Rules:

  1. Try to keep the political or Trump-related content to a mild torrent.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

If they see you with tin snips they'll mace you immediately for approaching with a perceived weapon. Seatbelt cutters are compact and not recognizable.

Good point

I'd take you up on that. Never had tin snippers, but even sharp gardening shears go havoc on bendy stuff that gives.
