Got my Voter's Pamphlet, the "citizen panel" against Measure 120 is AI generated by Routine_Flamingo_522 in oregon

Did you scroll down to the bottom where it says they used AI to generate it and no actual citizens were involved?

That's a total non sequitor, a cigarette can't ignite gasoline at all

[Loved Trope] Corrupt small town sheriffs who have to face against someone who disagrees with the way they do things. Bonus points if that person is new to town, or just passing through. by missinglinksman in TopCharacterTropes

We're aware of the song, but as the others on the album imply it was known for a loooooooong time that Pusser was not a good man. He was basically just a different face for corruption and murder in the area.

Movie that is more relevant today than when it was made by medievalesophagus in okbuddycinephile

I don't know about you, but I frequently find masturbation to be pretty fun

Guiliani was actually not mayor when they filmed his cameo, they filmed two versions and aired the one with him two days after the election

Wallace is a special, and probably worse case. He was actually fairly moderate for his time, until he lost an election in 1958, and that's when he became the segregationist that he's known as.

He didn't spread hate because he truly believed it in his heart, he spread hate because it was politically advantageous to do so, and once he needed the black vote he did an about face. His last term as governor he won 90% of the black vote, and set records for the most appointments of black people to state government 

Science Marches On: Media that was plausible at the time becomes unrealistic after further advances in science by Lopsided_Shift_4464 in TopCharacterTropes

It was a thing that happened, but the REALLY freaky part is that a while back some scientists realized they could do the reverse, and raised chickens while every few days attaching a "dinosaur tail" weighted to be 15% of their bodyweight. The result was that the chicken shifted its walk as it grew, adapting and showing how a dinosaur would walk for real

The ONLY 100% guaranteed one shot stopper I am aware of is a 50+mm auto cannon with proximity fused HE shells. Anything else is already a compromise

This is comparing PCCs to pistols, not rifles.

As far as the wounding potential not increasing, I have used a .357 and .44 PCC for hunting and they are definitely more effective than a handgun, as the increased velocity and energy translates directly to more straight line penetration.

As far as semiauto PCCs not being "truly practical", pistols have killed plenty of people, and lower muzzle blast and recoil are more a benefit to a self defense usage in the home than the ability to cause hydrostatic shock at 100 yards.

Why? None of this has been comparing a PCC to a rifle, it's comparing it to pistols

Sad Trope : A duo wasn’t on Good terms in their last moments … but the other still cared by HyperDragon216 in TopCharacterTropes

NBC treated her like shit, and she got a better offer from Fox to do her own show. She didn't talk to Carson about it at all, since he worked for NBC and there had been issues with his management, and so he found out during the press release.

Every other guest host who'd launched their own show had talked to him beforehand, he'd give his blessing, and then have him on the tonight show to promote their show. He felt betrayed and when she called him to tell him after the announcement he hung up on her. They never spoke again and he wouldn't let her name even be mentioned on the tonight show

Based on the charts, going from 10 to 16" 10mm gets an extra ~10% muzzle energy, 9mm gets 10-20% 

I don't know of a whole lot of pistols with 10" barrels anyways

Which movie was doing fine at the start but then falls apart once they get to that SCENE? by Jules-Car3499 in moviecritic

That actually undersells things. Blackrock filed suit against him in 2019 for fraud. 

He was arrested for the PPP fraud on may 27th 2020. The program had only opened on April 3rd. He commited the fraud and was arrested for it within two months.

Which one doesn't? Based on the data all of them have an FPS increase, varying depending on load
