What is the 41 for?

8841 is 1488 backwards. The 14 is in reference to the Fourteen Words, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children".

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:

Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

It's definitely 11/22/63.

What's your most embarrassing secret?

Corn passing through your body in 24 hours is normal. It sounds like you had the flu.

Yep, and they suck. I don't hate having to wear a uniform, it's just that the ones we have are garbage. Sizing is wildly inconsistent - I have 6 pairs of pants, all the same size as per the tags. 2 fit well, 2 are tight, 2 don't fit at all. We had a couple batches where the lettering on the shirts came off the first time they were washed. City employee, so obviously they were purchased from the lowest bidder.

Bacteria are significantly more successful than insects.

Insects may be the most successful form of *multicellular* life.

I suspect I've put entirely too much effort into looking into this nonsense. More effort than it deserves certainly.

But thank you for doing it

Theres more logical reasons to believe than not to. Do you believe it to be more logical that an infinite series of random events created the conditions for life as we know it, or can you accept the possibility that a creator fashioned the universe as he saw fit?

That's the opposite of logic. Assuming a supernatural force did anything is illogical. By that train of thought, is it more likely that a cool rock I found outside was fashioned by an unknowable, supernatural being instead of millions or billions of years of geological processes.

Wouldn't that contradict itself as the electriccity doesn't get destroyed. If that is what you are you transcend death.

Does a lamp stay on after you pull the plug out of the wall?

Someone on this board said that they believed that nothing in the world has a real existence or something to that effect, sounds pretty nihilistic to me. If not for a higher power, what drives your need to hold yourself accountable to anything or anyone? Human societal structures or governing entities?

But that wasn't the person you were responding to. Morality holds me accountable. I don't need sky daddy to tell me what is right or wrong to know what is right or wrong, and if you *do*, that's a pretty alarming thing to admit.

Its convenient to live this way, without a sense of accountability for ones actions, but is nihilism really the answer?

Where did you get the idea that a lack of belief in a higher power equals a lack of accountability for one's actions, or that it equals nihilism?

Tastes good

Give me the money. Tank is going to be nothing but trouble. Nowhere to park it, probably can't legally operate it, I'd have to pay to maintain it... No thanks.

No one knows shit until you kick the bucket.

This is such a silly rationalization. Nobody knows what will happen if you plucked every individual hair out of your head, wove it into a blanket, and used it to swaddle a newborn aardvark under a full moon in July standing in the center of a circle of 1983 Ford F150s either. But it's almost certainly nothing, and believing it is or could something just because you can't *prove* it's nothing, is silliness.

The breakfast burritos are such a sleeper hit. I love them.

Our cops may not kill people as much as yours, but they still rampantly abuse their power

My thoughts exactly.

"Hi TheMaddenDude, how is your morning going?"

"They're flirting with me."

I work along side them pretty frequently (paramedic). For the most part, the interactions are good. Every once in a while you run into one on a power trip, or gets a kick out of being a dick, or thinks that their job is more important than mine (wants us to stick around so they can issue a ticket instead of us taking someone injured to the hospital).

Like every other profession, there are good ones and bad ones. The problem with policing is the protection of the bad ones.

But I am sure you are not alone. 100% Sure.

We're all alone together.

I work rotating shifts in healthcare, never get enough sleep, and probably drink too much.

Eh.

I suggest just using a wishing well. No gift registry. That tells the guests that you are only looking for cash gifts.

I've never heard of wishing well, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Congrats! Simple wedding, or a big one? How much is it setting you back?

Thanks friend. About 100 guests. Going to cost about 30k CAD. It's an absolute scam.

Engaged, getting married in August.

Send more paramedics

You keep me out of this.

It's inherently kind of absurd and I don't really disagree, hence the topic title. At minimum I wouldn't use steel bbs ever again

Please just don't use anything. Plastic bbs can still injure others, especially if hit in the face without protection. Judging by your track record, the chance of this happening is significantly above zero, so just put them down for Uber safety of yourself and those around you.

I raised both hands at once, somehow got them out of sync, and fired early. We're talking some dumb shit

That literally doesn't make sense unless you were being negligently dumb. You're right, you shouldn't own anything that fires projectiles, you clearly can't be trusted with them.
