As a counterpoint; if you are being the armorer on a movie set and don’t know those things, then you should quit before something horrible happens.

Stupid is as stupid does.

“Some of you may die, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.”

In many (most/all?) places, you are not allowed to vote for anyone except the people listed on the ballot. Writing in their own choice would be disqualifying their own vote, so I hope millions of them do it.

As an alternate viewpoint, I had T-Mobile for years, and I couldn’t keep a phone call connected for more than 10 minutes. If I travelled across the metro area (about 600K people), the call would drop 4 times from one side of the city to the other. Since I got on Verizon, it’s been bulletproof.

There are conditional aspects to the ad-buy contracts. You only pay for the time if it’s used.

It’s so much easier to put it on a distance.youll never get it passed if it’s stupid at face value.

Also, if I co-own my house with the mortgage company until it’s paid off, does that mean my mortgage company can only write mortgages on houses within walking distance of their office? Who is walking? The CEO, the loan officer? Do they hire a speed-walker from the Olympics to increase their lending area?

Within 5 minutes based upon what? Walking, driving? What time of day? You’d have to use a distance instead.

I think that happened in one of Tom Clancy’s books. I wonder if they used the tactics from the book?

Those pictures aren’t even going to move the needle in a world with internet porn on your smartphone.

He’s a demanding fucker, G-d!

G-d? Is that some way to not write god? Does he not like that?

. . .runs the GAMUT. . .

What does that mean? Negligence is not a regional concept?
