We don’t have a gun culture in Australia like the US has, and we don’t have nearly the safety training. But yeah.

Use more gun and more distance in those cases

The trouble is no one here really knows you and they can’t tell you apart from someone who would say that seriously. You even have knave in your name which matches my troll-sniffing sense

/s is there to do what tone of voice does in real life

The first low chance thing on that list that killed a person 2 degrees away from me was accidental gun discharge. It’s only so high because it’s grouped with other gun deaths, but I didn’t expect to know of someone so close with a 1 in 9288 of dying how they did

Everyone else I know who’s died used one of the top few methods (cancer, heart problems)

Ed. I read the whole list. The accidental gun shot death (caught his shotgun’s trigger on a barbed wire fence he was crossing) was the only unlikely death in my circles

Indeed

Yeah he needs a file or directory list after a space after the f

It’s an incredible task to get a whole thousand people workplace to go on strike when it’s clearly in their interests

I can’t imagine how you’d get a whole nation’s people to stay home

People seem to think that you’re saying “just like now, but tweaked”

As I see it to aim at max global profit we would need a whole different economic system, or at least a new way to direct capital at businesses toward the global max

more or less instantaneously

That’s relativity. The faster a thing goes the slower time runs for them. Photons are travelling at light speed and so they don’t experience time at all

People don’t know how to work with fire and petrol

While on a fishing camp at lake Eucumbene I watched the next camp over on their last night try to burn their remaining 2-stroke fuel

They upended the fuel tank above the fire, setting fire to the fuel tank

The man then dropped the tank and kicked it away, lighting up his shoe

His mates extinguished him

Indeed. This is not like that.

Ed after reading the earlier one

That was about a diet community banning users who were blanket down voting

This is a diet community banning users who were participating in relevant conversation about the subject because they weren’t sufficiently spiteful

You can get people to do that

That looked like vegan/vegan drama

I didn’t see any anti-vegan comment

Some of us have allergies that limit commercially prepared food in general. In a restaurant the only thing I’d dare order is steak with no sauce

I feel I would not eat in a vegan restaurant.

the conspiracy theory falsely claimed the sex ring was in a back room of the restaurant

IIRC the conspiracy theory said it was in the basement. The place has no basement. It was emblematic of the carelessness that they had for truth

Being in favour of authoritarian regimes does not make one a leftist

I’m a grower and it’s pretty easy to aim, pretty hard to sit and pee sometimes when it’s super shrunk.

Sometimes it’s just pushing the tip down a little - it’s pointed pretty right when retracted, sometimes it’s easier to just stretch my penis to give enough to get two fingers onto

Don’t worry about hurting a guy who’s a grower by asking about his penis while it’s small, maybe be boggled at how it gets so big when it’s erect when starting so tiny

The sexy fakes is from mosquitos. And they’re not sexy fakes, they’re just like the other male mozzies but sterile

Australia has only used biological control. The stuffed rabbit host of a childrens’ tv shows was named Mixie for one of the biological controls: mixomatosis - a rabbit virus used in the past.
