1. Shoot-out at 5:30. It don't think this guy has ever fired a weapon before.

  2. Cops really should be required to do range qualifications.

  3. I'm going to say something that may shock a lot of you.

  4. To paint this as purely an Oregon (or Portland) problem is disingenuous at best. This type of fraud is happening around the country and our bureaucracy, while very dysfunctional, is no more or less "broken" than any other state. I will give red states credit for one thing: their systems aren't broken, they just don't exist because "fuck you, give my company money, that's why."

  5. Not only was Ghostbusters released before PG-13 was a thing, that scene was not in the original release. That was first returned to the film in a DVD special edition in the late 90s.

  6. Wow thats wild to know. So it kept its PG even after the sex scene was added.

  7. MPAA doesn't re-review movies, especially not for video release. I don't think they even review DTV. But also remember MPAA ratings are neither required by law (in the US) nor are they in any way scientific or even consistent - something that has gotten them in trouble and sued over several times over the years.

  8. These books are not assigned reading for school. What the OP means is that everyone in the class was reading and talking about them.

  9. They were assigned reading for me. 5th grade sounds early though, maybe 6th or 7th.

  10. Are you perhaps confusing Flowers For Algernon and Flowers in the Attic?

  11. Nope, we read them both. I distinctly remember sitting in English class and talking about the poison cookies.

  12. In a way she's right because LotR:FoR is the start of a story, not a complete story in itself.

  13. A pickup truck driver in New Mexico swerved off the highway at a high speed, crashing into a gas pump before being stopped by a metal fence. Witnesses described the driver as appearing disoriented after the accident. Upon arrival, police observed significant damage to the metal awning and a grey pickup truck.

  14. If that is word-for-word the actual reporting on this then that qualifies to be in the running for "Understatement of the Year" awards.

  15. Just because someone else wins (or is winning) it does not mean that you automatically lose. This is life, not a baseball game.

  16. Oh great... that is REALLY going to help the housing situation between 217 and Forest Grove...

  17. It looks like you are familiar with boat building based on the picture, so building a tub is the same thing except the water goes on the inside.

  18. Kinda. A canoe only sits a few inches in the water, so there's very limited pressure issues. A bathtub has a lot more water depth.

  19. A few people have mentioned ignoring the homeless, is that a major issue over there? I personally have never spoken to a homeless person over here. We have a lot of people who choose to live and sleep in caravans or 4x4s so it’s hard to tell who’s homeless and who’s just living out their hibbie lifestyle.

  20. Now that is completely unfair. There would be too many black people at a Waffle House for the GOP to hold a rally there.

  21. I went to school in the Midwest/Plains States and Portland, Oregon, and we had homeroom but it was only in elementary school. Starting in 7th grade it was just straight off the bus and in to 1st Period or hangout in the halls for a bit if you got there early.

  22. Not great. My current GP is late Millenial/early Zoomer and I started the conversation with " I need you to believe me, I am not a hypochondriac and something is WRONG." He's been pretty good since then but it is other specialists that I am having issues. Classic symptoms of certain things but I am getting dismissed because their basic detection tests are showing nothing significant.

  23. Not likely. Plastic doesn't really "burn" so much as it smolders and smells bad while it melts. Definitely not a good idea to have that stuck to the side of the cooker - especially while in operation - but the fire risk is very minimal. You'll have a bigger problem with the smell and added carcinogens.

  24. Pfft, some tuna mixed with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, egg noodles and peas? Sign me the fuck up, especially if there are potato chips to crumble on top to give it some texture.

  25. Cheese and Rice dude... Do you know how much SALT you just ate?!
