Definitely use a safety when present, but some guns intended for everyday carry do not have traditional safety switches. They rely on trigger and/or grip safeties to reduce the chance of negligent discharge.

Don’t be discouraged if you look for a safety and can’t find it. Just obey the other rules of firearm safety to minimize (because you’ll never truly eliminate) the risk of injury.

An insurance organization operated for the benefit of the insured gives value. An insurance organization run for the benefit of investors gives the barest minimum (or less) to the insured and takes lives in the name of profits.

I let my Prime expire three days ago, yet they still upgraded me last night. I’ve already downgraded. We’ll see if it continues to badger me to upgrade like it has the past couple months.

I’ve been dog sitting for my parents lately and I feel bad for their old lab. She is so snuggle deprived that she wedged herself precariously between my girlfriend and me on my loveseat and just stayed with her head buried in the cushions and back legs on the floor for thirty minutes.

My parents love their dogs, but they don’t let them on the furniture and they are too old to get down on the floor and snuggle with them.

I don’t think the “don’t change horse mid-stream” argument would help much with Trump. Pretty sure only his base believes he has a spine enough to lead through a significant conflict.

You’re right to hesitate. I’ve seen it in older novels (70s and 80s) as a euphemism for sex or a woman’s genitalia (woman -> cunt -> cunny).

Former NC Governor Roy Cooper is running for Thillis’ seat. He was pretty well respected for getting us through Covid and being a reasonable voice against a hostile state legislature. I hope his popularity and general public sentiment against this administration are enough to win the seat

…Him?

Maybe they’re counting all the times people told Alexa/Siri, etc to go fuck themselves?

I know it’s not generally a good idea to click a rando’s Dropbox link, but in case you dislike the Guardian, here is the link to the drop that the article includes

This is fun for poly people as well. Both of my partners like big bearded guys, so they’ve started calling us their bearems (bear harems).

For me, the value add of Plex is their maintenance and support of the apps on various platforms and the authentication and connection management. I do have my server port forwarded, so there’s no reason for them to handle my media streams. Being able to tell a new user that all they need to do is download an app from a trusted app repository and create a free account so I can invite them to my libraries is a super simple experience for most skill levels and well worth the $60 or so I spent on a lifetime Plex pass over a decade ago.

I get that there are use cases where it makes more sense to go with a completely free solution like JellyFin, but many critics of Plex act like ALL they are doing is serving user-supplied media on a web server, and that’s a gross misrepresentation of their offering.

I don’t love the IPTV stuff that they do, but it’s not that difficult to tweak the current app so that only my libraries are shown. Compared to an experience like my smart TV which is shoving ads down my throat and adding steps to get to the apps I want, it’s an experience I can live with if it keeps Plex in the black.

I think the text is cut from a longer form document. The author may have been declaring the abbreviation for use in the rest of the text.

This is from the show The Mandalorian. IIRC, Mando is transporting this reptilian female alien and her unfertilized eggs back to her husband so he can fertilize them and continue their family line.

The “weird green dog” refers to Baby Yoda (Grogu), who shows intelligence similar to a human toddler and eats several of the eggs throughout the episode.

This is played for laughs in the episode despite being pretty fucked up when you think about it.

They still had to launch the play to get it to flop and collect the insurance. I feel like that’s an important distinction here. We never even got to see if the movie had any redeeming value before WB canned it.
