Pretty sure it was the detection method that got them sued.

I think it's dumb that they have, or had, a patent on the safety system in the first place. It's such a fundamentally good and valuable feature that it should be required in every table saw sold. The government should have said "hey, this is awesome, we're going to nationalize this patent and pay you ten million dollars up front and royalties on every table saw sold in this country in the next 20 years, but everyone is going to use it and you can't lock other companies out."

It's like if a car company had a patent on seat belts and refused to let anyone else use them.

Fun Fact that the inventor of the 3 point seat belt did patent it but let any car company use it.

I have done ice swimming, I don't like it without sauna but some prefer it without. My favourite time was when I made a hole in the ice with axe myself, the gulf in front of the sauna was only knee deep so I had to slide my feet and body under the ice to get proper wet. No way I would dive under the ice though.

She's got a tether though. That is the way. Because then you know the way, which is a p key aspect of this

Smacking open your own hole with an axe is cool, once or twice, and after that it's a dang tedium, esp when it's a foot or so. Takes the spontaneity out of it. Usually I have Enrique do it for me, of course. Swim, I mean.

You and the patent holder half agree. He wants it to be legally required and he wants to hold the patent and make all the money.

So you're saying the conclusions of the report are correct, but that when writing the report the professional crash investigators didn't think of that obvious source of error that you based on your untrained intuition?

No, I'm imagining a reason the investigators would have said the evidence was inconclusive while acknowledging that I am spitballing ideas. For all I know they said the evidence was inconclusive because they saw two morons were fiddling with all the knobs before they could be examined.

I wonder if there is any kind of precedent for what is essentially emminent domain on patent ideas for the greater good. LIke the polio vaccine or penicillin. If somebody came up with a pill that cures all types of cancer the person that invented it deserves some cash (along with the accolades of saving millions of lives) but surely the government would step in to avoid a Shkreli situation.

I watched them raise an entire 8 unit apartment building that had settled. But they used some sort of high psi mud, not foam.

There were a couple blowouts of the slab which resulted in mud on the ceilings. And when a building that’s been slowly settling for 30 years suddenly gets straightened out, you get a lot of popped drywall seams. A lot.
