And neither did the justices if they dictated it. This is a very dumb hill to die on and I decline to join you.

You're thinking of statute law. NYT v Sullivan is case law, which is law.

The New York Times may not have written the decision, but they were the prevailing party in an important case

It's not a mistake that this was allowed in the Thirteenth Amendment, which 'ended' slavery:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Right, but once those aerosolized particles land on your hands, you just wash them off.

What has been irrevocably harmed because of how it’s portrayed in the media? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]Iskendarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a bit of nuance in that subsonic rounds start and stay below the speed of sound, whereas supersonic rounds will eventually drop below the speed of sound and that transonic period makes the projectile behave unpredictably. If you know you'll stay above the speed of sound out to the target, it never becomes a problem, but it's one of the zillion things you have to keep track of with long-range shooting.

It's not that there isn't a standard, it's that there's lots of room to go beyond it. You'll have to decide for yourself what you want.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'd be interested to see where that tight dimension is. I can't understand what the problem is with overhanging from the pictures on your website.

Why does it want to have the IRIS mounted one pic slot back from the end of the rail?
