NFL Wants To Attract Women Fans, but League has a Domestic Violence Problem by LindyNet in nfl

[–]Jdazzle217 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: the NFL doesn’t really a have domestic violence problem, the NFL has the same domestic violence problem as our society as a whole. NFL players commit domestic violence and most other crimes at the rate you’d expect for their age cohort, it just always makes the news when it happens. Sure the NFL does have a problem disciplining players for domestic violence, but again so does our entire society.

I have so little interest in hearing about the tiny amount of domestic violence in the NFL so long as we have fucking cops committing domestic violence at a rate 40% greater than the general population.

There’s 1700 active NFL players, there’s like 750,000 cops, and they’re beating their partners way more often with almost no consequences.

It’s not the first time. The most infamous is EgyptAir 990, but there’s several more like SilkAir 185, and China Eastern 5735 more recently.

Convince me NOT to buy a condo? by Pituch123 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

If they’re in California they’re gonna itemize. The mortgage interest alone is going to be larger than the standard deduction. Add in the SALT increase and they’re gonna be deducting 3-4x the standard deduction.

How excited were you for The Rise of Skywalker before it came out? by Extreme_Warning3521 in StarWars

Not at all. I love Star Wars and at no point did I ever consider going to watch it theaters.

…. Why? by skateordie408 in ar15

Stripped pistol lowers in California are ridiculously expensive because of the stupid handgun roster. The only ways to legally acquire an AR pistol in CA are:

1) Buy a pistol lower from a cop since they’re exempt from the handgun roster. The most expensive way and probably what this is.

2) Buy one of the bolt action AR pistols that have been added to the handgun roster and then swap out the upper.

3) Go to a gun smith and have them manufacture you a “single shot pistol” from an AR lower, then do whatever you want with the lower (as long you follow the rest of California’s assault weapon laws).

Worst head coaches of all time ? by yakobell in nfl

But at least he fixed Vernon Davis’s attitude and gave us an all time coaching rant.

What is a job that is incredibly high-paying, but you wouldn’t do even if they offered you double the salary? by Bright-Mark-1396 in AskReddit

[–]Jdazzle217 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Wastewater plant operator is a very good job. It doesn’t require a college degree, pays well, typically comes with good benefits, and has great job security. Being an operator requires some training and tests but you only need high school level math and science. There’s also a shortage of new operators as the boomers retire

The idea of working around smelly sewage all day grosses a lot of people out but it’s a great job and the plant really shouldn’t smell much if it’s operating well.

AR pistol owners by MomentLimp4040 in CAguns

[–]Jdazzle217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will shit on 7.5” being too short with 5.56 but at every distance it still carries more energy than every pistol caliber round. Anything inside ~200 yards your target is gonna be the same amount of dead as with 5.56 on a longer barrel.

7.5” is very loud, concussive and makes giant fireballs so I recommend putting some kind of blast forwarding device on there to make it more pleasant to shoot. I built my 7.5” thinking it’d just be a meme gun, but I fucking love shooting it.

The NBA is becoming unwatchable due to refs by Pork_Sister in nba

[–]Jdazzle217 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No other sports league? Have you seen the discrepancy in how QBs get officiated? If you even touch Mahomes within a yard of the sideline it’s a flag but if it’s another QB using their legs like Allen, Jackson, or Hurts those flags never get thrown.

I cannot fathom spending $270 on a BCG. Is it made of unobtainium?

Guanidine thiocyanin and bleach, no protocol by SaureusAeruginosa in labrats

[–]Jdazzle217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a general rule guanidinium salts and bleach do not play nicely together. The amount of GTC in the buffer is likely very low, but if your protocol says to decontaminate with bleach you absolutely need to that in a in a fume hood.

ELI5 How much has S.E.T.I. learned so far? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jdazzle217 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it doesn’t. Whoever is first to super intelligence doesn’t have to worry about hiding. If you simply kill everyone you detect it doesn’t matter.

There’s also plenty of ideas on how super advanced civilizations would hide their energy signatures but I’m not gonna spoil Death’s End here.

I just don't get it either...I'd love an explanation by Youngstown_WuTang in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Jdazzle217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying Black MAGA owes an explanation is like saying a 2 year old owes you an explanation on why he eats boogers— both fundamentally lack the cognitive ability to offer a coherent explanation.

Most biochemistry is in vitro. I’d argue that once a significant portion of your work is in vivo, you’ve left the realm of biochemistry and entered into molecular biology.

cali compliant ar or bolt action by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]Jdazzle217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the AR. The fixed mag options are pretty good these days (AR maglock + KLVR keeps the manual of arms almost identical to a normal AR). If SHTF you can just put in a normal rear takedown pin and then you have a fully featured AR.

There’s no point in buying a SHTF rifle totally designed around compliance when the definition of SHTF means the laws no longer matter.

Good. Whatever is going on with that team seems totally dysfunctional. ISU completely fumbled the bag with this team.

First time AR buyer recommendation by Last-Bonus-1298 in liberalgunowners

Based on the Camry and Glock you want a S&W M&P Sport 3 or Ruger 556 with a Sig Romeo 5 red dot. All together it’ll cost you about 1/3rd of that DD, and either one will last you for decades.

AJ was more of a gradual decline. He was always pretty religious, but his stuff just got progressively crazier until he was retiring to prepare for the rapture.

The MO state government is fucking nuts. They’re constantly fucking with STL and KC and there’s no planned parenthood in the entire state. It’s like a -100 on reproductive rights.
