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

From a fictional novel, maybe a thriller or a horror, I could see it. If the nebulous they that is acting against the protagonist takes out the protagonist's side-kick, it would make sense the plan is to then come after the protagonist. If he wasn't republican, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a big reader of fiction. I would expect a man to be as deep into fictional novels as he is into couches. They make great places to read.

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 ::: spoiler spoiler when the moon is orbiting every minute or so, and despite having a gravity of 1/6 of earth's (at it's surface!) is lifting them up into the air. :::

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.

I'm betting it was the weekly delivery of flowers with 'anonymous' notes that left no doubt who was sending them if a moment's thought was used.

There's a few movies that get it mostly right. Wasn't it the entire plot of the movie 30 days of darkness? I think it was still too light in those last days depicted before darkness fell.

And if whatever sheared off the part of the spaceship/satellite changed it's momentum. If I'm on a space station, and fling something directly towards the earth, from my perspective it will fall directly towards earth for quite some time (probably out of eyesight) before the orbital movements make it behave in odd (compared to on-the-surface) ways.

True, but I was thinking the sign might be from as far back as the microwave one.

Bunker gear is the typical 'fire-proof' gear you see firefighters in when they might go into a burning building. Big, bulky, heavy, and often made of asbestos.

I've made an exception once or twice for a logo that actually looks good. I think that is, considering how many pieces of clothing I've seen and not chosen, something like a one-in-a-million chance.

It's a little hard to pick up, but it's all about one rule: Everything has to be on one side of the page.

One of those throwaway lines that still make me grin.

The obligation to treat patients who are in need in an emergency setting IS a legal obligation in the US. If a patient is refused treatment at an emergency room, both the doctor and hospital can get gigantic fines. I don't remember the max off hand, but it's somewhere along the lines of $50,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. The law in question is EMTALA, or the emergency medical treatment and active labor act. A patient must receive stabilizing treatment, or be stabilized to the best of the hospital's ability and transferred to appropriate care.

Having been involved in a conversation about this sort of family dynamic with police, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless OP is in a gigantic city, he is not going to receive any help from the police that actually protects him. What will happen is the police will listen to his story, then go talk to the other parties involved to get their story.

If an officer believes him right off the bat, they can/may hold off on talking to the rest of the family and tipping them off that OP is making these claims, but even in that case OP still may be stuck in the house. They might be able to connect him to a shelter. Might. The problem is that he is male. Male domestic violence shelters are almost certainly going to be a shit-show at best, and 95% chance there isn't a shelter for males of domestic violence within any distance that the cops would help him get to.

The best bet for OP that involves cops is to follow Chonk's advice: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/3089471/5115602

Use the cops for what they are actually good at: protecting you in the exact moment they are there. Anything else is going to be a time-consuming investigation, unless the brother/father literally admit to planning to kill OP.

I mean, I agree that it looks pretty normal. Maybe if it grows considerably more when he's aroused, it would be in the above average range, but that's well below most of what you see in porn.

ah, thanks. I edited yours into the comment now.

Plenty of salad dressings are just hopped up vinegars anyway.

If it helps, it's because it is a really, really bad situation if the person's pilot chute is unsecured inside of the plane. The pilot chute is a small chute that drags out your main parachute, and if it goes out the door it can be a terrible day for everyone involved. If it goes over the plane's tail it can damage the control surface, ruining the pilot's control; it can drag the skydiver out of the plane in an uncontrolled manner, leading to injury by hitting surfaces of the plane and possibly being entangled in the various lines; and the person can injure or cause more mayhem with the others still on the plane.

If the pilot chute isn't securely tucked away in the plane, courtesy is to stomp on it and everyone works to restow it where it belongs, but if it is near the door or already being sucked out the door? We all agree that the safest thing is to get that person out of the plane as fast as possible.
