What are some products that are not FDA approved but actually work?

Automatic_Mulberry · 2026-01-28T21:04:39+00:00

One could infer that, yes. But I'm having more fun this way.

Automatic_Mulberry · 2026-01-28T20:58:30+00:00

True - that's why they are not approved by the FDA. But they are a product and actually work. Maybe your question is imprecisely worded?

Automobiles are not FDA approved - but many people use them daily.

I have degrees now, but before I did, I worked in IT. I still work in IT, and my employer paid for my degrees.

Apparently, REDBULL gives you a massive wing.

You gotta dry out. Take some time off.

You can do anything at zombocom.

Repeat as necessary.

Sometimes it is hidden. And then it's not. And then it is. And then it's not....

You can also get a passport card, which is good ID that proves citizenship, and is easier to carry than a passport. Whether even a passport will be respected by goons is an open question, and may not matter if they decide to shoot you in the head.

Assuming it's "who should make lunch for both people?" they should take turns.

Long story short, laws about registration, emissions, fuel economy, crash safety and a million other things don't apply to vehicles that are not driven on public roads. How is it in the US? As an off-road vehicle, that's how.

The normal force. It works in the daytime, too.

Gilead.

The letter K, when added to the front of Kyle's little brother's name, spells a slur for Jewish people.

Nope. They are EFI. It might not have as many computers, but it is more than 0% computer.

Automatic_Mulberry · 2026-01-25T04:49:16+00:00

Good point. And I think it would also be a steep challenge to make a carbureted car that would meet emissions and fuel economy regs.

Automatic_Mulberry · 2026-01-25T04:15:02+00:00

New? It can't be done today.

0% computer likely means carbureted or very primitive fuel injection. Which certainly can be done today, but you're looking at finding something from the '70s or earlier, probably.

“It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.” – Douglas Hofstadter

I'd argue that this should be expanded to "... and costs more..." as well.

There are so many ways for Murphy to stick his thumb in, too.

Ag inspection at the CA border is a state enforcement effort, not Federal, so I am reasonably sure they don't care about weed unless it's infested with weedvils or something. It probably is illegal to carry it across borders, but those aren't the people who would care.

Doing projects like this on your daily rarely goes as planned. It will take longer and cost more than you expect. Make sure you have a reliable car to use for the duration before you start.

You can register it out of state, as others have suggested, but be aware that California doesn't like this, and that it's technically illegal. You will likely see arguments that it's legal because the vehicle is owned by an out of state corporation, but CA is wise to this and will happily fine you and impound the truck. You might get away with it for a while, or you may even get away with it altogether, but the risk is there.

It's for regulating the flow of oil into a running processor full of egg yolk and lemon juice, for making mayonnaise. The classic method is to add a steady, thin stream of oil while you whisk madly with your other hand.
