Because even the worst of bureaucracy employees isn’t going to put “this is how [russian cybercriminals] are spending [money]” and place some absolutely weird pictures of a small and cheap house next to a pond, a small and cheap trailer being pulled in snow, a relatively nice but middle-class affordable boat in a swamp, and a family of four by a pool.

I thought ice cream (and a lot of other thing in the ads) was usually mashed potatoes.

Nobody touches my cello. The last person who did staved in the side.

It’s actually going to be great for you. When I was still more interested in eye surgeries, there was a special substance that was used on the patient to keep the eyes open. It’s still in some hospitals. What is it? Near-100% pure cocaine, baby!

You should know what category you fall into… It’s not like getting banned and going somewhere else is an event chain you wouldn’t know about.

The peroxide didn’t work for me once the wax became impacted. Maybe if I had repeated it several times in the course of a day, but it was easier to just repeat the trip to the doctor to have them get it out. Losing your hearing absolutely sucks, and I didn’t want to delay getting it back.

I don’t know, man, I think I could last an hour, maybe even two, before all the skin fell off. Even with the best lube, you’re gonna do some damage for 720 hours straight.

Those two in particular are in Beaumont, a particularly ass-backwards area of the state. One of its satellite cities, Vidor, is talked about even in Texas as being vitriolic in their racism. I’ve also been inside both of those hospitals’ emergency rooms, and wouldn’t want to be there if my life depended on it.

Heh, there was a guy in my purview yesterday whose costume was Guts. Nice recollection you’ve summoned up.

It’s much, much quicker, simpler, and easier to reach into the ear canal and gently scrape out the wax. The few times I used any fluid, it was a tiresome affair, and it never really got out all of the wax that could start to build. You would have to do it every other day to prevent real buildup, and that would be a gigantic pain.

I have the same experience, generally. It will definitely have a lot of room to wiggle around, depending on the particular gun’s characteristics, the bullet’s characteristics, and even the surrounding environment. If you read the wikipedia on it, you’ll even see a section complaining about how measured dB levels are nearly useless if the distance from the source isn’t measured. A lawn mower across the street isn’t such a big deal, but the one pushing it should have hearing protection.

units? what are those? I never use units, or pay attention to capitals. pure math ftw, baby!

It’s not. It’s just one of those things that people groan about because when you first learn it the concept is confusing. After about 15 minutes of instruction on a unit circle, it’s not a big deal at all.

It shouldn’t, barring strange laws. Most states set jurisdiction by whether an action occurred in their territory, or if it affected something inside of their territory (so prosecuting a pedophile from somewhere else who was trying to lure a child in the state prosecuting). A report from another news agency in Chicago says the state court’s judge merely put the case on hold and the federal judge has just taken the petition from musky and the counterargument from the state prosecutors, and now has asked for a response from musky; so it hasn’t actually been moved yet.

Plot twist: This guy’s a republican and it wasn’t him taking the test.

Hmm, I’m betting it all began with the replication of DNA from an RNA primer. It’s a completely logical pathway from one to the other.

Too late. The republicans love their lawsuits over elections now.

Q-tips suck at cleaning ear canals. All they do is push the damn ear wax further up inside, worsening my already bad tendency to get impacted wax in the first place. I can only imagine that people who use q-tips to clean have these cavernous canals that make family guy’s ear-sex joke actually possible.

It’s why I use those meant-for-glasses tiny screwdrivers.

I have a friend who loves that movie because it just leaves him and his wife gasping for breath between their ceaseless laughs. My personal favorite is

Congratulations on your hearing damage making things seem quiet? I’ve had somewhat fewer rounds, maybe 100k-200k, and 9mm is still deafeningly loud. I’m betting it’s because I wore hearing protection for most of it…

For god’s sakes, a simple internet search immediately shows the lack of evidence for 9mm being quiet.

Yeah, good point, gun safety is very Important. Guns aren’t toys.
