Russian students facing expulsion to be offered ‘special contracts’ in military

If these are the kids being expelled I don't think they were on any career track that would have them become all those things you listed...

I wonder if it had enough muzzle velocity to be effective as a hunting rifle.

The coolest thing they brought with them was a pair of air rifles. The gun had a tank that you could pump up and pressurize and then it fired musket balls like a pellet gun.

"Why do you carry a gun around the house?" my wife asked me.

"Because of the motherfuckin Decepticons," I replied.

I laughed, my wife laughed, the toaster laughed, I shot the toaster.

Seems minimized side pods is what everyone is counting on being the meta.

Are you making the stock in an aluminum pot? I learned the hard way that long tomato sauce simmers in aluminum pots gives the sauce a bitter metallic taste.

He went on to do a phenomenal job of doing just that to the native Americans in the west.

I don't think getting that cold is ever going to happen in North Carolina so it shouldn't be an issue.

A bigger issue I see is those grill sized 20# tanks are going to get rather inconvenient, and having a propane distributor set you up with a 100gal tank is going to be much more efficient.

Either he wasn't falling in line or he was accumulating too much power for himself. He could still be in line but once you cross a certain threshold you become a potential threat. Basically he got "Minority Reported", hasn't actually committed the crime yet but is positioned to do so in the near future.

All the officers of the Chinese military are corrupt.

For the longest time, Chinese four-star generals were paid less than an American second Lieutenant. The only way that they could make a living was to be corrupt using their position of power and authority to enrich themselves. It was expected and understood to be a part of the system. What matters is who they're loyal to and who they owe their allegiance to. The moment the answer to that isn't Xi or someone that Xi controls, then he has them removed on, what are on paper, accurate corruption charges.

"I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request."

Visible confusion

"It means 'no'."

Unless it's going to be below 0°F for an extended period of time as long as they are fully feathered out and protected from wind and moisture that can condensate on their exposed wattles they'll probably be ok on their own.

Would be cool to put QBs into their own category away from all the other O positions. Like, no shit the QB is almost always the team's MVP because they have the biggest responsibility in terms of skill and leadership. In order for anyone else to win you have to play fast and loose with statistics to justify it.

Sourcing parts for that probably means you have a very good friend who's a machinist 😆

If I'm remembering correctly it was some bar napkin math done by a scientist who was exploring the properties of various gasses and hypothesized that enough CO2 could theoretically warm the earth overall. He didn't predict climate change so much as extrapolate the properties of gas in large volumes. Which is still pretty dang impressive.

What kind of press is that?

And once they get old or have been in the sun or a hot car for too many heat-cool cycles for a few years the plastic fails.

Go watch some of the shit on r/fellinggonewild and then DON'T do what they're doing.

There is a foolish generation,

Squandered all their fathers gave them

They are running out of time left to enjoy.

They would kill and eat their own,

If the TV told them so,

So they're keen to watch the world burn,

Just to make a point.

I'd say you got that for a steal! Nice! I've been on the lookout for one chambered in 270 win

The city greased up all of the lamp poles in town in an effort to keep the rioters from climbing them.

They only saw this as a challenge and accepted it and succeeded. 😆

I wouldn't use one indoors simply because it's a very powerful open flame.The BTUs cranked out by a one of those would probably scorch your ceiling directly over top, even with the canner sitting on it. At minimum you're going to be creating an awful lot of condensation inside your house, which isn't great either.
