    I haven't thought about this one yet, but I will. But I remember when I was in school. And the teacher told us that in a class of ~35 students, the odds that two of the kids had the same birthday were quite high. (I don't remember the exact number, but I want to say that it was somewhere around 30% or so.). Which seems much higher than expected.

    A rose by any other name...I don't give a red rolling rat's ass what they want to call it, in an age where we are falling farther and farther behind other first world nations in educating our children, we do not have the time, money or effort to put into this horseshit and people who wish to teach it, should be taken out behind the schoolboard building and horsewhipped.

    @Horace said in Hatchet Man: @89th said in Hatchet Man: @George-K said in Hatchet Man: https://twitter.com/shanermurph/status/1537108242345742343?s=20&t=IOf92vUV5ndt7rsfStm7ag Some observations: If the guy wanted to hurt the cop, he could've just crushed him with his car. Weird. The cop was lucky the guy had an issue putting the car in park at first. That bought the cop a few seconds. Great reaction speed by the cop. You can tell it took 10-20 seconds for the adrenaline rush to impact his speech, he even said "don't fire!" about 30 seconds later, which made no sense since the guy was on the ground grunting to breathe. Tough to be a police officer these days, I can't imagine the constant stress of a threat being anywhere. Yep. I assume I’m not the only one who watched that video thinking about ways in which the cop could be blamed for unnecessary use of force. Crazy people do crazy things. Do not try rational thought with them, you'll be very disappointed. And hurt. Standard training is that if somebody is coming at you with a lethal weapon - and a hatchet is certainly a lethal weapon, probably better than a knife (takes less skill to kill you) - you negate the threat. That's a fancy term for you shoot the perp, and you continue to shoot until he is no longer a threat to you or anybody else. In this case, the only excessive force would be if he continued to shoot the man after he lay on the ground.

    @Mik said in Scammy McScamface: I’ve had good luck on FB marketplace. Have you shipped stuff? How does that work. On eBay it's pretty transparent. I assume the process is pretty much the same - buyer pays, you get funded the cost + shipping and off you go, right? However, calculating shipping costs is up to the seller. I've only done local sales, meeting in a safe spot, etc.
