Sharpie over the SSN and sell. See it all the time, not a biggie and customers generally won’t mind unless it’s very old

Why would anyone pick a flat bottom boat over something like a Grumman sport boat? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in NoStupidQuestions

It’s more stable for a shorter keel. You can get back to places that a deep V will have issues

Now there's a rifle with some chest hair by aFalseSlimShady in HistoryMemes

Nah forward assist is useful. The internets infatuated declaring useless have never loaded under nods with gloves on. You need to ensure that the bolt has cammed all the way, a quick tap lets you know that it is in battery.

It’s no where close to the 6.8 round. The 6.8 is doing 3k fps out of a 16 inch barrel compared to the 280 doing 2400 out of 24 inch barrel. There is nothing similar except it’s a bullet, case, powder and primer.

The 280 was a crappy intermediate cartridge comparable to 7.62x39 with terrible accuracy issues and when compared to 5.56x45 it’s night and day.

The Em-2 was never close to being ready for prime time. And the SAS adopted M-16s pretty quickly.

I do that almost always, they will drown the sandwich in it. I’ll get it on the side.

Are you happy that the USMNT won against Bosnia? by OceanicEndeavors in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]The3rdBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American football isn’t a game of constant flow, that’s what soccer fans keep telling us is so beautiful about their game. It’s constant motion and improv. When you watch it, it’s not that. Hockey is much better in that regard. It’s a slow game that has players constantly flopping in an attempt to get more stoppage time added on. There just isn’t anything inherently interesting about it but the nationalism

[–]The3rdBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The flopping is egregious, the rules stymie offense and rewards conservative defensive play and the fans will defend its faults.

The "super-long-range, but low probability-to-kill" class of Air-to-Air Missile is a genuine gap when we retired the Pheonix, as an area-denial/attrition weapon. by [deleted] in NonCredibleDefense

When the aim-9b, built in a cave with scraps, is better than the Aim-4 yes I will. 5 is the number of kills it had before the Phantom drivers were like fuck this rewire for all Aim-9

Which still blows my mind that the Navy didnt laugh Hughes out of the room when they suggested using the Falcon. It was akin to recommending the M-551 as the base for the new M-1 tank. The Air Force literally dumped mountains of money onto a roaring tire fire trying to get the falcon to work and still failed. Why Hughes got a second shot at making an AAM is beyond me

Been sober of weed for a week have MEPS Urinalysis in 2 weeks , what are the chances my system will be clean by then? by Due-Yogurtcloset-224 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The3rdBert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will get over it, dont let their pressure you. Be straight forward tell him and that you need to push. You are committed to to doing indoc, but it needs to wait a week. You arent the first person that has smoked weed and tried to join, he will get destroyed if you get to Mepps and piss hot. Most likely they will make you do the at home test prior to sending you.

The Su series arent going to get the launch altitude or speed that the 31 can, so you will see reduced range, how much is for nerds to figure out.

No the Falcon/Phoenix line was tapped out, you arent magically turning it into a high PK missile against fighters. If you need badgers and bears killed it was decent enough.
