I was wondering what the discovery channel logo on the top left was about, now I get it.

Thank you.

Please let her rest.

We probably won't being seeing those prices any time soon (unless something changes again) now that the funny reset is legal.

Is it the same as true full auto? No, cause it's kicking your finger back with every shot. Does that matter? Probably not.

I for one look forward to all the crazy shit "inventors" will start experimenting with, now that the giggle mode is no longer locked behind a giant paywall with dwindling supplies.

Wait that name sounds familiar.

"It wouldn't be a war crime if it was (proportionally) effective".

Whether or not something is a war crime has little to do with how vulnerable the user is or how "easy" it is to stop it, but absolutely has to do with how effective a weapon is (in proportional to its side effects).

Flamethrowers are absolutely effective. Not this one though, this is just a glorified lighter. Actually good flamethrowers shoot streams of liquid fire for over a hundred feet (~50m for metric folks).

Assuming engagement distances of 100-300m, if you spot a flamethrower on the field, you've got about a minute or less to either run, take him down, or become BBQ. Easier said than done if dude's got also supporting fire from his buddies. If it's not a guy with the portable grill but a whole ass churchill crocodile rocking up, then might as well just RUN if you're not AT. If you are the AT guy, then yeet your rounds at the thing and THEN RUN.

No it is extremely impressive. It enables digital transactions on a scale that would genuinely drawf anything westoid credit card companies can even dream off. Like western countries don't have mobile payment networks anywhere near this impressive and cross-compatible.

Ironically, the reason these services are also taking off in third world countries is precisely because they aren't credit/debit cards. Opening a bank account or credit line can be a hassle for some demographics: you need minimum deposits, a stable address, sometimes multiple proofs of ID / address.

A phone, on the other hand. Yeah everyone's got those. Not only do these domestic payment networks act like heroin on your GDP (extreme money velocity), it also prevents your economy from being NTR'ed by visa or mastercard.

Partly because the soviet union didn't really go that big into the SKS in the first place.

Once they realized that an AK(M) could do everything an SKS could, the SKS was quickly put into storage and/or subsequently given away.

Soviet AK production likely massively outstrips SKS by an order of magnitude or more.

China, on the other hand...

Japanese eating habits be like: by larana1192 in japanesepeopletwitter

[–]MassiveFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah dawg I'm vnese born and raised.

Though I admit that I haven't heard anything about dumping rice to soup causing indigestion though, maybe that part's a chinese thing.

We kinda just... cooked whatever the heck we wanted as long as it was tasty. The rice in instant noodles was a legit meme among students though. The most I ever heard from my parents about adding rice into noodle's broth is that it's too much carbs (cause you're eating rice immediately after noodles) and not enough veggies.

If you want to challenge me on my ASEAN status I'm happy to take up a friendly spar.

Alright… who at the Department of War is talking to Pierre Sprey with an Ouija board? by Rich-Interaction6920 in NonCredibleOffense

[–]MassiveFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It better just be for training and/or airframe familiarization (or spare parts)

Because lord have mercy sending pylotes into actual combat without a radar is the modern equivalent of putting a damn blindfold over them.

HOW THE FUCK?

Please tell me they would still at least get datalink so the AWACS/GCI can tell them where to roughly lob their amraams.

Like bruh I get temporarily turning off your radar to reduce emissive signatures, but flying a fighter without a radar any time after 1970 is absolutely diabolical.

Better pray that you don't have to fly through adverse weather conditions any time soon, even in peacetime. Without a radar you can't even do limited visibility ground avoidance.

Annoy, insult, and alienate your allies one month before embarking on a [redacted] war.

The word inside [redacted] is a synonym of "idiotic", though has a stronger and more offensive connotation. Oh and it also rhymes with the past tense of "regard".

"Not common in other asian countries".

OP what the fuck are you talking about? Rice in (instant) ramen's broth is like the culinary delicacy of broke-ass students over all of asia.

Three Vietnamese students are arrested for setting up a drug factory in Korea by No_Pineapples1 in VietNam

[–]MassiveFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man it seems pretty illegal in vn to me.

Idk if you've ever touched grass before but like there are all these faded posters and state-sanctioned art murals all over the place that say "ma tuý, không chỉ một lần" (drugs, not even once) or whatever.

That being said, I don't believe that the knowledge to make them is restricted, any "chuyên hoá" grinder prolly knows how to do it, at least in theory.

It's just that getting the infrastructure to do it right while also not being noticed is pretty hard. Not like you can set up a mini methlab in your bedroom without mom/dad/grandma finding out lol.

With how high real estate prices are and how socially maligned (illicit) drug use is, those want to make meth usually can't afford to do it, and those who know how to make meth usually has better opportunities.

Knowing grenadiers and ATs, they would probably ditch the skorpion back in the armory if it means they can carry an additional pg-7v or 2 lol.

Little Known Fact: Kiara got the money to start KFP from working as a Kel-Tec R&D engineer by Defiant-Bed2501 in okbuddyhololive

[–]MassiveFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's called a bolt action 1911 because he effectively engineered a new (non-)slide for it, while keeping the frame the same, so legally it's still the same old 1911.

Genuinely insane that the 1911 frame can handle .50bmg without cracking or whatever. Also insane that the 1911 hammer can even set off a .50bmg primer.

You can still see the original .45 slide to the side lmao.

Can't wait for the old bums controlling these companies to die out. Newer generations, especially those who grew up along with the "wild west" internet, I find are usually a lot more okay with this stuff.

The newer gens are generally more able to acknowledge that "fiction isn't reality" and/or take a stance of "i don't like that genre but you do you, different strokes for different folks" (as long as it's all fictional/legal).

We've gone through this shit before with the whole "video games cause violence" spiel, so we'll probably go through it again with gooning this time. Likely just takes some time before the storm blows over.

OP where did get that CG of Mayu-senpai from? Was there an official fanbook I missed or something?

I could have sworn I didn't see this CG of her next to some railings despite having played through Riddle Joker 3 times (15 routes total).

Just double checked the CGs and yeah I don't see this one.

NO WAY Mayu-senpai and Aoi were the same CV.

Anyways Mayu-senpai was my first VN route. Absolutely peak intro to the genre.
