One of the funniest ads I ever received was a Hot women in Ada, KS are looking for you.

Ada, KS has a population of maybe 86 people. I doubt many of them look anything like the busty female pictured in the ad. I would suspect they would be tepid females at most. And I know they would not be looking for me.

"That's all for today.

"Tune in tomorrow for the further adventures of Hombre Mañana!!!!"

but you know better... smdh

No, I don't. I've just been witness to seemingly impenetrable setups destroyed by the very apes they were specifically designed to thwart.

It is impossible to make anything idiot-proof, because all that does is encourage Nature to produce a better idiot.

I'm older than dirt. I started out with stone tools back in the Neolithic.

I now use magical things known as Ryobi and Milwaukee. They make noise. They throw pretty sparks. They are faster than stone tools. I still use fire to put metal back together though.

You think crackheads care about their hearing? /s

I have watched copper thieves operate in broad daylight using very loud portable cutters. No one cared. They care even less after dark.

So they're perpetually approximately thirty-nine years old, female, and Chinese. /s

There are such things as portable devices on which people can transport outdoors. So he can still skate outdoors.

It is a play on words. Have someone explain to you what play means in this context. Also have them explain to you what words means also.

Thief sees this setup. Proceeds to cut hole in opposite side of pole.

I can see someone just cutting a circle around it leaving the puck intact. You don't need the whole plate off to yank wire, just a hole large enough to insert a hook or vise-grip pliers.

Three seconds with a grinder and they're standard slotted, if not outright decapitated instead.

So you also admit you lack reading comprehension. You're just full of deficiencies.

Now do Jared Kushner.

And when you do, take into consideration the multi-billion dollar discretionary fund account the Saudis set up for him -and him alone -to use as he pleases.

Dude, your reply is as lame as your self-awareness.

You declared someone's physical hobby was somehow proof of their deficiency in formal education. All you did was prove you are incapable of drawing accurate conclusions from presented facts. I have to wonder what level of education you think bicyclists, race car drivers, and kite flyers have obtained because by your mental illogic, their hobbies also indicate their highest level of matriculation.

The US is a net exporter of diesel. There's no need for our government to buy any from any other country.

But, this isn't about fuel supply issues. This is about TraitorTang selling out the US because he likes the taste of Putin's dick.

Higher education isn't a requirement for having common sense.

Maybe you should get outside and do some skating. Physical activity can do wonders for improving a person's mental acuity.

If your cat thinks it can get on top of that table, it will.

You might want to add a low barrier to the table using sheets of tempered glass.

You could source pre-fab solutions like the two below. I've used Amazon as a source of examples. Most any box hardware store will have shelving like what I've used as examples.

For each end of your table: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085FWTQV5/

For the front: https://www.amazon.com/JQK-Bathroom-Floating-Stainless-TGS201L16-CH/dp/B0BZPK4JRR

Depending on the dimensions of your table, you could buy a set of shelves like what's in the link below, using slightly less than the width of your table for the length of the set of shelves, then use a combination of mounting hardware sourced separately to frame the tabletop. This would only work if the length of the table is slightly longer than a multiple of the width of the table. https://www.amazon.com/HUZJIEHUI-10-30-Tempered-Rectangle/dp/B0D86QQ2ZD/

You can buy the metal mounts by themselves to hold the pieces. I suggest installing corner mounts where your front pieces meet your side pieces for added sturdiness.

You might be able to find a supplier of tempered glass shelving locally. Search for retail glass display shelves and your locale. This option would allow you the most flexibility for the height of your barrier and getting one single long piece for the front of your table.

You might be tempted to go with plate glass instead of tempered, but don't. It would create a major hazard if it were to be shattered.

Also, there is museum-quality mounting material that you can use to secure the bases of your pieces to the tabletop. It's recommended for use if you live in an earthquake-prone area. It is applied to the base of an object to secure it to the shelf it sits on, but still allows for removal later.

You could use clear silicone sealant (sparingly) if you fit your tabletop with a piece of glass. This would allow you to light your display and still provide stability to your pieces. The downside of using any stickum is that you can't easily reorganize your display without peeling the old fixative and applying new each time you want to move a piece.

There's a lot of communication happening between the two performers by way of each of their exaggerated movements. They're also relying on the musical cues to know when to initiate each step of the performance.

If you watch it several times, you'll see that the foot-tapping and other actions are separated by beats of the performer holding a momentary stationary pose in between.

Plus, the poles are intentionally made to look wobbly to enhance the illusion. IIRC, there used to be hidden accomplices under the stage floor who kept the poles securely upright when the performers landed on them. They would also pull pegs that secured the poles allowing them to fall. The golden fabric hides the modern mechanisms that are utilized at the appropriate time.

I'm sure the two acrobats practiced this many times safely on the ground long before the poles were added to the routine.

It's not 100% safe, but it's not nearly as chaotic as it is intended to appear.

It's fun to watch due to the performers displaying an impressive combination of physical strength and acrobatic talent. It's great entertainment.

Glass windows were cased in iron frames to protect them. Hence iron clothes provided the best protection to someone made of glass. /s

Really, you can't apply logic to the mindset of someone suffering mental illness. Their narrative is indicative of the way their mind is perceiving the world.

Communicating with them using their world's references can help guide them within reality. It doesn't require that you believe their delusion to do so.

I wonder how an iron suit would help and why no one could touch him

The iron suit likely provided him mental comfort, reducing the anxiety he felt.

Not touching the king was likely just general protocol, not something put into practice as a result of his condition.

We touch glass all the time and it doesn’t break.

Modern glass is more consistently annealed than glass made in the past, which makes it more durable.

Glassmaking technology has been lost and relearned many times throughout history. Before Venetian glassmaking techniques spread from the Italian States to the rest of Europe, the type of glass made in Europe was mostly Crown Glass which saw limited use due to its expense.

What's interesting is that Glass Delusion appeared in Europe starting around the same time the glassmaking artisans settled on the island of Murano. It seemed to dissipate once glass went from being something extremely rare and expensive to something highly commonplace due to manufacturing innovations during the Industrial Revolution.

Great. Now let's see how good a night's sleep people can get using suppressors to support their heads. /s

He's Buzz Lightyear and you're just a random Buzz-Killer.

Go elsewhere if you don't like it.

The Verdant Verdigris Vista.

That just looks like a piece of silicone insulation or interface from inside a shoe. Specially shaped sheets of it are used to give footwear semi-rigidity. I've also seen sheets of it used inside other apparel, like work gloves and purse forms.

Honestly, other than its fragrance, it is a rather unremarkable piece of material. It has hundreds of utilitarian uses.

Since you don't recognize the perfume, if I found that offgassing the smell of soap, I'd conclude it was deposited on my property having been discarded out of a vehicle owned by someone who marinates themselves and their possessions in perfumes.

The car looks like a '67 Chevelle 300 coupe.

Based on photos, some of them came with the chrome lettering across the back. Others came with a stretched multi-color emblem instead.

Those of us in the US who think like you are being out-shouted by the idiots who can't think.

If the people who didn't vote in the last two elections sit this one out, too, those of us who voted for sanity will face much tighter margins than you did.

All I can hope for is that all the trumptard signs disappearing from where I live means the cult is shrinking.
