'm driving at is that after one time, critters would likely not bother. Also it seems a bit sick to suggest we feed that to critters.

Of course its sick. I wouldn't suggest that.
I don't think they should go in landfills either.
Stuff like that just doesn't biodegrade

I don't doubt that soon the gub'min will come up with an expensive and mandatory scheme to recycle cigalike cartridges.
Users will have to register. They'll get a special red recycling bin with a skull and crossbones on it.
The bins will be very popular among the unregistered rebel vapers
who will steal them and use them to keep their DIY stuff.

Hazy

Only if you can comprehend the concept. For some people a catch 22 might be part of a rifle.

We don't feed it to critters; I don't think anybody suggested that. But disposable metal/plastic cartridges are very environmentally unfriendly. Birds and sea mammals commonly mistake plastics for food and then inevitably starve to death. There are islands of trash several miles long floating on the Pacific, polluting the waters and killing wildlife.

All disposable plastic or metal objects will eventually end up in our landfills or in our oceans, rivers, and lakes and forests. Not good for anybody. We have enough trash in our environment.

Your post here for a reason I cannot yet articulate, impresses upon me some odd thoughts. It may be the way you have chosen words & what is conveyed. Then, it may be I am tired and not exactly being a little fish as it were and enjoining in the take it at face value caravan.

Will digress for the nonce, letting sleep offer a better train of thought.

Ok..I was being slightly facetious and sarcastic. Jesting but being semi serious at once.
However not very..given the apparent depth of what seems to me like a conspiracy to control and profit from every detail of our lives, allegedly for our own protection; it wouldn't surprise me if it developed to where the only legal vape products were cigalikes...and that they had a plan to profit from the spent cartridges.

Surely there would be DIY rebels...

As far as the cartridges attracting critters, recall those shiny fishing lures.
Certainly we should not condone more pollution of our environment.
Stuff like that needs to be crushed and smelted, then recycled into something useful instead of disregarding the rights of little animals.

This reminds me of the k-pod debate and law suit.

How so? Sorry, I'm not sure I've heard every debate--information overload.

Ok, we need to be organized.
Hazy, at your convenience please send me the contact info for Abbie.
(oh wait, he's gone)
Or Jerry
(crap, him too)
Sad, 'cause I have a feeling they'd be fighting in our favor too...
What's a poor boy to do??

The plastic pods in the land fills and other coffee companies filing law suits against them.

I'm sorry,when I kept reading about the land fills and critters eating plastic and shiny things,it reminded me of the k-pod deal
