  • Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos

    Jump

  • This isn't even stand your ground or castle doctrine or anything. The homeowner wasn't even home and they were outside the front gate when shot. That's the craziest part to me, absolutely no one was in danger until the dude showed up.

  • I had a much higher tolerance for bad movies when I was younger, like early twenties. Now if a movie is really bad I just turn it off, no loss. The last one was Madame Webb, what a mess. I just watched Borderlands and that's about the worst movie I can sit through.

  • 4 dead in shooting at Georgia high school, 14-year-old suspect in custody: Officials

    Jump

  • Ok, but only if the suspects name is etched onto a little ball that comes out of a machine that looks like it serves gumballs and the UI is controlled in a 3d space with some cool gloves by Tom Cruise.

  • Animal emotions is a hugely debated and studied topic, at least it was 10 years ago. It was a grave sin to anthropomorphize animals that have not been properly studied when I was in school. That comment is probably a tongue in cheek comment on that

  • People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam

  • Where do you think all the centers of our TP go?

  • No please I'll be good

  • I thought I was giving my kids the best childhood ever until my 4-year-old asked why we didn't own a 'bigger golf cart'

    Jump

  • They are popular in more affluent areas so they can be driven to clubhouses or other neighborhood spots, and unsurprisingly very common in neighborhoods that have their own golf course.

  • Locked

    I was only gone for a day or two...

  • Basically, people buy certain breeds expecting a certain behavior and then train these breeds to express said behavior, which makes it difficult to examine whether said behavior is due to the nature or nurtured or how big a role either plays.

    All the authors need to do is go to a handful of working dog breeders and watch the puppies. They will see quite clearly that breeding dogs for traits works.

  • Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars

    Jump

  • I just got a new car. I get a text message. I click play on the main menu. It tells me I need a subscription to listen to text messages. I open up android auto, click play. It plays. WEIRD.

  • TIL the US Government once released its own video game to inform, educate, and recruit prospective soldiers.

    Jump

  • Ya, idk how this would recruit someone into infantry. I played it for a little bit and it was a getting shot simulator. Idk if I ever even saw someone on the other team.

  • What's a community that gatekeeps really hard?

    Jump

  • Falconry in the US exists as an exclusion from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both of these laws make it illegal to disrupt or possess native birds or their parts. Falconers successfully petitioned the government to let them take wild raptors from the wild as long as falconers themselves regulate the participants. If the falconers are not being respectful of the birds it would be incredibly easy to strip their privileges.

    In the same sense RC flying is a privilege from the FAA after too many people flew drones into airports and HAM is a privilege from the FCC to keep people from jacking up the airwaves.

  • What's a community that gatekeeps really hard?

    Jump

  • I think those only need 1 test to play with them, and that's because they are regulated by the government. They want people to follow the rules because if they don't it can come down on all of them.

    The biggest one of these that I know of is falconry which requires 1 falconry test, 1 hunt test, 1 inspection, and finding a two year sponsor. Falconry is specifically set up to gatekeep as to protect the sport in the USA.

  • It must be a silent R

  • Ah, trained off that body builder forum post about days of the week I see.

  • I sometimes scoop tuna out of the can with saltines. Pretty good 0 effort snack.

  • I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x

    Jump

  • We upgraded our network and had old as shit devices that now need a dumb switch hooked into our $80k or whatever cisco switches because they can't do 10Mb lol

  • Harris-Walz camouflage hat reaches nearly $1m in sales a day after release

    Jump

  • This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can't wait.

  • TIL Burger King sold a burger with so much food coloring that it turned people's poop bright green
