So, while out and about today I encountered a nearly 20 year old Dodge Caravan with two giant stickers on the side. One said the second amendment is the original "Homeland Security department" and the other was two handguns pointing at each other with the words "ISIS Hunter" between them.

So I guess that explains why ISIS is still causing problems. Our soldiers are apparently looking in Suburban Ohio for them.

The company doesn't need to abide by building codes so long as they aren't building anything. Legally, I don't think they have anything to worry about. If they provide the information on their site that they advise against useing the PE for taller structures, they've done their part to accurately convey the information. It's up to the building owner/contractors to choose the correct materials for their projects.

problem:
According to the report, Arconic marketed the material differently in the U.K. than in the rest of Europe, where sales materials explicitly instructed that the flammable material could not be used. In the U.K., the marketing said such use depends on local building codes, the report said.

I was on the UK product site when I looked up that info previously. An explicit installation guide warning against using the material over a certain height would've stood out pretty clearly.

Having said that, it's definitely on the builder and the consultants to ensure fire safety of building materials used.

This is gonna get very court-sey.

I guess President Trump would have to give back his medal for Saudi Arabia to make the travel ban list.
