Ah this explains it. The full sentence was “2001.” I guess next time I need to make an actual sentence. Thanks! TIL

Yes!! I don’t care how common it was, transparent purple rocked.

2001. Sooooo many great games and movies released then, and the 90s left a great catalog of both.

Edit: I started my comment with “2001” but it only says “1.” When I view it? Maybe a bug in my client.

I’m at the point in my life that staying home is luxurious. Home or bust!

This was part of the Marvel Civil War comic storyline

I totally agree with your Ziploc bag analogy lol. If the only concern was reducing lead exposure, I bet just a plastic bag would be enough. However, if we are only talking about using the weapon and bringing it home, does storage really matter? If the particles are all over your clothes, you are just dragging that lead everywhere.

I’m thinking it’s more to do with what one of the other commenters said, lack of storage suggests a certain attitude. If you’re not storing it, you are probably moving it around the house, cleaning it on the table, etc. So maybe both groups of people have the same amount of lead on their weapon, but the storage group takes it straight to the gun safe instead of leaving it in their pants and letting it sprinkle heavy metal surprises around the house?

Yeah I think this is part of it. I think it has less to do with the storage and more to do with the other activities. Maybe someone who doesn’t lock up their gun is more likely to clean it on the kitchen table, for example

Interesting take. That’s not the conclusion that they’re drawing but it’s certainly possible. I also want to know the mechanism for the increased lead levels. Are kids chewing on the bullets? Is lead somehow deposited in the home?

Edit: I read it again and I feel like something is still missing. Firing a gun leads to lead particles on clothing that come back home. But lack of storage leads to more lead in the children. If you don’t store your gun, are you waving it around your house? Firing it in the basement?

Wow memory unlocked. I vividly remember that set

I hate how much sense this makes. Well, I guess the original is meant to be satire in real life so whatever

So your point about adapters is legit. That concept should be simple but I guess there isn’t much demand for it.

That said, I think you’ll have a much better experience with a raspberry pi. You don’t even need a bleeding edge model, I have a great desktop experience with a raspberry pi 4 model B with 4GB ram. Looks like currently $120 for 4GB ram, $170 for 8GB ram in the US. Not great prices but probably the best deal you could find and probably worth not buying 3x $40 adapters. If you need a temporary PC replacement for mostly web browsing, I recommend giving it a try.

Ah that makes sense. Never would have guessed that detergent was the signal of choice lol

What does that mean?

How is there no dirty window between the camera and the sky? I’ve never had a clear window while flying
