The Apache revolver, popularized by French criminals in the late 1800s-early 1900s, combined a firearm with a folding knife and brass knuckles.
Two crazy Stories: A man named xiaolian grew a nose on his forehead, and a kid named Hong Hong jas 16 toes and 15 fingers.
Xiaolian lost his noses functioning ability in an accident, and long story short the forehead was rich in blood and a skin match so they were like okie.

reddit.comThe way kroger treats its employees
From the store manager
Edit: For some extra context this was sent out by each store manager to all of its employees in district 1 of the ohio Cincinnati/Dayton division, potentially other districts as well but i can only verify my own. Im not going to give my specific store number for obvious reasons but you can find each store on google with that information. We are unionized by UFCW (already bad btw) and to my knowledge they allowed this recent change. Kroger has no accrual for sick days like some have mentioned. Those who think this is rage bait, i dont think anyone has to fake a post to make a billion dollar company look bad, they do it to themselves.
Going into this debate, I already thought Karen Bass was vulnerable. I still think she’s done a weak job overall as mayor, especially when it comes to communication and projecting confidence to the public. She often comes across flat-footed during moments that require urgency, clarity, and leadership, and I genuinely thought she would be easily ousted this election cycle.
But after watching tonight’s debate, I came away thinking Bass is pretty clearly the best option out of the three people on that stage.
Spencer Pratt is good at being critical of Democratic policies, but he literally has no plan to do anything. His answer on building affordable housing was basically “go after homeless people.” Every answer revolved around getting homeless drug addicts off the street, which I absolutely agree with, but he talks as if it’s a simple issue that can be solved with a magic wand. He’s not a serious candidate, and I think he knows it.
Personally, I found myself nodding along with parts of what he was saying and appreciated the urgency he spoke with about cleaning up the streets, but what’s his actual plan? He doesn’t have one. Also, he has well-documented personal financial issues and apparently blew through $11 million in two years before getting into financial trouble. If you’re bad at managing your personal finances, why would anyone think you’re qualified to manage a city with a $14 billion budget?
As for Raman, this was my first time seeing her pressure-tested in a real debate, and I was shocked by how poorly she did. You can tell she gets easily flustered when challenged, which is a terrible trait for a politician. The clip of her saying “No” to ending LA’s needle distribution program is about to get clipped to death. Karen Bass also rightly pointed out that Raman constantly contradicts herself. She’s clearly aware of how unpopular some of her policies are with the average Angeleno, but she also doesn’t want to alienate her DSA supporters because they’re probably her only real path to winning. So she ends up saying goofy things like wanting to hire more cops while also claiming the LAPD is overfunded in the same sentence.
Based on what I saw today, Karen Bass has a pretty easy path to re-election if we’re being honest. Everyone involved should be embarrassed that Pratt and Raman were the best challengers put up against Bass. Republicans love to preach meritocracy, yet they constantly push some of the most unserious and unqualified candidates imaginable. And Raman just doesn’t have the juice, sorry. She just hasn't demonstrated that she's ideologically different enough from Karen Bass to make a difference. A great example of that was when she was citing her accomplishments to end homelessness in her district and Bass pointed out that reduction was mostly due to her Safe Inside Program. People keep comparing her to Mamdani but I don't see any of that reflected in her policies or charisma and ability to communicate a vision for LA.
In my opinion this was the strongest Version of Maul if you rewatched clone wars/rebels and shadow lord.
I’d always thought George but recently heard it was Paul. Now I’m ALL messed up…
