I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed.
I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
I did half of what I wanted to do paint wise and had to get inside the house before I suffered yet another case of heat exhaustion or worse. Being Memorial day and having the Air and Sea show in town, the missus reminded me I ended up in the ER with heat poisoning during its first inception banc in ’95 and I was not to repeat the experience. I paid attention and got my butt inside and under the cold shower till I cooled off and plan to remain indoors for the rest of the daylight hours.
And just as a reminder, here is an old post about Heat-related injuries for those who may want to learn the basics on the subject.
About the cold compresses: One a top of the head, one under each armpit and one in the upper abdomen. That should bring the core temp down to control the subject till he/she can be seen by a doctor.
David “Biff Tannen” Chipman, President Biden’s nominee for director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), said at his confirming hearing Wednesday he supports banning the AR-15. Apparently they are a menace to society and integral cause of “Epidemic of Gun Violence” we are “suffering.”
This morning, I saw this tweet who threw a different perspective on the “lethality” of the rifle.
Asphyxiophilia is one of the most dangerous conditions associated to SMD and is characterized by the use of various strategies to achieve the level of oxygen depletion needed to enhance sexual arousal, such as self-strangulation, hanging, suffocation with an object like a plastic bag over the head, chest compression, use of gas or volatile solvents, or a combination of these, up to the point of loss of consciousness [5]. Participants often establish some sort of “rescue mechanism” as a safety release in case they lose consciousness. Sometimes, however, this safety release does not function correctly or the individual incorrectly measures the amount of oxygen restriction, which may lead to death or serious brain injury.
Estimates of the mortality rate of autoerotic asphyxia range from 250 to 1000 deaths per year in the United States.
Well, ain’t that a geographical oddity? For the past 5 years, murders by hands, feet and other body parts run an average of twice of all kinds of rifles. Kinda consistent theme since I started this blog.
Now, if we really want to combat violence, we need to pass commonsense legislation restricting the ownership of the implements that kill twice as many people as “assault weapons.” How about a ban on two hands? Nobody needs two hands, really. One hand is good enough for self defense and two hands can be used to hit really fast, automatic beatings need to be regulated!
So, We need mandatory hand amputation but let’s call it Hand Buyback and we give everybody free Obamacare and a $50 Gift card from CVS pharmacy.
I am pretty sure the moment you realized you caught the ‘Rona, it meant that whatever self-created contagion protocol proved itself to be a failure. And then you got the vaccine, but still keep strapping your face like you were a comedy show’s first time dad changing diapers for the first time.
This has nothing to do with epidemiologic safety and all to do with ritualism as a way to cope with whatever anxiety these people are experiencing. This is not “Science” but First World Voodo or Santeria. The rabbit’s foot and four leaf clover have been substitute by a mask and googles and put on full display to prove to the masses they are following a higher call and they are morally superior than anybody else.
They will eventually find another “blankie” to hold on to when this one gets too embarrassing to keep using. This is deeper than just the virus and no vaccine can be developed for it.
What I thought was going to be an easy 2-3 day job ended up taking 8 days, six of them actual work and 2 waiting for a replacement part for the HLVP kit. Some small repairs fixing a couple of decorative in the wood. Some boards were loose in a couple of places and that was done quick with screws.
The previously painted deck will need a retouch because Low Pressure or not, I managed to get speckles of white paint on it. In my defense, we had 20-30 mph breezes all week yesterday that screwed the pooch, but kept the heat down. This week? Damn, it is Florida all right. I figure it will take me an hour to re-paint it and, voila!
I will be officially done with the rear of the house tomorrow and other than water the lawn a bit (It has not rained squat!) nobody is allowed to go in the back till the Real State agent starts showing the house. Pigeons will be met with extreme prejudice.
Front of the house this weekend since the missus will lend a hand and all the smarts. Hopefully next week I get to work and finish inside where the AC is a blessing.
An Atlanta mayoral candidate who voted to defund millions of dollars from the local police department’s budget reportedly had his car stolen by a group of young thieves this week.
City Council Member Antonio Brown had just gotten out of his white Mercedes coupe to speak to fellow community leader Ben Norman in northwest Atlanta’s Dixie Hills community Wednesday when he spotted four or five kids — the youngest only 6 or 7, WAGA-TV reported.
