Killing somebody, even in self-defense, can often be an emotional trauma, especially when, as he said under oath, he didn't want to kill anybody at all. You sound like the DOT. "If you hadn't parked in that truck parking spot in the first place, that drunk lady wouldn't have run into you." He...

That face-palm is just brutal. :tearsofjoy:

Things are not going good for the prostitution. One of the state's star witnesses today admitted that Rittenhouse had plenty of opportunities to fire his weapon, but never raised his gun to fire or fired it until a gun was pointed at Rittenhouse. That's what they call self defense. Even the...

The problem with solar on the roof is, depending on your 24 hour Ah requirements, it won't provide anywhere near the amp hours necessary to fully recharge your battery bank. And once you start charging the battery bank you need to continue the charge until the bank is fully charged, something...

Yeah, like bank robbers, rioters, insurrectionists, and drug dealers.

OK, now compare New Jersey and New Hampshire. This is fun! U.S. COVID-19 death rate by state | Statista

If we haven't learned anything in the last 5 or 6 years, the one thing we know for sure is, whatever Democrats accuse Republicans of doing, it's a stealth admission by Democrats that they themselves are already doing it or have done it. Trump colluded with Russia! Turns out, no, that was the...

I really don't want to make this about me, her, or our friendship, but no, it's not Sharon Stone. That would be great, though. :p My actress friend (Charlize Theron) played Aileen Wuornos in the movie Monster, where despite having an initial budget of $1.5 million (later investments bumped it...

It depends on the type of blanks to be fired, whether the blanks are light load, which is basically a cap gun with no wadding, a medium load with a louder bang plus some wadding, or a full load for the muzzle flash, bang, and visible recoil. But ballistic glass is virtually never set up for a...

It really doesn't. The real world ends right when the person explicitly charged enduring the safety of the gun tells the actors that it's a cold gun. In the land of make believe a cold gun isn't even a firearm, it's a hunk of metal prop. He'll likely get off, but not for that reason. He'll get...

You don't really need safety glasses when firing a cold gun. The fact that even one round of live ammunition was on set in the first place says safety protocols were not followed. A movie set is a confused mess with dozens of people wandering around. It's not even organized chaos, it's just...

My comments aren't an analysis, it's simply how things work on a movie set. I've been on a few movie sets, and am good friends for more than 20 years with an actress who won her Academy Award for playing a serial killer. Except in rare circumstances, actors aren't given instruction or training...

No. One, it's not a prop gun, it's a real gun. A prop gun cannot be loaded with anything, including blanks, dummy rounds, or live ammunition. Two, it is specifically not an actor's responsibility to inspect a weapon that they are given by the weapons experts. Weapons Masters don't know...

Something that some of us in this forum have been saying since the first numbers of the pandemic came out.

If the law is clear (it is), and the government has the constitution authority to mandate vaccines (they do), why is it even a little bit interesting that Trump appointees are ruling (they don't actually vote) with the majority since the majority are ruling on the basis of the law? I realize...

Fast That study is so politically motivated it's funny. "Better protection" does not necessarily equal "tests negative" for the virus. The study doesn't account for underlying medical conditions. The key to differentiating between infection-acquired immunity vs vaccine immunity is not whether...

Employee mindset, ignorant and unrealistic expectations. Need to do InstaCart. Joined up today just to post this. That's a Drive-By Bye Bye.

Her comments, all of them, in context, aren't particularly biased, at least not politically. She was very critical of the Left and the media for politicizing the virus from the beginning, and was downright brutal in her assessment of how the Democrats have singled out a particular group, namely...

The author of the piece did an excellent job in picking and choosing which parts of her testimony on which he wanted to report.

And don't forget that none of those studies have been certified by peer review. And they were studies about children under 12 with mild cases. Until studies are certified by peer review they are meaningless. Meanwhile, a study from Washington University in St Louis suggests (you gotta love it...
