I am not a lawyer and I don’t do this kind of work myself, but I am a little familiar with the procedures for human studies: even under those standards, I don’t think it would be illegal. The person whose behavior is being studied is the one who’s commissioned the recording. You’d have to get something in writing, but…

I am not normally a blackout drunk (I occasionally lost seconds or minutes, never hours) but I have been a heavy drinker in the past and have been around them many times. The amount their behavior changes varies a lot from person to person. The majority are exactly what you’d expect: they’re clearly inebriated, can’t…

Without any independent knowledge, I guarantee you that’s a thing.

How does one not know if their teenage child knows how to drive a manual?

I don’t even understand how that would work: it takes my mailman all day to do his route right now. Twice as many carriers?

CCR always cross posts events to my local (ETR). I haven’t been to one yet, but I appreciate the invitation.

RallyX drivers are loads of fun. All they really want to do is drive fast and get dirty. And if you show any interest in doing the same, they’ll do whatever they can do drag you out there! Incredibly helpful group, too: I was looking at a beater that I didn’t want to insure, and I had three different offers to trailer…

400 lb-ft? I’d just use an impact wrench at that point!

Milwaukee drills are great. A machinist friend of mine picked up a Hole Hawg for like a hundred bucks at an auction a couple years ago. The casing is a little beat up and the transmission needed to be rebuilt, but it’s also $300 brand new. They have so much torque that they can lift you up off the ground if the bit…

Shit... you’re right about rethinking it, and I hate that my first thought was that it would be so inconvenient because I use it so much.

“While he was coaching a youth soccer match today, Mr. Yeatman ― a Netflix kids’ programming executive ― was approached by a stranger who did not identify herself or explain her connection to Danny Masterson,” the statement read. “Mr. Yeatman’s comments were careless, uninformed and do not represent the views of the…

I will not judge you by your indirect association through food. I will judge you for eating Big Macs when there are so many superior burger options readily available these days, but only mildly because I have my own id-driven crap food loves.

Mat 19:24, for reference.

It’s probably not productive antagonizing them like that, but since I’m not convinced you’d get any further being polite, you might as well amuse yourself!

A truly maddening thing is that the other senator from Iowa is a woman (and a horrible person, but w/e) and the state has a rich history of producing badass women. Just a few:

The puritanical, “earned” it attitude is so deeply ingrained in our society

Not disagreeing. Just want to attach some numbers.
