So uh, what do you think the Cl in NaCl stands for?

What's worse is the fact that 85% of those exorbitant bills are either substantial overcharging to game the insurance system, or costs associated with paying entire departments of people at the provider whose job is to figure out how to get insurance to pay them for procedures.

Our oppressive healthcare costs are entirely the fault of the private insurance industry, and the corrupt politicians who accept bribes to keep it that way.

Depends on whether she raises her head.

As pictured:

  • Depending on the ammunition, her ass jiggles either sightly or substantially
  • Her hat is probably displaced
  • She wishes she had doubled up on hearing protection

Lots of things could go wrong here but him pulling the trigger from this position is relatively tame. Stupid as fuck, but tame.

She will feel no effect from the barrel heating up as the other commenter said, for two reasons.

First, one shot doesn't really do much to the barrel temperature - you'd need multiple shots in relatively rapid succession (i.e. several within a few minutes) for the barrel to start getting uncomfortably warm.

Second, the barrel isn't resting on her gluteal cleft; the receiver is. This part of the rifle is designed to be held.

Surely you know there are other options than just "fedora" or "yarmulke."

Belief has nothing to do with anything. The resolution that granted Texas membership into the Union allowed for Texas to divide itself into five separate States, but not to leave the Union.

The implication is that a phone number is still required, you just no longer have to share that with the people you communicate with.

Walmart is the only place where I've been stopped during the checkout process because the camera system thinks I'm stealing.

I'm a nerd that tries to minmax my self checkout by putting items in the cart or handbasket in a manner conducive to efficient removal. I'll position the cart on my left, scanner in front, bags on right, and go as fast as the scanner will register the barcode and display the item on screen.

This works wonderfully everywhere else and I find it rather fun. I can count on Walmart to flag me at least once every trip (even though I slow down there for this reason), with the screen showing the flashing "POSSIBLE THEFT" message and video of me swiping an item quickly across the reader.

Maybe I should start parking the cart in the middle of the pathway like every other Walmart shopper and taking twenty seconds to dig every item out of the bottom of the cart before meandering around looking for where I set down the handheld scanner.
