The blood is all on the inside. That’s where it’s supposed to be right?

Halfway houses are for rehabilitation. A court allows you to live there with restrictions as opposed to locking you up. Even outside 55+ communities rentals can restrict other “tenants”. Those are vastly different scenarios, legally speaking, to restricting what the legal renter can do while simply living. As others have pointed out stay at home parents are a thing.

- Comment on Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves? 5 days ago:
She’s an attractive latina. This shouldn’t matter. The reason it does is because the right hates her for being liberal, but they hate even more that they could never have her. One thing to understand about the typical “alpha male” hyper^toxic^-masculine right wing narcissistic douche is they view themselves as hunters. They can’t or won’t acknowledge (or maybe they don’t understand) that they are in fact trophy hunters. When it comes to women, some of the biggest “trophies” are the strong, independent ones. Add in the latina flavor and top it with being liberal (that they would view as needing to be educated) and she’s one of the biggest trophies in their world. The fact that they have absolutely no chance with her pisses them off to no end. So she becomes the target of their ire. Then they try to trash her every chance they get. For this she has gotten a lot more air time and publicity than others.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 1 week ago:
Depending on your habits, it might behoove you to opt for the station breath test. They can look at more than just alcohol in blood and pop you for weed or even legally prescribed adderall.

They need more than reasonable suspicion to arrest you. The bar for arrest is probable cause.

And the principle and interest can’t change (unless you did something like an ARM). Escrow and insurance might go up, but that won’t remotely pace inflation.

When trump got convicted of 34 felonies I had an idiot Facebook “friend” foaming at the mouth over how outrageous the “witch hunt” was and a bunch of other conspiracy theory laden bullshit his handlers were feeding him. Along with my pushback on his unique brand of idiocy, I casually left an additional “and look into the special court ruling used in this case for the number of crimes being tried. Just Google Trump rule 34”.

- Comment on I read somewhere a while back that most or at least half of California wildfires are cause by faulty electrical company equipment. Is this true? And how come no one has ever reported it? 4 weeks ago:
But I’m told by some whiny ass crybabies after that Pratt prick lost that it’s the dems fault for all the wildfires.

This is an important distinction to contrast the answer you’re responding to. In fact it’s not “unrestricted capitalism”. It’s very restricted for the private consumer. So many laws, rules, and regulations working against us lowly proles we can’t use our superior numbers to truly drive a competitive market.

Mel Brooks has passed the age of 100
I feel like this could be right up his ally for humor. Someone gets sad and the person reading the paper (specifically not the obits) is confused. “They’ve passed the age. They’re 101 now.”

I feel like the types of people who are smart enough to succeed also understand it’s not a guarantee you’ll get away with it or survive. Most people want to survive.

That’s not how cults work generally. The leader is the leader because of some charismatic attribute. Most of the followers are followers because they can only follow. They don’t have the charisma to lead the cult. Watch any of his underlings when they deign to interact with people outside the cult. It’s awkward, weird, and usually leaves you feeling uncomfortable. Within the cult they might have somewhat of a commanding presence or ability to hold cultists attention, but they are useless for growing the cult. And that’s the rub. Cults die without new members, especially ones that are primarily made up of the elderly, eschew typical medical advice, and live unhealthy lifestyles.
Add on to that, trump doesn’t seem like the type to “pass the torch”. So I imagine once he goes, there will be a greedy and hateful power vacuum that rips through the republican party (especially if it’s while he’s still in office).

While the pot would suffer the brunt of the blast, that’s its purpose in this situation. It also has much more structural integrity than your squishy flesh. If the pot is destroyed, that likely means you are still alive.
A few other thoughts came to mind, something like a weighted blanket or sand bags.
Unfortunately, you’re correct that it would likely be impossible to know how long until it detonates. I don’t have any idea if you can tell that or if possible, how.

- Should be as easy as throwing a rock.
2&3. Both pressure and shrapnel are deadly. For pressure, imagine a bubble machine blowing bubbles. You could poke them and they pop. A slight breeze could pop them. This is due to a pressure difference. When an explosive creates a pressure difference, the cells of your body are like the bubbles. They pop. Pressure will have a hard time getting around solid objects. A wall or a chair might be sufficient. Shrapnel will be more difficult. If this is truly a concern, I’d suggest having a “decorative” metal pot. If you could cover the grenade with it, that could potentially nullify its effect. Put as much matter and mass between you and the explosive as possible. If you have nothing available, lay on the ground with your head furthest from the grenade and your feet pointing towards it. Basically you would want to be able to draw a straight line from the grenade through your feet and out your head. Because that’s the direction the shrapnel will take.
