Thaddius the Large posted:We built a rack of PVC pipes so we could quickly rotate through tubes one at a time and prevent any single one from getting too warm, works just fine. As an added bonus it's way more stable than the ones that you get at a stand, after one incident where the tube fell over on lighting it became a pretty high priority. I've done the same and the pvc ones hold up pretty well but the card board are crap. But even the pvc ones can give out after so many shots.

They're just proudly continuing the racists traditions of the Washington Redskins. You see whether it's refusing to change their slur name, or to sign any black players, Washington has always led the nation in pro sports bigotry. wandler20 posted:Every firework I've lit has a slow fuse that gives you plenty of time to get to safety.

Unless you are lighting fireworks from behind a glass pane at a distance there is no way to be safe. Esp mortars, I've seen mortar stands fall over, and I've seen mortars come out of the stand wrong and get about 15 feet in the air before showering the whole party in sparks -somebody who could not hear out of his right ear for ~2 hours on the 4th because of firework stupidity

Febreeze posted:I mean, even if you're being safe, isn't there a chance an occasional shoddy firework might just explode right as you light it? Maybe JPP and this guy just got unlucky. Yeah, that is totally possible! That's why you don't hold it in your loving hand while you light the loving firework. There isn't any shrapnel in the drat firework, so the only way to actually damage yourself is to put something directly over the spot where fire and poo poo comes out, or to actually be holding on to the drat thing. Basically, you have to be trying to injure yourself. Edit ^^^^^ Mortars are a whole different kind of monster and should be treated with the same caution you treat guns with, i.e., don't let unlicensed nfl players use them.

Fireworks are legal in NH and are ubiquitous, but that doesn't stop a little kid or two breaking into the stash and doing stupid poo poo with it every year. Since moving to MA though, I hear about kids around here doing it an awful lot playing chicken and other dumb things.

quote:Conrad sophomore Joseph Davis said, "A Redskin represents support, commitment, courage, heart, history, pride, but most importantly, tradition, love and honor. Through any difficulty, any loss, we as a student body, a community and a family are still proud to be Redskins. He's right about one thing; the Redskins are history.

From the Judge's ruling: quote:As a threshold matter, throughout the pleadings the parties conflated the legal principles surrounding trademarks with those surrounding trademark registration. Just as Allen Iverson once reminded the media that they were wasting time at the end of the Philadelphia 76ers season talking about practice and not an actual professional basketball game, the Court is similarly compelled to highlight what is at issue in this case-trademark registration, not the trademarks themselves. It is the registrations of the Redskins Marks that were scheduled for cancellation by the decision, not the trademarks. In fact, the TTAB itself pointed out that it is only empowered to cancel the statutory registration of the marks under Section it cannot cancel the trademarks themselves.

Sup fire work loving bros. Been doing fireworks since I could walk and had bottle rocket wars and did all kinds of stupid poo poo as a kid. No one was ever injured. Now we're more chill about fireworks in terms of stupid poo poo, but light of tons of big ones, including mortars. Worst things to happen in recent memory were dud mortars that only went about 20 ft up -- no one majorly injured - and one of the 12 shot cakes just blowing up all at once instead of shooting poo poo up in the air. Again, no one hurt, because we're a safe distance from where fireworks go off. How to avoid injuring self when doing fireworks: - only one person lighting at a time(unless you're at the point in the evening when you're lighting off multiple mortars at once, in which case you're coordinating) - always make sure your mortar will smoothly go down the tube, if not, get a new one - rotate tubes so they don't get warped too fast and give them time to cool - light that poo poo with a big rear end punk and run back once the fuse gets going I've only experienced short wicks on two things -- really old fireworks I found buried in a closet and individual black cats that aren't the starter wick. even then, you can usually light and throw those.

With bottle rockets you get a pvc pipe and a fashion a crude shoulder mount and fire them like a bazooka

They still launch into the water and make cool water explosions. Roman Candles are most of the firework injures in the US because people close their hand around them and THEN they explode.

You know, it never really struck me that they're actually divisional rivals. Good on Mettenberger for taunting the bear, divisional rivals should be dicks to each other. Sorry for what's going to happen to him though.
