I'm sorry, but not surprised you see it that way.

If i couldn't ever see things from the "other side", my discussions wouldn't be even middle school level (thanks for the compliment btw). It's because I try to see your side, then investigate the facts involved, that I can debunk it consistently.

When a 30 second google always debunks the same side of every argument, it's only rational to be extra suspicious of any statements that side makes, don't you think? It was your not just acceptance of but reveling in what you admitted were perjury and constant lies that made me give up on you. Honesty matters. You made it clear it didn't matter to you.

I'll leave the arguments about your Trump statements for another day.

Merry Xmas

Capsaicin ---from no less than Cook's Illustrated

"Milk had only a slight impact. What worked on both the skin and the mouth? Hydrogen peroxide.

It turns out that peroxide reacts with capsaicin molecules, changing their structure and rendering them incapable of bonding with our receptors. Peroxide works even better in the presence of a base like baking soda:

We found that a solution of 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide could be used to wash the affected area or as a mouthwash (swish vigorously for 30 seconds) to tone down a chile’s stinging burn to a mild warmth. (Toothpaste containing peroxide and baking soda is a somewhat less effective remedy.) Always keep peroxide, baking soda, and toothpaste away from your eyes."

It would take about 30 seconds for a 150 lb man (or woman) to hit the ground from 4,413 ft. up. Probably a lot sooner from 1,345 meters.

Listened to the first 30 seconds of the above video Bob posted and thought an fyi regarding comparative death numbers of flu vs covid-19 was appropriate.

If you counted flu deaths the same way they are counting Covid-19 deaths the yearly flu death range would be 3,448 to 15,620, NOT the 50,000+ number everyone commonly sites. See linked Scientific America article on how these numbers are reached.

Looks like the green 'walk' lamp is lit till the 30 second mark, which is right about the instant she is hit.

Out the door in under 30 seconds *promote

I admit it. Even as a muppet-fan I up-voted this within 30 seconds, but I regret nothing.

It is relatively easy to get a quite common pre 1986 machine gun.

The whole process is cheap. $200. Fill out a ATF form 4 and attach a passport sized photo. There are only a few questions to answer (that take up about 2.5 pages). This took about 30 seconds on google to find out. It is not more difficult to pass this background audit than that of a federal agent. I've looked into applying to be a federal agent and their process is an order of magnitude more stringent.

"What you, me, or others consider firearms means nothing."

You asked me what I considered a firearm. I answered both my personal opinion, and then specifically said that what the government considers a firearm to be is what it is. I'm surprised you seem to have missed this.

Registries are a step towards being able to confiscate guns en-masse. If you know who has what it is much easier to take it away from them. This sentiment is well documented on pro-gun forums.

"It doesn't take any money to ban certain firearms, certainly not a boatload"

Very true. I was tempted to point this out but I didn't. I believe that this is one of the core reasons they want to do it. It makes you think they are doing something when they aren't, and it costs sweet fuck all compared to say, spending money on anything else that will genuinely improve the average man's lot.

'your off hand assumption that, without your derisive "warning", he would be "dumb" enough to make an assumption'

Now that's the thing about warnings, you aren't assuming the behaviour of anyone. You only know it is a possibility that you don't want to happen. You don't know if it will happen or not. So you put up a warning. That's how warnings work.

But hey, this is your house right? Make no mistake, you've stamped yourself all over videosift like a dog marking its territory. Outsiders who don't comply with your way of thinking basically aren't welcome.

As interesting as it was, this was made truly great by the last 30 seconds. I now want to end all my conversations that way.

Funny? No.
Bath? No.
I'm now incredulous that it's even a sea.
Nothing seen but 5 minutes of crowded beach (and 30 seconds inside a pocket).

The Picasso 30 seconds in is the stuff of nightmares, and there are a few close contenders later.

I suddenly have a masochistic impulse to watch Ring.

It looks like geese, at the 30 second mark you can see the long neck. Gonna leave a mark considering the weight of a goose.

Lizard dies in less than 30 seconds after being named.

a precise answer for a precise society. 30 seconds to get off the train; 30 seconds to get on--at each stop.
