A very cool survival rifle

survival rifle

From uncrate: The trick with survival rifles is to actually have them when it comes time to do some survivin’ — and that’s hard to do with an oversized killing machine. The Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 Rifle ($275) is a semi-automatic firearm that sports an 8-round .22 LR magazine, and features a unique design that allows the receiver and the barrel to fit inside the impact-resistant, waterproof stock, making it perfect for keeping at the ready in a bag with clothes and supplies, or for hiding at a designated spot in the wilderness for retrieval post-shit hitting the fan.

Excellent for the paranoid gun enthusiast Kool-aid drinking conspiracy theorist in all of us. Also something very cool you can pull out next time your wife has book club.

Watch it in action here.

I don’t mind zoos if they are done humanely, but I’m not sure this is an activity we need at a zoo. What’s next, bear wrestling?

How we used to die

The New England Journal of Medicine looks through 200 years of back issues to understand how we die differently.

The New England Journal of Medicine looks through 200 years of back issues to understand how we die differently.

The first thing to notice here is how much our mortality rate has dropped over the course of a century, largely due to big reductions in infectious diseases like tuberculosis and influenza.

Think about that if you are a parent thinking about not vaccinating your kids.

Karen Klein bus monitor bully video reminds me of Casey Heynes story

A video of a 68-year-old school bus monitor being mercilessly taunted by seventh-graders became a rallying point against bullies Thursday, with a fund for the New York state grandmother raising more than $400,000 and a deluge of people demanding harsh punishment for the boys. Karen Klein, 68, of Greece, N.Y., gets verbally assaulted brutally in the video below. It is hard to watch.

It reminds me of the bullying story of Casey Heynes from 2011. Remember him? He was the Australian boy who snapped and slammed his pint-sized bully to the ground after being punched in the face. Here is a painful interview with Casey where he explains the torment he endured.

I wish Karen Klein would have been able to body slam some of her abusers too. These kids deserve every bit of retaliation they get from this incident.
