What do you think about Breed Specific Legislation, i.e. laws passed to control certain dogs (e.g. Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers) deemed more dangerous than others?

Burned out at age 34, single, no kids, and considering quitting job and taking a 2-3 year vacation abroad to study and clear my head (have a decent amount of savings stashed up, and also hold the other nation’s citizenship, but would have a very hard time finding a job there)

You awaken to the zombie apocalypse. Fortunately, the Melee Weapon Truck just happens to be driving past your house right now. As a first time customer, you are allowed to select one complimentary melee weapon, on the condition that it will be collected from your dead body after you are murdered by zombies, or whoever, likely in short time.

What would you like?

Obscure history poll: At a May 1941 Madison Square Garden rally of the isolationist America First organization, keynote speakers included Charles Lindbergh. Some reporters and historians have claimed that Lindbergh (in the dark suit) was caught on camera returning [a Nazi salute](https://portside.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/American_Fascism_6_America_First.jpeg) to elements in the audience. Do you agree?

Regarding this:

> [@POLL: How do you pronounce the word "mushy"?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-how-do-you-pronounce-the-word-mushy/959716):

> As in this sentence: “If you boil macaroni too long, it will get mushy.” [poll](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-how-do-you-pronounce-the-word-mushy/959716/1) This word turns up a lot in the many cooking shows and YouTube cooking videos that I watch.

Do you suspect that the salute @Jackmannii referenced in his above poll was perhaps a [Bellamy salute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute), which the hand over heart replaced in 1942?

You volunteer for a science experiment, and you’re led into a plexiglass room with nothing but a comfortable chair, bottled water, and a bar on the wall. When you get bored you eventually deduce that pressing the bar releases a kitten into the room with you.

How many times do you press the bar?

If you chose “So many times they have to stop me” do you **really** like kittens or are you trying to figure out how many kittens the experiment has sourced?
