I thought ice cream (and a lot of other thing in the ads) was usually mashed potatoes.

‘Demonrats’ is usually what I hear, and it’s about as far from clever as Albuquerque is from India.

Nobody touches my cello. The last person who did staved in the side.

I mean, #1, yes, but #2? Eeeeeeh…

Okay, when did mansplaining change from overexplaining something simple because the listener isn’t a man to just explaining things in a horrendously incorrect manner?

This isn’t mansplaining, this is just being a massive christian dumbass.

It’s great, don’t look up any advice or guides. Everything can be found by exploring; they put the stuff you need right in your face and it’s a relatively small map.

It’s actually going to be great for you. When I was still more interested in eye surgeries, there was a special substance that was used on the patient to keep the eyes open. It’s still in some hospitals. What is it? Near-100% pure cocaine, baby!

You should know what category you fall into… It’s not like getting banned and going somewhere else is an event chain you wouldn’t know about.

The peroxide didn’t work for me once the wax became impacted. Maybe if I had repeated it several times in the course of a day, but it was easier to just repeat the trip to the doctor to have them get it out. Losing your hearing absolutely sucks, and I didn’t want to delay getting it back.

I don’t know, man, I think I could last an hour, maybe even two, before all the skin fell off. Even with the best lube, you’re gonna do some damage for 720 hours straight.

Those two in particular are in Beaumont, a particularly ass-backwards area of the state. One of its satellite cities, Vidor, is talked about even in Texas as being vitriolic in their racism. I’ve also been inside both of those hospitals’ emergency rooms, and wouldn’t want to be there if my life depended on it.

Heh, there was a guy in my purview yesterday whose costume was Guts. Nice recollection you’ve summoned up.

It’s much, much quicker, simpler, and easier to reach into the ear canal and gently scrape out the wax. The few times I used any fluid, it was a tiresome affair, and it never really got out all of the wax that could start to build. You would have to do it every other day to prevent real buildup, and that would be a gigantic pain.

I remember Sandy Hook. I was working in a primary school at the time and helped harden in the pointless ways we actually could. And, like, I get that, but it isn’t the whole society. We haven’t gotten to the point where rule of law actually disintegrates. As bad as that is, I fear for true war from one side against the other(s), where we will see everyone pull out weapons and hold them to the heads of the other side in order to get their way, blast away at those they see as other… not just use laws to slowly strangle the ideas of self-autonomy and democracy.

I have the same experience, generally. It will definitely have a lot of room to wiggle around, depending on the particular gun’s characteristics, the bullet’s characteristics, and even the surrounding environment. If you read the wikipedia on it, you’ll even see a section complaining about how measured dB levels are nearly useless if the distance from the source isn’t measured. A lawn mower across the street isn’t such a big deal, but the one pushing it should have hearing protection.

It’s becoming more of a worry in my mind that within my remaining lifetime I will see an uncivilized society in America. So far the majority of people seem to at least scoff at the Jan. 6 actions, and no true movement of insurrection (meaning they are willing to wage war and not back down when confronted with armed resistance, not that Jan. 6 wasn’t treason) has seized the country.

units? what are those? I never use units, or pay attention to capitals. pure math ftw, baby!

It’s not. It’s just one of those things that people groan about because when you first learn it the concept is confusing. After about 15 minutes of instruction on a unit circle, it’s not a big deal at all.

It shouldn’t, barring strange laws. Most states set jurisdiction by whether an action occurred in their territory, or if it affected something inside of their territory (so prosecuting a pedophile from somewhere else who was trying to lure a child in the state prosecuting). A report from another news agency in Chicago says the state court’s judge merely put the case on hold and the federal judge has just taken the petition from musky and the counterargument from the state prosecutors, and now has asked for a response from musky; so it hasn’t actually been moved yet.

Plot twist: This guy’s a republican and it wasn’t him taking the test.
