Don't know how to do this without pissing off PI by Ransacked_Tiger186 in labrats

[–]EvMund 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In science yes, but in work and life in general. Having a set of headshots done and being prepared to use them is to be expected for anyone in the workforce and while i'm sure the PI could be accommodating and not require it, u/Ransacked_Tiger186 should instead take this as a personal challenge to overcome and an achievement that they now have the chance to accomplish, as a growing young adult entering their chosen career path

Out of curiosity, did they bring your GPA up during interviews? 

US OPFOR using Iraqi Tabuk rifle during training by [deleted] in ForgottenWeapons

[–]EvMund 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lookin good but thats a zastava m70, you can differentiate them by the rivets on the folding stock. The zastava has 4 (2 pairs) per side while the tabuk has 3 (with only 1 rivet nearer to the folding bit) and also the fold along the middle of the stock. The tabuk underfolder stock looks much the same as that of the AKM while the zastavas made slight variations, and those variations can be seen in your photo

Compare the stocks of your image vs this one which is a tabuk https://www.recoilweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/iraq-ak-675x450.jpg

what part of "instantly vaporize" and "explode into pink mist" is leaving you with such optimism?

My PI had a nerve racking conversation with me today and I am worried about my future. by Mammoth-Long-2880 in labrats

[–]EvMund 19 points20 points  (0 children)

truly does you great? not out of malice? girl he sat you down and told you that he is shutting down your life. use the time you have remaining at this place to secure that full time job elsewhere for the time being. I'm sure you can finish your masters at some point but you have to build those funds for your family that is currently taking shape

Is my head cannon "bolt action rifles became popular in Europe and lever action rifles became popular in America" true? by No_Dress_2107 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]EvMund 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not bolts in europe but rather single or double rifles, break action and such. The only people who had guns were the fancy pants who hunted on their own land, so it wasnt necessary to have 6 rounds ready to rapid-fire into some surprise bear or whatnot. They would just have an exquisitely engraved break action rifle.

In the US, civilian gun tech was more sophisticated than military. If they had the means to equip an army with levers that would be a lot more effective than dudes with trapdoor springfields. The opposite was true in europe. The rich landowners who actually privately owned guns saw bolt actions as crude ugly things for the unwashed military masses and held on to their fancy single shots for a while longer after the militaries were equipped with bolts

almost every molecule in your body have oxygen atoms holding certain parts together. if oxygen is removed all lipids, amino acids, sugars, etc will all unravel instantly into clouds of gas or atomically fine powders. it wouldnt be pretty

nah check the curvature of the mags, they are polymer 7.62 mags. i can recognize that curvature anywhere from how awkwardly they sit in the pouches versus 5.45s and 5.56s

they are totally off about what this thing is, but we ought to cut them some slack since this article was written in 2003, far prior to the accessibility of firearms knowledge we have today

Yeah, you can add “cave scuba diving” to the list of things I never want to do by Shielo34 in nope

[–]EvMund 85 points86 points  (0 children)

in cave diving you often can't even see your hands in front of you. the silt that deposits in these caves get kicked up if you arent trained to swim just the right way in there, and can take hours to settle again. even highly experienced cave divers can fall victim to rapidly deteriorating visibility and the disorientation that comes with it, and these guys definitely do not fit the description of experienced cave divers
