  • Well, puns are the quintessential dad crime.

  • From this report:

    • Approximately 30 million children are living in homes with firearms as of 2021.
    • There were 1262 unintentional firearm injury deaths among children under the age of 17 across 18 years. Apparently, there were 122,447 such deaths by all means including firearms in the same age group and time period. So, the firearm deaths being considered account for 1.010%.
    • Only 34 of these deaths were found to have occurred if the weapon was stored locked somehow. That's 2.694% of the firearm deaths or 0.028% of the total.
    • Only 28 of these deaths were found to have occurred if the weapon was stored unloaded. That's 2.219% of the firearm deaths or 0.023% of the total.
    • The report emphasizes that firearms should be stored locked and unloaded, but does not provide a number of deaths for that particular condition.

    Given the context that there are a lot of children living in homes with firearms and that there are a lot of unintentional injury death of any type among children, the findings suggest that Americans are doing a good job storing their firearms, even if many children live in homes where firearms are stored loaded and unlocked.

  • Perhaps I'm ashamed to admit that there's no crime in asking.

  • Do the cameras just connect to a switch with PoE?

  • Around here in New Jersey, yes. People typically replace their doorbell switches with camera devices from Google or Amazon. People even set them up at their apartment doors. Dedicated NVR systems are also commonly installed in houses. In my case, I am not especially concerned about break-ins. Break-ins are rare in my neighborhood and I don't think a camera system would do much to prevent one anyway. There have just been some nuisances over the past year including my bird feeder camera getting swiped and someone repeatedly letting their dog poop right next to my house without cleaning it up. I'd like to be able to have recordings of problems like that so I can maybe do something about it. Also, I like the idea of being able to check on things when I'm away.

  • I also have dog. Lots of great features exclusive this platform, but it has a few shortcomings as you mentioned.

  • If you haven't checked it already, the vent valve on the radiator might be closed or worn out.

    You might also have a radiator that's getting hotter more quickly than the rest. You can adjust it's vent valve to vent air more slowly (or replace the valve with a slower one) to give your colder radiators more time to warm up before the thermostat stops calling for heat.

  • When I say engineering paper, this kind is what I mean. I've only ever seen it in white or shades of green and yellow. Where do you get it in blue?

  • On some paper usually. I prefer that yellow/green engineering paper. Having a nice straightedge is important, too.

  • I recall my friend explaining that you should avoid dairy for three days beforehand, but that there are products that can help clear you out right away if necessary.

  • I don't have any personal experience with it, but a buddy of mine who does once explained to me that unless you like it poopy then your bowels should be voided much sooner than three days ahead of anal sex.

  • Like I have crippling horny disease too …

    Lol I read that and I think I regret it. What is crippling horny disease? What does it have to do with that infamous post?

    You can dance the Macarena to other songs besides the Macarena.
