Many/most guns don't have a safety. It carried, they should be in a holster that covers the trigger. When you draw it, it's ready to fire.

JillyB ,

Are those the only 2 options?

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are currently exchanging diss tracks

JillyB ,

He's got some really good music. No doubt that Kendrick is the more "deep" of the 2.

JillyB ,

They are currently exchanging diss tracks. This will likely be one of the biggest beefs in hip hop.

I used to binge growling sidewinder videos. I bought a HOTAS that I haven't even opened because of those videos.

This was part of an overall package including aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.

They claimed that the government was focusing on this one issue when really it was a small part of a much larger legislation. Whether it's good or bad is a separate judgement.

Personally, I just find it really disappointing. This Tik Tok issue could have been an opportunity to improve privacy and reduce data collection across the board. Instead, it's a surgical strike in order to not disrupt American tech companies doing the same thing.

What will happen is that Bytedance will sell the US Tik Tok to an American VC firm and it will continue data hoarding as before. This time, the US government will be getting the data instead of the CCP. I'd rather nobody got it.

This happens to me if I have my VPN on from my phone app.

In college, we used to go to the top of parking garages to smoke weed at night. This kinda looks like a parking garage.

I'm not vegan, nor am I opposed to leather goods, but this doesn't make sense. You're assuming that leather is strictly a byproduct of the meat industry and given for free to leather suppliers. In reality, they sell the hides. In effect, leather subsidizes meat products by providing the meat industry with extra revenue.

JillyB ,

Wait. I thought triple C's was something else. I think it stands for cough, congestion, cold...? I remember taking a blister pack of 8 pills to get high back in the day. Was that off-brand benadryl?

JillyB ,

That sounds right. I remember suppressing nausea and then having an extremely dissociative high for hours and being unable to sleep.

When I worked in a factory, all the old country maintenance guys and techs were on tik Tok during their breaks.

JillyB ,

This is where I disagree. I think a transparent, publicly run system to triangulate gunshots is actually a great idea. As long as the microphones are placed evenly throughout a city, they can instantly let police know where and when a gunshot happened.

However, with no way to publicly verify the fairness of the a private system, there's only one way this could go.

What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

Grocery stores aren't open at night. Also, it's usually a lot faster to get stuff from a convenience store than a grocery store. If all you need is some snacks or toilet paper, it's nice to have a way to quickly get that done.

JillyB ,

Conspiracy nonsense. The alternative is everyone having having government drivers licenses and publicly displayed identifying license plates. My feet, bike, and transit passes don't require any id.

JillyB ,

I used to live in South Carolina and recently moved to Chicago. Despite there being many more police in Chicago, I've actually had less of a feeling of police anxiety because I don't drive here. The cops are on the roads pulling cars over. They aren't in alleys and side streets following pedestrians (at the same rates, anyways). If walking and cycling are normal and built for, police are less of a problem, imo.

    Not for smash

    No. Japanese doesn't have accented syllables. It's all pronounced at a steady tone or with emphasis placed where it makes sense in context.

    JillyB ,

    It sure is...

    My mom never uses pepper because it's too spicy

    JillyB ,

    If everyone is on a list, how valuable is the list?

    JillyB ,

    If I actually am taking hostages, I'm not using specialty, expensive tape. I'm just using duct tape. I think the name is just spicy branding.

    JillyB ,

    Oh shit. Didn't think of that. Good point.

    JillyB ,

    You have to take a very cursory glance to not find differences between Street Fighter 5 and 6. The gameplay systems are very different, 6 has an actually good single player mode, the net code is vastly improved. If you're just looking at the graphics, you're doing the same thing this post is criticizing but for the opposite goal. Street Fighter 6 is one of the AAA home runs, especially when you consider the disasterous launch of SF5.

    JillyB ,

    Do you even like video games? Judging by your comments in this thread, they make you angry and bitter, so I don't know why you bother to post about them.

    JillyB ,

    Street Fighter 1 was from 1987. Street Fighter 5 is from 2016. This is hardly a yearly franchise. Each release is a cornerstone of the fighting game genre. If you don't like them or are uninterested, that's obviously fine. But you're using your ignorance to justify hating Street Fighter. That just doesn't make sense and makes you come across as bitter. I would urge you to play the games you like, and ignore the games you don't like. You'll be generally happier.

    JillyB ,

    That wasn't the past couple days because Chicago has been cold as fuck and that would be frozen.

    I heard the three basic rules from somewhere:

    1. Always use the right tool for the job
    2. A hammer is always the right tool
    3. Every tool is a hammer
