When I was little my dad was a blacksmith and a sheet metal worker. He had a close friend who was a welder and the guy’s party trick was taking pans out of the oven with his bare hands. I don’t know the temperatures involved but when I got older it always struck me as some absurd macho thing. My mom, a nurse, was horrified.

when i worked at a pizza place a couple of the managers could do this. apparently your hands just toughen up after a while

even if he didn't rent the game it wouldn't have saved his scores. i mean, if we're talking about the NES version

It's such a weird post, because why would the law work like that anywhere? It's telling you "always try to steal, either you get a free item, or you have to pay the worth of the item, like you'd bought it." OP of course does not specify the country he lives in. I assume from his behavior, he's an idiot and is confused about how law works.

probably they give you jail time or community service or whatever in addition to making you pay for the item

Kobe beef, like all japanese meat cuts, is trash and there is a considerable market in Japan for imported and alternate cut beef to escape it.

This is what the "no green m&m" rider for bands was about. That sentence was in the stage setup instructions packet which included all the safety info, so if they walked into the backstage area and saw green m&ms in the bowl they knew the fuckers didn't read it and the stage was probably unsafe

they were brown M&Ms and now van halen is going to sue you

Lol that kid basically had an exit interview with his parents. He should send them both invites to connect on LinkedIn and leave reviews for them.

Taking the deficit to $0 means paying off every treasury bond in existence, which also means giving a lot of money to China, among other countries (Japan actually owns the most US debt, which is fun to bring up when someone is raging about China). It would also have the side affect of loving with a lot of pensions and other retirement programs in addition to absolutely rocking the bond market as everyone who is paid back tries to plow that money into other investments.

Not like that's a big deal since this guy has a child's understanding of the government and how it works.

Also my favorite libertarian video about the US Debt is the cartoon that starts off with the guy's dog being repossessed by the banks or something. His cool friend arrives in a time traveling DeLorean to explain finance to him, and then halfway through suddenly robotic tentacled Rothschild family crests attack. Just a totally abrupt transition into thinly veiled anti-Semitism.

what i always do is i say, the debt is a trillion-dollar bet that china has made, that our country will be a going concern until those t-bills mature. so why is that bad? and no one can answer me

also i enjoy pointing out that some of the biggest holders of our deficit are american citizens

There’s a risk of water exploding in your face if it’s been microwaved. But I’m not sure how likely that is.

you have to have a perfectly, *perfectly* smooth surface, so that the water gets boiling hot but doesn't actually boil because there's no place for a bubble to form. and then when you touch the water it can suddenly form bubbles and BLAM!

anyway it's not real likely to happen outside of a laboratory

and where do they even learn this poo poo, or fail to learn it rather

like, when i was a kid, whenever i'd ask my mom to do some poo poo that i could do myself, she'd say "do it yourself, your arms and legs ain't broken" (with the corollary, "...but they could be", left unspoken), and so i learned to do poo poo for myself. like pouring a bowl of loving cereal, for example

Depends. Some parents, even progressive ones, just can't be bothered teaching boys (and sometimes girls) how to do anything, assuming they will always have A Woman To Do It For Them. Others just go straight from 'You're too young, you'll just screw it up' to 'You're old enough by now that you should already know this' without anything in between.

well if i responded to "do it yourself" with "but i don't know how", my parents would've shown me how. unless i was claiming i didn't know how to pour a bowl of cereal or something; that would've just gotten me an rear end whipping

I still remember how well into middle school mom refused to let me run the washing machine because I wasn't old enough. Then one day she told me to run a load of laundry. I asked how to use the washer and I got yelled at and grounded for backtalk and refusing to do my chores because I was old enough to know how to do laundry. This comes up in the estranged parents thread a fair bit.

i got tired of waiting for mom to wash my clothes one time so i figured, well how hard can it be, you put in the clothes and soap and you press a button. so i washed my own clothes, right

mom was so stoked that i had done this, that that was it; i was washing my own clothes from then on. there was no way i could have let her down after that
