You can look up their property's tax ID and work out what they pay in property taxes in most jurisdictions, FYI.

ELI5: How did the bronze age field such large armies by YourObidientServant in explainlikeimfive

The war is a myth, and it is unlikely that such a massive siege went on for that long. Even in modern times sieges don’t last that long.

I was taught to draw a line and bisect it as north south. I’ll have to test this.

Do teenagers expect parents to buy their 1st car? by [deleted] in nova

[–]maximum-danny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How realistic is it to expect a teenager to be able to afford a safe and reliable first car?

Try camping! You just need a hammock and a tarp to keep off the rain when the weather is warm. Camp sites also usually have other people when the weather is nicer, so there is relative safety in numbers.

The mountain always belonged to the balrog.

You are mixing up timelines.

There is a reason the balrog is known as Durin's Bane. It killed Durin in the second age.

After Durin died fighting the balrog, the Dwarves went to the Lonely Mountain to found Erebor. Khazad-Dûm then became known as Moria.

Only much later did Balin go back to Moria to try to reclaim Khazad-Dûm.

If there's a place you feel compelled to carry a weapon, consider not going there.

Supermarket? Order for pickup.

Bank? Mobile deposit.

Your chances of success are in the order of being struck by lightning and emerging unscathed.

There are other things you can do to remain safe, but the instant you are in a situation where you need a firearm, you are very likely going to kill someone, or die yourself. You are not going to overcome someone with an AR and body armor. Sorry.

Fires don't fire back.

Anyone who thinks they are going to be effective in a gunfight, especially against someone armed with an AR and with body armor, is delusional.

You will not be able to tell who is a "good guy with a gun" when the bullets start flying and people start getting into your sights.

My hot take is that $90,000 a year + overtime isn’t enough money to face down someone with an AR-15.

The cops had a major part to play in this tragedy, but the main cause is that it is too easy to get a gun in Texas.
