This one stands up to Hanlon's Razor in my opinion, though. It's purely because they didn't even stop to think about it.
Anyone know the current status of the short act and hearing protection act?

That's only at the state level though. I suspect that if the HPA and SHORT act pass as riders on the BBB, Texas law will turn into a de facto ban again, since nobody at the federal level will accept fingerprints, register it, or accept a $200 tax.

Pretty sure it’s working its way through the bullshit to come to a full senate vote. I’ve heard the Senate parliamentarian is recommending a ton of stuff be cut, but the parliamentarian has no actual power and can be single-vote vetoed by JD Vance.

Ah yes, America, commonly known for being slightly closer to Iran than Turkey is…

So what? We were supposed to let them nuke Israel, Europe and America, like they've been threatening too?
Lmao you didn't need to spam my inbox with multiple anons. Anyway Iran has been "a couple weeks away from completing a nuke" since before I was born. Our government and our media has been lying to us about the credibility of threats X, Y, and Z countries really are since the end of WWII. It's been used to justify unending wars and interfering with foreign elections. longer than most of the US population has been alive and the warmongers who lie are never held accountable.
If Harris had won the election we'd be bombing Iran anyway but half the MAGAtards would agree with me that the motives are bullshit since their guy isn't the one dropping the bombs.
But the threat is totally real this time guys. Israel said so and they'd never lie to us!

Okay I was close, it’s not Some Guy, it’s Dillon Aero. They make the miniguns, and their sister company, Dillon Precision, makes ammo reloading machines.

I’m fairly certain this is just Some Dude who has an SOT and built this in his garage. The drone and backdrop look like the Big Sandy machine gun shoot. There’s a guy there every year who brings RC airplanes made of corrugated plastic for the machine guns to shoot down.

It was more mechanical, as I remember. The game ran like shit, looked like ass, and had every video game trope from the 15 years it was in development crammed into it. The one that comes to mind was a prolonged rail shooter segment that nobody liked.

In fairness Gearbox didn’t do anything to Duke. They polished off the turd they were given and released it. They knew it was bad but it needed to be released so it could just die already.
That said we all know what Adi Shankar does to beloved franchises.

The newer the car, the bigger the blind spots. The NHTSA rollover safety standards made it so now the roof of a car has to be able to hold the weight of the entire chassis if it rolls upside-down, and this tripled the size of all the roof pillars, creating massive blind spots that can hide SUVs, even in the smallest cars.
Taking a left turn in my car is harrowing because of the massive blind spots created by my A-pillar and the airbag within.
Can we ever please be realistic about who's usually actually at fault for accidents involving motorcycles?

Expect a sternly-worded letter from the desk of Holden Bloodfeast in the next 3-5 business days.
The bombs dropped on Fordow did nothing. So much for the MOP.

The smart move would be to bomb the entrances. Once they’ve expended the thousands of man-hours to dig out the entrances and get personnel and supplies back in to start the cleanup, do it again.

I’ve seen enough pigeon nests to know that’s true.
A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"
"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.
"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

Bonus points if you tell him on Friday that he has none last chance and when he processes that and goes “what” then you fire him.
Idk if I told yall but my company put me on as lead on a new hotel construction job. They gave me a helper and a temp truck. My helper isn’t going to make it. He’s been with us for 2.5 years and he’s just lazy. They put him with me to try and give him one last shot but I have no time for lazy people on a construction job. I hate being mean to people I don’t feel any hate towards. I don’t feel hate towards this guy.
I feel bad actually but at the same time I just don’t have the energy nor the patience to hold another man’s hand on a construction job. When I started I didn’t know shit but I at least asked questions and did my best to keep up. He just doesn’t care. Idk he has until Friday but I believe he’s not gonna make it. If he was 18 and never held a job before id cut him some slack. Other people have tried talking to him but to no avail.

I’m still trying to decide if this counts as armed robbery or a strongarm robbery.
