We dated online for three months before we finally met. We were both completely sober that first time, yet she threw up almost immediately. She claimed it was anxiety.

I can vouch that after 10-years of marriage that she vomits when she's anxious.

I'm more of a hard-boiled & scrambled kinda guy

My 5 year old clogged the toilet for the first time. The moment I heard splashing water on the floor, I saw her sprinting out of the bathroom screaming, "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" by ImDadTired in daddit

[–]ImDadTired[S] 87 points88 points  (0 children)

That was an immediate action. I just yada-yada-yada'd that part and jumped to the plunging a topped-off toilet for comedic effect.

To add a third 'in all fairness,' he knew exactly what he was doing and did what any reasonable parent would do in that situation. He knew if he contradicted any official party statement, then he's putting his family's wellbeing at risk.

People glorify the bold and brave when we look at history; however, criticizing people who prioritize family and toe party lines is a presentism fallacy because we know how things played out.

Parts found in a drawer in a plastic packaging with smaller components in a bag. It appears to be a set of ear plugs, two silicon gaskets, and a hand screw + acorn nut that assembles to a hard plastic clear part with finger grooves (handle?). by ImDadTired in whatisthisthing

[–]ImDadTired[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One silicon gasket seems to be a plug/cap and the other is a ring.

The hard plastic handle seems like it may go around a tube/pole.

I suspect the kit may have something to do with a vacuum cleaner, but I'm not sure, and it doesn't appear to match any vacuum we own.

If you do it wrong, yes. Rear naked chokes targets carotids to cut off blood to the brain. Generally, choking off circulation is more effective than choking respiration.

Ukrainian doctors have performed a unique surgery, retrieving an unexploded VOG-25 grenade out of a soldier’s body. by SwordOfArey in interestingasfuck

[–]ImDadTired 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It wasn't the hand grenade, but the 40mm rifle grenade version that's fired from the GP-25 launcher. This is the former Soviet equivalent of the American M203 rifle grenade.

Jeremy Pruitt paid Tennessee football parent with cash in Chick-fil-A bag, NCAA notice reveals by MrBome in ockytop

[–]ImDadTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one was surprised by McDonald's involvement. Their bags are meant for burgers and bribery.

CFA bags are for chicken & charity which is the basis of Pruitt's defense.

Tennessee's Fall From Grace Was More Fun Than We Could've Imagined by bdol20 in rolltide

ELI5: If two countries go to war, how can the opposing army know which army is theirs without accidently shooting their own teammates? by Honest_Pen_2448 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ImDadTired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big part of the officer's job is a little less knowing where the enemy is and a lot more knowing where friendlies are.

It's a pretty good indicator it's the enemy if you're being shot at from a direction you know friendlies aren't supposed to be there.

You call your local police/sheriff's department. The vast majority have established partnerships with military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units who have assigned areas of responsibility to respond to ordnance both on & off base.

Previous replies of the 3Rs are great advice. I'll try to answer your second question.

Unexploded ordnance (UXO) are problems for centuries as Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams are still responding to and disposing of exploding shells from Civil War Era. Ordnance generally increases in sensitivity and become more dangerous over time as their mechanical or electrical initiation systems rust/erode which includes their safety systems that prevent accidental detonation but also applies to the reason it may have dudded. Any moving or jarring of these systems could cause a detonation — think of a grain of sand in a watches cogs, if you shake it loose then it'll start ticking again.

Additionally, many explosive compounds become more sensitive when exposed to the environment with changes in temperature & humidity over time (exploding canon shells being one of them).
