  Eh, it’s also a bit of a teaching opportunity with kids. A decent parent will teach kids which things are okay to hit and which ones aren’t, and this is something that can help with that. Someone’s probably going to get hit once or twice yeah. But kids also get mad when they can’t stick forks in outlets. I don’t see this toy being any worse than a sword or gun toy.

  Yeah but physical activity will make you feel better. That’s not why we’re here man get with it.

  Just want to add, in the US you’d don’t have to register to vote each election/vote, just when you change address.

  Technically they don’t gain money no, but they get:

  1. To move or dispose of product, making sales look better
  2. Free marketing, both in people having the drinks and to say "look we did a charity"
  3. To pay their taxes with effectively free money, because they take the product that they made for pennies, and count it as a “donation” at full price. Meaning that all the “profit” they would have made on markup goes straight to paying the taxes instead of making the money and paying taxes on the money they already made.

  It’s why a company donating their product is always better for them than a regular person donating cash. They are effectively still making money it’s just this time they are making money specifically to pay off their taxes.

  In universe I want to guess they added pressure to the back side of the system to balance out the water vs air pressure since it’s part of the training system. That said, it was probably just movie magic bs.

  Linen cloth, time to start making bandages again.

  In my experience it depends on the bar. I have a local that I like that is very laid back and relaxed bar scene, you still get some rowdy groups, but it’s not like fighting for the bartenders attention or blasting music. Perfectly easy to go in alone or with friends, sit down and shoot the shit for a few hours. Doesn’t really matter what’s in your glass.

  Pretty sure you’d have to be “too old” to remember filthy frank (or pink guy) from the early YouTube days. All that happened was he started making music under the name joji
