    And the true irony is that these detectors are made in China...

    The real question is, how is this device cheaper than using small children to test for lead?

    Interesting, but can it detect itself for lead?

    @ripfire: What happens when someone invents a lead detector detector. So that you can swap the merch out before they can lead detect your stuff yo?

    @Curves: It's like the phasers from the original Star Trek. Whenever they needed to pack some heat discretely they could detach the smaller hand phaser 1 from the larger phaser 2.

    My brother is a technical exec with a steel mill that's been in use since the 1920s.

    Reminds me of Final Fantasy 7. I guess it makes sense since Squeenix is based in Japan

    Ummm, we have those in the States as well. It's called Hammond, Indiana.


    For those that don't know, the "smoke" you see is water vapor, it's clean. The stacks that have nothing coming out of them are probably spewing out more pollution.


    It's a refinery.

    @Nick Pangere: IIRC, water vapor IS a form of pollution.
