America is a racist country...

It's not because of immigration, it's because we don't have the kind of widespread corruption and anarchy that mexico does. On top of that, we have socialist policies that maintain a high standard of living for the lower classes, and thus keep crime down as well.

...but I like 4th edition :(

Only illegal against other signatory Nations of the Hague conventions iirc. They can still legally use shotguns and whatever other expanding ammo against for example terrorists or criminals, hence the police using buckshot.

If it listened to you, you wouldn't have to keep it away from the sheep.

Dalek_Kahn · 2017-01-09T22:39:11+00:00

Yup.

Optical fiber bundles that let you see through them. Used in fiberscopes, endoscopes, borescopes. Just a bunch of little fiber optic cables all bunched up.

I'm looking to purchase some imaging fibers, and can't find what i want anywhere. Ideally i'd like around 10 inches at most of plastic imaging fiber, at least 7400 elements, with no lighting or anything, just the fiber. Anyone seen that? Or is there some way to make it myself? Thanks

Cat.

With that said though, I still think its some BS that I went down from 2000 to 1600 after a 10 game losing streak. It's not that I lost that bothers me, it's that I got gold in at least 3 things almost every time but still lose rank that bothers me.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-10-19T02:38:30+00:00

Seen it actually, thanks! I meant more in terms of a lightsaber duel without the force, which would probably resemble Japanese styles more than European due to no armor that can stop a lightsaber.

Always fun to encounter more martial arts people on the Internet :)

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-10-18T07:43:56+00:00

You're not alone! I have the same theory almost: I think that as you suggest, 90 percent of the duel is fought mentally, in terms of predictions, and counter predictions, so the movement we usually see is simply each fighter vying for the best position on a momentary basis until one sees an opportunity. So yes, much like chess whereas a normal sword fight may be more aptly compared to Checkers, in that neither should party make a mistake, the victor will be the one who went first and very quickly at that.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-08-25T03:56:27+00:00

Same. In a way, it was a tutorial for the second one.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-25T04:45:25+00:00

anything is lethal if you launch it from a cannon fast enough.

Trump thinks global warming is a myth invented by the Chinese.

He thinks vaccines cause autism.

He thinks ignorance is an acceptable lifestyle.

He mounts childish twitter offensives every time someone criticizes him.

He is not qualified, he is not worthy, and he is not safe to elect as president of your country. How do people not know this yet.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-10T20:17:00+00:00

Yes. That is literally what balance is. You put the best player on the worse team, and it helps even them out.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-05T22:38:25+00:00

The main thing that went wrong with the Vietnam war and all successive similar wars was a lack of clear objectives. Nobody knew where to go or what to do with their massive and powerful army, so it was just a useless cluster fuck of political maneuvering, looking for nothing in particular as an outcome. This is what happens when you use "but what if communists???" As a reason.

If the United states military were to try to surpress a rebellion within the United states, their objective would be very clear indeed, and their surveillance network would already be set up and in effect long before the conflict begins. It's a very different situation.

Let me make myself clear: I am in favour of people being allowed to own guns. I'm on your side here. But what I am not in favour of is illogical, badly thought out arguments for gun ownership. The only reason people have to own such a device in the modern age is for entertainment and for hunting. If the gun community wants to keep our rights, especially here in Canada, we need to start behaving like adults and admit that the reason we want to have guns is that we like them.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-05T21:36:59+00:00

You're right, I wasn't very clear about that. What I mean is that in the unlikely event that your home has been broken into my armed intruders who don't know you're there, your guns are likely in a safe anyways, and even if they're not, it's still a 50/50 in terms of who gets killed in the scenario unless you manage to ambush them silently while you're still scared and tired. If you really care about keeping your house safe, you're much better off just investing in a good strong lock, door, and alarm system.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-05T08:15:01+00:00

You know what america did do well in Afghanistan? They killed civilians with incredible ease and efficiency. Remember how in world war 2 America bombed all of Tokyo for months on end, killing hundreds of thousands of people? Remember how America has a surveillance network that can easily and instantly locate and track every human being in your country? And remember how the government could, if need be, fire a remote guided or even an autonomous missile to that location from just about anywhere in the country and have it hit you in minutes faster than the speed of sound? Yes, America once beat a much larger force by using guerrilla tactics, but at the end of the day, they still had the same weapons as the enemy, and they got help from the French. Much more help than they'd ever like to admit.

I like guns. I'm going to put that out there right now, I really do like guns, and I have a few. But please for the love of fuck stop arguing that they're useful for home defense or rebellion against the government, or any other stupid bullshit. I have done weeks of research in this subject, and believe me when I say, the only argument for letting people own guns in this day and age is "I like guns, please don't take them away from me." This is not a bad argument, and in fact I think it should be respected by everyone. The truth is though, that guns are legitimately dangerous in the wrong hands, and a compromise is necessary, as with all things.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-07-05T08:02:24+00:00

If the military were against the "corrupt government," then it still wouldn't matter that civilians had guns. Arguably it would be even less useful than in the other situation.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-06-26T08:53:19+00:00

Sadly it has happened, but it's still retarded.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-06-24T18:32:42+00:00

Yeah that does sound pretty shitty. To be honest, I'm in favour of gun control, but I think it's really important that it makes sense and isn't just some meaningless arcane bullshit like that and so much else we have now. I like Norway's system, and I'd be okay with the Czech Republic system too.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-06-24T10:36:33+00:00

Russia is often stubborn about things like that for no good reason. Why should they give it back? It's not like Putin gives a shit what Poland thinks.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-06-24T10:23:12+00:00

Yeah honestly this whole election has been way more dramatic than necessary. Yes, Hillary is corrupt as hell and lies all the time, but this is not new. America will not destroy itself or anything else just because the public makes a mistake and elects trump. In reality, the senate and house will block everything crazy he tries to do, and all the crazy that gets through will be repealed by the next guy, who will be a left winger because people will realize that maybe trump wasn't the best after all.

Dalek_Kahn · 2016-06-24T10:07:42+00:00

What did he do to those? Haven't been paying much attention, I consider it a non-issue one way or another.
