23 Examples Of Dangerous But Perfectly Legal Things That People Own

Luckily we don't ban books where we live. Not yet.

Lots of problems with this notion. First, who decides what is "age approrpriate" and what isn't? Second, kids are different - what may be appropriate for one kid, may be inappropriate for another, so where do you draw the line? Third, wouldn't turning a book into a "forbidden fruit" actually make it more desirable? (and the list goes on)

That's a tough one. While part of me agrees, I also I feel like there could be some problems when it comes to teenage audiences. Who is to decide what books are considered age appropriate? This is an issue in some schools in the U.S. where LGBTQIA+ literature is getting banned because some parent associations complain that it's not appropriate and then get the book banned for everyone. Some children and teens may be able to handle more difficult subjects matter than their peers and they shouldn't be banned from reading literature. However, I do believe that parents should monitor whether their child is ready to handle a book that contains subject matter that may be much more mature.

Facts. They’re afraid of facts.

I literally read the study guide while I was in line waiting to take the tests. I easily passed. Drivers Ed is a joke in Florida.

Most likely didn't. You only need to take it if you're under 18. If you're an adult, you just go, pass the written and practical tests, and you're good.

It was easy for me. I grew up in the country and my dad used to let me drive part way into town beginning when I was about 14. This, and always cutting the grass with a rider helped a lot. My teacher for drivers ed asked me if I grew up in the country. I asked him how he knew. He said it was because I wasn't nervous and I knew what I was doing. He said he could always tell the kids from the country.

Many didn't. Scary, ain't it!

You say that like not having a license will stop them from driving

They took a correspondence course.

Or got Dr's approval

you are implying that they ever took it....

Drivers Ed. was easy. Its Drivers Training that is a problem for some, as it involves actually driving a car

Say that again when you hit 65 years old. I dares ya.

Until it tears the second arm off as well, and then both arms are spinning around, slapping together like the lathe is applauding you for being an idiot!

Speaking from experience?

at least once anyway.

That's a silver lining if ever there was.

True, so true +1

Switching chucks can be a bear though.

Now imagine it somehow hooks onto whatever your turning so the hand repeatedly sings around, slapping you over and over like a Looney Tunes gag.

My 16yo service dog left this past year. He’d been by my side nonstop the entire time. The longest we were apart was 3 days. The vet I had only does at-home passing. She spent the better part of the day with us after arriving within 30 minutes of our call. She had the mortuary on standby, sitting in their van for 4 hours so as to not disturb our goodbyes. The entire process was beautiful & made my grief & healing that much easier. When I asked her why she does this, she had a sad, but lovely explanation. As a clinical vet she saw the worst of pet owners where neglect & abuse, no matter how subtle or unintentional, was the norm. People love their pets so much that they couldn’t fathom dragging them to a sterile, unfamiliar oft traumatic clinical environment during their last hours are pet people who’ve treated their “best friend” with the utmost love & care. Or, in other words, she went from the worst pet people to the absolute best. Which is the only way she could continue being a vet.

These kinds of vets are who you need once society collapses

I'm so sorry, here's a hug, I've gone through this shattering grief several times. Great grief is the price I'm willing to pay for the love and joy of my kitties

Excellent question. But as soon as they start using it for end of life measures, those companies will stop making it.

I’m not pro death penalty, just curious about the biology of it

They should just find a veterinarian to do it. Or just go back to the firing squad or gallows

That isn't too shockingly different from a bandsaw in that particular configuration.

My boyfriend sliced the tip of one of his fingers off on our mandolin slicer too - if I find a body with 9.2 fingerprints, how will I tell if it's you or if it's him? XD

Sliced all the way to bone on my thumb and into my nail bed. It’s still numb 2 years later. Tossed that finger eating f****r in the trash after that. lol.

You and me both. Sliced off a portion of my right thumb tip... frakkin' mandolin...
