The ladder is kinda plush for her. Normally she hangs out on the power cable for the camera…

Selene enjoying her new ladder and getting a good look at her UVB bulb.

Fuck it. 120k for the household is barely enough for two working adults I have no idea how people with kids afford anything.

Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.

Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.

Yeah, I was like damn, is today a real good day?

Plenty of videos of people asking trump supporters and good christians at pro-life rallies to sign petitions to guarantee free lunches and childcare for every kid… With predictable results from the people attending.

They do actually, but only if that child gets an abortion.

We literally had the guy saying “This is classified, I shouldn’t have this and I could get in trouble for it and I shouldn’t be showing it to you” to someone at MaL during Biden’a term. It doesn’t get more dead to rights than that, and he still walked because some little queen judge that he appointed was like “lol, special prosecutors are illegal.”

Depends on what the goal is. Making flying safer? Marginal at best. Making people feel safer flying though…

All you need is a lithium laptop battery, pierce it, and you’ll have an unquenchable 2000°C fire very quickly.

That won’t do it. Thanks to an accident back in the 90’s (I think) when an entire cargo container full of laptop batteries burned up in the cargo hold, airplanes are built to resist these kinds of attacks now. There are also limits already on the size of batteries that you can bring on a flight, specifically to prevent someone from collecting a bunch of them and starting a fire. When planes crashes from a cargo fire, it’s typically because the crew is unconscious or disoriented and unable to fly the airplane, despite it still being capable of flight.

TL:DR - the passengers can’t bring enough batteries on a plane to take it down.

I suck at dancing, and I am envious of the wonderful accessories women “get” to wear.

On the flip side, I can fit a whole phone in my pocket and I’m stupid strong (for a sedentary desk jockey). So I can’t really say that I’m struggling over here.

Props for having the chessboard setup correctly. That is something most movies can’t even manage with hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consulting.

Well done. No notes.

If I was carrying and there was an active shooter, I sure as hell would run or hide before fighting.

You don’t know who the active shooter actually is. Maybe the guy you saw with a gun is a plainclothes or off duty cop who is responding to the actual active shooter. Maybe there is more than one shooter, and confronting the one you see makes you a target for the one you don’t. Maybe the cops find you after shooting the active shooter, and assume you are the perpetrator.

For clarification, I don’t carry a gun, I just used myself as an example to simplify the text.

I had to quit League of Legends for Linux Mint. Among my gaming friends it’s gone from a bit of a joke to being a selling point.

A buddy of mine wanted to install Linux Mint on his desktop, but didn’t have a USB drive to put the installer on (Gen-Z I swear). I offered to have one delivered from a local retailer, but it became a “bit” that I didn’t care enought to send him a pre-configured drive.

Anyway I loaded up Nyarch on a USB drive and mailed it to him. Also advised him not to install software from a USB drive sent through the mail, even if it is from someone he knows and “trusts.”

A gun doesn’t stop you from getting shot, it just gives you a chance to shoot back.

Yes, I know you were being sarcastic.

I get the point the comic is trying to make, but saying that more guns means more people die from guns isn’t really a “gotcha”… In places with fewer guns, fewer people are using guns to do their murderings.

I’d be more interested in a graph that shows total murders per capita compared to gun ownership per capita.

Before I get dog-piled, I’d like to add that I know that there are too many guns in the US, and the process to buy a firearm is surprisingly lax. I do think there is a relationship between gun ownership and the murder rates, and the fact that most school shootings don’t even make the news anymore (and if they do, it’s for less than a day) indicates that the frogs have been completely boiled at this point.

Long story short, logistics benefits from scale. The cost to ship a pallet of poptarts to a store is roughly the same as shipping half a pallet. Smaller stores can’t really undercut larger corporations because they don’t have the scale.

Also when your mom and pop store doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they go under. When a Walmart doesn’t make a profit for 3 months, they stay open because they have those loses spread across hundreds of other Walmarts.

This is the way. With enough cancelations, the payment processor will either raise their rates, or drop service with the company all together.

Mexico is alright. Never worried about getting stabbed there.

However, I did have to go through a federales checkpoint, and it was pretty sketchy having a few guys with submachine guns checking the car out for a few minutes.
