I am not without humor.
I miss a lot about the good old days as well.
Didn’t a lot of litigation happen about safe working conditions and flight attendants contracting emphysema and lung cancer from prolonged exposure to second hand smoke in confined quarters of airplanes in flight?
I don’t know if the cases grew legs or not.
What''s the 'home solution'? You're computer battery or car battery start to burn...

Weren’t those government “studies” exposed as deeply flawed?
