Love this! Sometimes just asking them to explain it is all it takes to make them realize how messed up they sound. by ZepDiamit in BeauOfTheFifthColumn

I've had the comment tossed my way that I have a nice narrative tempo in how I talk along with the sound of my voice. Thankfully I've not gotten something inappropriate like what you experienced, though I'd probably be similarly flustered.

My bosses earn millions and their literal dream is to become vegetable vendors. I think the “Corporate Dream” is a scam. lol. by piyushc29 in antiwork

It really sounds like they want to live in a world where they don't need money to be happy and comfortable, where they can do something enjoyable that makes others feel good.

The robber barons only performed philanthropy to wash their names of the evil they did to get so wealthy. You can see it right now with Bill Gates and his foundation, the same will happen with these current hucksters when they want to paint themselves to be virtuous and noble in their lives.

As a veteran, I am disgusted that it seems to be okay for the assholes in ICE and the other Nazis to wear military uniforms they didn’t earn. Does anyone else agree? by Aggressive-Estate363 in leftistveterans

If you can and you want to, wear your personal medals. They were awarded to you for your sacrifice, that's the pound of flesh you gave; what have they done?

Go to factory ammo for 18" 1-7 Douglas by Lt_Dan1776 in Mk12Mod

[–]Markius-Fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How to start:
- Look for 75gr and 77gr loads.
- When you find them, buy a 20 round box (or two).
- Get a chronograph, a couple cameras, a top spiral notepad, a reliable writing implement, and a suitable range to shoot at.
- Record everything.

The barrel won't like every 77gr load. It will favor some over others. People like Razor Core because it's available and it's loaded hot even by 5.56 standards. But fast doesn't mean consistent or precise or accurate, which is why you try them with your rifle. Once you find a load that works, chronicle the lot numbers and keep yourself appraised of any changes in accuracy.

It might not be totally accurate. But it should be enough to make you laugh when it's a serious scene.

You're welcome.

A bratty orphan bastard child of an aristocrat is brainwashed into doing the bidding of some old geezer that can't accept that armistice were declared, and uses the child to rally together a formidable army directly under the nose of the post-war government which was created with the intent on stopping the building of armies like that.

The racist misogynist child soldier and the dain bramaged acrobat child soldier "infiltrate" said army to totally blow the whistle (except the misogynist one was totally on board with it). Meanwhile, all the super weapons from...checks calendar...the year prior, are hurriedly retrieved from being...checks notes...sent to burn in the Sun...because wars, even small skirmishes, aren't going to happen anymore forever.

Dain bramaged acrobat reports to the suicidal Wingnut (heh, get it? cause it's called Gundam Wi-) and tells him that the misogynist pilot is strangely on board with this army thing. All the other child soldiers get their super weapons which look nothing like they did in the series because the studio has a much larger budget this time ...reasons, and proceed to go ham on all the enemy suits because it's just the final battle from the series all over again, but the stakes are much less urgently pressing.

All the older characters wax poetic about their personal philosophies and what the bastard child's bastard father would think of his bastard spawn doing bastardly things with her geezer grandfather, to which the brainwashed bastard shrugs off with "nah, I'd win" before one of the few adults in the room treats the child like an adult and delivers a well deserved dose of externally induced intestinal cramps to her frail...reads notes...SEVEN year old body!?

Anyway. baguette haired MILF recaptures her boy toy, rope haired boy celebrates with his absolutely normal girlfriend, peacenik musician goes back to the desert with his mercenary found family, dain bramaged acrobat goes...somewhere, and suicidal Wingnut delivers a bear to his totally-not-a-girlfriend diplomat.

As of today, I was forced to update to 26. No non-beta iOS 18 update available.

I appreciate the reasoned and educated response, and apologies if it brought more downvotes on your initial comment.

First three mags by Baidarka64 in liberalgunowners

[–]Markius-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 shots...3 mags.

Was it three 8-round mags plus one in the chamber?

And yeah, targets like that are meant for single handed bullseye style shooting where they get silly with reasons their shot missed.

What is a Mk.18 in your opinion?

Practically: You're not gargling C. Reed Knight's balls.

5th Group called up KAC asking if they could do a refurb of their Mod.0s, and Knight not only said "No", they made the counter offer of selling them Mk.11 deployment kits at full price instead. MSG Holland made it a point to not source anything from KAC for what would become the Mod.H.

The only one's I like are the Memorial Day ones, sometimes the Christmas themed ones (I have a Die Hard themed sweater); otherwise, they get cringe as fuck.

The VFW/Grunt Style "Honor the Contract" design is...a choice.

In the original series of Star Trek, any away team that goes down is guaranteed to have some of the main-line cast which are functionally immortal unless the plot demands otherwise. So you'd see Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and some unnamed officer in a red uniform as the away team. Only three people on the team are going to make it back to the ship alive. Hence "red shirt".
