Well this is interesting

That’s usually how I do it if I’m doing a complicated eye look. Easier to clean mistakes off the eyes with skin bare, then do the face.

Now that images of the Hong Kong method have circulated widely, there is a real possibility that it will become a more mainstream way of countering police violence in the future.

They’ll have to find something else now.

How about jumbo-sized pepper-spray bombers?

Just need a wing of firefighter jets to dump water on it. And so it escalates.

I’m sure police supply companies are already working on “safe” alternatives.

Our research has shown that pepper-spray is no more harmful to human well-being than a Chalupa Supreme®.

And if someone dies it’s because of the victim’s medical problems, not because of the department’s reckless use of chemical weapons and/or chemical torture devices on civilians.

Note that the 14th Amendment is supposed to promise “equal protection,” it doesn’t try to promise there won’t be unequal attacks by the law.

And potentially your lungs. Depends on whether you’re breathing in when they spray it in your mouth.

How to propose-- a pitch deck.

Two questions:
First, how does Gabriel intend to keep this secret from Marissa, given how public he’s made this proposal.
Second, “Gabriel wishes to simultaneously propose and marry Marissa via ‘the ultimate journey to LOVE’”… Wait, are they getting married tomorrow, too? Isn’t it a little presumptuous to schedule the wedding when you haven’t even proposed yet?

the pitch deck was leaked. Or something. It’s all a bit dumb.

Another iteration of something that’s been going on since at least the 19th century.

It reminds me of promotional radio plays Hollywood actors used to do for films; they’re included as DVD extras sometimes. I have one for Lux soap which claims it’s the only soap the newly married Lauren Bacall will use to wash the laundry with.

Potential seizure warning for the bridges in the time-lapse, and the night driving-- I’m adjusting the time bar to avoid watching right now-- and the turns.

I really don’t understand the second complaint. I mean, when people are speaking English they tend to say things in English. It’s rare that I hear Mexico said the way it is in Spanish, let alone Nahuatl, and I never hear Baghdad said the way it is in Arabic. I’m not even sure what language star names like Betelgeuse or Vega should follow, originating from Arabic transliterated by people who didn’t really know Arabic.

Proxima Centauri is lucky to have a name that’s proper Latin, so yeah, we could ask everyone to switch to medieval or – if you don’t like the soft c – classical Latin pronunciation, instead of the modern English versions astronomers use. But who does such prescriptivism really help? Insisting people need to stop speaking the way they normally do and follow old rules instead doesn’t seem to have a great track record.
