You'd "give" the gun to the kid in the sense that it's "their" gun to take hunting (and maintain, clean, etc), but it stays locked up in your safe, to which the kid has no access. But, in that case it would be a hunting rifle meant for beginners, maybe chambered in .22 or something like that. Usually, it's something that gets passed down from parents/grandparents if hunting runs in the family. Definitely not the "school-shooter-9000" that these people got for their kid.

They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don't actually think or pray.

Sounds like it’s time for somebody to make /c/TrumpVsTrump ?

/c/TrumpTrumpsTrump :p

This is one of the few acceptable ones IMO. Sometimes, something is bullshit, you know it's bullshit, everyone else knows it's bullshit, but you have no ability to fix or avoid said bullshit, so... it is what it is.

through 2020

Which implies that it only stopped because of the pandemic

As for the "you can't clean it" it's BS in and of itself. I use a chainmail scrubber to remove the big stuff, then soap and one of those green scrubbers to get it good and clean. The trick is, no matter how you clean it, you need to dry it COMPLETELY (I use paper towel) then oil it immediately. Doesn't take much oil either, maybe a drop about the size of a nickel for a 12" skillet. My wife has alpha-gal syndrome, so all cookware needs to be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water, no exceptions.

Once you get a good seasoning set in, it's almost indestructible, unless you seriously mistreat it... and even then it's fixed pretty easily with an SOS pad, oil, and an hour or two in a hot oven.

My cast iron is more non-stick than any so-called 'non-stick' pan I've had, and I have one of those The Rock pans. I think the only caveat is you have to get a decent one. Anything made in China is no good (nothing necessarily about the casting or finish of the pans themselves, they just have very low quality iron); I personally buy Lodge, but there are a few other good brands to look in to.

He's a POS for sure, but this whole case seems like they're trying to blame him for them not doing their DD. He a) owned a 50% stake in the copyright, and a judge found that gave him permission to make and distribute copies as he sees fit, b) He said quite publicly that distributing it was his intent, c) He didn't try to hide the fact that he distributed it, and d) all that happened before his conviction. It should have been plainly obvious that there were physical and digital copies made and distributed before the auction took place.

Are you saying his income will be ... ahem ... a goose-egg?

ok boomer 🤡

Well, if Hawaii didn't want to get invaded, it shouldn't have put itself in an ideal defensive location for the USA in the pacific, it's their fault really

In household wiring polarity does matter, especially if you are assembling plugs. Only one of the three wires is carrying live current (hot), the other two are the neutral return path, and ground which is for safety. If you accidentally switch polarity, you can cross hot to neutral and cause a short circuit.

Psychos aren't the 'scream in your face and belittle you' type of people, it's the silver-tongued devils that talk about family values and the environment and how their thing helps people, all while making backroom deals and lobbying governments to pass laws in their favour or any other number of shit. Psychos will appear on the surface as the nicest goddamn person you ever met, and you won't think otherwise until you find the knife in your back.

Precisely. Maybe small companies have decent owners, but anything with a value of over a few million is likely to be run by one of these types.

You don't work with them, you work for them. The only capitalists in capitalism is the ownership class, the rest are just slaves to the system under which they are born.

Sounds like mods and admins can already do this, and if the barrier to entry to being an admin is firing up a Docker container, I don't see the purpose in restricting users from seeing it

idk about diesel, but you can get a 2-stroke to run pretty dirty without much trouble

Wasn't it helldivers 2 that region-locked people months after release?

Special fuck you to the TSA agents at the Vegas airport, they've confiscated my lighter twice even though it's allowed. Never had a problem at any other airport with them.
