Nobody touches my cello. The last person who did staved in the side.

You should know what category you fall into… It’s not like getting banned and going somewhere else is an event chain you wouldn’t know about.

I don’t know, man, I think I could last an hour, maybe even two, before all the skin fell off. Even with the best lube, you’re gonna do some damage for 720 hours straight.

I have the same experience, generally. It will definitely have a lot of room to wiggle around, depending on the particular gun’s characteristics, the bullet’s characteristics, and even the surrounding environment. If you read the wikipedia on it, you’ll even see a section complaining about how measured dB levels are nearly useless if the distance from the source isn’t measured. A lawn mower across the street isn’t such a big deal, but the one pushing it should have hearing protection.

I have a friend who loves that movie because it just leaves him and his wife gasping for breath between their ceaseless laughs. My personal favorite is

Congratulations on your hearing damage making things seem quiet? I’ve had somewhat fewer rounds, maybe 100k-200k, and 9mm is still deafeningly loud. I’m betting it’s because I wore hearing protection for most of it…

For god’s sakes, a simple internet search immediately shows the lack of evidence for 9mm being quiet.

Yeah, good point, gun safety is very Important. Guns aren’t toys.

I’m betting it was the weekly delivery of flowers with ‘anonymous’ notes that left no doubt who was sending them if a moment’s thought was used.

There’s a few movies that get it mostly right. Wasn’t it the entire plot of the movie 30 days of darkness? I think it was still too light in those last days depicted before darkness fell.

And if whatever sheared off the part of the spaceship/satellite changed it’s momentum. If I’m on a space station, and fling something directly towards the earth, from my perspective it will fall directly towards earth for quite some time (probably out of eyesight) before the orbital movements make it behave in odd (compared to on-the-surface) ways.

Having been involved in a conversation about this sort of family dynamic with police, I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless OP is in a gigantic city, he is not going to receive any help from the police that actually protects him. What will happen is the police will listen to his story, then go talk to the other parties involved to get their story.

If an officer believes him right off the bat, they can/may hold off on talking to the rest of the family and tipping them off that OP is making these claims, but even in that case OP still may be stuck in the house. They might be able to connect him to a shelter. Might. The problem is that he is male. Male domestic violence shelters are almost certainly going to be a shit-show at best, and 95% chance there isn’t a shelter for males of domestic violence within any distance that the cops would help him get to.

The best bet for OP that involves cops is to follow Chonk’s advice: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/3089471/5115602

Use the cops for what they are actually good at: protecting you in the exact moment they are there. Anything else is going to be a time-consuming investigation, unless the brother/father literally admit to planning to kill OP.

I mean, I agree that it looks pretty normal. Maybe if it grows considerably more when he’s aroused, it would be in the above average range, but that’s well below most of what you see in porn.

ah, thanks. I edited yours into the comment now.

Plenty of salad dressings are just hopped up vinegars anyway.

If it helps, it’s because it is a really, really bad situation if the person’s pilot chute is unsecured inside of the plane. The pilot chute is a small chute that drags out your main parachute, and if it goes out the door it can be a terrible day for everyone involved. If it goes over the plane’s tail it can damage the control surface, ruining the pilot’s control; it can drag the skydiver out of the plane in an uncontrolled manner, leading to injury by hitting surfaces of the plane and possibly being entangled in the various lines; and the person can injure or cause more mayhem with the others still on the plane.

If the pilot chute isn’t securely tucked away in the plane, courtesy is to stomp on it and everyone works to restow it where it belongs, but if it is near the door or already being sucked out the door? We all agree that the safest thing is to get that person out of the plane as fast as possible.

I’ve been waiting for the day I get to push someone from the plane. Everyone always talks about it, and hopes it doesn’t happen to them, but we all secretly want to have the experience of applying our foot to someone else’s ass at altitude.

Keep your pilot chute stowed, lads.

This has been a message from your local skydiver’s unvoiced desires

Law enforcement already can just subpoena/get-a-search-warrant-for them all they want. Why would they bother with paying a fee?

Aye, and 2 seconds is the bare minimum. A company I have worked for wanted 4 seconds between you and the car in front. That always felt a little much, but it definitely helped prevent wrecks.

Hocus Pocus is classic 90s comedy/super-light horror. It’s gooooood.

edit: and OP says in another comment that they want to avoid it. Noooooo! …I get the sentiment, but noooooo!

I’m just gonna do the English thing and mix my Latin and Greek without carrying about form or origin. We can settle for Atlapodae, or Atlasae.

I still keep a state map stowed in the pocket behind the driver’s seat. You know, just in case.
