  1. They sue people who beat them up.
  2. I wonder what was his prohibition on owning a gun. Who thinks "the voices told him to do it"?
  3. Bodyshops have a staple gun that reinforces plastics from behind. Designed for bumpers. The staple is a curved zig-zag sha0e and it heated up with a special heat gun, then pressed into the bumper from behind. It melts itself halfway into the bumper, then the staple is left to cool. You wind up with the zig-zag metal melted itnot her platic, reinforcing it. Found a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXeacki20Qc
  4. Digital antenna and TV with a digital tuner. Plugs in just like a regular antenna into a coax connector. If your TV does not have a digital tuner then you will need a converter.
  5. I like most eurodance but not a huge fan of this.
  6. NSFL... Not safe for life. Remind me never to take URLs from gen3flygirl... That's some inhuman stuff right there.
  7. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2012/02/27/columbus-criminals-hiding-drugs-in-secret-compartments.html This is ridiculous. I've been trying to find a good discreet pistol safe for my car. I was thinking of installing it flush in a kick panel because I have space there. Weuld that be a felony now? I installed a screen in my dashboard. If i unclip the bezel there's a big space back there, like big enough for a double-DIN head unit. Guess that makes me a felon. People hide drugs in their underpants. Are we going to make it a felony to have boxer shorts?? Jail time for y-fronts? Electric Chair for tighty-whities?
  8. Black eyes and other visible injuries might have a certain 'cool' factor around those who get them and understand them (martial arts, roller derby, ice hockey etc). But regular folks who don't do anything that can get them hurt will let their imaginations go wild. I currently have torn-open knuckles from bagwork on thursday. I got a black eye from Kumite the week after starting at a new job (senior IT position at a non-profit!) and got all kinda of weird looks and questions. A few years back I was at work and taken aside by someone from HR. She was asking me if everything was OK at home and if I needed help with anything, and that here's a number I can call if I ever feel like hurting myself. I was like; "Why are you asking me this?" Someone had reported "slash marks on his wrist" - that were actually just scratches I had picked up while working on my car the night before (sharp edge of a heat shield I was reaching behind, as I recall)
  9. WhyTF would you complain about someone posting lots of funny pictures in the funny pictures thread? Seems I'm not the only one who thinks you're a couple spokes short of a wheel.
  10. How pissed must you be? Anyone here do tats or know about how they address that? Does the artist freehand that stuff or do they agree on a design on like wax paper or something and then transfer the design to the skin?
  11. Seriously. If God didn't want us to eat pigs then why did he make them out of bacon?
  12. Or you'd feel guilty. Conscience = The little angel on your shoulder telling you to do good things. Conscious = Awake Lose consciousness = to become unaware of, and non-responsive to, your surroundings. Lose conscience = Lose your moral compass
  13. Tasers interrupt voluntary muscle control. Someone who is taser will not lose consciousness as a result of the taser itself, and will not be able to reach out to break their fall. Seems to me that your objections are based largely on a lack of knowledge of how tasers work. Would there be the same controversy if the taser was painless?
  14. Yup. If you have a good puke story then throw it up here.
  15. You missed the point by a mile. It is supposed to point out that you recover from a taser in seconds unless there is a freak accident. A baton blow usually results in bruises and ongoing pain and often results in the need for medical treatment and recovery after the fact. This is not about two people literally facing off taser vs baton.
  16. Me, and only me. Nobody else does. Manufacturers of prune flavor baby food exist only to serve my needs.
  17. CEO/founder was a buddy out of work not just in work. Good contacts, good networking. Have gotten a couple jobs from the contacts made there, and a network of references for other jobs. Many times I've heard; "We interviewed a few people we liked, but John Smith is our director and he spoke very highly of you..."
  18. That blows (chunks). One time I took my son (about 2.5yo) to my old company where I used to be IT manager. I was laid off but they sometimes called me back in for little things. I was good buddies with the founder of the company so I did these little fixes here and there for free. An hour one month, a couple hours next month kind of thing. This time I was diagnosing a bank of phones that went bad. I was standing in the wiring room telling them they needed a new DLI card. I had my son on my hip... Then he puked. Projectile. I mean massively projectile, like the Iranians could only dream of emulating that kind of weapons delivery range. He was possessed. I mean like the bitch from Exorcist would take one look at this and say; "I 'm f*cking outta here, that kid's crazy." All over the patch panel. The wires, switches, F5s, both t1 routers, cisco gear, rackmount UPS... the lot - all soaked in puke. I tried to clean it up but he was still being sick so I have to take him to the bathroom to finish puking. When I got back they had closed the door to the wiring room and they told me that they "have it covered from here, thanks for the help". Never asked me back. Ever.
  19. She was running towards a busy road, high on drugs and desperate to escape. If she made it into the road she would likely cause a crash. All bets off now? It's not a game. The officer is under no obligation to give her a sporting chance. She was under arrest and ran away, faster than the officer. He stopped her using a level of force that would have been a non-event except for the freak accident. EDIT: If they could invent a painless taser then that would be much better.
  20. And I bet that car still smells of prune puke. Or was burned.
