These are pricey, but you will be happy. Got these 4-years ago and they’re strong, soft, no holes.

Not a “known” serial killer, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this guy killed more than the one woman he ate and raped (her corpse):

Buddy of mine picked up old washers and dryers for free or close enough. Fixed and flipped 'em on eBay marketplace. Made several hundred a week.

The genius is that those appliances are easy to work on and usually have compatible parts. I went over to get a part from him and there were only 2 that fit all American washers.

I used to pick up vacuum cleaners on my paper route. Got stoned at night and cleaned them, maybe added a new belt and bag, perfect. Sold for $20 a pop. (This was in the 90s).

Another friend used to go out with her husband early on trash days and pick up free stuff by the road. Had a garage sale every Saturday, 6-7 hours tops, made $300-$400. “We take our neighbor’s trash and sell it back to them!”

It’s damned hard for a shotgun to end up useless. I restore old shotguns, have one from most decades starting in the 1890s. No matter how beat they were when they showed up, they worked just fine.

Spent a whole evening watching these videos. Surprisingly common thing.

We pulled people over with a yellow revolving light when we were dumb teens. Worked every time. We quickly got to scared to keep doing it.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can’t go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can’t jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

If you’re American, you should pull the ejection seat lever.

Until very recently, Dubai was a desert wasteland with a few Bedouin roaming about. I’m not sure what I would expect for history or tradition.

Had the same gut reaction. And I am armed and skilled. FFS, the state is going to arrest me in front of my family for this bullshit?! Hard no. I’ll turn this house into a political SPECTACLE.

You think this sort of government abuse is championed by conservatives?! How the fuck do you conclude that?!

When I had my small children this summer they were freaking out that it was a 1.2 mile hike to the creek. FFS, we started elementary gym class with a mile run, every, single day.

Don’t know where I’m going with this. Must be an old man, “Everyone’s a pussy now days”.

No. It was liberal busybodies who enabled this sort of thing to happen in the first place.

And if that statement pisses anyone off, ask yourself this: Do you think this sort of thing was championed by conservative people?

I’m liberal as hell in most opinions, but this is exactly the sort of government overreach conservatives despise.

Use a butter bell. There’s no reason to refrigerate butter.

Had no idea such a thing was possible!

It was a successful case that came at a cost. Sanders’ insurance covered the surgery itself, but she had pay $9,000 out of pocket for the implant. Her provider called the procedure “cosmetic.”

But god forbid the gubermint tell me what they’ll cover or not.

Might have been even faster if world insect populations weren’t crashing.

Yep. If a material can be converted to energy there’s something out there that’s either already eating it or is only a few mutations away.

Tell them it’s all good, the GOP is only aiming to repeal Obamacare.
