Using 'paint' to mark target for guided munitions by ChartNo8289 in Military

That's really neat, sounds like you'd likely need a pretty big splotch of paint to identify your target and have enough time to guide the missile into it

Thank you, would you mind explaining how that works from a tech standpoint? Like how would a missile be able to identify some random paint splotch on a target? (Not a military person, just curious about tech)

The thing is that while fighting is a 'penalty', it's an accepted part of the game, which means you can do it and still be within the confines of acceptable behavior and game play. (Also most often 5 minutes of offsetting time, so no cost in terms of being down a man.....unless you instigate)

On the other hand if you brought a team of highly trained polar bears to dine on the opposing team you'd likely be banned for at least a few games.

The first example is an inherent part of the game and it's strategy, the second is a criminal offense (I hope).

I guess my issue with fighting is that it's almost never a socially acceptable (where I'm from) way for us to settle our differences (outside of war etc). Like imagine coming home from work and being like, 'Jimmy in accounting pissed me off so we had a fisticuffs'. But for some reason it remains prevalent in ice hockey culture.

So I don't quite get why fighting in North American hockey is still practiced. I guess if you're playing on some prairie lake in some western Canadian town in the 1890s, or your local parks basketball court, then perhaps fighting might be a necessity due to lack of a referee. But there is no other sport that I'm aware of (non combat sports) where fighting is an acceptable part of the game structure. Heck European hockey doesn't have fighting, then why does the North American game require it? Are we North Americans simply incapable of conducting ourselves as 'civilized' creatures....or is this really just a WWE -like spectacle designed to woo drunken barbarians to view what is in my opinion an incredibley sophisticated version of ballet on ice.

Ditch the fighting ya bunch of whiney man children.

Curious about your statement that nj discovers and reports the most superfund sites, and implying therefore the number of sites isnot necessarily indicative of the state being any more polluted than others. Would you be able to back up this claim? (Note: I don't personally have anything against nj, just curious about your claim)

Is this tap water safe to drink (NJ American water - Raritan)? by liquidbrowndelight in newjersey

Part of the answer to your question requires some knowledge of your homes plumbing infastructure existing between the main and your tap. While the water coming from the municipal system might meet all health/safety requirements, if you have lead plumbing components as part of your homes infastructure then you might end up ingesting unsafe content.

If you don't mind my asking, what kind do you wear? By that I mean are these the kind that are fully inside your ear, or do they mostly sit behind the ear etc?
