@Jeff18842163 @dthayer2000 @AWRHawkins Don't want her to become my ex-wife. BTW range said it happens all the time

@Darbypathos @dthayer2000 @AWRHawkins Also pics or it didn’t happen 😏

Is a 5 shot .38 Special revolver still a viable daily carry self-defense tool?

@dthayer2000 @AWRHawkins My wife burned her cleavage with a hot ejected casing, so I'm going to disagree. Women are better off with revolvers - they generally won't drill enough to clear jams, limp wristing is a thing, and so are casings getting in hair and cleavage. Low recoil ammo is easy to find

@AWRHawkins NO. Absolutely not. And STOP giving this trash to inexperienced women who have never shot a handgun. Short barrel = heavy recoil & powder in your face. 5 rounds for a gunfight? No. Revolver with each round reloaded singly? No. 9mm, 15 rounds, extra magazine.

@AWRHawkins YES. Can hold without being threatening and shoot through pocket. Won't malfunction if pressed against bad guy. And no, no civilian ever gets in a "gunfight": One or two shots and they flee or they're neutralized. No civilian ever reloads.

@boredlawyer310 @StrixLeshay I am SO glad to see someone write this. In reality, I'm sure if you took a shot greater than 10 yards you'd be charged with murder unless the guy was running at you

@StrixLeshay It turns out just the red dot is all I need. I can get hits out to 100 yards consistently. The magnifier just makes it even easier. But, I can't imagine being able to explain how taking a shot at a distance greater than 50 yards was "self-defense."

Thought of the day. A basic style ar15 with a red dot and magnifier would serve most people just fine for their ar15 needs

@annbauerwriter @EmilyPetro22 Most of them are fine but everytime there's a mauling, it's a pit. It's not the owners, who also own shepards, rottweilers, and dobies. It's the breed

@EmilyPetro22 Just adopted my second. Have him in training 2x a week. Great dog who has not harmed anyone. No one has the right to touch him.

Leftists switched! Fifteen years ago it was liberal cities - Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis - that marched for animal rights and let pets into every cafe. But today's progressive ideology is anti-animal, promoting breed-selective euthanasia and closing down dog parks. Why?

@Robotbeat They exist, but they only come out at night and have big cuspids

@Darbypathos Not at all. It’s less than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. With billions of people, the oldest person should be like 6 standard deviations from the mean, or 170. It’s decidedly NOT Gaussian. That’s my point.

It’s actually surprising how sharp the human lifespan cutoff is. The longest verified human lifespan is less than 123 years. There aren’t any weird like 160 year outliers.

@doofypoaster @pegobry_en Sure, if the N word was in the Bible 500 times

@pegobry_en No, "gentile" is a neutral descriptor for "non-jew". Saying "goy" is not a slur is like saying The N Word is just a descriptor because it is from the Spanish word for black.

PSA: "goy" is a Hebrew word for someone who’s not Jewish; it’s descriptive and is not a slur.

@Robotbeat @naftasux It is conspiracy slop, but also true. Compare Pharmacyclics to Pharmasset. Recurring leukemia treatment vs Hep C cure. Hep C cure was worth half as much despite 50x the patient population

@naftasux This is conspiracy slop. You can charge way more upfront for a cure, and companies are usually care more about upfront than long term gains, the exact opposite of the conspiracy slop

The value of curing cancer increases a LOT if you manage to solve aging.

@zoecabina At a Baptist school!!

When Brett Ambrose isn’t harassing random Jewish people he is… *checks notes*… educating children 🫪 Absolute brain worms

@Mike_M_Klotz Probably have 1999 date codes, replace all four

Time for a debate: Yes, the screw is in a repairable location… but given the high performance nature of the vehicle, is this a repair or a replacement?

@IJMSees Her grandfather served in the Nazi army. There is literally no way she is Jewish

If you didn’t already know Mayerhofer was a Jew….

@jakandersen @cremieuxrecueil Danger goes up with mass, but with the speed squared. If something 15x heavier than you hits you at 30 mph you will die the same as if something 30x heavier hits you. Tires all are 35 psi no matter what the car weighs, so if they run over your foot they all feel the same

@Darbypathos @cremieuxrecueil Wonder whether car size also play a role. American cars are in general larger and heavier than European cars. A large car is more difficult to drive and it cause more damage when it hit someone, especially if someone comes under it.

I actually believe 'It's the phones' when it comes to smartphones and car accidents.

@Robotbeat @thepotatodude47 20% of people have anxiety disorders. You can ruin their lives with a false positive for cancer. In fact, you can kill them. Some will crash their cars, some will OD, some will hit their kids. Maybe 1% of people are even capable of understanding Bayesian analysis.

@thepotatodude47 Why does this mean that standard of care should be worse for people who CAN understand false positives easily?

Man, hearing how pessimistic doctors are about their OWN profession’s benefit in lifespan is depressing…

@Stoneybawloney @DataRepublican His neighbor Josh Kemp told police he saw Robinson holding hands and kissing Lance Twiggs. That's eye-witness evidence

@DataRepublican Not a single shred of evidence that Tyler was queer. You need to be more careful than this.

@Lefty_Kitty @Based_Rando @engineers_feed He was a 60 year old white guy

@Based_Rando @engineers_feed But he didn’t want to listen to “a bunch of 50yr old white guys.”

6 times in history, engineers said "don't do this." They were overruled. People died. [1/7]

@Based_Rando @engineers_feed CEO/Designer had an engineering degree from Princeton. So no, not everyone

@engineers_feed Don't forget Deep Ocean or whatever that little sub was called that imploded after every engineer and safety person who looked at it said, "Yeah... I wouldn't do that."

@Robotbeat Well, 500 of them would be women

Suppose there’s a $10 instant test with 0 side effects & 0 problems from false positives & reduces Prostate cancer risk by 10%. It would obviously be worth it. But if you measured the effect on the general population of this intervention with n=1000, it’d be totally lost in noise

@bobchad1896 @Arkasiraee Amazing. Simple and clever.

@Darbypathos @Arkasiraee I believe it was compressed air in a can within the torpedo (ie limited supply) and as shown in the video clip without the can.

@noam_dworman 100% with you. Amazing technique but no musicality. He is no Neal Peart or Alex Van Halen.

Seriously dude. Yes I call myself a musician. And I know dozens of musicians who would agree with me. Please, just give me the time code to a section that you find to be exceptionally musical. Or an inventive idea. Or that overcomes you with a feeling of groove. And also I wonder: If you didn't know that this guy was famous and I just played you my nephew drumming the same thing would you say oh my God I'd like a recording of that to listen to in my car? Or, would you say, impressive technique, and never think about it again.
