I’m not American,
Then your opinion is irrelevant.

Problem is, gun are useful. They protect our children. They protect our food supply.
And people have been killing each other for centuries before guns were invented. Thinking that guns enable death is clearly propaganda. But you all know that. I’m just here to point out what actual reality looks like. Since none of you have ever touched grass.

The anti-gun propaganda isn’t even clever. It’s completely transparent that it’s not about safety at all.

That’s why you should only ask interviewees empirical questions that can identify whether or not they have the requisite knowledge to do the job.

Schools used to have shooting ranges built into them. And school shootings weren’t a problem. Kids are more than capable of being responsible around firearms.
The only reason you’re gunphobic is because you’ve been brainwashed.

and attack anyone who goes through the door with whatever you can throw
Gee, it’s almost like having a deadly weapon that can be wielded by almost anyone, and would do an excellent job at protecting those children, would be a good idea.
Naw, let the children fight off bullets with books and paperweights. Life’s a bitch - no sense in coddling them.

20 gallons a year isn’t much at all.
“Man reasonably consumes cheese” isn’t as catchy I suppose.

The ‘water’ is the ‘contamination’.

You’re worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?
Better drink bleach to take of the germs internally too just to be safe.

I think they are for checkout convenience. That’s why they’re so thin, don’t mess up the weight.

That’s how you build natural immunity.
You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.
You’d think germ theory hasn’t been discovered since fucking 1762.

And you’d be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.
Check out the stupid mistakes that were made with OceanGate - engineering.com/…/potential-structural-reasons-fo…
"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”
There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.

Published science requires peer review. Big difference.
“good for the community” isn’t relevant to being science.
- Comment on Finish him. 🪓 4 weeks ago:
Science, real science like Elon is describing, happens when you write stuff down. “Published science” is where the glamor is but that’s, quite obviously, not what Elon was talking about.
So sad to see bitter people lash out at the successful. (projection is also a classic trait)

If you remain perfectly still, you’ll stop sinking at your waist
I’m not sure you understand buoyancy. Floating objects float, they don’t sink no matter how much thrashing about. And while quicksand is denser than water, it’s still not dense enough to float a human at their waist, it’s actually around their chest.
Nobody dies from drowning in quicksand. Ever. It’s always dehydration/fatigue.
- Comment on Piranhas 5 weeks ago:
Nope. Sand+water is less buoyant than you. You float. Death comes from dehydration or exhaustion. Not from drowning.
- Comment on Ball's in your court, Mikey. 5 weeks ago:
Definitely, I’m assuming you drink that hot and hot drinks don’t generate condensation. All you need is a heat barrier and ceramic is great for that no matter what kind of finish it has.

It’s not artifacting, it’s a watermark.
- Comment on Ball's in your court, Mikey. 5 weeks ago:
It’s environment dependent. I could use them in the winter when it’s not very warm or humid.
But in the summer with the windows open a glass of ice water has a ton of condensation around it like the glass is leaking almost. Went through almost all types, plain plastic squares, then to cork, then to stone and finally the felt which actually work.
- Comment on Ball's in your court, Mikey. 5 weeks ago:
stone/non-glazed ceramic works ok because it’s porous and absorbs the condensation. These look like glazed ceramic which won’t work well. In high humidity environments there’s so much water the coaster will start to stick to the glass or it’ll spill off onto the surface you are trying to protect, it’s just not ideal.
Best coasters I’ve found are rubber with a felt/fabric insert. They never move or stick to the glass and the felt has enough surface area to evaporate the water.

Proper keming would fix that.

Those contracts are predetermined anyway. It’s all part of the scam of for-profit prisons.
- Comment on Beans 1 month ago:
We now use the scientific method to argue ideas, but in the past ideas could just be laughed at if people thought they sounded dumb.
Used to before the whole covid scam anyway. Now it’s “trust the science” which of course is an oxymoron. The whole point of science is that we don’t trust it, we verify it. And that wasn’t allowed.
- Comment on "Yeah, yeah, I totally know what a lion looks like, just give me the brush" 1 month ago:
It’s supposed to be, dude is pulling a thorn or something out of it’s paw.
One day toward evening, when he was seated with the brethren to hear the sacred lessons read, a lion suddenly limped into the monastery. The other monks fled at the sight of the beast, but Jerome greeted him as a guest. The lion showed him his wounded foot, and Jerome called the brothers and ordered them to wash the animal’s feet and to dress the wound carefully. When they set about doing this, they found that the paw had been scratched and torn by thorns. They did what was necessary, and the lion recovered, lost all his wildness, and lived among the monks like a house pet.

That’s not true, that’s simply what they want you to believe.
They know what they’re doing, they know it’s not in our interest, they play dumb and the uniparty marches on.
