Most of the people I knew who only had ten bedrooms just had the kids double up.

Lots of families just had a "girls room" and a "boys room" instead of giving all the individual kids their own rooms.

My happy zone is three, so you can use one as an office or craft room while still having a guest bedroom. But two is totally fine. If I had four I would probably do something like a dedicated office AND a dedicated craft room. A fifth would be a sex palace decorated in the style of Sotha Sil's clockwork tower in Morrowind.

I have literally no idea what I'd do with ten.

Granted for families with children, having separate rooms for each kid, at least for teenage years, avoids certain problems. But unless you're some kind of quiverful weirdo or running some kind of cult I literally can't think of any use for ten goddamn bedrooms besides a display of wealth.

Well maybe if you keep getting shot in the same spot. These days if you aren't saving pennies by rotating to have bullets strike different vest zones then someone needs to talk to you about your carbon footprint.

The FBI and Congress are examining a campaign event last spring during which Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner were in a small gathering with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak and other diplomats at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, multiple U.S. officials told NBC News.

Five current and former U.S. officials said they are aware of classified intelligence suggesting there was some sort of private encounter between Trump and his aides and the Russian envoy, despite a heated denial from Sessions, who has already come under fire for failing to disclose two separate contacts with Kislyak. Kushner also denied through a spokesman that he met privately with Kislyak that day.

fivegears4reverse posted:

This post is just as loving dumb as any "defend yourself" defense you're conjuring up, hope this helps.

If, for whatever reason, you are in a situation where you are attacked by a knife or gun weilding individual, what's going to matter is how you react to that situation with whatever is available.

It's true that owning a gun DOES NOT and NEVER HAS guaranteed safety against imagined or real home invaders. The exact same can be said about the vests or over clothing you're pushing. Self-defense is pretty firmly up to the individual, and pretending your solution is magically perfect and good for everyone is in the same realm as gun advocates claiming their ready to shoot down hundreds of thugs with their custom AR15 they have spent far too much money on.

You're never going to win the gun control debate if you're only capable of responding to seemingly unreasonable views with equally stupid poo poo.

I feel like you're trying to argue against poo poo you assume I meant instead of anything I said.

I'm not saying it'll protect you from everything, but if you're worried about surviving random gun violence it's a better solution than getting a gun.

Having a gun will do nothing but escalate a situation. If you open carry you're more likely to be a target or to have someone try to steal it from you, etc, etc. If you're concealed carrying then it's not going to do anything to dissuade an attack.

And yeah, no poo poo people need to know how to handle situations they find themselves in, which is the only thing you suggested that isn't just apparently trying to get your "own" on.

But learning deescalation techniques and how to avoid being targeted only goes so far if you're worried about getting randomly shot.

And a bullet resistant vest (resistant, I'm not stupid enough to think that there are fully bullet proof vests. You gotta do your homework and get the right kind for what you want protection from) will go much farther than a gun when combined with regular safety precautions.

So what the gently caress even is your point beyond "Heh, both sides are dumb :smuggo:"

quote:

The United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, President Donald Trump will announce at a Rose Garden speech this afternoon. On a conference call with Capitol Hill staffers ahead of the speech, White House energy policy adviser Michael Catanzaro confirmed that “the United States is getting out of the Paris agreement.” Trump, Catanzaro said, “will be open to and will immediately be looking for a better deal.” A source provided The Daily Beast with the call-in information. The process could be a lengthy one.

Catanzaro said the administration will follow the steps for withdrawal laid out in the deal itself. “We will initiate the process, which, all told, takes four years in total. But we’re going to make very clear to the world that we’re not going to be abiding by what the previous administration agreed to.” Trump’s withdrawal from the accord fulfills a major campaign promise, and dovetails with his “America First” mantra, a point stressed by White House deputy communications director Raj Shah in a separate conference call with conservative think tanks and pundits.

“The president’s action today is going to be in keeping with the president’s pledge to put American workers first,” Shah said. He asked those on the call write statements, op-eds, and tweets supporting the president’s decision. “I can’t explicitly state what the president is going to announce in an hour and a half, but I can say that I doubt folks on this call will be disappointed,” Shah assured them.

It's called a mudroom. Lots of people in the country have them.

They are generally a tiled area and room that leads into the house proper where people can store their jackets and boots. The tiles make it easier to clean and since their boots are often muddy from a day of laboring, the area became known as a "mudroom."

There is a CRT television, a man, a reclining sofa, and a buffalo in the mudroom.

If someone had targeted you, explicitly, then unless you have a security detail you're kinda hosed no matter what.

But I'm pretty much just talking about random, public, gun violence. Mass shooter event, a mug and run gone bad, stuff like that.

If someone's firing into a crowd I'm not imagining them chasing you or really anyone else down.

No, you crawl over to the vest bag, which should have been placed behind a reinforced wall. If you tossed barbed wire in front of the entry points you should have enough time, at least enough for the round to end.

Any situation which you would actually be able to make use of said body armor (i.e. attacked at home with ample forewarning) would end disastrously unless you have some means of fighting off an attacker and "get the hell out of there" which as you mentioned is the best option would be much more successful if you didn't waste time putting on something that would probably slow you down.

There are no laws restricting what you can use for self-defense in Canada. You just can't carry a weapon and are legally only allowed to use "reasonable force" to defend yourself.

Right, but your solution is to get a tool that's way more likely to kill you or another innocent person than save your life. So...I'm not seeing why your solution is better than mine.
