It's not really all that "dumb" when you look past that and see exactly where the myth is taking people in terms of our government. Cigarettes are still not contraband. That means that the use of them is an individual choice to make, just like you choose what to eat or choose what color to paint your dining room. What Gov want to do is chisel away, very slowly and gradually like the proverbial slow boiled frog, all of your individual choices. They started by banning smoke on public transportation and in government buildings and later graduated to bans in privately owned vehicles and privately owned properties such as malls and banks. Now, the proposal is to ban indoor smoking, even at home and away from the public. But, once they get away with that by continuing to spout so many specious allegations about the smell or the health effects on people while NOBODY has one solitary molecule of evidence to support the claims, the next thing to go would be many of the other choices you make, such as how big your toilet tank is allowed to be, the type of lighting you're allowed to use or even having the government control your thermostat by radio signal. You won't recognize this nation in forty years. And you'll be sitting here, typing to people who call you stupid just for knowing things can be better if you could just push all the regulations down the commode. Me? I'm just in here trying to awaken somebody.

Do you believe that carbon monoxide has its own aroma? I'm not moving any goal post. I'm just showing how lame your argument is about cigarette aroma.

No, you stop them at the border and turn them away.

So, what's that picture even supposed to mean? Looks like that kid wants to change the channel and old guy insists on watching football or some boring crap like that. It's kind of incongruous to the OP.

Let's see whether a truck from Aaron's appears later.

That attitude is part of how nations end up fading out of existence.

You have to discard the whole tank. Think of how that applies to other things... or to people.

What sort of work is it?

Just look for long, matted hopelessly entangled fur that has to be snipped off with scissors. A dlh has it that way.

Who are you even talking to? This ain't like the old boards, where you could click something and see which post is being answered.

Practically all that are out there. Pick one.

I've already seen one of those things in action. Slam into a a wall, reverse, slam into the sofa, jerk sideways, slam into another wall, reverse, slam again into sofa... That's all it does... slam and bash into things and it won't even pick up any more than the superficial surface dirt. Now to make one big enough to do a five acre casino floor, it would have to weigh about 400 pounds, have better navigation and be equipped to make decisions, such as whether to just simply pull and remove a trash bag or to lift and dump the entire can upside down. There are varied circumstances that could determine the answer. Then, you have the added cost of liability insurance when the machine knocks somebody out of his wheelchair.

When did I say that?

More precisely, how is anybody ever to smell carbon monoxide at all?

Maybe... if you drill a bunch of two inch holes in it.

Yeah... it's like when I'm in the store for only three things and I hear the 497 pound blubber butt ahead of me say to the cashier something like, "Seven twenty one, straight and box..." and she's holding a bank envelope full of cash and no groceries to buy. Ya know what I have to do? Put my stuff back on the shelves and go to another store. It's because in the time it takes me to walk three blocks to another store, pick out my stuff, pay for it and walk back, I can look in the window see her still standing there with five guys waiting behind her. "Two sixty four, straight and box..." Yeah, she's tossing away her whole windfall of money on lottery tickets and holding up the line. That is, except the money she spends on cake, candy and other things to keep that baloney whale bod going on.

So, your keen sense of smell alone should alert you to carbon monoxide... your logic, not mine.

And I'm telling him he should use his own five senses to pick things up. My eight year old nephew is more perceptive than he is. It's like when the online weather doohicky on my phone says it 80 degrees outside and the mercury in my own outdoor thermometer says it's 62. Somebody has it all wrong or is lying. It's that simple. Stop, look and perceive. It's that simple.

That's a straw man argument. Dog droppings and cigarettes emit entirely different gasses from one another. Hint: Why doesn't the smell of carbon monoxide all by itself alert you to its presence?

Study of what, precisely... ?

I just though about all those poor people who boarded a ship to Antarctica to study the melting ice and had to be rescued by Chinese ships equipped with massive ice smashers. Bar har har!

He's the guy getting paid by the dump truck full just for doing water cooler talk. Can you do that?

Sounds like you're just making shit up. Or, you just don't remember seeing the smoke in retrospect because you're so busy scrambling to make a point now. Anyway, why do we need to have little machines attached to our walls... to tell us when carbon monoxide is in the room?

They all get paid to do water cooler talk.

Doesn't look like my work is ever done around here. Still chiseling for that garnet.
