Am I the only one who read “lattice” and “lattices” as “lettuce” and “lettuces?”

I also remember punks resorting to egg whites and Elmer’s

Punks actually just did that anyway, even back when the good hairspray was still plentiful. Everyone just had their own “best” method that they swore by: egg whites, school glue, Knox gelatin, I even knew a couple of gutter punks who put their mohawks up with spray paint. I used to use an extra thick hair gel that you could only find in places where they sold hair care products for black people. I think most people probably preferred the hairdryer and AquaNet method though. It was cheap, relatively easy, and it worked.

Not a single “she’ll be right” between them. Smh.

I think I would have been a lot happier if I’d never learned that.

Glocks have some internal safety mechanisms which make them drop-safe, and which makes it basically impossible for them to go off without fully pulling the trigger, but they don’t have a manual safety that you’d flip on and off with your thumb or whatever. The main point of a traditional manual safety is to keep the gun from firing while you’re carrying it, like if you were walking through the woods and a stray branch or something pokes your holster hard enough to move the trigger, for example, the safety would prevent the gun from firing. Or on some pistols (but definitely not all pistols), the manual safety will keep it from firing if you drop it. But with pistols like Glocks which are already drop-safe, modern hard-sided Kydex holsters have made a manual safety kind of redundant because they’re molded to the exact shape of the gun and they completely enclose the trigger guard to keep out anything that might accidentally move the trigger. It’s sort of like having a hard case for your gun right on your hip. So if you’re going to carry a pistol which doesn’t have a manual safety, Kydex holsters are pretty much the only way to go.

As for manual safeties being required by law, they definitely aren’t where I live. I’ve don’t recall ever seeing a Glock with a safety. But gun laws vary a lot from state to state. If you live somewhere like California it wouldn’t surprise me if a law like that existed there, but I doubt it would most other places.

What do you think is going to get him first: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or a negligent discharge from waistband carrying a pistol which doesn’t have a manual safety?

The three original milks are evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half (or heavy cream if you’re feeling nasty), so the fourth milk could be just plain ol’ regular milk.
