We should be so lucky that people looking to harm others would be using fully automatic weapons. Unless they train with it significantly chances are they’ll end up doing less damage. The one exception I can think of would be something like

Well, they are pretty fun to shoot. It’s an activity you can do alone or with friends that’s challenging, just like archery or bowling. In rural areas they’re almost ubiquitous because they’re used for hunting, animal control (I’ve persona

That’s just for people that have it plugged it when they take the stats, too. Considering you can use it wirelessly and standalone it has a commanding lead of the market.

Well, there’s this (which is clearly trying to push an agenda but is apparently accurate): http://mass-shootings.info/ But it depends on your definition. Certainly the big, intentional “I’m going to kill everyone and then k

It’s well known in the wedding photography world that raising your prices might actually net you more customers - to an extent, anyways.

At some restaurants you’d be worse off but those tips add up. Presuming you get 15% all you’d need to do is $100 served in an hour to catch up. Obviously there are fast and slow times but at a reasonably busy place you’re probably coming ou

How about “your test came back too low, but I’m not even going to think about treating you because you don’t fit the profile.” You beg to at least be referred to a specialist. The specialist all but laughs you off but agrees to test again.

I find that if you go in to an appointment with a peer reviewed study printed out things will go better for you. It’s a good way to signal “I did my own research, but not on YouTube.”

One could argue that doing things on a county/city basis made way more sense, though. Most states locked down way too early, and in my state (Minnesota) it was especially ridiculous to lock down the rural areas at the time when we only

If it's the one I found they're talking about a different town. That said I certainly haven't verified the sign, though I do remember seeing an image of it somewhere a long, long time ago. Not pre-Photoshop but definitely b

Yep, at least depending on the type of game you’d like to make. If it’s something complex it’s probably not the best choice, but that shouldn’t be your first game anyways.

There sure are a lot of roadblocks in our country to having enough medical professionals to keep wages from going down.

That’s how it should work, and that’s why wages have remained suppressed in our country for so long. In my area is a large turkey processing plant - if you ever eat turkey there’s a good chance you’ve eaten something from there. I’m in Minn

I just saw a banner outside mine in a very low cost of living area advertising starting at $14 an hour.

I haven’t noticed a difference in most things. Some things are cheaper at Walmart, but they also often have companies make worse versions of products for them just so they can sell them cheaper.

My closest Walmart is in a town of 20,000 or so. There’s also a Target a few blocks away. The people that shop at either could not be more different. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone above 350 lbs at the Target. Walmart? Probably every

It’s great when you want to buy a few things. It’s terrible if you have a cart full of things.

To be fair, that felt like a superpower 6 months ago.

Totally anecdotal, but from knowing heavy lifelong drinkers and heavy lifelong pot smokers, it seems to me that alcohol is worse for your body and marijuana is worse for your brain. Neither are 'healthy' in any sense of the word.

The hosts of All Things Considered regularly use latinx, but at least the last time I heard them use a Hispanic reporter they used the word latino. I don't know if that was a change in policy or if the reporter doesn't like the w

I know what the words mean, but "refugee" usually means "someone who shouldn't qualify as a refugee but is going to try to use it/lie to get in to an economically favorable country" nowadays, but that's a

There’s a potential study for someone out there - see if descendants of nomadic tribes have less of a variance in circadian rhythms as opposed to people descending from static tribes.

I’m right there with you. I can go to bed early and wake up early, but I straight up feel gross/sick/off until my normal wake up time, don’t feel great the rest of the day, and my peak hours are after 10pm so I’d miss out on them.

I’ve been using it for years - the first time I went to the dentist after having used it for a while was the first time I’ve ever had a dentist be so positive about the condition of my teeth.

My mom refuses to be vaccinated because my grandma’s health tanked (and then she died) after taking the vaccine. She was old, so, you know - who knows. Certainly it was worth the risk at her age. It’s concerning though that if it does come

There’s an easy litmus test for news organizations - words. Do they use Latino or Latinx, for example? Illegal alien vs. undocumented immigrant vs refugee. Sex vs gender assigned at birth (usually when talking about a trans person). NPR us

I’d love for an oil free sunscreen - I have an OCD-ish type tendency where I can’t stand to have anything oily on my skin, especially my face or hands. I take some sun protective supplements instead, which work well enough where I don’t get

I’ve had the unfortunate reality of knowing quite a few people around my age that either killed themselves or tried when I was a kid and teen. My school was known for the number of suicides it had and I knew almost all of them. For one it
