    I had a bit of a traumatic incident in a McD's back in 2011. I've only eaten there once since, and that was out of necessity. It was awful.

    Last time I ate at McD's was almost a year ago when I had a bacon and egg bagel when we went to my son's band and drill competition for cadets. Regretted it for the rest of the day. Ugh...stomach was not happy with me at all.

    Myself and a friend once spent an entire night in a 24 hours McD's because we forgot to book accommodation for a trip.

    O_O

    K, this I need to hear the story on.

    I've seen two really weird things in LoL that should not work, but did in at least one instance and baffled and/or enraged me.

    Some rando on our team a few weeks ago said "fuck the meta." and did Jungle Goddamned Annie. It..should not have worked.

    It did.

    It was goddamned amazing.


    Last night, loser and I were bot lane as Sivir and Leona up against Caitlyn and Goddamned Support Teemo

    that shouldn't have worked.

    Support teemo wrecked our shit.

    Anyone can jungle. Seriously. Anyone.

    Teemo is a great support because free wards and his blind will wreck your ADCs shit if coordinated properly.

    The only problem is the usual Teemo probably of falling off late game. As support though you won't be able to split push effectively. God damn I love split push Teemo top. It is the rudest game to play.

    That being said, you can run from a machete. You can't run from a bullet.

    Eh. Most handguns used in crimes aren't particularly accurate.

    Unless the shooter is arms-length away with the gun drawn and aimed at you (in which case you're pretty fucked either way) - they are probably going to miss or at least not hit something vital.

    Much rather end up in the ER with a bullet in my ass than for getting stabbed a half dozen times or hacked at with a machete.

    the accuracy of the gun matters at ranges of 100, 200 metres

    people do suck at shooting though

    I wouldn't bet on not hitting anything vital, though

    very few parts of your body don't have anything vital in them (ass is one)

    Your chances are probably better at surviving a bullet than a few knife stabs though. Even point blank.

    Stupid question...

    I dunno if my boss is letting our clients know that I'm leaving.

    Should I let my favorite clients know directly?

    I'll just buy secondhand riot gear for home defense

    it would be worth it for the chance to maybe scare the shit out and confuse the hell out of a burglar who breaks in one night and then down the stairs comes what looks like a policeman in full gear

    just ????


    it occurred to me the other day airsoft guns would be good for home defence

    you get shot in the face with one of those and it'll at best hurt like hell and at worse blind you if you take an unlucky hit to the eyeball

    worst comes to worst they're fucking heavy and can be used as blunt objects

    doesn't your ass have arteries in it?

    no, they're in the groin - the actual groin, not your junk

    so being shot from the side, one bullet four holes, that'd be okay

    A shit .22 / .32 revolver? You aren't hitting a house at 100 meters with that thing in the best circumstances.

    I pretty much wanted you to die of an aneurism when you told us Teemo wasn't the problem in our lane. I am pretty sure this is why I don't have psychic powers.

    If we ever see a top that teemo is the perfect counter for, YOU SHOULD LET ME TEEMO. Smacking Shen around was so much fun. Im still sad that we got bounced from the Singed game. I would have made singed my prison girlfriend.

    Fun fact. For most urban drug dealer types machine guns and things are difficult to acquire. Or at the very least not worth the investment because of jail time and a possible need to throw it away forever.

    Since the discussion is about crime / being murdered, it's fair to say a .22, a .32, or a 9mm.

    i think the key here is bowen said multiple knife wounds and only one bullet wound

    multiple knife wounds is generally bad times

    a single knife wound is generally not a big deal unless it hits something vital

    Wife was watching an NCIS:LA reruns yesterday. They had a bunch of gang bangers who were showing off all the AK-47's a weapon smuggling ring got them (the entire point of the episode was to break the ring).

    Seriously. This is the US. You can buy an AK variant at just about any gun store, and it's not rocket science to modify them. Definitely easier than smuggling a crate of them into the US.

    The reason criminals rarely use those types of rifles in crimes has very little to do with availability, and more to do with the amount of heat using automatic weapons brings vs. the benefit of automatics.
