Yeah good call, idek your company, site, or industry, and I don't need to. As someone who has to deal with the same shit from a customer perspective I can't hate it enough.
Professional websites should all aspire to be like McMaster-Carr's, "you know why you are here why should we bug you with bullshit, now what size roll pins did you need?" Literally one of my favorite websites of all time, no muss no fuss.
274 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm
Ok, and how many defensive uses of a firearm occurred that year where the defender did not kill the attacker? Cases where the attacker was merely injured, or the defender missed, or the attacker ran off at the sight of the firearm? Why are those entirely omitted, does it only count as self defense if the attacker dies, not if one successfully stops the attack without a justifiable homicide?
And while we're at it, how many justifiable homicides occurred that year with your defensive weapon of choice, The Hammer? If the metric used to determine a weapon's viability for defense is simply justifiable homicides/yr, blind bet: it's less than 274.
Btw
only 1.1 percent of victims of attempted or completed violent crimes used a firearm,
While around 45% of people own a gun, only 21% of people carry a gun ever, and even less carry everywhere always, and this figure doesn't take into account whether or not the victims had a gun on them with which to defend themselves. This stat is entirely meaningless without controling for that.
and only 0.3 percent of victims of attempted or completed property crimes used a firearm.
Well that's illegal unless you're in Texas at night, so, unless that's all they're counting this makes me further question the voracity of the study. You're telling me that 0.3 percent of people in the study successfully justifiably killed someone for something that is illegal to kill people for? That's not how this works lol.
Tbf, a hammer is also a tool with only one use, sometimes a job needs a specific tool. "Killing" just so happens to include self defense, if you happen to need to defend yourself it helps to have the best tool for the job instead of hammering a nail with your wrench.
Seriously. "Start it a day early" My brother in Christ why does your grill need wifi? Do you get updates when the steak is ready? Can it flip your burger?!
Some of them. I had a red hat when trump first dropped, and I stopped wearing it after the second guy told me he almost kicked my ass for wearing it.
It's a red front with a white mesh back and is from a local food company, and it's like 20yr old, yet still it was close enough I had to retire it. I'd be worried to wear one even closer to the real one here tbh, likely someone doesn't read it and just goes off at it by mistake.

That's just what the off brand ones call themselves to avoid lawsuits, don't read too much into it.
Or do idc lol but that's why.
All the brits in here don't even understand, it's not about the brand name you ninnys, they're chocolate sandwich cookies.
FIX BAYONETS!
I figure if Survivor counts (and people say it does) than those would too, but I feel you lol. I'll check it out, thanks! The older the better tbh! Takeshi's Castle was what like 1986ish?
Well people consider Survivor reality tv, so idk I figured it was towards that genre. But whatever we consider it, I like it haha.
I like one category of reality tv and even then only a small subsection of them: Game Shows. The subsection in particular seems to be Japanese game shows subbed in English, the only ones I know so far tbh are Sasuke and Takeshi's Castle. As to why, Sasuke is just cool and Makoto Nagano rules, plus it's fun with the silly competitors. Takeshi's Castle is just plain hilarious. Conversely I hate basically all american versions, American Ninja Warrior was ass and Wipeout was too, yet both were just stolen rebrandings of their Japanese counterparts with all the whimsy and fun sucked out.
And I'm mainly posting this to solicit recommendations for more Japanese game shows like that which I can pirate.
Such a sweet kitty. Still pretty hidey, but coming along and opening up. She's play biting me now and it's so cute. Still hisses sometimes when she sees me but still doesn't mean it. Her leg is healing up so good that I never put the cone on her, I think part of the licking was stress which I've removed as much as possible. Picture to follow here.
This little scaredy cat got into the warehouse in which I work, and someone had to save her so I did. I recently asked about integrating her into my house with my 2y old cat.
So far, she's been quarantined in a separate room, she's got a bite on her foot I wasn't told about that looks partially healed, but still not great, and so I'll have to figure that out first. I have a cone on the way to stop her from licking at it until I can get her to the vet (who was supposed to email me yesterday...c'mon guys kitty need help!) Unclear if the bite came from one of the dogs inside the warehouse, or (lord I hope not, but...honestly I think so..), the raccoon she was spotted near a few days before she gained entry to the warehouse. I have a pic if anyone wants to see it, but it looks like a lil puncture wound (not exactly cute) so I'm only going to if someone requests 'cause they wanna help (as much help as that can be, need the vet for sure but advice is always welcome in the meantime!!)
She's terrified, but, that's probably normal? I mean, she's a wounded stray captured in a humane trap and then was fostered in a bathroom for a while until I got her in her own room. It's been like 26hr since I got her here, I'd be scared too. That said, she'll hiss and hiss but won't bite or scratch, when she hisses I'll pause and slow blink, then keep going, when I reach her she'll let me pet her, pick her up, starts purring and rubbing her face into the pets, y'know, cat stuff. So, pretty good? Idk! I've only adopted from humane rescues so far this is kiiiinda my first "found it in a dumpster" cat.
My tubby kitty, resident idiot... Idk if she's even noticed, despite the new kitten using her separate box (clearly "smells" involved there wafting under the door) and she definitely heard her meowing at me (begging for release into the wild) about 1h ago. Doesn't seem to care at all, who knows with this dingus! Maybe they'll become fast friends when they see each other, here's hoping!
Here's another pic, of her deciding I may not be so bad after all, of course she'll forget this next time I walk in...
I have a man,
