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

I mean, #1, yes, but #2? Eeeeeeh…

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.

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 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.

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

Q-tips suck at cleaning ear canals. All they do is push the damn ear wax further up inside, worsening my already bad tendency to get impacted wax in the first place. I can only imagine that people who use q-tips to clean have these cavernous canals that make family guy’s ear-sex joke actually possible.

It’s why I use those meant-for-glasses tiny screwdrivers.

I have a friend who loves that movie because it just leaves him and his wife gasping for breath between their ceaseless laughs. My personal favorite is

Congratulations on your hearing damage making things seem quiet? I’ve had somewhat fewer rounds, maybe 100k-200k, and 9mm is still deafeningly loud. I’m betting it’s because I wore hearing protection for most of it…

For god’s sakes, a simple internet search immediately shows the lack of evidence for 9mm being quiet.

Yeah, good point, gun safety is very Important. Guns aren’t toys.

I’m betting it was the weekly delivery of flowers with ‘anonymous’ notes that left no doubt who was sending them if a moment’s thought was used.

There’s a few movies that get it mostly right. Wasn’t it the entire plot of the movie 30 days of darkness? I think it was still too light in those last days depicted before darkness fell.

And if whatever sheared off the part of the spaceship/satellite changed it’s momentum. If I’m on a space station, and fling something directly towards the earth, from my perspective it will fall directly towards earth for quite some time (probably out of eyesight) before the orbital movements make it behave in odd (compared to on-the-surface) ways.

It also means I can just flip my front visor down and not worry about stinking goggles.

I mean, I agree that it looks pretty normal. Maybe if it grows considerably more when he’s aroused, it would be in the above average range, but that’s well below most of what you see in porn.

ah, thanks. I edited yours into the comment now.

Plenty of salad dressings are just hopped up vinegars anyway.

If it helps, it’s because it is a really, really bad situation if the person’s pilot chute is unsecured inside of the plane. The pilot chute is a small chute that drags out your main parachute, and if it goes out the door it can be a terrible day for everyone involved. If it goes over the plane’s tail it can damage the control surface, ruining the pilot’s control; it can drag the skydiver out of the plane in an uncontrolled manner, leading to injury by hitting surfaces of the plane and possibly being entangled in the various lines; and the person can injure or cause more mayhem with the others still on the plane.

If the pilot chute isn’t securely tucked away in the plane, courtesy is to stomp on it and everyone works to restow it where it belongs, but if it is near the door or already being sucked out the door? We all agree that the safest thing is to get that person out of the plane as fast as possible.

I’ve been waiting for the day I get to push someone from the plane. Everyone always talks about it, and hopes it doesn’t happen to them, but we all secretly want to have the experience of applying our foot to someone else’s ass at altitude.

Keep your pilot chute stowed, lads.
