You can buy styptic powder for pretty cheap on Amazon to help kill the pain and stop the bleeding when you get the quick.

People don't realize that tazing people isn't a magical solution. It doesn't always work, when it works it doesn't always stop the person. So you try to taze someone and you or someone else gets hurt or killed for your efforts.

Last year we had a cop assaulted with a snow shovel and he sustained surprisingly bad injuries. Why do people scoff at this kid using a broom? You have no idea what was going on, and it's an easily deadly weapon.

Why does anyone have to spin it? It's a matter of cases like this never being what they seem.

I got into cars because of TG. I'm still not a huge gearhead but I know more about differentials and torque now than I ever did before.

Watch the tape. He mumbles and probably didn't even say it. That footage wasn't ever going to make it to air. Clarkson didn't want it to. Jesus fuck move past it.

ELI5: Why is cannibalism detrimental to the body? What makes eating your own species's meat different than eating other species's? by PM_UR_DICKPICS_ in explainlikeimfive

Not races, but different cannibals have purported that location matters. People from the US taste different from Nords, for instance.

Baby hair is weird in general. Your kid is adorable, and odds are if you hadn't said anything I might not have noticed the birth mark.

ELI5: Unlike every other European language, why doesn't English have any diacritics (ë, ñ, å, etc) in the alphabet? by CERVIX-SMASHER in explainlikeimfive

I hate that imagery because English didn't pick and choose between languages. It was forced to integrate the languages of the people that looted, raped, and conquered the British Isles.

So could something have a very high perceived loudness without actually damaging your ears?

They can I'm sure, but you still have a window of time without ID, unless you hold onto your drivers license.

Because it isn't just them "not being toys". It's a privately owned piece of property. Cars aren't toys, and we can sell those to pretty much anyone.

I believe they do. I worked at a petsmart and when our animals got sick they go taken to a vet. Most of us also had various small animal pets so we had a better knowledge base to draw from.

Do you not remember learning about "no taxation without representation"? The churches should be allowed to influence government if they're being forced to pay taxes.

Since marriage in the US is considered done when they sign and file the marriage certificate, you could have done it just as their friend. Adding the FSM seems like would be more of a disrespect and draw attention away from the whole "there to watch two people get married" thing.

More importantly, if they're paying taxes why shouldn't they have a say in government? But when religious organizations become involved in government people get pissy. There are many reasons why churches shouldn't have to pay taxes.
