No, I think they're the one coming up a bit short on wrinkles.

Or else me and you are both failing at reading comprehension today.

It's a wee bit to the stabbers left yeah?

Runs right through the liver iirc (or is the vena cava different?)

That's a whole lot of reply for having not even read what drag said. "person independent pronoun". It's a pronoun that functions indepent of first/second/third person case.

I reckon respecting pronouns means respecting pronouns, not just the ones you approve of. You wouldn't try and tell somebody that their name or spelling thereof is wrong just because you don't like it would ya?

I've eaten several roadkill deer lol.

Limits what you can do with the meat, but it's still venison.

Cool, its objectively worse for people and society in general though.

[-] Ridgetop18 4 points 6 months ago

I don't disagree with the general premise.

But saying "this quarry hauler is only barely worse than pickup trucks" when it takes double the distance to see one...feels disingenuous. Same with the "this tractor cab has better visibility but requires a special license", yeah cause a heavy laden trailer massively increases the stopping distance and requires a more advanced skill set.

I also feel like the kinda situations where "a three year was suddenly less than 1m from my bumper with zero warning" is more of a walkability/road design/driver awareness issue than one specifically solvable by increased visibility. I'm also aware I'm no traffic safety scientist; also more visibility is of course better.

I feel like this focuses on something that's rooted more in emotion than logic or data, but there is a link between hood height and pedestrian injury severity iirc, and lowering that does increase visibility as a result.

I guess "default to assuming it's untrue" wasn't how I should've put it.

If they told me the sky was blue, I wouldn't say they're wrong but I'd probably still look up just to be sure.

Uh, no? "An eye for an eye." is old school ancient.

It was however a limiting statement. When Hammurabi made "an eye for an eye" into law, it meant you couldn't just go kill a man's entire family over losing an eye and call it justified.

Hi-Points, in my experience, are alright function wise; but are also oversized, unergonomic bricks.

[-] Ridgetop18 3 points 6 months ago

Wouldn't we all, but needs must when the devil drives.

So, considering the stranglehold the two party system has on American politics....what was the right answer?

Vote for a third party candidate, that is systemically prevented from attaining a position?

Yeah the Democratic Party is tragically obsessed with pandering to the right and holding their "moderate" position; but damage control is damage control.

Soft face is exactly what it says, it's got soft rubber faces, basically just a shrunk down rubber mallet. Use it on things you don't want to leave marks on.

Double peen is basically just a soft face except one side is like a hard epoxy like material. Harder than the rubber side, still softer than a metal head would be.
