Moving is what got you.

The boy with psychic powers (of whom we are all very fond) that rules Canada is the source of immortality. You've moved from his sphere of influence.

Lord, I had a cheap PA system for band practice with a blue power LED that felt like it was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

So I put some duct tape on it.

Then it felt like the light from under the duct was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

That's a pretty optimistic future considering current Detroit.

That's like free beer for your dog or kitchen stove. Here in Idaho, we try not to anthropomorphize our property.

As someone with a doctorate in Metaphysics from the Universal Life Church, I concur.

Wait till they find out how hard it is to get a hair cut once "mobilized".

It often appears that way in children, but obviously isn't an actual indicator of intelligence.

ADD discussions are full of the self diagnosed and people who are in wildly different positions on the ADD scale. Naturally a lot of people look for identity and it's a thing to latch onto.

So you were told you were smart constantly as a kid, or you have some ADD features and get the whole "ADD is my super power" people.

Some with ADD also get that impulsivity issue around other people and make themselves look like bigger jackasses than they generally are.

as usual everyone having guns isn't like makeing the place more safe.

If anything it's more like injecting an unknown number of dangerous wildcards into an already dangerous situation.

Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?

Speaking independently of the story- Not very by comparison to firearms. Something like 50% less accurate. There's also the issue that tasers will not always incapacitate someone. That's a gamble if someone has a weapon and the range to use it.

Part of the rationale in using a firearm is the need to body someone before they can use a weapon where non lethal methods are just not as effective.

Of course, when you investigate yourself you will always find that you used your firearm in the appropriate situational context.
