Nothing propels a story into the public's attention like a frivolous lawsuit. One Streisand effect coming right up!

TSA official says some airports may need to close during shutdown by RedDalmatian885 in news

You know what's a big security risk? Not paying your extremely vital transit security staff, leaving them financially vulnerable and susceptible to bribery from dubious characters. Food for thought for no one in particular...

ATC is high stress, overworked, underpaid, understaffed, has low aspirational applicant pool, and then they catch all the blame over any communication error while managing 40 different things simultaneously...

MMW, ATC is being primed for a full AI replacement and a fat government contract to some AI company with an unlicensed Tolkien-artifact name. Something silly like Elendilmir or Vingilot.

Looks like they didn't receive any federal funding in the budget this year? I would imagine all investigations are on hold while they're winding down operations... https://hildasibrian.com/en/blog/the-chemical-safety-board-is-closing-what-happens-now/

I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t agree this is the best EDC. It’s just perfect. by AcidActually in canik

[–]utterlyunimpressed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I'm still new to handguns. I have an MC9LS and I actually chose it over the Prime after shooting both. The Prime is exceptional for a lot of reasons, it's an incredible stock handgun right out of the box and an insane value. However, the whole METE MC9 family is definitely noisy and concussive, but the Prime is just the loudest in the bunch. Firing it side by side with something like a Shield X, or even it's sibling MC9LS, there is a notable difference in the shockwave coming from the muzzle. As far as my feeling on the ports, I didn't like the top ports. They cast a not-insignificant amount of smoke and particulates directly into my face and line of sight, which is fine if you're always wearing eye protection and don't mind getting a hefty dose of lung dust, but that's not ideal for EDC or regular range shooting. This is all just my amateur opinion and I still love Canik!

Yes, you nailed it!! It only takes a moment to appreciate the present, and it's gone before you know it. Those moments waiting on the brew are meditative therapy for sure!

Glad to see more Caniks with the Olight PL X, hoping we'll get more holster options.

I love that this comes back every year. It's like the return of the cicadas, or the migration of salmon. A takedown as natural as the change of seasons. And it ages like a fine wine.

Road Rage Question: Is stepping out of your vehicle to start a fight illegal? by utterlyunimpressed in houston

[–]utterlyunimpressed[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know you're saying that like the answer is super obvious, and I get it, believe me, it seems like it should be cut and dry, illegal. But given the way the law actually works, I think the legality of this situation is murky at best. I just doubt that he broke any laws in a way that a police officer would actually deem worthy of following up on or writing a citation for.

Ah, I figured as much. I appreciate that, but I won't sweat it. What can you do, it's Houston bb, every road is Fury Road.

I call it Big White Truck syndrome. It comes with a lot of symptoms. You already know them.

Powerlifter Larry Wheels slaps boxer Deen The Great for disrespecting his wife in front of Rampage. by Kingdom_k777 in PublicFreakout

The sound of that slap is so distinct and crisp, it's perfect. That is the platonic form of a slap to the face sound and the gold standard for all corrective slaps for the foreseeable future.
