Are you on the younger side? Generally younger people want to be older mostly to be able to do more adult things or have the things in life older people have built over time.

Getting older isn’t just looks although that is just a matter of personal preference. There are health concerns and things like lower energy. Taking care of yourself helps a ton but sometimes you get bad genetics or some kind of aliment anyway. And age will eventually catch up with most people.

I do still recommend things like exercise so you can feel 30 at 60 instead of 60 at 30.

5.56, typical rounds for ARs, aren’t high caliber. In many states it’s illegal to hunt deer with that caliber because it’s under powered. Who told you it’s high powered?

People absolutely use “high capacity” mags when these laws say more than 10 is too high. Take something like a Glock handgun typical capacity there is 15 to 17. For a modern rifle capacities of 20 to 40 is extremely common. For ARs the standard capacity is 30. Certainly any rifle anyone would consider for self defense is going to have mags larger than 10.

Overpenetration is a concern for any round a person would use for self defense. That includes 9mm and buckshot. Using 5.56 or 300 blk isn’t actually that much more dangerous when just about anything is going through a bunch of wall if someone misses. And 5.56 might actually stop sooner than a slower moving handgun round because ballistics do weird things.

I’ve never heard of a rule. Maybe with booze or smokes? Maybe some states or cities have some weird law like NJ does about gas.

I’ve bagged my own groceries before when it was just the cashier or other baggers were busy or something. Also there is the self checkout. If anyone were to complain I’d just joke, “don’t worry, I was a professional in a previous life”. I did actually work retail and bagged stuff while being a cashier like a decade ago.

They might think you’re odd or think it’s weird if you rebag things like they did it wrong. Maybe be annoyed if you were slow. I don’t think too many employees would actually care or get insulted. No one under management gets paid enough to care.

@crow Not really sure how someone faking it would expect things to work out. Someone could decide they could get a bunch of clout and followers by faking it. But at some point they get shown to be a fraud then they lose any following they had. Are the people who claim to have discovered something notable before this or could they just be riding a wave for a min for a quick buck? I guess there have been cases in more proper scientific circles of faked results.

Reporting on it is kinda whatever as that’s kinda just talking about what someone else claimed.

Another possibility is that some other mechanism is at work or there is a fault in the test setup. At that point the person making the claim could be wrong but not necessarily aware of it. Maybe due to a lack of knowledge.

If you’re expecting 100 hour plus experiences in open worlds or detailed campaigns like AAA titles for $30-60 then there aren’t that many. There are still good titles. Might want to check out steam and see what’s popular in their VR section. Maybe see what has longer play times if that is what you’re interested in.

I have music or whatever it’s called now because I music and red together where the same price as just red. I still have it because I use YouTube more than streaming services like Netflix and don’t mind supporting creators I’m watching. I use some of the features of premium on the app on my phone and fire stick too which could be worked around but would be a hassle.

For a vast majority of people who mainly view YouTube as a free service I highly doubt they’d be willing to pay $7 a month let alone $14. A large portion of their viewer base is kids and they aren’t going to pay. Maybe if they add stickers or whatever TikTok is going nuts over as part of the monthly sub.

You’re the one randomly commenting to defend a government. Plenty of governments and orgs find problems with the policies and actions of the CCP not just the US.

One I have a problem with is how people in China can’t really criticize their government without risking being targeted by the government. If I said the Pooh Bear comment in China the CCP would be on my ass because WeChat reported me.

On the other hand criticize my government all the fucking time including leaders in particular. Watch. Fuck Biden I don’t like his gun policy and I don’t think he should run again, he is too fucking old. Here, I’ll do it again. Fuck Trump, he has tiny hands and I’m pretty sure he did those crimes he has been to going to court over. Also the DMV sucks and inflation is bad.

I could get into more important things the CCP is responsible for like the genocide but you probably think those are lies or want to get into whataboutisms.

How do you keep your breath so fresh? Does the pooh bear use mint flavored shoe shine or do you just pop in a mint after going to town?

If they have to use code words they’re not going to be getting care in their state, not legally anyway. That’s part of how they can even be charged with something.

I know my dog loves meeting people and getting attention. She basically acts like she doesn’t get any pets at home.

If she stops on a walk it’s usually because she wants to sunbath or smell the same spot for 10 mins.

The rabbits thing happened a long time ago. Some rich dude got like a dozen and set them loose on his property so he could hunt them. They multiplied like rabbits tend to and spread.

I would have thought they’d be some good grub for predators down there but I guess not enough to keep their population in check. The government actually tried using biological warfare on the rabbits without success.

RFK Jr is an anti-vax and conspiracy theory nut. DeSantis is basically the home schooled version of Trump.

DeSantis vs RFK Jr wouldn’t really be much of an improvement. Just a different flavor of shit. Like lemon flavored shit instead of lime flavored shit.

Often time scammers put a few typos and whatnot into initial contact to weed out smarter people. Mainly if the scam is going to involve phone calls or something. Scams just trying to get passwords or infect your computer might try harder to look legit.

It’s a massive problem in Australia. One of their worst invasive species.

There is a documented thing insurance companies have started doing where they deny claims until you appeal them. AI was being used somehow to determine which cases.

So what you’re saying is that I can already spin up extra LLCs and get extra ballots?

25 to 45 years seems like plenty for most of the profit of a work. Maybe 5 years with an option to renew it by the author using the copyright with maximum of 50 years or so. That way abandoned IP or works no longer being published can be used sooner but people who have a series or keeps selling a work can keep control of the IP.

The life of the author plus 70 years bs we have now is insane. It use to be 14 years originally then was 28 years for a good while.

So, do you have automatic deployments or?

Health wise there really isn’t a big advantage to being vegan, vegetarian, or a meat eater. People can have healthy or unhealthy diets regardless of particular restrictions. In the past there wasn’t a lot of vegan junk food or options so vegans kinda had to be healthy on accident. Now days you can get just as messed up on vegan food. As an example oreos are vegan but no one is going to argue they’re a healthy meal.

A complete protein is important but a little more complex to get without meat or dairy. Right now the cheapest protein sources are chicken or protein powder derived from milk (whey). Vegan options are kinda pricey for powder and whole foods would be kinda a pain if you want a higher protein diet. I wonder if they could do “lab grown” complete protein powder cheap.

Arguably the lab grown meat could be more efficient than growing a whole chicken. And a lot of people simply won’t give up meat.

If the vegan is there for ethics then cultivated meat should be all good. More ethical than cheese or leather anyway.

Maybe some will complain about the source of the starter cells or something.
