I second this one. Even taking a full EMR (formerly first responder) course is surprisingly cheap and something most people would find useful. Employers also always love having EMRs on staff in any setting so it looks good on a resume too. My course also had us trained in FEMA disaster response procedures and got us signed us for that. Plus EMR volunteers are always needed for large events such as festivals and parades.

Going any higher than that probably wouldn’t be worthwhile for the average person though.

See, why do we need gun laws when it easier to become president than to buy a firearm?!

~/s obviously~

My goto is usually rock auto. Other places can be cheaper but nowhere else has everything in on place. If I need something quickly then I just go to my local parts shop.

Except a presidents job is foreign policy. For domestic policy senate and house has far more control.

Kamala was the better candidate. But that doesn’t mean she was a good candidate. If they want to win then making people choose between a pile of shit and a turd sandwich isn’t the winning move.

All the projections I’m seeing him show him almost certainly winning the popular vote. There’s a gap of 6 million votes and almost every state is over 90% reported in. That gap is going to likely shrink a bit, but unfortunately it almost certainly won’t be enough for him to even lose the popular vote.

Lets face it, we’re (assuming you’re american) apparently just a country of facists. It looks like GOP is going to have majority in both houses too so here comes project 2025 I guess.

Trump is winning the popular vote by a pretty decent margin. The electoral college isn’t the issue here.

So glad that was censored. Almost lost mi innocence there.

I was a refrigeration tech in a place that made high end refrigeration equipment. Fun fact, when some refrigerants get too hot, they break down into hydrogen flouride which forms hydroflouric acid when it comes in contact with water, such as the water in your respriatory tract. Acids taste and smell sour. Being that I normally worked with brand new equipment, I had never dealt with burned refrigerant before. This resulted in me wondering why the hell the refrigerant in an RMA machine had a sour smell when purged the lines on my manifold. Like the dumbass I am I wound up smelling a fair bit of that refrigerant trying to identify why it smelled sour before it finally occured to me that I had been practically snorting hydrogen flouride. One hospital trip, a few chest xrays, and an ECG later I wound up being fine. The next day I came back to work to find that my smartass boss had put a bag of sour candy on my desk.

It’s common resturant lingo but fast food is completely different from resturant work. Also “86” literally has the same number of characters as “no”. They could have put down “no cherries” with the exact same ease. They decided to play a stupid game so they won a stupid prize, a stupid amount of cherries.

Exactly. Nothing with shared credentials should be directly accessible to someone off site to begin with. Either way things went down they have a security hole you could fly a blimp through. Either they aren’t revoking credentials properly or they have eternally facing systems using shared credentials.

Yeah, the proper time to revoke credentials is before they even know they’re getting fired. At all the places I worked, the first sign that someone was getting fired would be that they’re suddenly unable to access anything.

Yeah, that’s on the customer. If you write that you want a bunch of fuckin cherries then you’re getting a bunch of fuckin cherries. Now go eat the pile of cherries you ordered.

Wait, caffeine actually keeps you all awake? It usually just makes me more tired. I only drink it to keep the withdrawls at bay.

This is the exact feeling I always had with my big ass tool box on my tiny ass truck. “Hold on, y’all need a kitchen sink? I think I got one in here.” I still remember how good it felt the exactly one time I had all of the tools required to do a parking lot clutch swap just on hand in that thing when a friend blew their clutch up.

MN is not a stand your ground state. If you are threatened in public then you have a duty to retreat if able. However, MN is a castle doctrine state so if someone threatens you on your property then you are perfectly clear to use any reasonable means up to and including lethal force to defend yourself and your property. So your initial idea only works in MN if the threat took place on his own property of if he is unable to get away from the threat.

I can think of no better way to all but guarantee you get shot than to point a gun at someone else.

Foraging in your whitetail deer fursuit durring hunting season is about the only way I can think of.

Generally speaking, even if your state doesn’t have brandishing laws, pointing a firearm at someone is still considered assault. Assault is the unlawful attempt or threat to cause harm to another person.

How the hell do you bash someones head in with an axe without making enough noise to wake anyone else in the house? Especially when it’s a couple, like how do you not immediately wake up when the person sleeping right next to you gets their skull caved in?

I grew up next to a railroad crossing so I can sleep through train horns but I doubt even I could sleep through that.
