Trump is gonna triple-down on the Palestinian genocide and pull all support from Ukraine and probably pull out of NATO to let Putin do whatever he wants to Europe.

He’s also promised violence against Americans who oppose him.

I swear to God swearing makes it work better. I think they may legitimately have swearing filters to gauge customer frustration.

The only thing I hate about it is that it made the writers think they were good at doing musical numbers, and in the following seasons, they did a bunch of really, really bad songs.

If people insist on DDT I aquiesce.

No. Fuck them. If I’m get a Spring Forward I’m owed a goddamned Fall Back. I spend half a year with an hour’s deficit so people going home to watch Netflix after work can pretend they give a damn about an extra hour of sunlight.

Give me Standard Time or pay to move my ass to the West a couple hundred miles to fix it.

Tony Stark first appeared in Marvel comics 8 years before Musk was born.

Those “smaller rounds” were extremely hot 5.56 rounds - an upgraded version of the rounds the guy above me is saying fires through brick walls and cracks ribs if it hits armor.

And why is a school doing a nativity.

I’m Christian and have taken part in dozens of nativity, but none at school.

Mind you, this is what people wear going into combat. It’s for military, SWAT, etc.

An everyday police vest wouldn’t take that kind of beating.

In modern body about it’s spread over the area of the entire 8lb plate, which is way, way more area then the butt of the rifle.

He moves out thigh, and it’s Rachel and Joey living there for a while

Maybe on a plate from 1965 that is just a sheet of steel inside cloth. Modern ceramic plates spread the energy of the impact.

Here’s a video of a Level IV plate taking a 30.06 AP round followed by like 6 5.56 AP rounds and a 7.62x54R AP round so powerful it jammed the rifle.

There’s no significant plate bulge even after all of that.

And the one across the hall with the unemployed actor and the waitress?

That last part is bullshit. If the force distributed across the plate were enough to break bones, then firing the rifle would dislocate the shoulder of the shooter.

Did you not read the part where I said the incentive requires them to vote?

We shouldn’t specifically have Election Day off work. Everyone should get one paid day off in the period of early voting or election day. It’ll prevent the hours-long wait times at the polls on election day and allow businesses to stay in operation by spreading out the time when workers are off to vote.

I’d prefer it even more if the money for the vacation time were paid by the government, but only of the person actually votes. Otherwise, you’ll just find a bunch of cruise specials around election season meant to capitalize on the extra vacation time, and voter turnout won’t be significantly impacted.

You divided by 2 instead of 2000 on your pounds/tons conversion.

Same for lots of jobs here.

Honestly, Wednesday and Thursday are the worst days for Christmas for those of us who also get Christmas Eve because they’re the only days that don’t result in 4 days in a row off from work.

If it’s on a Friday, we get Thursday through Saturday. If it’s on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, they give us Friday through Monday, and if it’s on a Tuesday, they give us Saturday through Tuesday.

But this year, we’re off Saturday and Sunday, work Monday, are off Tuesday and Wednesday, and return to work on Thursday.

It’s the same total number of days off, but it’s way less useful - especially if travel is involved.

The film?

As much as I enjoy shitting on McDonald’s, I don’t think McDonald’s corporate had anything to do with this. I’m pretty sure this was a franchise.

That being said, McDonald’s may need to revisit some of the restrictions in their franchise agreements with regard to direct participation in political campaigns. A candidate visiting a location is one thing, but this restaurant directly arranged and participated in this nonsense.

If it doesn’t do it on its own, one of 2 things will happen:

1. They get bought out, which almost always results in a bump.
2. The government bails them out, which is an even bigger bump.
