Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
You need one with a hand on the end, and the motor that drives it is strong enough to pimp slap people out of the way.
Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
The parry glyph is literally an Uno Reverse. Gold.
Don't mention your camera because they will helpfully turn it off for you or it will mysteriously get "lost" in evidence.
Let the motherfuckers find out at discovery. By then it's too late for them.
“Where are you going?”
Chaotic neutral: To a lecture on the 4th amendment.
Chaotic evil: Your mom's house.
Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
You don't want to see "over" obstacles close to your vehicle when said obstacles are in fact human beings standing in front of your car.
At parking lot speeds, 1.5 meters is also not "too late," and it certainly isn't when you are at a standstill but need to determine if it is safe to move or if there is a small person in front of your vehicle, i.e. in the school pickup line, or in a parking lot, or your own driveway.
Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
I'm with you. I want my car to have three pedals, a steering wheel, and a stick. Air conditioning, heat, and one cigarette lighter socket. That's it.

Or a hatchback or a station wagon...
Oops, nobody makes station wagons anymore. We stopped making them because, uh, people stopped buying them. Yeah, that's the ticket. People stopped buying them because we stopped making them.
This comes full circle with everyone's grandma incessantly calling every piece of software on their computer "The Microsoft."
I believe the article intended was this one:
That's still not what the headline says, but sidebar rules notwithstanding I like OP's description better. This absolutely fits the definition of "mass shooting" that is used when it's not the police doing the shooting.

I'm going to 3D print a badge and pin it to my wall, or something. Right after I finish rolling on the floor and laughing. Just give me a few minutes.
- Context: This guy creates an "angry" sub to bitch about things. Cool, cool.
- Same guy posts a couple of troll-level ranty screeds filled with nonsense and bad faith "arguments," such as they can even be considered arguments at all. W/e, that's his prerogative. However...
- Doing this in public means that this makes it to the .world front page as these things do, which invites people to comment on this silliness. Myself included.
- Jabroni gets butthurt about his opinions actually having to withstand scrutiny and then, of course, hilarity ensues.
- ...But bro is also under the impression you can't say "fuck" on the internet for some reason?
But that's not the actual headline, here. What's bats is, he actually went through and deleted pretty much every comment in that thread. Here it is.
He's, uh, really racking up the popularity.
TL;DR: User openly calls out a specific demographic (one that is prevalent on this instance, no less), is shocked when said demographic shows up, responds by throwing a tantrum and bans everyone from his playpen. Comedy gold!

Oh boy, here I go shillin' again.
I just updated my 3D printable balisong utility knife so hard that it wound up with a new name.
As usual, you get the brief version here. Massive amounts of details are located, as ever, in the original post and also at the Printables link.
Want one? Of course you do. Get the files here.

As usual, since I already wrote a monumental piece on this in the other community, I'm just going to give you guys the short version. The long version is in the cross-post link above.
What it is: A 3D printable Axis lock folding knife, mechanically complete fully functional, with Penguin beak wave opener, one each. The world's finest; the world's only.
We're having great fun with this and other silly objects over on [email protected].
Jooooooin usssssss. You know you want to.

"You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!"
No, I think you will find that in fact I don't.
...when he will find himself standing in a hardware store confronted with a wall of bird feeding accessories. This is, I'm told, some kind of twisted coming of age thing. Up until now you've thought about two, maybe three birds in your entire life. Tops. But then, bang: Suddenly the topic of a bird feeder is vitally important. It's serious business.
There's a snag, though.
"What about this?" She'll ask. "It's so cute, like a little tiny house. And it's only $14.97!" It's not even sold yet and you can see it's already falling apart. The wood's split, and clearly nobody taught the children in that sweatshop how a square works. Or a clamp. There's a gold sticker on the bottom, half peeling off. It says 'Made In China.'
"Come on, I could make that in about 10 minutes with crap I have lying around my workshop."
"Yes, dear," your wife will say, while patting your arm.
This is what 300,000 years of evolution has brought us. Countless generations worth of genetic fine-tuning, passed down through mitochondrial DNA, veritably ensured the delivery of that precise response. The woman has watched you rebuild transmissions, heft Labrador sized rocks over your head, and replaster the entire house. But this, this thing consisting of no more than five ratty planks of wood, elicits a sarcastic "yes, dear."
This is it, isn't it? Men, Mars. Women, Venus. Every single one of those dumbass 1950's stand-up routines, distilled. It turns out it was all true. Well, part of it, anyway.
But some things are a matter of principle.
This is a bird feed suet cake holder I literally made out of offcuts and random crap I had lying around on my workbench, in ten minutes. Using nothing -- nothing, I say -- other than my compound miter saw and cordless drill. And a spot of wood filler, because there was a gnarly knot hole on the plank I wound up using on the top. It's held together with Spax screws and you could probably also use it as a jack stand for a bus.
Parameters drafted: Zero. Measurements made: Zero. Components purchased: Zero. And spending $14.97 on a ramshackle piece of shit? Studiously avoided.
That's right, "Velcro" is a verb now.
I was on a three day adventure ride this week. These fuckers kept wanting to come undone, but firmly stick themselves to the lining on the inside of my sleeves instead. This is deeply irritating.
In keeping with my usual tradition of harping on about the dumb shit I design and slap up on Printables:
https://www.printables.com/model/862518-cat-shelf-bracket-for-smartykat-paw-perch-or-build
These brackets solve a specific, but major, usability issue with the aforementioned brand and model of cat accessory widely sold at Walmart, Amazon, Chewy, Pet Smart, etc.
Conversely, there's nothing stopping you from screwing your own piece of wood to the top of a pair of these and arriving at roughly the same result without shelling out 30 of your hard earned Washingtons.
Cat tax paid:
Pop!
I'll bet you a nickel I'll never pull this off again.

A Very Specific Object. You may or may not recall from my post a couple of days ago about the surprisingly competent (and very cheap) Jin Jun Lang JL-13A that one of its points of incompetence was a design that allows the latch to strike the blade, like so:
Well, sure I put a stop to that.
This half-gram piece of plastic slots right into the handle like so:
And means the latch will only swing in a 180 degree arc such that it stops just short of the tip of the blade.
It works the other way, too.

Adverse possession requires someone to use the land in an exclusive and conspicuous manner for an extended period of time without the owner challenging them on it.
They are literally challenging SpaceX on it, right now at this very moment. That's the entire point.
