Looking at that video again, I can see how there was some misunderstanding with Arreola reaching over the counter and grabbing the Mentos.

Even if said officer truly believed Arreola was committing theft. Is pulling a gun on that situation necessary? I wouldn't want officers or anyone innocent to get hurt because said officers feels he/she is walking on egg shells but at the same time, there's gotta be a better logical approach to different situations.

It's not exactly a one-size-fit-all approach for every situation. Or should I be concern that if this is the officer's approach to stealing breath mint, what would his approach be to something more violent?

My friend had to hide his homosexuality until after he got his eagle. He predicted they would kick him out. He was right.

That's unfortunate. In my opinion Scouting focuses on being a good citizen, overall good person, and being respectful of others even if their beliefs are different from your own. It's part of the Scout Law. Stuff like learning outdoor skills, survival, etc. are just icing on the cake. I find it hypocritical that some leaders will deny a Scout the rank of Eagle if his stances goes against their personal beliefs.

I'm very surprised by this, considering the last I heard, the Boy Scouts were very anti-gay

In 2013 the BSA voted to allow homosexual boys into the program and I think in 2015 they voted to allow homosexual adults into the program as adult leaders.

knivesX2004 posted...

Boy scouts is a religious organization first and foremost. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been in it.

These people may be "allowed" in but I doubt all of them will be accepted.

Depends on the individuals involve. One of our adult leaders was almost denied his Eagle rank when he was a Scout in Ohio as he was borderline atheist at the time. In our local council, we don't focus on religion as much and on the Eagle character boards rarely talk about it. I doubt anyone within our council will deny a Scout his Eagle rank if he declare himself an atheist.

Scouts had girls in it back when I was in Scouts, and that was like 15-20 years ago. Y'all 'muricans are slow.

Hell. We already have girls in our Venture Crew which is co-ed. Some folks act as if this is the first time girls are joining the BSA.

I normally would ignore people raving like this even if it is a disturbance. Would I be a bit concern there might be more to the raving than just the raving? Probably yes. Would I assume their raving will lead to something more deadly? Probably not.

At first, I was thinking that maybe Thanos isn't necessarily in the wrong. Then, I realized he could just make unlimited supplies/resources with the gauntlet which makes his point almost moot.

The joys of insanity.

I feel MCU shoulda gone with the comic reason(s) that Thanos wants to cull the universe. Of course that woulda require a bit more explanation than Thanos wanting to "save" universe. I kinda thought that vision of child Gamora was actually Death.

Having read the actual comic books this is based on I knew the massive culling of the universe population was coming, I would have been pissed if it didn't happen.

I do wonder how MCU will resolve this given how it was done in the comics.

Stahp with the "approximately", there's a literal solution!

Drawing it to scale in AutoCAD? I was tempted to draw this up with the student version that I have installed. I do feel we need more information though. Hell, there's nothing confirming it is a square except for us eyeballing it and are those notches on top actually quarter marks?
---

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"

I am guessing 1/3.

I want to say where the two lines intersect is roughly 2/3 from the bottom meaning the rectangle that the shaded area is in is 2/3 of what I assume is a square. From there I bisected the shaded area in half forming two rectangles where the shaded area is half of each rectangle meaning the shaded area is half of the 2/3 thus it being 1/3.

Of course I was only assuming where the two lines intersect is 2/3 from the bottom. I'd imagine using the notches that I assume indicate the quarter marks is a more accurate approach even if we assume those notches are quarter marks.

Come to think of it, when it is a mass email to other volunteers and I am not 100% comfortable possibly leading the event, I do tend to wait and hope other volunteers chime in. Stuff like rock climbing and being a RSO I prefer just being there to assist and not lead the event.

But sometimes, I'll wait to respond if I want to check with another person, for whatever reasons. The problem is, sometimes if I wait, I'll forget about the email in question...

I do not envy my supervisor with the amount of emails he gets daily. I coulda sworn one time while talking with him in his office for a few minutes, several new emails came in.

name one highschool memory

1. Accidentally running nine laps in the 3,200 long distance event because I mistakenly thought the judge was pointing at me when he was pointing at the guy behind me who I overlapped.
2. Playing poker cards and Magic the Gathering with my friends almost everyday during lunch.
3. Playing chess with said friends during our Chess Club meeting day.
4. Playing Starcraft every Friday night with my friends.
5. Taking the various Honors and AP classes with the same group of high school friends/acquaintances.
6. Carrying a bloody 25 lb backpack because of all the Honors and AP classes books.
7. Somehow plucking my violin louder than the cellos in orchestra and everyone giving me odd looks.

Share a highschool story. A descriptive one. You will the more you start thinking about the details you can't recall actually being in highschool.

*Warning, this story is disgusting.

I remembered one cross country practice where nature called about one mile out from school. I held it as long as I could and didn't try to end my the practice early to run to the restroom. About maybe half a mile to the end of the run I ended up just going. A few fellow runners saw me and asked if I was okay. Said I was fine and awkwardly jogged the last half mile to the end before going to the restroom. I left my undergarments in the porta potty, cleaned up as best I could, and just went commando for the rest of the day.

What made it more awkward and worse was that I had orchestra practice afterwards. I spent the next hour or so sitting there uncomfortable playing my violin. If anyone noticed any odd smell, they did't comment on it.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Go for the eyes Boo! Go for the eyes!"

I am on an email list of Boy Scouts volunteers for range safety officers and BSA rock climbing instructors. For most activities outside of my troop it depends on what is involve and my schedule before I volunteer for it. Usually I give an immediate response that I am or am not available to help out but a few times I completely forget to respond and the event might be over already.

Having organized events before, I understand the frustration with people not giving you at least a simple "no" instead of not responding. I'd imagine some folks assume not responding is indirectly a "no" but from the organizer point-of-view a definite "no" is much preferred over no response.

Of course here I am the pot calling the kettle black. Maybe it is because when asked to volunteer, responding that I am not available feels a bit shameful depending on my reason(s). Still, putting off a response and completely forgetting isn't any better.

How good are you with responding to emails?

Comments are appreciated,

Thank you

Wouldnt the systems we already have in place to catch people driving drunk be effective? A breathalyzer wont show someone is high but a cop would be able to observe all the signs

That was my assumption. I honestly am not familiar enough to know how one would check and prove said person was driving under the influence of marijuana.

"You must gather your party before venturing forth"

A few folks I know are not against legalizing marijuana. They just want some system in-place to check for/catch folks who drive while high. To my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, even if one isn't under the influence at the time, it'll still be in their system for sometime later, right?

Currently on my wishlist and will probably remain so until I clear most of the 100 some games on my backlog. From what I understand of the NieR series, there's usually a dozen some endings and some of them involve replaying the game and/or deleting your save file? Not sure if I'll have the patience to spend that amount of time on one game for the full experience. Of course I say this despite having a few hundreds of hours on Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Payday 2, etc.

Any girl who cares what her parents od friends think isn't worth it imo. If she needs outside judgment to aid in her relationship decision-making, then she's not mature enough to be dating.

It may not always be about needing outside opinion on said relationship. Said person might just not want to risk burning bridges with the parents/family. One of my friends said his parents would disown him if he didn't marry a Chinese woman and knowing his parents, I don't think he was joking.

Of course, the above assume said person cares about the parents/family. I'm sure some even here on PotD couldn't care less about what their parents/family think and have already cut themselves off from their parents/family.

I had to look it up and yea, barista is basically someone who makes coffee drinks. Starbuck's barista might not go to the extent others do in other coffee shops but I do not see any inaccuracy in using that term.

So everybody who makes coffee at home is a barista.

Technically not wrong. One could have a party at home and someone could be the unofficial bartender of the party as well even though it's not really a bar. Though per the Wiki, a barista might be specially someone who prepare coffee, espresso, etc. at a coffee shop.

barista's wouldn't know how to make a proper hot tea to save their lives. They just assume you put a tea bag into hot water and call it good. Which sucks because tea shops are basically non-existent in my neck of the woods.

To be fair, to make proper tea would take some time. Not everyone going to Starbucks is going to have that time to wait.

I enjoyed the first game, although the fact that time ran to some extent even when you weren't playing made me a tad neurotic about it.

Forgot about that. I think I manually copy/pasted my previous saves each time so I'll continue where I left off. I didn't like the idea of coming home from work or from a weekend of camping and find some characters died while I was gone.

Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, and Starbucks are my go-to place for coffee and among them Dunkin Donuts is my favorite. Unfortunately Dunkin Donuts in Southern California are few and far in between.

Between McDonalds and Starbucks though, it just depends on which is less busy. I do find Starbucks convenient when I need a coffee jug to-go for a meeting of some sort. Cost $15 and can serve about a dozen cups.

If I was a regular coffee drinker I would just brew at home since that $2 cup of coffee does add up.

Despite what some of you suggested, I could not bring myself to skip the first game of the series and actually am enjoying the game a great deal now. The combat system is not as bad as it seemed when I first tried it years ago and the only nuisance is gathering herbs.

Currently I am in Chapter II so haven't made that many major decisions yet. I've read I can import my save files into Witcher II and from there into Witcher III. How much will my decisions affect the later games?

Is it kinda like the Mass Effect series where earlier decisions are lightly touched on but does not affect gameplay at all? Does having some gear imported over make the beginning of the later games easier?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you.

Pity. I understand it's part of providing a pleasant buying experience but from my experience as being a cashier at a gas station and the stories my mother and sister told me from when they were cashiers, I do wish said workers can be allowed to be honest at times without repercussion. Within reason of course.

Maybe it is a pride/ego thing but I do not like having to ask workers to locate a product. I feel like an idiot especially if they have to guide me to the aisle and section to find it. Even worse is if the product was there and I was just too blind to see it.
