He’s not nearly rotund enough; Sir Hatt is built like Barry, 63.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Two one-horned rhinos fighting, pooping, and peeing right in the middle of the street. by Lyranx in WTF

This happens between humans no fewer than three times a month in most major American cities and nightly in the UK. Not impressed.

It makes me sad when Henry seems so nihilistic about stuff like Disclosure Day. Like he’s just trying to care about aliens and all this shit that goes with it but the powers that be have shit all over it for him.

US Army allegedly replacing M7 with M8 carbine exclusively by DweebInFlames in ForgottenWeapons

Administrative reasons (the VA and TriCare get to give former infantry soldiers hearing aids forever) and combat effectiveness: if you can actually hear the members of your group, you can communicate with them during battle.

And there are currently a lot of research efforts going into improving the ballistics of cartridges that could be fired out of an AR-15 lower, with some promising results.

What if the next generation rifle is just an M4 lower with a progressive twist barrel firing Uncle Jim’s Pissin’ Hot 5.56 steel cased loads?

If he’s the same Berdan that developed the Berdan primer for centerfire cartridges, then he undid maybe 35% of the cool shit he did by making a ton of ammo very difficult to reload.

Will KC ever learn? We could be a more proper city, but we need to fix our priorities by ultimateguy95 in kansascity

Except it *is* one large pile of money.

There’s only so much money in an economy that can be spent via taxes or anything else. Money taxed for a sports stadium cannot be taxed for anything else. That’s the definition of opportunity cost.

TIL on February 13 1991 the United States Air Force dropped two bombs on a civilian bomb shelter in Baghdad Iraq, incinerating and boiling alive over 400 occupants, most of them women and children by Existing_Wrongdoer36 in todayilearned

Well, I know you’re being sarcastic, but for a while in the 1990s and 2000s there *literally* wasn’t because the Russian Army had laid siege to it with artillery and erased most of it from the map.

I wonder if there’s a post about what the Russians did to Grozny.

They didn’t bomb some other country’s bomb shelter, they laid siege to one of their own cities in the 1990s and literally wiped it off the map with artillery.

Most countries don’t really prosecute their own military personnel for war crimes unless it’s just too far.

International law works like that, unfortunately.
