I keep asking myself, what critical industry shutdown by regs and taxes will be the tipping point, the industry that brings it all down around our ears.:

Spam reported.
We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.
Re: Another Industry Bites The Dust
This will definitely make bullets more expensive. Anyone have a good lead on a plasma rifle? 
Any thoughts on terminal ballistics for steel shot embedded in plastic?
The electronics industry has already moved to mostly lead free operation based on lead paranoia, despite the new solders not being as good as lead-tin eutectic.

What is BTDT?

Re: Another Industry Bites The Dust
ROHS has made electronics less reliable and manufacturing more expensive. The military - when it can - prefers lead based solders for reliability.
It is much less brittle and the temperature profiles for soldering are much less extreme. And water vapor control of electronic plastics is not required.

What news? If they shut down the gun industry that's news. Otherwise it's just more gunpenisnutjob propaganda.MSimon wrote:And reporting news is spam? You have a very novel interpretation.Schneibster wrote:Spam reported.

Been There Done That. ROHS was the major pain at my last job. Not just solder, but everything else.MSimon wrote:What is BTDT?

Feel free to eat all the lead you want at home. The rest of us prefer not to go slowly insane from brain damage. Sorry if we have to lock you up later.Jccarlton wrote:Been There Done That. ROHS was the major pain at my last job. Not just solder, but everything else.MSimon wrote:What is BTDT?

When opinion and reality conflict - guess which one is going to win in the long run.

Re: Another Industry Bites The Dust
See, the problem with lead in the solder is when you throw the electronics away.
Did I actually hear someone claim lead doesn't cause brain damage?
Really?
Seriously?
I mean, I know you guys are anti-science, but that's unusually stupid even for you.
