Nylon scrub pads (the pores are big enough that they can dry out completely in a pretty short period of time) or brushes, Steel Wool (for your less delicate items), and silicone scrubbers (a silicone pad with knobby or spiky protrusions on either or both sides). My health department actually bans sponges in…

Can’t the criteria just relate to the maximum possible rate of fire for the device, and require a special license for anything over a certain threshold? That would cover all existing weapons, AND any new weapons or mods developed to convert existing weapons. Rate of fire is the real killer, after all, nobody does a…

Then you need to work on reading comprehension a bit. Assault weapons or mods didn’t exist when the precious 2nd amendment was written. We managed just fine, until very recently, without them being in the hands of civilians, so take your simpleton “rebuttal” somewhere the level of discourse is more befitting of your…

This community, and these kids especially, want to burn it all down and start fresh, and it sounds like alot of people are willing to donate matches. How many are willing to stick around and rebuild though? Rubio is a tool, but makes a point about the assault weapons ban - manufacturers and retailers were already…

Please explain more about this tax break thing of which you speak...louder though, so my friends from Sears and Sam’s Club sitting in the back can hear you.

People should have the same issue with this as they do with the no-fly list: it’s all extra-legal malarkey. Individuals are discriminated against despite having violated no law, yet have a bunch of absurd legal hoops to jump through (that will cost them time and/or money) to correct the agency’s mistake.

How the hell are the police vetting these calls?? E911 and location data needs to be attached to these calls like ten years ago. How can a random address, ANY random address be given as the location of “hostage situation” and nobody in law enforcement does anything to try and verify it before sending armed thugs to…

Self publishing/Vanity Press seemed like the only way to go for this steaming plate of offal, really. The “alt right” have their own echo chamber going there, and there’s the added bonus of playing tricks to boost your bestseller rankings (like buying out the whole first edition run of your book so it instantly…

When I see Adam Driver’s modeling shots, I always think of the photos from the mid-70's of my parents’ guy friends and relatives. Broody, handsome, long haired (and usually mustachioed) guys who are fit, but with different proportions than today’s gymrat standard beefcake.

Maybe it’s just my own echo-chamber, but has a progressive or centrist candidate EVER cried “voter fraud” in a major election?? Odd how this seems to be a crime uniquely perpetrated upon conservatives, and yet can’t ever seem to be proven.

Horrifying. I’m not scared of much in this world or the next, but dying in a house fire is not something I would wish on even my worst enemies.

I thought the Riker Maneuver was when the Enterprise used the ram scoops to suck up flammable gases and ignite them behind while being chased? As to ramming, I think Worf attempts to ram a borg cube with his ship in First Contact, and Picard has the Picard Maneuver, which is a precision warp jump within weapons range.…

Because the system isn’t usually good at sharing information with the stranded passengers so people cling to hope that the outage will be brief and they can get on about their travel plans relatively quickly once everything is up and running again. And the thing about ATL is the damn train they use to shuttle people…

Say what you will, but Frappuccinos are somewhere between a milkshake and slurpee in terms of sugar content and flavor profile. A strong appeal from both camps, and no, most of those folks aren’t coffee drinkers. Starbucks will keep churning out the blended monstrosities mainly because the recipe is half ice, so the…

Convenient that this school board deliberation didn’t happen until after the football season was over, though the incident was in the news a month ago. I wonder how long the cops and the school sat on the report, considering this school has apparently been in the OK state championships the last few years? This…

Arizona is an unlicensed open carry state for rifles and handguns. The whole showdown was already an escalation by law enforcement. Hotel floorplans almost always allow for an approach to a room from two different directions, as well as getting officers into rooms above, below and to either side of the suspect’s room.…

Raised Roman Catholic, in my youth I had friends who were Jewish, Jain, Mormon, Lutheran, Jehovah’s Witness, Brethren and various shades of other faiths, and that bent me strongly toward agnosticism. Today, I’m an absolute atheist. Why? Evangelical Christians. There cannot exist a god who could permit or encourage…

It’s a little insane. I’m all for a plausible explanation if it happened randomly here or there, but en masse and regularly is a different story. Plus, a mail carrier has to physically walk up to the address anyway to deliver the package slip. How does it make sense to go through that effort when they could just as…

I would think a ruder (more rude?) thing to do would be to pay the settlement with a bag of loose coinage, maybe all dated 1984, or whatever the hell her album title was.

I was there at the Music Box - Jeff Sessions only wishes he were that handsome. He looks like somebody made a muppet out of an old southern dude, and stuffed it into a suit and tie.
