Have you ever seen those slugs? Bad ass ammo.
Used to be called "deer slugs" or "pumpkin ball"
I had some 16 gauge ones for
deer hunting 100 years ago. Basically a 2" long cylinder
of lead sticking into and out of the end of a shell.
 
That would probably even stop a bear or elephant at
close range.

Oh boo hoo that I used a crude analogy. Since you had already seen that
one you must have already seen the previous response to your false claim
that guy had a depleted taser and that the cops knew it was spent. You
like to comment about how people in law enforcement are prejudiced, but
you just can't get past your own prejudices.
 
I have spoken in the past about my issues with videos like this being
posted. People like to think that videos don't lie. That may be, but
too many people are incapable of reviewing them honestly and accurately.
You have shown yourself to be a prime example of this in your claim
that the laser was spent and that the cops knew it. The video from
which who imagined those pieces of disinformation tell a completely
different story. The taser he took from the cop was clearly fully
loaded. It's not even confusing if you watch it honestly.
 
You still can't acknowledge that you were wrong or apologize for your
false allegation about the cops. Instead, you are going to blame it on a
confusing melee. It was not confusing to me or Ed, only to you. And now
you have a bee in your bonnet about me not being nice enough when I
pointed out that you were lying.

Thank you and to all others here that mentioned my day.
 
It's a good day to be alive, still again! :)
According to the Obama White House records, I turn
age 109 in about 1.5 hours. Never thought I would live
that long and still be in good health! :)
 
Nothing special planned for today. Just a nice weather day
and I did do a bike ride along the ocean this morning. It
was a nice pre-sunrise dawn.
 
Windows open now for fresh air but will turn to AC later
as it's supposed to get up to 93F later. uggghh
 
No special meal planned but I did come up with a first
early meal. Scrambled eggs and toast.
 
Towards evening, I'll cook something good but still don't
know what. I rarely plans meals until an urge hits me.
 
I do have a "birthday donut" saved for today.
Like a large glazed one with white icing on top. yum

I've never been a "car" person. Just wanted something reliable
to take me to and back from anywhere.
 
The *only* one I ever saw and really desired was a used
1982 BMW 325. I almost bought it until a neighbor of mine
that owned one informed me of the very high cost of parts
and repairs here in the US.

Then a few years later I did buy a slightly used Volvo station
wagon (the smaller one) and it was pretty cool.
 
I bought it on Friday, fully insured it on Monday, and my
daughter totalled it on Tuesday. Splat!

Grilling a yogurt coating sounds a bit messy and wrong.
I would maybe grill the cauliflower then spread on the
coating afterwards?

Yet national health insurance subsidizes the many, but their
per-capita costs are much lower than ours. Are you saying
we're buying expensive face lifts and cutting-edge cancer
drugs for Medicaid patients?

Not all doctors. My husband's doctor barely breaks even in
his private practice. He lives on the proceeds of his investments.
The wife of a guy at work is a private-practice doctor and she's
not rolling in dough. Without his health insurance, they'd have
been in strife last winter when he had a heart attack shoveling
snow.

It is nice. It was mainly about putting in the work to go to
college and majoring in STEM fields. (He went far on a two-year
associate's degree.)

Same here. When I get a job, I'll get right on it and try to
finish early.
 
Funny: I've always liked to take my birthday off as a
personal day. When working for others I did that but they
would always be annoyed. I didn't get paid for it, I
didn't care either. I just wanted that day off.
 
Once I started my own business, I thought, "OK dammit,
now *I'M* the boss and no more problem taking my
birthday off from now on."
 
In the next 20 years of being self-imployed, I ended up
working on my damn birthday almost every year. I was
always in the middle of a job and taking off wouldn't have
been cool to do with the customers that just wanted me
to finish up. sigh
 
Bottom line: even when you're self-employed, you still
always have a boss - your current customer.

Most of my life I've had health insurance. Where they got me
was with the annual deductible amount and they kept raising
that every few years.
 
I've never even needed to go to a doctor very often so every
time I went, they filed the insurance. Then I would get a
letter saying "Your charge has been applied to your annual
deductible." Then I would have to pay the doctor
the full amount anyway.
 
When I became self-employed with my own policy, it started
out very reasonable. About $87 per month and $100
annual deductible per person for "subscriber and one minor."
No prescription coverage either. It was a very basic
policy with no options available.
 
12 years later it had progressively risen to $427 per month
and $750 deductible. In those 12 years, I paid them over
$45K and they never covered anything. I paid the premiums
and paid the doctors and insurance co paid for nothing.
 
That's when I quit that nonsense.
 
That's when I took a big risk and went without health
insurance for 15 years. If I could have afforded to
keep going, I would have ended up paying them probably
about $100K at my older age, plus still would have
paid the doctors as my annual deductible wasn't met.
 
Big risk but it paid off. My only doctor visit during
that time cost me $150 plus $30 prescription. I would
have had to pay that anyway.
 
Oh but then Obama care did cost me $800 per year
for not having insurance. Good plan.
Nice extra tax on the working poor.
 
Now I have Medicare. Just part A and part B. That's actually
better coverage than when I paid for private insurance.
I won't ever go for all those extra parts. That's the private
insurance companies coming back to fleece you again
and offering you all kinds of nifty deals. Bullshit!
They really are "vultures."
 
Sorry about the long post but my story is a real
"you were there" story from someone that got
screwed by our healthcare system.
 
I doubt many know about this side of the coin.

I do buy fresh kale occasionally but for a mix (with dressing)
like this product, I'd try one first to see if it's worth
making my own later. Or maybe just buying it rarely?
 
It's a commercial mix. Probably has some extra chemicals
added.

business loses to theft are not a minor issue in some
locations it can be the make or break between a profit.
 
to that business owner that loss may be what ends up
having them close up shop. if that happens the state is
out a tax-paying business, plus all the employees out a
job.
 
while i hate the idea of any society being so hard up
that people have to steal to get food you do have to have
some protections for the owners of businesses otherwise
why bother if people can just steal stuff and not expect
to be punished?
 
having actual useful welfare systems in place to make
sure people are not hungry may have made the difference
in this case whether or not the guy thought he had to
steal. i'm sure the cost of those programs per person
are much less than what it would cost to keep them in
prison...

in about a year and a half. we don't eat a lot of meat
here but today was requested to make steak, mushrooms
and onions along with baked potato and sour cream.
 
no grill here so i'll pan fry it with a little garlic
salt on each side.

he just was not coming across well to me and his
attitude was fishy and a bit incoherent as well.
the other person had the police officer there and
a lawyer representing them.
 
the lawyer was straightforward and didn't attempt
any tricks that i could tell (during jury selection).

Leo, I'm just starting to realize that I'm actually a super-fucker. As my
doctor, I want you to set up some clinical trials. Make sure the nurses
are all wearing hospital pyjamas.

I've bought the chicken and apple sausage but only when it was marked down.
Never tried it. My dad had it in the hospital. He said it was okay.
 
I had leftover pizza *yawn* Will likely have leftovers later, but not pizza.

Have to go to the post office. I get scans of my mail so I only go when
there is something we need. A good 99% of it goes straight in the bin. It's
rare to get anything of substance.

I highly doubt that. You don't even know which post office serves me! And it
couldn't possibly be replaced by then. It needs to be ordered and it takes
at least three weeks to arrive. Plus the 28th is Sunday, Pinocchio.
