Re: Soldering irons: made in America but designed in Russia?

Nope. It's modern art. I'm young at heart, unlike you, you're mentally dead.

You poor bastard. Glad to note I'm getting your goat as badly as Slowman's ;-) So happy to note that I can now aggravate Larkin just as easily as Slowman ;-) Larkin's first sign of senility is persistently trying to be an asshole when he is realy nothing more than an amateur.

His second sign of senility is touting his company's wonderful circuit designs as his own, while posting amateur crap on S.E.D

The third sign is acting like Polly Prissypants :-)

Modern expressionist plus much Native American art.

What is you aged mind into... American Gothic ?:-)

No, more like Kinkade style.

Got any originals? Mine is _all_ original or commissioned.

Enjoy the radon exposure. Apparently some granite is pretty radioactive.

What a rock pile of nonsense ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Not from Kinkade, just licensed copies that are sold in limited qties. His art gallery is right here in Placerville. No need to show off :-)

Seriously, if we were contemplating buying an original we'd rather buy a limited edition (a.k.a. legal) copy and give the rest to church.

I support our local native American communities, Apache, Hopi, Pima and Navajo... probably $100K worth of paintings and stonework statuary; plus some selected gringo (impressionist) artists ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Ok, but this stuff (impressionist) just ain't our taste. Since you have contacts to the Hopi do you know whatever happened to Hopi Electronics? I tried to find them a couple of times when sub-contract work was needed but no luck. What I've seen from them in the early 90's was top quality work.

Haven't heard of them.

In the early '70's I used PAMCO (paraplegics) for contract assembly but, likewise, haven't heard anything of them in quite a while.

Yet another weenie pokes his head out of the swamp.

Granite itself isn't particularly radioactive. The main problem is that the radon it gives off is quite radioactive, and can accumulate in the structure of buildings.

This only matters if your house is built in an area where most the prevailing geology is granite; worktops or other small lumps of granite aren't an issue.

Actually true. Some granite has a uranite component. Also some feldspar (a common component in granite) is ususally mildly radioactive. Also, radioactive components in granite may not produce any radon. .

The Radon scare, exceeded only in hype by global warming. I made some money from the Radon scare... maybe I can conjure a way to use global warming to my advantage ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Sell a Global Warming Alarm. It doesn't have to really do anything, except run down lots of batteries.

I could make a CO2 monitor, just like I made a Radon monitor... although it might be easier to make a hot air monitor ;-)

Don't turn it towards Europe without a 'Peltier Front End Attenuator' or it will self distruct.

Sno-o-o-o-ort!
