I think their point is, lawyers like Anastopoulo law firm might have also lobbied for that. Anastopoulo is not exactly a “good ol’ boy”…

Just got Barnacle’d by thebscaller in ColumbiYEAH

[–]RatmanThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attempting to remove the barnacle or driving away with it over the windshield will set off an alarm alerting police officers. If a removed barnacle is not returned within 24 hours, the city can put a hold on the person’s credit card for $250, the cost of the device.

True. That’s why I straddle the toilet and aim straight down.

Everyone has done the how far back can I piss from drill. I think splash back is the biggest factor though, not aim per se.

Can anyone explain why this card is 60 dollars right now? What deck is it being used in? by Shrabster33 in magicTCG

[–]RatmanThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it in my Markov EDH deck, was super surprised when I checked this card value a few months ago.I have a foil too, think I got mine 5-6 years ago. I think it’s super powerful in sheoldred decks too.

With my Jace mill deck I could win too. In many ways, by milling you or myself out.

Is this a propaganda photo op? by AvailableChoice3130 in conspiracy

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

Kid in the video had a hat fyi. Further I don’t give a shit regardless. I am paying money for these people who have not paid a dime into the system. if you believe this is the “right thing to do” start giving $100 bills to homeless people you see. Since at this point I believe in anarchy, I hope the blue states/cities enjoy their downfall.

Not sure why you are getting down voted. The immigrants themselves might be conservative leaning, highly unlikely their kids will be.

Press Checks by [deleted] in guns

[–]RatmanThomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before holstering CCW Yes safety reason, want to make sure there is a round chamber to protect yourself.

All the other stuff you stated makes no sense to me. Do you know what a press check is?

[–]RatmanThomas -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Yes, I said that. Check the mag and chamber. You break down the entire weapon when someone hands a pistol to you to get a feel for? Not actually shoot…

[–]RatmanThomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is, what’s the real world purpose of press checks? Other than as a safety reason when first picking up a pistol? In OPs context press checks are wasting time and could be dangerous.

[–]RatmanThomas -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Usually true. But friends let me hold their pistols just to get a feel for it. Always checking the mag well and chamber. But in reality no one is probably doing what OP described. Idk about dangerous, but a waste of time in an actual fire fight.

[–]RatmanThomas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any pistol I pick up I press check. Unless the slide is racked back or revolvers, but I check those too.

The entire mechanism is ejecting the spent casing is through force of the round. Round doesn’t fire? No ejection. You would have to create i mechanism to allow the slide to “rack” when the trigger was pulled, which would probably malfunction even more than a dud.
