I think this should be the standard for all gun usage. You must have a licensed armorer present before anyone can handle a firearm.

Think it’s funny? The entire American Film industry has only lost three people to firearms accidents. Anybody using firearms in law enforcement, military, or even just privately should be embarrassed by their pitiful attempts at safety culture.

The paradox of being an antitheist is that you have to believe that religious ideas are uniquely powerful and dangerous. Politics, history, culture, and all context are just debris drifting in the mighty river of religion.

Warehousing a person for decades as just a vessel for the life you intend to eventually take is competitive with the brutality of any torture I’ve ever heard of.

They share a dormitory with other inmates in a prison notorious for bad conditions. By American Standards.

I love you Philip Morris this is not.

The individual explosives were probably 15 or 20 grams of material that could be disguised as part of the case, components, or battery. Plastic explosives can be molded, painted, and wired to resemble almost anything.

IDK for sure, it could be as you describe, but I doubt it because the pagers were in place for months and many of them were likely disassembled/repaired in that time.

Were do viruses fit in the “tree of life”?

If you think people are stubborn for sticking with Youtube and Reddit, just think how many people cling to the belief that customers control corporations by voting with their money.

What toppings? Are we talking fresh Moz? White sauce? This is very important.

I hope he does run: for inmate trustee of the month.

There has been a lot of coverage about how state Republican organizations have been taken over by MAGA. The result has been incompetence, mismanagement, and an alienation from the “elites” who we used to call the “donor class”.

I’m too old to be optimistic, but Trump sure looks like the leader of a loosing campaign.

Meanwhile, Putin is going to visit Twitter (formally X) to thank all the people who are helping his war effort.

Too many innocents go to jail behind false arson accusations. You never know if the building was into it at the time, but then felt ashamed later and cried arson. And then it’s just your word against the fire investigators. Just the accusation can destroy your reputation, no trial or nothing.

There is no amount of training, experience, or ability that can prevent gun accidents.

Other activities that are life/death like surgery or airline piloting use checklists because they know that training, experience, and ability are not enough. Making rules like “a gun is always loaded” or “careful where you point that thing”, are not sufficient because instead of solving human fallibility, they ignore it.

I’d go further and say that these “rules” are more mantra than procedure. A kind of protection spell that’s spoken more than it’s followed. These spells are cast in a flurry every time someone has an accident. Not to reinforce the lesson, but to reassure that we’re not going to get hurt.

Regardless of what you do, the people you love will get hurt, suffer, and die. You’re going to have to let that go, or you’ll be the one suffering. If you want to protect your loved ones, buy insurance.

Is there a way to learn this power?

This isn’t a rule. Some bureaucrat was mistaken.

The same thing happened to another girl a couple weeks ago.

Why does this article make the US sound like a battered wife in the situation? We’ll just go along and hope for the best!

This isn’t a partizan issue, just like immigration, Democrats are fucking horrible on homelessness too.

The problem with this “econ101” thinking is that it insists that the whole system runs on the choices of actors in a deterministic system.

Keanu must really believe in this stuff because we know he’s no good at pretending.
