2025 the VA is legislated out of existence. No replacement is ever proposed. Fuck our service.

I’ve been shaving my head and my balls with safety razors for like 15 years. Get some nice soap like sandalwood, cedar, lavender, frankincense, sasquatch or whatever name they’re calling it these days and make a lather on your body in the shower. A lather from actual soap is critical to avoiding nicks, cuts, and especially razor burn. Use a new blade and gently drag the razor across your skin. Use short strokes, not long passes. Clean the razor. Add more lather when needed. Don’t press hard or move the razor sideways or diagonally. That’s how you cut yourself. Watch out and take care for any bumps and rounded corners, like warts, the back of your jaw, or any sagittal crest you may have. Hold the razor with one hand and use the other to feel for hair and smoothness. Make a pass with the grain and another against the grain. Reapply lather between passes.

Maybe before you begin, shave a little hair off your arm or leg to test the angle you hold the razor. The sensation of individual hairs being cut will be tactile and satisfying. When it’s right, it’ll feel right.

Get a sharps container for used blades. It’ll take a lifetime to fill. Blades only cost like a dime, so just treat yourself and use a new one every time.

It ain’t too difficult. Just be gentle, take short and slow strokes, feel your way around, and don’t shave dry skin. You may be surprised how easy it is. They’re called safety razors for a reason.

No, they intend to kill OSHA.

Will the regulatory body be stacked with, and bribed by auto execs?

… in Minecraft!

You do not understand what you’re talking about.

Listen. We need you to shave another $0.13 off the cost of the unit. Just like, reduce the quality a bit. No end user will ever notice.

It seems that you can only think of value in terms of making a profit. But there is also great value in making something to see what is possible, regardless of profit. If you can’t see that, you’ll never make something innovative. The best a mindset like that can ever achieve is only incremental.

Nothing worth doing is ever worth doing just for money. You’ll never innovate if you never put time into projects simply for practice, or better still, enjoyment.

Well, it’s a critical text in the history of Wicca, since it began the practice of burning accused witches. It also contains a great deal of the prevailing myths of the time regarding them. Its title translates to The Hammer of Witches. Finally, besides historians, they’re some of the few people keeping the text alive in the eye of pop culture, since the church no longer wants to be openly associated with it.

Because it was the official church doctrine they used to begin persecution of anyone charged with witchcraft in the European middle ages. It didn’t simply justify all the tortures the church is famous for; it set that ball rolling as the legal document behind it all, written by a bunch of deranged zealots. It was used to genocide the native European religions and cement the power of the church. The perfection of the art of torture, all the burnings and rigged trials, all those horrors began with that book. Anytime you hear people freaking out about witches even today, anywhere, Malleus Maleficarum is the root of it all. Throughout the centuries, it shaped the brutality of European colonialism around the globe as one of the most influential books most people never heard of. Due to the extent of colonialism, it destroyed more lives and culture, and caused more agony and torment than probably any other book ever written.

It’s obscure, archaic, dogmatic, bloodthirsty, batshit legalese translated into Old English from Latin. These days it’s mostly of interest to particularly focused scholars, Wiccans, and edgy teens dipping their toes in. I wouldn’t expect it to be a good read.

For maximum WTAF, throw in Demonology by King James. Yes, that King James.

Probably the most evil book ever written.

This is how all world wars began. Major powers don’t start them with each other. That’s too dangerous. Instead they always let themselves get dragged into it by their proxy nations.

I’m including the Peloponnesian War, which tore apart the Greek empire quite similarly to WW1 & 2. It didn’t start with Athens and Sparta directly.

It would be fine to engrave the cases, but not the bullets. It would change the balance and aerodynamics, making them highly inaccurate, and that is dangerous and highly unethical.

Now if you wanted to make them underpowered or duds, I suppose there’s an argument for that. You’d have to reload them yourself though, and it’s possible you could be held liable.

Just gotta concentrate a bunch of gays in one place, and the hurricanes follow. It’s science!

I just started with PopOS a couple years ago. I’m not a power user. I’ve got one of those crappy travel printers. I think it’s Canon? I forget. It worked just fine for me.

Trump will just divert the entire military budget into his personal accounts.

Cool. I’ve already got more books than I’ll be able to finish before I die. Might as well get back into reading. Fuck those bastards.

Oh they’d crucify that dude all over again.

I remember Republicans warning in the 80s that the Russians would attack America from within. Made sense, the way the KGB operated.
