Almost no gun that might be involved in a school shooting is that powerful. They are almost always small, cheap, relatively low powered hand guns. To blow up a body, you need either very large or explosive projectiles. A very powerful handgun might burst a head open, a shotgun can also do that. TV and movies greatly exaggerate the power of handguns, bodies do not fly backwards, they fall forward, backward, sideways or just go limp and drop straight down if it is an "instant" kill.
And yet, you never hear of "hand guns." It is always AR- or AK- type weapons --weapons of war. And reports of necessary DNA ID testing is quite common in what are now a "mass shooting" every day. What does your research say about the type of bullets used?
Just sayin.

One local high school will be requiring all students to wear ID tags around their necks while on school property. I wonder how that is going to work.
I wonder how much of this can be in response to the guns used against them are so powerful that DNA becomes the only form of identification. Isn't that the purpose of "dog tags"?

My way goes to the home page. There I see all the sections I have subscribed to. I can click on 'watched topics' which shows me threads I'm interested in. I can peruse all the threads in any of the sections (the ones in the first page or two usually contain all the threads I haven't seen yet in a section that I'm interested in). That's what works for me. It's not the only way.
Okay, I go to "Home" then "Watched Topics (28)" and I get This thread and then one each from 2/27/23, 12/25/22, 11/15/22, 7/14/22 and so on. Not very useful.
If I go to "Newest Topics (333)," I am again overwhelmed searching for the faded out "(New)" announcements.
How is this better than the original format?
Don't get me wrong. I am coping with the new system quite well. I just don't see what was improved or why it was made more difficult.

Before you leave, have you tried logging in to uglyhedgehog.com and clicking "Newest Topics"?
As stated already many times, the forum has not changed. Only the Digest was changed.

And that makes sense to you?
Trading a short list of posts on selected Topics (that you have not read previously) for an unlimited number (many pages) of post from all Topics is desirable? And worse, does having to search for those posts which are listed periodically as "New" in very faded letters have some special attraction for you?
BTW, going to "Home" is only somewhat better in that you can select the specific Topic but still have to struggle through the tiresome search for the interspersed faded out "(New)" alert. Albeit a shortened list but must be repeated for each Topic.
None of that makes sense to me... please enlighten me.

I wish to join the "Don't Stop Now" parade. If you do, however, succumb to the foolishness, go with the thought that you will be greatly missed.

Discussions of this kind always brings to mind the "Last Two Employees" theory. The man will be there to feed the dog... and the dog will be there to stop the man from touching the machine.

There is a difference between spoken language and written language. Except for the odd colloquialisms, English speakers understand other English speakers from around the world when they speak, even if they don't follow what we would consider the rules of grammar or pronunciation. Written language is different. It has to be precise and uniform, and that's where agreed upon grammar, spelling and usage become important.
Perhaps. However, e.e.cummins comes instantly to mind but I am sure there are others if I gave it some thought... Dr. Seuss?

The purpose of language is communication. One can, of course, spend huge amounts of time discussing whether the message as intended got through or not... there is fun in that. But bottom line, however, is that form (rules) is not all that important... thee, thuh, thou should be understood by anyone with a basic command of the English language.

Yet, the eyes and the "Mona Lisa" smile" indicate what... amusement?
