  • One of the origin stories is that they were commanded to walk into place.

    What was likely used was rope to sway and rock the structures back and forth and "walk" them into place.

  • I'd take a union worker over a business owner any day of the week

  • Ricochet and penetration can happen even if you're on target. The thin shielding of these cameras isn't going to do much to stop a bullet. There's certainly more responsible ways of going about this.

  • Why are we giving anything from Fox News attention?

  • All the time because the Surface keyboard is a piece of shit

  • I don't think people realize the humanitarian crisis that's going to occur if the desalination plant attacks spiral any further. It'll consume not just Iran but the entire region.

  • Seriously, bands are good stuff. This is good advice and not just for running. Not only does it warm you up, but bands let you add resistance in novel ways, so you can work stabilizing muscles without heavy wear.

    Foam rollers are also great as they help prevent some of the sore/tightness that leads to you compromising on form and in turn, injuring yourself.

  • Pioneers take the arrows

    Settlers take the land

  • Our stalls wobbled because multiple people would shake the stall walls asking, "who is pooping in there" and that's about as benign of an interaction as you could pray for.

  • The goal here is to become as super-hot-precise in records requests as possible.

    Where should someone start if they want to look into their local politicians? Give us a roadmap of how you'd pull the thread?

  • I'm going to laugh when this finally comes crashing into the one toothpick holding up the economy and GPU production stops because of supply chain disruptions.

  • Funny, if you cut the hair I'd say it's Val Kilmer.

  • Next time SWAT has me barricaded in I'm gonna have to remember to just start ordering as much delivery as possible. The humming sound you can't hear but feel in your fillings is the infrasound from an approaching Amazon drone swarm delivering the 1000 lead dildos I Next Half Hour ordered.

  • Probably like watching Stavros on tour. Guy'd binge eat on 'em and then wonder why he felt nauseous.

  • In college our basement had the bench seat from a passenger van in it. Easily our best piece of furniture.

  • This was for minimum wage in 2004 at 5.15/hr and 6.15/hr if we were teaching lessons.

  • Had to jump in and put a kid back on a wall during a lesson, closest I had to doing an actual save. Also had to call 911 once, but it was for someone out of the pool. This was over a three year period, but it was a pretty small pool.

    But doing lessons there were countless times where you're righting kids floundering or helping people back to the wall, but you're already in the water and it was very hands on. Or you're a second guard and sitting on the wall observing the lesson/keeping an eye on the rest of the pool. The lowest level of swimmers especially, you're probably having to make a few assists a class.

    Surprisingly never had to do anything at a birthday party, but they were the worst simply because you'd just get a lot of wildcards you don't know and there'd be a lot to watch. The vast majority of our time was spent watching over regulars so it was pretty relaxed with regards to having to feel out the swimming ability new faces all the time.

  • It's not even barbed

  • Lifeguard at 16

    It's kinda odd, because in a lot of ways it's still the most serious job I've ever had.

    Also the least paying job I ever had. But when it was slow I was basically getting paid to do homework or do laps, and you were so bored you'd actually do it. $60 paychecks felt like such a luxury for something that fit nicely between school and sports.
