I think it’s because of Americanized potato salad. The kind with miracle whip and tons of corn syrup. I’ve had mayo based salads like this and it makes me want to puke (as an American lol)

I think this plays with the stereotype that weird eccentric middle aged people like weird/gross food. Sort of like jello salad coincidentally (search it up, it is foul).

Because the FTC is toothless when it comes to EULAs. You can sign your rights away by agreeing to it (which is required to play the game).

Rats are big fluffy friend that never shower, reek, and likely harbor many diseases 🥰

Kind of gives me flashbacks to Amazon go stores. Despite them discussing all of their advanced technology to allow you to simply walk out with your groceries, around 70% had to be manually reviewed and corrected by an army of Indian technicians. I have a feeling this is going to be another case of ai meaning “A bunch of Indians”

Even pizza dough and sauce is a scam. You really got to do everything from scratch.

On the bright side you can make a big ass batch of sauce and dough and make your own frozen pizzas to bake when you don’t feel like cooking.

It’s weird because it’s the size of lumber BEFORE smoothing the edges. Manufacturers take this inch a mile and the 2x4 (as well as all other dimensional lumber) has gotten smaller and smaller.

Aw dude Chinese takeout always makes me feel like shit. Not Chinese food, mind you, I grew up with a Chinese family and ate tons of the stuff, i cook it myself too.

The takeout on the other hand is just utterly drenched and sopping wet in oil. You can pick up a few noodles and grease will be dripping from them.

So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies “thanks!”

I use the correct driver, I’ll go through my kit to find the best fitting bit. It simply comes down to the fact they are designed to strip to avoid “catastrophic failure”. Plus the fact that companies use intentionally cheap, soft screws, to make repair and service harder. Cough cough zinc screws on a $10,000 iMac (steel screws would have cost 25 cents for 10, zinc like 5 cents for 10, fucking ridiculous).

I work on electronics and woodworking and Phillips are the utter worst of both of them. The thread lock in computers makes them easy to strip when unscrewing. The resistance of driving them into wood makes them guaranteed to strip when screwing. Fuck them.

To be honest, what does China have to gain? They are destroying the very “province” they seek to reunify? If they don’t claim responsibility, I don’t see how that brings them closer to claiming the island.

It would make sense if China were to use it against the US though. To stoke “America first” Republicans and make the US withdraw from geopolitical positions.

Saying the parties “switched” is a large oversimplification. But yes, as the Democrats became anti segregation, it had dissatisfied white, racist, voters in the south. Of which Republicans, were all too happy to cater to, thus the “switch”.

We are wet computers

Put your phone on airplane mode. The call will end immediately and the caller will see “call failed”

Yeah I don’t understand “but the guy is bigger” argument. If the guy is being yelled at by a taller more muscular wife, is the man being abused because he’s the weaker party? What if the guy is bigger but wife is trained by Bruce Lee or some shit. Is the guy still the victim since he’s more vulnerable? It’s just too ambiguous, and also implies all women are weaker than men, which is stupid.

In all seriousness improvised ammunition isn’t very hard and it’s doable. All you really need is primer powder and some kind of explosive. I won’t say how but both can be easily made and are pretty readily available. In the rare cases of id required, you can just start asking friends and neighbors if they have any handy.

Even in one shot the 3d printed gun will explode. The cartridge is just a container for the gun powder, not the explosion. Real guns have a chamber that contains this explosive pressure.

3d printed guns are nowhere near strong enough to contain this pressure and when the gun fires the bullet is flung harmlessly in some random direction. Since there is almost no energy imparted into the bullet it doesn’t have any power or lethality, heck the shrapnel from the casing is literally more deadly for the shooter than any bullet towards the shootee.

Heck a 3d printed gun can even fire a bullet at all. Plastic is not rigid enough to detonate the primer and set the round off. You can literally fry bullets in a cheap metal pot and when they explode they won’t even go through the pot.

The only way you could make a 3d printed gun work is by incorporating tons of other metal parts, at which point it isn’t a “3d printed gun”. Search up pipe shotguns. They can be made with a handful parts from home Depot and only require 1 or 2 tools at home (only 1 if you get them cut at home Depot). Far more effective and actually deadly, even used by guerilla forces against imperial Japan in the Philippines.

Unfortunately it can’t really be helped. Since the person is actively suicidal they will force to cop to shoot by running at then with a knife. You can’t really do anything about that on the officer’s side.

Yes it’s true that somebody can take a ton of bullets without stopping, which is why it is instructed to keep shooting until they stop. There is one officer with 132 rounds of 9mm at all times. Once he pulled over an illegally armed felon, who began shooting at him and the officer successfully shot him like 30 times. It was only until the final 3 struck him in the head that he dropped and the gunfight stopped.

Same reason they cuff “corpses”. Somebody could be playing possum or have that adrenaline fueled second wind.

People are dangerous and bullets don’t kill as fast as you think they do. Unless it’s a head, heart or spine it is not instant. Even shot in the heart you have maybe 5-10 seconds to pop off a few more shots. Many other injuries incapacitate from 5-30 minutes, which is an eternity relative to a gunfight.

Tbh you can even discuss most of that, if you disagree you’ll just be torn to shreds.
