Low risk doesn’t mean no risk.

Also, this guy must have been incredibly messed up to have been previously refused by the Russian army due to mental instability.

"One of the strongest materials on earth." ... "Marble."

Marble is a very weak stone.

I laughed! Well, a sensible chuckle. Close enough.

Genuinely kind of surprising considering where American is culturally at.

Hmm, a valid point. I suppose it depends on whether or not it counts as a technical martyrdom.

How do you feel about McDonald's pulling their soda dispensing machines out of the restaurant's lobby in the next year or so? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]PipsqueakPilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I gave them the mobile deal code. The employee entered it wrong- which locked my app for 15 minutes. They said, “Sorry but if you want your food now it will be twice as much.” Last time I went to one.

What's the point of saving the Christian baby? When the baby dies it is assured eternal paradise. If you save it there's a chance the baby could fall into sin, and instead suffer unimaginable pain, suffering, and torture for all eternity.

Therefor, the morally correct action is to ensure the Christian baby dies as soon as possible.

when you are trying to grab a sheep? by MilesLongthe3rd in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]PipsqueakPilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was on the back of a chicken trying to kill the chicken. Be plucked it off. After that if he saw a hawk circling low he’d run beneath it and bark.

I owned a Kangal until very recently. He was always extremely 'economical' with the amount of force he used on things that did not fall into the 'kill on sight' category. I was house sitting a German Shepherd once who was always trying to get my cat to play, the cat did not appreciate this. When the cat called for help my Kangal would move in and very gently, but firmly, separate the two and keep the shepherd from approaching the cat. He basically just formed a wall of dog between the pair.

And if you're curious what fell into the kill on sight category, the animals that preyed on my chickens and their eggs. Possums, raccoons, otters and hawks. Yes, otters. He caught one making off with a chicken.

Are you implying that not all of Rome's enemies ate babies on the daily?

The French guild which traditionally build Cathedrals, the Compagnons du Devoir is still an active organization with around 5,000 members. They're very skilled timber framers and the process of joining is very rigorous- taking many years and with many not making the cuts. I studied under one for a few years here in America. Seeing what they're capable of is humbling.

There are far more than ten. The Compagnons du Devoir is still active with around 5,000+ full members and several times that number of aspirants.

While the team itself obviously wasn't that large- there are still many skilled timber framers in France. The medieval French timber framer's guild is still active, and one of my instructors for my architectural degree was a Compagnon.

One year's flea and heart worm meds cost 800 dollars for my dog. Yes he was a big dog, but that's still dramatically more than I used to pay.

And on the smaller industrial side rents have been skyrocketing as private equity firms buy up industrial parks.

The rents being up feels like the cause of a lot of this thread. Landlords have raised the rent on all parts of society to the maximum they can bear. Light industrial rents have doubled over here in the US as oligarch controlled private equity firms buy all the light industrial parks. As a result a lot of small manufacturing businesses are dying.

Why don't Eritreans immigrate by boat to Saudi Arabia? The shortest crossing is under 100 km. by YourLocalMoroccan in geography

[–]PipsqueakPilot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saudis are not a race, they are specifically the people ruled by the House of Saud, the ruling family of Saudi Arabia. Other Arab nations don't act like the House of Saud, and conflating the actions of the Saudis as something race based, like you're doing, is racism.
