LOL at sniper rifle. My iron sited ak can shoot accurate enough at 200m. Most any rifle can shoot accurately to 200m and beyond with an iron sight. Are you saying all rifles shouldn’t exist because they don’t meet your peculiar moral code on hunting?

Heh, look at that dumb barrel over there, I’m going to knock it over with my Saturn, that’ll be mildly entertaining.

Yikes. You found out!! Another giant male conspiracy to keep women down.

Manufacturers will make any damn thing that will sell. If pants with better pockets sell better, that’s what will hit the market. But bigger pockets look stupid when you cut the legs off super short. So they make tiny pockets.

Au contrare , I spent over 2 years making pizza and I basically use the same recipe, and every technique. I made a couple pizzas on the Weber grill a couple days ago using a Roberta’s dough and a ubiquitous Margherita recipe, turned out pretty good, I need to work it out a little more.

“One option offered by our researchers is for managers to rotate these sorts of tasks.” The company I work for took a different tack. All the stuff they couldn’t get volunteers for they dropped. Golf tournament...gone. Easter egg hunt for the kids...gone. Christmas party...gone. Annual bowling outing with door…

If you do this, you better be prepared to actually leave your five year old child at home alone, because if you cave and come back inside, your kid will realize you’re full of shit, and will grow even less responsive to future threats.

I tried many times over the span of a decade to quit smoking and failed. The day I started vaping - August 6, 2015 - I stopped smoking for good and haven’t wanted a cigarette since. It really was a light switch moment for me. It sounds cheesy but the sheer relief I felt knowing that I’d found a solution was huge. I…

vaping helped me quit smoking. The secret? You actually have to stop smoking cigs and just vape. It’s amazing how many people don’t do that and think it’s some kind of magic transition. You have to stop smoking.

I’m more concerned about this than about the cyberhacking angle, TBH.

1st Gear: U.S. Regulators Struggling To Decide If Authorities Should Be Able To Shut Off Self-Driving Cars

Yeah, I’ve been saying this is going to be a thing for a while now. Usually the response I get from users on this site is “That will never happen. No one is going to give them control of the cars. Stop being paranoid.”

Ha, I’ve been saying this for years. With current cars, you can go where you want when you want unless someone goes to the trouble to physically secure an area. Or maybe there is a cop standing there directing traffic.

I can see it now. “ma’am, do you know why I pulled you over?”

That, and if that exist, people will hack it and use it.
This is akin to a backdoor in an crypto-algorith. People will hack it and use it for ill means.

Only in the sense of somebody directly picking out a person photographing them with intent to embarrass can I agree with this.
Asking everybody in a lens’ frame permission beforehand would defeat the purpose of street photography and/ or documentary photography. Asking for everybody’s permission after you’re down…

Step One:  Don’t buy a smart TV.

GTFO.

Unless that Suburban has more people in it.  It was more efficient for us to drive 1,000 miles in 1 Suburban with 6 people in it than it would have been to drive with 4 people in one car and 2 in another car.  

The towel on the neck was such a game changer when I was living in South Texas and biked everywhere. I’d use an ice pack when I was especially worried about my bike helmet--my hair was turning it into a mini-oven. I had actually ditched my helmet for a while because of that and this helped bring it back.
