CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:It's not about guns anymore. Even Aust style gun control is gonna do jack poo poo when you have these terrorists willing to shoot up random supermarkets. It's both (and a lot of other stuff to boot, the biggest cause of regular old gun violence (not necessarily active shooter poo poo like this) is poverty). Our society has a serious problem with glorifying and fetishizing guns and violence and you don't reverse that by making sure there's an ever increasing amount of guns.

They should have tested the regular 3.5 eco boost that 4 million people have instead of the 450 horse raptor variant that like 20,000 people have.

Cancer chat: I had two buddies (both early 40s) get diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer last year. One got diagnosed when he puked up blood after a night of drinking. He did a ton of chemo to get the stuff that’d spread. They then did a bunch of radiation on his esophagus. Pronounced him clear (enough?) to take a 3 month chemo break. Just got scanned again yesterday and said he can again come back in 3 months. I think it’s been 14 months since his diagnosis. Other guy got diagnosed December 31st when all of a sudden he couldn’t swallow. Checked into the hospital and never checked out, died 3 months later.

HandlingByJebus posted:Other people who are also struggling are not your enemies. For-profit health care is inhumane. For profit healthcare is gross but upper middle class welfare is also gross. I know someone that did the same thing with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis when I know for a fact the worst possible financial outcome he could possibly have would have been to withdraw ~8000 for his annual OOP max from his mid-high six figure 401k.

My previous house had a Love is spoken here sign that the previous owner forgot that I immediately took down but apparently forgot to throw away because 7 years later after buying a new house my wife hung it up in my garage

meatpimp posted:New high point for my HOA. I've had 2 wheels of the Escalade off the driveway and in the grass to give my wife more room to back out while the Juke is still in the garage. I got this little nugget of joy this morning: At the opposite end of the HOA spectrum, my neighbor planted five evergreens last year. I immediately sent an email to the HOA management company saying "Hey, these are gonna gently caress up my view, was their landscaping plan approved?" and they responded with "Your neighbors went through the proper channels and we can't say anymore due to privacy issues." So I waited until they actually started loving up my view, which took all of 12 months, and am now sending emails again saying "Sorry, "nunya fuckin business" isn't really going to cut it considering the view is half the reason we bought the house and "Protecting the views the neighborhood is known for" is literally part of the first sentence in the HOA's mission statement. I'm legit curious how this is going to proceed. It seems the two most likely causes are: 1. The "architectural committee" are idiots that just rubber stamp any plan without looking at them, or 2. The neighbor submitted a plan that didn't have the trees on it and planted them because they're dicks or just oblivious, and the HOA wouldn't ever know because they're in the back yard and they don't come out and check to make sure the work matches the plan. I will 100% sue the poo poo out of anybody and everybody though because poo poo like this is the only real legitimate purpose of an HOA and they failed miserably.

T-Square posted:Guess who pulled a stainless pan out of a 450F oven on Sunday night, and then promptly grabbed it again without an oven mitt? I've done this at least once in the last year, though not bad enough to need drugs. The worst similar thing I've ever done was after having smoked stuff half a dozen times on a big green egg I seared a steak on it for the first time. Turns out when you're smoking stuff at 225 the top vent stays real cool and you can adjust it with your fingers, but when you're trying to turn the fire box into lava to sear steaks and grab the cast iron top vent without thinking about it you end up leaving your finger prints melted to the cast iron.
