If we ever get terrestrial radiotrophes en masse, at that point… at that point, I blame the 5G.

Yep. To attempt to tl:dr;

Shaheds are more like cheap, slow, cruise missiles, tomahawks.

They’re meant for attacking stationary or very nearly stationary targets, on the ground.

Not interception of in flight aircraft.

Its… possible that this was essentially an ATC vectoring failure … because there is no monolithic ATC in an active war zone.

He really did just like… essentially commit / attempt to commit infanticide, knowingly, multiple times, after being told not to, in the episode with the frog lady.

Its like how in the Wonder Woman 84 movie… yeah she functionally just raped a guy who was under mind control, mind control that she caused.

Just… lemme help folks out with the corpo speak here.

‘leading-end’

Ok now watch this ->

‘lead-ending’

I regret to inform this variant/iteration of Rei that her mother simply didn’t appear to do much raising of any kind.

Somebody has been playing the clown in SS13 for perhaps a bit too long.

It’s… it’s become method acting.

We are not safe

… his retort to Stavros clowning on him about not getting his dick sucked was essentially:

Do I get my dick sucked?

… dude why are we talking about this? So anyway…

He also claimed he did not need to shower, because he does not smell because he is not fat.

… dude is literally the uber basement dweller, it… it sounds like you’re describing a fantastical stereotype when you just run through things he seems to think are totally normal.

If one is said to ‘wax lyrical’, would this not carry forward to ‘wane gibbous’, meaning to gibber as an ape?

Yeah, precisely.

There are actually quite a lot of regulations, in not all, but a lot of US states, that mandate varying levels of safe storage of firearms.

The problem is that to actually enforce that fully, you’d basically need surprise food inspectors, but for guns… which would probably run into the 4th Amendment… or, you’d have to actually revamp the 2nd Ammendment to mandate that people be required to regularly retake/retest on some kind of firearm safety course… I dunno.

But yeah, an actually responsible gun owner… probably has something like a dedicated sand bucket to point a semi auto weapon into, while they are verifying that its fully unloaded and cleared, juuuuust in case some kind of uncommanded discharge happens when you’re racking the slide to get the (potentially) chambered round out.

And yeah, never sweep anybody (or a place where anybody could be, within a mile) even with a gun you personally just unloaded. Never finger a trigger when you don’t need to. You just don’t do that.

I would at least say its possible the dog discharged the weapon, but it doesn’t matter, the situation where that is a thing that can happen should never have been allowed to arise… and yeah, the situations you describe that lead to an ND occuring are much more likely.

Here’s an attempt at another one.

If you have a short sentence that tells a tale, but has been through a few rounds of ‘telephone’…

… perhaps what you have is a quip of Theseus.

A modern upgrade to the ancient metaphor/philosophical quandary.

Still as apt, but probably more broadly relatable, at least to us veteran navigators that sail the digital seas.

… Maybe a good name for a repair shop or right to repair advocacy org, something with Theseus in it somewhere.

Lol, like a self inflicted ‘aim to wound, not to maim’ kind of injury, to stage a crime or get out of combat… hahaha!

You know I never actually þought about þat, but yeah, I don’t þink I’ve ever actually seen or shot .22lr þat was anything other þan lead.

Presumably somebody does or has at least tried to make a jacketed .22lr? Or maybe þat’s basically why .17hmr and such exist?

Yes, like you here, prominently displaying your lack of understanding of ballistics, to great effect, for no apparent reason.

I mean… yeah… I guess it could have… you could have shot your own pc… as a stunt… to clout farm… on reddit… for… 0 monetary gain… at the loss of thousands of dollars of… pc hardware.

Yep.

That’s… possible.

I guess.

Why is that incredible?

The shot hit a PC.

After going through the walls of at least one house.

Bullets lose a significant amount of velocity when they blow through or get deflected by various materials.

After going some distance, then through a few walls, and then a gaming PC, it is totally possible that a bit of matress and/or pillow could take its remaining velocity down to zero, if it was basically a non rifle or lower velocity round, 9mm, .22lr, 380 acp, something like that.

They also claim that the police are reconstructing the bullet trajectory here, and have supplied pics of the busted pc, and bullet.

Not saying this all means its 100% verified totally true, but its definitely plausible.

Looks like a banged up 9mm or 380 ACP to me, given this is a woman reporting this, and women generally have smaller hands than men. That slug is way too big to be a .22lr though.

RIP, random battlestation, you served the prime directive:

For a gamer to game, they must actually be alive, above all else.

May Theseus grant you new life.

He’s both.

He got lost in the sauce a long time ago, he’s got no real self at this point.

He is the living embodiment of schrodinger’s asshole.

He’s not an enigma. He’s an unlikeable asshat who is far more clever than he is wise.

Yeah, I did know that the OLED variant does have a slightly larger capacity battery and a tweaked bit of the … basically the power management component/system in the mobo… and yeah, it has slightly different internal dimensions and layout in some respects, I’ve had to pick between OLED and LED variants for a few aftermarket upgrade kits I’ve gotten.

I just did not realize the LCD was also touchscreen, derp.

But yes, broadly speaking, very very similar in all other respects.

Oh!

I did not know that.
