    Wtf even were those zombie bath salts and are they still legal

    I thought they were illegal before

    'Bath salts' is only a thing because a then-legal drug called MDPV was sold at head shops or gas stations with a 'not for human consumption' label on it.

    The 'zombie' thing was one report out of Florida of a dude biting (eating?) another dude's face while high on MDPV.

    MDPV has since been scheduled and, as there are better and more profitable illegal drugs to produce if you're already a lab producing illegal drugs, it no longer seems to be much of a thing.

    I'm a decent shot in that I understand the basics and never cared to improve beyond that

    if someone asked me to hit a target beyond 300 m I would ask for a machinegun

    if someone asked me to hit a target like that corporal in that article was bragging about, I would ask for my radio

    There is nothing like a good book that reviewers can shred into a million little pieces.

    The Passion Of Ivanka Trump
    Ivanka Trump’s new book, Women Who Work, reads like an alien who only speaks French wrote it with Google Translate.

    “We enjoyed riffing on our core values,” Ivanka writes in a section on personal mission statements. “We’re training for marathons and learning to code,” she offers randomly in middle of a paragraph about aspirations. She references the “modern, self-purchasing woman” and describes the act of “cultivating authenticity.” One chapter instructs you to ask a dozen friends to write a “narrative about a time when you were at your best.” Because Ivanka has a literal brand that sells material objects, rather than an existential (“my brand”) brand, Women Who Work also produces surrealist exercises like: “At Ivanka Trump, my team and I are striving to create the lives we want to live.” (At Katherine Miller, we are, too.)
    It is only when they are given a godawful book can reviewers let their inner snarkiness truly shine.

    Although I'd say it mitigates recoil rather than drop - it's a way to get a faster projectile without having a more powerful cartridge.

    And it might be odd to say that a faster projectile really mitigates drop. It's not like it's not just as much a factor in aiming.

    (and it would still happen at nine point eight meters per second per second)

    I think you mean 32.174 feet per second per second

    Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

    Democracy: it's not done yet I guess?

    Park's stuff was really bad. Like it also took down some of the major heads of the main Korean conglomerates like Samsung. This scandal has been brewing more than 7 months btw. That was mostly just the stuff directly with the president.

    I had the steakhouse king. It was very sauce-covered. Kind of overpowers the rest of it.

    It is only when they are given a godawful book can reviewers let their inner snarkiness truly shine.

    i guess ultimately i find it very difficult to watch an adult have a tantrum. it's stressful enough to watch a toddler have a little emotional rampage. with an adult, i'm filled with a mixture of contempt and proxy embarrassment.

    maybe i ought to be more sympathetic. some people are kind of emotionally fragile (or are going through particularly tough times that make them that way temporarily). i guess intellectually i don't feel like disdain is the right response to that. but seeing that fragility and impatience manifest in a public tantrum just makes my stomach turn.

    Yeah its hard to watch an adult throw a tantrum, especially as a parent of a young child. When my son is more balanced than you are, you got some fucking problems.

    eh

    sometimes people have bad days, maybe someone died or is in the hospital and the stress finally made them snap,

    I tend to reserve my judgement for people that have bad days constantly.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    there are a number of things a person can do to earn my sort of reflexive contempt- mistreat wait staff, glibly litter cigarette butts or tobacco spit or whatever, etc

    but i realized that none of them produce a sense of disdain as immediately or absolutely as watching someone melt down at a self-checkout terminal in a grocery store. i even sympathize with the frustration because i know the ins and outs of those machines and still sometimes get mad at them lagging behind or misinterpreting inputs. but gosh. someone just, kind of nodding their head angrily, muttering, GROWLING, i DID put it in the basket

    it's ok to be outsmarted by a machine but seeing someone out-poised, losing their minds within 3 seconds of the thing not doing what they want, brings stomach acid into my mouth

    this is unrelated to me being due at work in an hour

    I have never gotten mad at a self check out, but I do get perturbed when the register person doesn't come over to assist after like a minute of it saying it needs someone.

    garbage SCO attendants are one of god's plagues

    Like I can see if they are busy or having to help the inexplicable old person who has decided "yes today I'll conquer the machine with my produce and badly labeled foods." But a lot of the time they are chatting it up with another associate and because I'm from western washington the idea of asking them to help me is foreign so I stand there like an idiot hoping they notice the flashing light.

    my store has switched to zero notifications- no sound, no flashing light. our only sign that you need help is what's showing up on your screen or watching your body language. the idea is that by dismissing the sound that used to beep on our handhelds, we'll be forced to be more attentive and moving around. theoretically, people will no longer park at the attendant station (or worse, away from the area entirely) and just clear all problems on the handheld without personally investigating.

    in practice, people have not become more attentive and people wait longer. it's shit. possibly fixable in the long term with more strenuous training, making SCO a higher paid position so people will be motivated to work at it, etc.
    My mom (who was a merchandiser) once told the Sr. Management something and I think it applies here.

    "Your going to get about a 60% effort and 40% give a shit from some you are paying 9.50 an hour. Especially in an area where Mcdonalds is paying 13 an hour"
    "They are going to do the minimum to not get hassled by their managers, and some of them are going to come up with ways to steal from you."
    "Every employee is going to have next to 0 experience or something is going to be wrong with them."
    "Your policy isn't going to work correctly."

    they keep hiring high school kids for $8.50/hr to work in the warehouse part time here and can't figure out why no one gives a shit about doing their jobs properly
    When I was doing Millwork, My projects were on autopilot (because I'm a fucken stud like that), and I was working out their automation software, and I tried to get them to redo their cost codes, because "listen you are trying to get rid of your $25 an hour cabinet makers for $11 an hour laborers, and you expect them to utilize a cost code system that is difficult for our engineers to utilize correctly. You need to simplify this down to actions and not working on individual pieces of the cabinet, these guys aren't going to do the math for which percentage of their cutting goes to what project."
