  • They last even longer if the water is cold. In the winter people have been brought back after spending several hours dead under the ice after falling through and drowning. I think the record for someone who made a full recovery is 17 hours.

    There's a saying in EMS, "They're not dead until they're warm and dead."

  • And your friend would have killed you. A drowning person isn't thinking rationally. They will grab you and hold you under the water with all of their adrenaline fueled strength to try to stay above the water. If someone is drowning you never get in the water with them unless you are specifically trained for that and even then it is a last resort. Drowning is one of those situations where if you just run in and try to help without thinking then the ambulance just winds up hauling away two corpses.

    What you should be doing is finding anything that floats and throwing it to them or finding something long that they can grab onto so you can pull them to shore. For example tie a couple towels together to make a rope or dump out a cooler and throw it in for them to grab.

  • Some are picky but even those you can almost always train them to eat pre killed. Usually the most you need to do is just warm the rat up and wiggle it with a tongs. Snakes are pretty dumb so that's enough for it to look alive to them. It's a whole lot more convient to have a freezer full or rats than to keep live rats. Not to mention live prey can be dangerous to the snake; it usually isn't but before I finally got my snake to start eating prekilled one of the live rats I fed her gave her a scratch on her eye cap.

  • shoot to kill

    Just to be clear, if you are shooting someone you are always "shooting to kill". You never so much as point a firearm at someone unless you are ready to end their life. If someone happens to be incapacitated but survive being shot then that is a happy accident but it should never be the expected outcome.

    ACAB of course and I agree with everything else you said. I just get really tired of the "why didn't they shoot the in the leg or hand" comments. Real life isn't an action movie. That isn't how things work. If you are shooting someone you are aiming center of mass so you have the best chance of hitting despite the high stress scenario which it will be if you're not a sociopath. And you keep pulling the trigger until they drop because gunshot wounds will rarely drop someone in one hit. Even of it winds up being a lethal wound it can take a while to kill or even be debilitating to someone who is almost certainly running on adrenaline; until then all you've done is piss them off and make yourself a threat. In high stress situations people are known to be able to sustain fatal gunshot wounds and not even realize that they've been shot until the adrenaline starts wearing off.

  • Seriously. I bought some dirt cheap full grain leather biker boots 3 years ago; I have given them exactly 0 care, abused the snot our of them daily, and they are still holding up strong. These weren't even boots meant for working and they still survived trudging through the various slops of all 4 minnesotan seasons for 3 years.

    As long as you are buying actual leather and not "genuine leather" then whatever you buy should easily last several years even if not cared for. Well cared for leather goods can last decades.

  • I'm willing to bet that they just didn't want the legal hastle of collecting data on minors. Also minors are going to be more likely to lie about any potential sexual history.

    As far a why they excluded man on man action I have no idea. If the origional graph was in an article about declining birth rates or something then that may explain it but idk what the original article was so idk if that is the case.

  • I'm assuming that this is a joke but just in case it isn't you need to stop. If you're seen doing this then you will be labeled a sex offender as you should be. Noone consented to being involved in your fetish. Noone is going to be aroused or stop and help. They are going to call the cops and you are going to get arested.

    Just to repeat it, do not ever subject anyone to sexual acts without prior explicit consent. Go get therapy now.

  • Exactly. If there was any question then the punishment is way too permanent to even be considered. But this dude is literally the father of a 14 year old girls child. There is no question here. There is no ambiguity. Have a third party double check the tests and another one tripple check them; if the results are still conclusive then make sure he can never harm anyone ever again.

    My only complaint is that castration is cruel and unusual without reason because it doesn't actually prevent him from being a danger. Just lock him up forever or kill him. Right now I know life imprisonment is usually cheaper than the death penalty otherwise it wouldn't even be a question.

  • It's a dynamically-sized list of objects of the same type stored contiguously in memory.

    dynamically-sized: The size of it can change as needed.

    list: It stores multiple things together.

    object: A bit of programmer defined data.

    of the same type: all the objects in the list are defined the same way

    stored contigiously in memory: if you think of memory as a bookshelf then all the objects on the list would be stored right next to each other on the bookshelf rather than spread across the bookshelf.

  • They're all inert noble gasses until you get down to radon which is radioactive (second largest cause of lung cancer). Then you get to oganesson which is so violently radioactive that it doesn't exist unless we make it exist.
