I drive to work at night, and 2-3 times a week I have someone dressed in all black jump in front of me out of nowhere, forcing me to brake full force to avoid hitting them. It's definitely shithead kids doing it on purpose because they run away laughing every time. If I get a dashcam, can I start running them over? Or do cameras just get you out of the insurance fraud part and not the vehicular manslaughter part?

I always assumed that a turkey in a deep fryer was a seasonally themed variation on the good old watermelon in a deep fryer trick, rather than something that people seriously did in an attempt to produce an edible meal.

A guy I knew back in school submitted to a field breathalyzer test and passed because he was totally sober, then the pissed off cop "smelled pot" and decided to tear apart the interior of his car with a Ka-Bar and throw all of his poo poo into the ditch during his "search". He kept his license, but once a cop has started an interaction with you it's going to end with you getting hosed somehow.

Murphy Brownback posted:Maybe just don't drive if you have any alcohol in your system at all so it doesn't matter if you do the roadside test or the one at the station. This is one weird trick to keep you from getting a DUI. Because then you get a public intoxication charge for walking/taking public transit home.

Zero One posted:I don't play WWE games but I have heard that 2k16 is FAR superior to the 2k15 version. I wouldn't throw a fit but I would be disappointing to get a bad version of a video game series. Throwing a fit like this kid did is lovely but I'd probably give a gift card for the value of the game if it really was that hard to find in stock. Intentionally giving them the wrong thing is kind of saying, "Hey I knew exactly what you wanted for Christmas but gently caress you."

In my state, "no guns allowed" signs do not carry the force of law and ignoring the signs and bringing in a gun anyway is not a crime. If a business owner sees a toolbag walking around with a gun, he can ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, they can be charged with trespassing. This works the same as someone being asked to leave private property for any other reason. This means that an armed person has three options. They can notice the sign and decide to shop elsewhere. They can shop at the store without announcing the fact that they have a gun or showing their gun to people, because under current law it is legal for them to do so and go about their day. Or they can be an OPEN CARRY ADVOCATE and scream and pass out pamphlets because rights are being violated and poo poo. Keep fighting the good fight, folks.

Yeah, my point was that even in a state where legally carrying a gun into a place where you aren't meant to have one is as simple as just not giving a poo poo, open carry people are still trying to gently caress things up because they are that obsessed with making sure everyone knows about their gun.

nerdz posted:Yeah, what's the advantage of glue traps? A relative's house had such an absurd rat infestation at their garden that we would set up 5 spring traps, wait around five minutes, hear 5 snaps almost simultaneously, take off the rats and set them up again. This went on for around 2 hours. I can't even understand how much that would cost in single use glue traps. Glue traps are useful if you have mice that are small and light enough to not set off spring traps, and one trap can capture multiple mice at once because another mouse already being stuck to it doesn't seem to warn off other mice at all. Almost as if mice are dumb as hell or something. They can be cruel, but only if you leave the mice to die slowly or oil them up and watch as they struggle for freedom for some reason instead of just killing them after they're caught.

My state has a graduated driver's license system, with different levels available at age 14, 16, and 18. I waited until I was 23 and received my full license right away because being over 18 makes you a good driver, even though I had never driven a car outside of a video game before. I commented that the test way a lot easier than I was expecting and they openly told me that the test was meant to be nearly impossible to fail, since they knew that people were going to drive no matter what and they might as well collect the licensing fees and have everyone's info on record.

If nothing else, having Tannerite readily available in kits probably keeps people from screwing around with more dangerous stuff. It's powerful enough to blow the hell out of whatever you are blowing up, but no amount of accidental shock or fire will set it off.

It always bugs me when people watch a video or see a photo and point out that the people aren't wearing hearing protection. That means that they don't realize that foam ear plugs don't extend past the end of the ear canal when properly inserted, which means they've probably never properly inserted them themselves, which means they are probably deaf.

Sulla-Marius 88 posted:I hate going on holiday and being dragged to restaurants/bars that Americans also visit because often the staff will then, hearing you're a native English speaker (even when you speak the local language), assume you're American and expect you to tip 20%, even for lovely service and overpriced food - and they're more likely to treat you like poo poo, too. Whether that's anti-Americanism or Americans abroad just being turds, I don't know, but it sucks and I'm really going to have to ask you guys to just stay home until you get your poo poo sorted out, because you're loving it up for the rest of us. Thanks If you get bad service in America you're supposed to tip the full amount but be an rear end in a top hat about it. The most popular option is to throw the tip under the table so they have to crawl to get it, but I've always been a fan of super gluing a $20 to the plate.

AlmightyBob posted:He either recocked it or he was carrying a gun so broken just poking it would fire it and I find that hard to believe with a revolver If it's something like a Single Action Army clone, the hammer needs to be brought to half-cock to allow the cylinder to turn so it can be unloaded. Through a combination of being unfamiliar with 19th century revolvers and being really careless I could see it being possible to shoot off a round while trying to unload it. That still doesn't explain the first shot and in most "the gun went off" stories everyone involved is super full of poo poo. Even then, lots of people use something called a "holster" so the trigger is covered and the issue is eliminated completely.
