The differences are obvious. Most jobs utilizing chippers, chainsaws, or jackhammers are one time jobs, not weekly, or even more frequently.
People are much more willing to forgive the disturbance which occurs with one time jobs than regular maintenance type jobs.
And people are more likely to use a labor-saving device for jobs that they have to do regularly. It doesn't change the fact that people are very annoyed by, specifically, leaf blowers, and often don't find the regular disturbance they cause to be justified. By "people," I assume you mean those who have no input on the decision to hire a lawn crew, or what tools that lawn crew uses. Those who do have input clearly do accept it, since it gets used so frequently. |

And what about when they are out of the package in a bowl or something?
It behooves a person with a food allergy to be cognizant of what he's eating. |

It actually is possible to generate an EMP without a nuclear blast. As you point out, though, the delivery systems would be pretty similar, and a nuclear blast is, I think (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), the strongest way of generating an EMP currently available. Certainly the effect would be identical, to anyone not in direct line-of-sight of the event: A missile launch, and then a few seconds later, they lose contact with a large swathe of countryside.
Thus, if one is worrying about world-wide EMP, one is also probably worrying about world-wide nuclear war, and at that point, the inability to access your bitcoin wallets is the least of your problems.

The chipper/shredder is fine, but the leaf-blower GOES TOO FAR!!!
Funny how in your attempt at sarcasm, you actually capture the truth, and yet you don't understand why. If you start to think about jobs requiring chippers, chainsaws and jackhammers, you might see the difference. I have a large number of branches from the recent storm that I could use a chipper for, though I could just haul them off as-is, that seems like a bit of a waste. There's a log and a few stumps that I'll pretty much need to use a chainsaw to clear out an axe would eventually get the job done, but again, a waste of time. If I want to put in a new patio, I'm going to need a jackhammer to remove the old concrete slab. I suppose I could get it done with a sledge, but that's a lot of back-breaking labor. If my yard is covered in leaves, a blower will get it cleaned up a whole lot faster than a rake. In other words, the jobs that those tools are designed for are all things I might need to do in my own yard. And they are all labor-saving devices. You don't get it, even when you need to use the tools at hand. What is the difference between the typical jobs requiring chippers, chainsaws, and jackhammers vs. leaf blowers? Chippers are for turning branches into wood chips, chainsaws are for cutting trees down and logs into manageable size, jackhammers are for breaking up rocks and concrete, and leaf blowers are for moving leaves and grass clippings into piles. I don't see any consistent differences. They're all fairly laborious chores, which the device in question makes easier. |

My condolences to you and your family, Shaggy, but it's not M&M's fault your brother ate peanut butter. I know you're hurting, and looking for someone to blame, but this is not the way to do it.

WWIII would result in the end of humanity for sure.
Probably not the end. We're a remarkably resilient species. But it woud definitely set us back a ways. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein |

It seems useless.
You wouldn't be saying that if you were a Windows systems admin. Or if you wanted to check your local or gateway IP. Or a bunch of other things. The command line in Windows is just for the more advanced users who know what they can get out of it. It isn't very well written. Something with bash-like syntax would be better. But then it would be the Linux CLI. |

Ive concluded that every discussion involving anarchism on this forum will devolve into ancaps and pro capitalism herpderps idealizing themselves into a hole.
Well, if you want anti-capitalist herpderps, you've come to the wrong place. |

I know from second hand experience that, although WalMart certainly isn't the greatest employer ever, it's nothing like what it's often portrayed as in union propaganda. I may not have a 'global' perspective, but I certainly do have a 'local' one. From where I've been standing, your worldview makes no sense.
And I know from first hand experience that while Wal-Mart is decidedly anti-union, it's a very good employer. Reasonable pay, very nice benefits. And no other breakroom I've ever been in has had rotisserie chicken up for grabs in it - even occasionally. |

Good on them - I guess they think it might stop some baddies
You're kidding, yes? Yes, I am - I wasn't expecting to qualify my answer as I hoped sarcasm was worldly wise. If you'd seen some of the discussions I've been involved in on here, you might not have pegged it as sarcasm, either.  |

Since we would all die in a nuclear war it is not really a concern. Cockroaches do not need bitcoin.
What if there will be no nuclear attack? only EMP.. It would need to be literally world-wide to affect Bitcoin, and if the internet went down, bitcoin would be the last thing on anyone's mind (at least, in the areas affected). |

Classic side issue that An-Cap&Co always struggles with: at what age are they "old enough"?
Old enough for what? Dress themselves? Most kids can do that by five. Cross the street? 7, maybe 8 for the slow ones. Drink responsibly? Hell, even some adults aren't mature enough to handle that. Age is a number. Maturity is not measured in years. I think the real issue is when can they voluntarily enter into contracts. For instance, I'm sure my son would have traded 20 years of service for a box of cookies when he was five. Again, I know adults whom I would not put much past such foolish choices. Maturity isn't magically granted at 18. That's just an arbitrary number our society has selected. And worse, by selecting it, we've prevented those under that age from gaining much responsibility. |

Another place barter is alive and well is the school cafeteria and recess yard. Kids trade crap all the time.
