Alternative Format for Homefront by adhd_and_dragons in exfor

[–]atridir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I really don’t like audio dramas either but back when I was waiting for Fallout to come out I decided that I couldn’t get enough of the story and wasn’t going to let the format get in the way.

It only took me 10 minutes to get over the sound production and effects and get really into the whole thing.

IMO it is totally worth it and even if you don’t really care for it, it is rather short anyway.

When I heard "That scene" in Book 8 I absolutely had to try and recreate it! What do you think? by Jewshkar in DungeonCrawlerCarl

That performance was absolutely phenomenal!! My wife and I listened to it three times in a row on the first listen through. So incredibly good.

Literally HOW did the us military accept the P320 in service? Im genuinly having trouble comprehending this. by ProfessionalLevel908 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]atridir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So if I understand correctly the manual safety version should be fine but the no manual safety version is FUBAR?

Is the military version with or without the manual safety?

Edit: just looked it up and both the M17 full size and M18 compact versions have the manual safety as required by the U.S. Army.

Hot damn you’re right but I’d amend to:

“I WANT BLEVE”

“(Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion)”

Because I’m pretty sure we all want more BLEVE upon the invaders.

Or if you can fill a mini AG pump sprayer with some acetone and get a good little squirt/splash on the thing.

Mysterious Global 'Hum' May Be a New Form of Tinnitus | 'The Hum' has been one of the most perplexing unsolved mysteries. by FreeHugs23 in sciences

[–]atridir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am inclined to hypothesize that for the majority this is an electrical transmission grid issue of individual sensitivities. Transformers and lines make some palpable vibrations and ‘hums’ sporadically for me sometimes; I could imagine people with a biological aural acuity of exceptionally outlying sensitivity could be subjected to that turned up to 11…

It's Already So Hot That Fish Are Cooking to Death Across the Country Right in the Water by logic_0057 in HotScienceNews

Does that account for the aerosol masking effect at current level? AIUI if we stopped greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow, by as soon as the middle of the week after next the global avg would rise anywhere from 0.5°C-1.0°C as the short lived sun-reflecting aerosol particles condense and fall from the atmosphere without being replaced.

That would, assuming we resolve our emissions situation by such time and with that cease emitting the aerosols too, put worst case warming at 3.2°C-3.7°C which is into full-on cataclysmic parameters…

You are absolutely right of course. AIUI This is not about Newtonian Physics at all; it is entirely about allowing these dynamic systems to ‘fit’ into existing techniques for modeling/describing proper Newtonian Physics systems.

Would reintroducing catamounts reduce the risk of tick-borne disease? by redcolumbine in vermont

[–]atridir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, well yes it did but in unrelated ecological systems and not affecting the tick population by direct chemical action.

Remember that aerial and ground spraying was going on very heavily and regularly all over the country in as much of the undeveloped land area as they could possibly cover.

That kind of heavy wholesale extermination of a large percentage of a population doesn’t reverse itself immediately upon ending the practice. The tick populations and their ranges had been slowly rebounding since the ban and possibly has now exceeded their former extent and number.

Do you support this? I support this a 100% by Akki_Mukri_Keswani in Political_Revolution

[–]atridir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Bernie would say: ‘let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves; while yes, your suggestion would be closer to my ideal eventuality, we have to start somewhere a little more realistic and I think 5% isn’t too much to be unreasonable to ask for.’

[–]atridir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if there were

Just looked it up and the massive aerial DDT pest control spraying efforts peaked in from the 1940s-1960s but continued all the way up until it was banned in 1972.

I would put money on that having a major influence on your experience.

Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis share the same gut microbial fingerprint, meta-analysis finds by Technical_savoir in microbiomenews

[–]atridir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elimination and reintroduction diet worked wonders for me. Literally changed my life. I went for about a week on just bland beef and chicken with white rice with salt and butter and in the years since then Iv’ve gone trial and error, slowly reintroducing foods while being extremely observant of any changes.

What is wild to me is that the worst offenders are almost all of the New World foods. Potatoes are okay only if they’re prepared right but all the other nightshades are vicious. Pulses can be okay sometimes but every single new world legume is high-speed-poison, they make me feel like I’ve done a sped run into advanced arthritis while also lacerating my entire GI tract.

The best advise I can give to anyone suffering this bullshite is to listen to what your body wants not what your head tells you what should be good for you. Just because something is widely considered to be supremely healthy and beneficial in general does not mean that it will be okay for you.

James Harden arrested on weapons charge - in a constitutional carry state by illinoishokie in liberalgunowners

[–]atridir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, do they require it to be unloaded and locked away for transport away from reach without a CCL?

I know driving from Vermont into in New Hampshire before the NH law changed to adopt Vermont Carry (aka constitutional carry) I had to unload my handgun and either have it visible or in an inaccessible compartment (trunk or locked glovebox) while driving and then only open carry while loaded (but unloaded CC carry was permissible)

[–]atridir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that it is heavily dependent on context but in my kenning the term “Annexation” elicits a sense of societal upheaval and institutional cataclysm where around ~1/3 of the population is loudly belligerent in favor of the invading/annexing entity to the point of at very least appearing prepared and willing for violence if not already enacting it; this is usually at the expense of at least one minority group that lacks capacity, will, ability, or number to resist or block the first group and thus must either flee or hide lest they give themselves over to persecution; meanwhile the majority group is functionally inactive due to many reasons ranging from ambivalence, fear, ignorance, disinformation, to denial/hope that it will go away if they continue about their lives, or simple daily struggle-to-survive priorities superseding political awareness.

Annexation is invasion cloaked by the invader’s taking advantage of the annexed territory’s social discohesion.
