Guns are expensive, bullets are expensive, training with bullets enough to know you won’t miss a moving ice bucket is expensive.

Dealing with the subsequent court case, even if the shooter was legally in the right, would also be expensive. That’s if they survive shooting at “law enforcement”, of course

I should add more x’s to my name lol

This town is 40mi south of the Canadian border, and you will hear people speaking other languages in public as long as you aren’t in one of the racist bars. Unfortunately, I lived there for a while, and the CBP are constantly waddling into gas stations and shops hoping to relive the glory of making international headlines. (they just arrested someone from the UK, so that strategy must be working)

Wait, do they keep reusing the same username? Because I feel like I’ve been playing wack-a-mole blocking a certain user, and it makes a lot of sense that they’d just be creating new accounts constantly

Teflon and certain ceramic non-stick pans can’t handle the heat needed to sear a steak. You can look up the heat range of your pans, but generally if it isn’t cast iron or steel, it’s going to warp or degrade the coating. That means they won’t last as long.

On the other hand I’ve never had to toss a cast iron pan. Sometimes I’ve needed to scrape off seasoning and redo it, and it’s rare to ruin a cast iron pan to the point it can’t be redeemed. But I’ve just bought my first carbon steel wok because it’s much lighter than cast iron

What is your process for smoking cheese, do you use a large smoker or one of those compact ones? Also, have you found a wood you prefer for it?

The VA offers therapy in a few different formats. I bring this up as a disabled veteran myself, sometimes its just really nice to talk to another veteran who has been through the same thing and hear their perspective.

You have wonderful friends and I’m glad you have their support! But I also know from personal experience how difficult it is to upgrade a disability rating, so I really encourage you to ask your local cboc or VA facility to get you in touch with a peer support. They can even go along with you to the c&p exam to make sure you are heard, and help you talk about the things that are in those letters.

I now have 100% for PTSD, and if that’s what you’re trying to increase for, I can definitely say it’s a more difficult exam than the first one was

Assuming Lemmy is still around by then, the front page will have a cat on it.

All but one of the authors of this paper are dead. I agree with you though, and I would hope a retraction of a paper as serious as this would trigger a review of all the papers connected to the authors.

Be the change you want to see! Lemmy loves specific animal communities! Bats and superbowl come to mind

This is why nerf darts are strictly banned from my home. It’s like they multiply after the first one is lost under a couch cushion

TIL Kate Beckinsale’s daughter is dating Robin

Lol! I had it replaced two months ago. Of course now I’m wondering if Safelite runs Black Friday sales

I used to avoid driving at certain times of day because I thought my astigmatism was making it too difficult to see. Turns out it was my windshield! Cost about $400 to to replace

My 16 year old is fiending for food and making an enormous mess everywhere in her search for food. She’s healthy, just seems to be doing the opposite of what old cats do.

My dog is very upset that she can’t keep the cat calm.

I’ve just put lick mats out for both of them, hopefully they’ll settle in for afternoon naps afterwards lol

I knew someone that imported a pristine 90s Skyline from Japan to the east coast of the US. In less than a year he flooded the engine. No, not the way you are thinking! I mean he drove through a deep puddle after a hurricane and hydrolocked the engine.

I have extremely sensitive skin, but aluminum antiperspirant has been fine on it. I really get into trouble with aluminum-free brands, especially if they have baking soda in them. I have to say contact dermatitis in the armpit is a unique method of accidental self-torture.

I think you mean Jainism? It isn’t Hindu.

They also have a very strict vegetarian diet, they won’t even eat root vegetables so burrowing insects aren’t disturbed
