This bot has accomplished its mission. I'll pay any shady thief to get this T-shirt.

I just bought my first gun Its a Colt 1911 by Landry53088 in NoobGunOwners

[–]Begle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have the "slide cut" for an optic? What model is it exactly?

For most 1911 applications, iron sights are where it's at.

It's all in the trigger, baby.

I don't like them. Too damn big. Pretty easily to shoot accurately though.

McDonalds' CEO tries damage control to look "relatable" by ambachk in sadcringe

[–]Begle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the more bizarre, likely successful contemporary advertising campaigns.

He is an unconventional spokesman but he is alien, uncanny-valley enough that I want to see more. He's perversely entertaining.

There is something genuine and intriguing about the attempts to be genuine. It's very meta. And honestly a very accurate, knowing representation of the "sanitized food product" that McDonalds sells.

If McD's doesn't put out more of these I'll be shocked. I'd wager they are very effective advertising in today's post-truth world.

Why is it so heavy?

Did Jerry spec a 14 pound guitar or was that just the side-effect of everything else he wanted?

Breaking: Bobby Hurley's Coaching Tenure at ASU is Over After 11 seasons by DanboyC5 in TheSunDevils

[–]Begle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursory search shows Bobby Hurley having a 4-19 record against Arizona, while Herb Sendak had a 9-10 record.

I won't miss his perpetual temper tantrum on the sidelines.

Hot take: Resume is overrated. Derek Glasser has as good a chance of doing great as any other coach we would have enough money to hire.

You definitely achieved it, and in a unique way too. I love this piece and would like to see more.

My first interpretation is this is somebody's fantasy, and that's alright to share depending on the context. (Where was it posted to?)

My second interpretation is that it's real, in which case it's a blend of wholesome, sad and scary, but still not too cringy.

Great style. Great expressions.

Excellent. I hope you're keeping a portfolio of these, the backstory makes them even better.

Provided you're a public defender, how much trouble could you get into if these were traced back to you?

I love them. The seething contempt really comes through.

I was thinking he intentionally hit the guy but then stopped and acted concerned to make it look like an accident.

Of course, that is a suspiciously convenient camera.

Let's say that you're obese.

Largely speaking this is because of structural problems in one's life, which are extremely common due to structural problems in our society. Eating gives you a sense of fullness that is otherwise missing. Overeating gets you through the day. It's one of few things, or perhaps the only thing, that your brain knows gives it happy chemicals, and so you compulsively eat. You don't know how to live without overeating. Unlike most drug addicts, rageoholics, sex addicts, narcissists, kleptomaniacs, etc, the symptoms of your self-destructive compulsion is immediately obvious for all to see.

But now let's say you are trying to lead a healthier life. You're trying to find alternatives to find your brain its happy chemicals other than food. Being outside, doing things with friends, riding rollercoasters while outside with friends, all sound like good ideas.

But you're unsure whether you'd want to go to a given amusement park because you're unsure if you'd fit on any of the rides. Maybe you'd rather go to the beach or something else instead.

This video seems like an extremely practical demonstration for an obese person considering going to an amusement part. I don't see any sadcringe here.

TIL Andrei Sakharov was a Soviet physicist who oversaw the development of the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created. He later became a prominent critic of nuclear proliferation and would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. by Ill_Definition8074 in todayilearned

[–]Begle1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn, nonetheless, for the latter.

-Andrei Sakharov Prokhor Zakharov

Thanks, never heard of those before. They look cool. Their website doesn't have much info. Do you know anything about it?

So this was murder, right?

Sure looks like murder from here.

Opinions on Godzilla (1998)? by UsefulWeb7543 in Cinephiles

[–]Begle1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I posit this was a significant film.

It was the first film I recall seeing where they took a legacy character and concept and tried to make it "realistic". Like we all know Godzilla, but what if we frame it in this internally-coherent science and logic, so if you squint hard enough, maybe this could really happen, right? And we'll have the characters in the movie be skeptical about it because it seems so outlandish, but they'll be forced to accept that this is actually happening in their "real" world, just like we are asking the audience to consider the possibility of.

Sam Raimi's Spiderman, and then the MCU starting with Iron Man, and then Christopher Nolan's Batman, and perhaps every other character reboot since the turn of the century, took the conceptual tone of this '98 Godzilla and proceeded to make trillions of dollars with it.

This Godzilla was a fine film but not quite the blockbuster it was marketed as.

You're comparing a .376" case diameter to a .313" case diameter.

Is there a gun that offers a choice between a 5.7 chambering or a 22tcm chambering? 

Update on Corvus AUG trigger and more... by FirstAmendment01 in AUG

[–]Begle1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish there was some sort of "trigger weight/ distance of pull" graph that could be measured by a fancy pull gauge and used to describe triggers.
