  • Both the “locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious” person and the “gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow” person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: “The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person”. Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it’s a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn’t seem to stop people from repeating it.













  • Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

    It’s in the video, somebody linked it. He has testosterone over 1,500 and super high SHBG. He’s 31 and has never really grown a beard so it’s probably always been high. If it’s cancer then it’s a very slow one. Probably just a genetic variation that produces high SHBG and the body produces more testosterone to compensate. Hard to predict what kind of problems it might give him down the road since it’s probably rare.


  • Yeah, I was trying to think of stuff that you couldn’t really get anywhere else. Electronics is a very broad category and there’s stuff you can get from elsewhere and there’s also a bunch of important stuff you can’t get from China (you have to buy it from Taiwan instead). And you can get board games from Germany / Poland so maybe that one was dumb.

    Anyway, my point was that while China makes the best batteries, hands down, you can get the rest of the car from other places. Like Mexico, Germany or Japan. Actually China makes some very good electric engines for cars as well. But I don’t think they are selling those without the rest of the car.
