You can only cultivate and slay so many rat kings before it loses its novelty. No wonder they dream of something more.

I paid 700$ at planned parenthood. There was an option for discounts based on income level, but 700$ was acceptable for me. Was it better than having more children; infinitely. It's it worse than being punched in the balls; infinitely.

Worst bit is the initial local anesthesia. "Needles, balls, ow" is the best description. I was cold sweating, and controlled breathing through it. My buddy who went that day too, passed out and bled a lot.

Our local schools also have a proximity limitation. Within that range, you don't get a bus. Walk, bike, or get a ride. (Unsure what that is, as my children are still several years away from public school, as daycare doesn't run a bus)

With the US's current "kids walking alone is endangerment" climate, realistically that means all those kids get dropped off by car.

Having grown up rural, buses tend to shine. I had a 20 minute bus ride to and from town as it collected all the scattered children over there. Route changed yearly to accommodate new or leaving kids.

School ran a small fleet of buses covering the whole district. Routine (within a 5 min window over the years) pickup and dropoff times, the same drivers for years, more or less the same roads.

Might not help. Doesn't hurt.

TOS to prohibit a firearm. Car stops, calls the cops. Trespassing charges if it's a legal gun? Otherwise just a GTFO because the company now refuses to serve them, as they are legally permitted to do? In this case it's also a ghost gun, extra spooky for the cops/government, so news worthy.

But what made it illegal? A semiauto AK is perfectly legal, and I doubt the Waymo has camera fidelity enough to differentiate the two. (Cameras capable of looking it over and declaring a lack of serial number) Was it clearly custom made? Riders openly discussing it's nature?

Oh Do you think this 12 week course I took to get certified in poetry is legit?

To be fair That's the headquarters. Actual manufacturing sites are completely unharmed by this. All they've done is damage some show models in the atrium of the headquarters and maybe spooked some suits.

If you want to make a difference, honestly crippling cloud service facilities and directly targeting Microsoft server farms is a better bet. No idea which one, so targeting fanuc data directly isn't easy, but even crippling teams and outlook stopped work for a day when a storm knocked out power to Microsoft site in Colorado that. Pretty sure it was a mass reported issue, so not just my corporation impacted.

Or, if you wanna hit a manufacturing site, some maps snooping (our various other sites aren't a secret. What they all do isn't public knowledge but their existence isn't) or poke about the offices at headquarters. Know how many processes maps and diagrams around our local plant have suppliers and sub assembly process sites for easy explanation to managers?

One is thousands of an inch, which is a typical unit of measure for milling operations. As the other person in this chain has said, ballistics is a weird game. End of the day, m(ass)*v(elocity)=f(orce), and the goal is getting f to a useful value. At that level, big and slow and small and fast have the same outcome. But, because ballistics is bastard, other factors start to interfere.

For example, If you want to shoot farther, you can either go faster, or be lighter. Going faster requires more powder in the case, which creates a different profile for the round and changes the acceleration profile during firing (there are several rifle rounds over the years that have approximately the same load and bullet, but are ever so slightly different shaped, to change how the powder burns off and how it accelerates down the barrel)

Being lighter reduces your final impact force, and can impact stability mid flight (leading to alterations to the length and profile of the round itself)

Closer to the first point and tangentially related, the US has been a capitalist hellscape for a while, and has numerous instances of a company making a firearm using a new round because they did the math and said this is what we want and what you should want, followed by everyone else making more or less a clone of it if the gun in question sells well. Due to copyright it can't be identical, but as math goes, there a lots of ways to reach the same outcome.

Perhaps "the butler did it" stems from real life, wherein correctly or not, the butler is an immediate suspect when someone who has hired help happens to be murdered in their home? Surely the master/servant relationship fosters resentment/ill will.

Even if not, I'm sure they're a wonderful scapegoat for an inheritance seeking child or slighted spouse when they commit the murder.

My dog loves to try to crush my balls This can still work

Some used to be that way.

Youtube has folks that dig way too deep into Elder scrolls lore and several use the format. Those work from "literally stated in the game" to "if you read these books in game in this mobile only title from 2001, look at questionably cannon dev comments, and look at the assets names, you'll find this reoccurring thread "
