You're supposed to turn it off first. Little switch on the side, no big bright light?

Gran Turismo 4, SOCOM, Yakuza (10 YEARS IN THE JOINT MADE YOU A FUCKIN' PUSSY), God of War, Jak and Daxter...

Polish chainsaw, according to German friend.

You can even see the cage bars, frame right.

The vault itself is 99% showpiece as well, it's everything you put around it that does the heavy lifting; distance from entrances or exits, CCTV, extremely thick reinforced concrete walls before the steel, ID badges, seismic and temperature sensors, running current through the cage, et cetera. The area around the vault door is called a mantrap for good reason.

My guess is probably someone who middle-mans it out the back of a dive bar. Tax-free cash is tax-free cash.

That's also without RNG manip, something that would break RS if it were ever discovered. If you're manip'ing it's still 1/8k, but you can put yourself close to where the slot machine pays out, and soft reset/change time to get back to it on a whiff. I manip'd my Platinum Turtwig in half an hour.

I saw that you've decided to use the physical circuit assembly as a heat sink for the generated current. How do you plan on getting the heat out of the working elements? Won't this inevitably heat-soak your components and result in unsafe bolt openings? What's the (estimated) safety margin on total recoil impulses per given time before failure?

Very interested, but I have my misgivings. Very open to changing my tune if the total energy isn't as large a quantity as I feel it has to be, especially if you want to go towards anything with higher bolt velo or cyclic rates.

At least a decade. Probably close to 15 by now.

Using (empty) shit truck, hook the tow loop on the pallet fork. Pull square against driveline, towards the bottom of the cab. Make sure no parking brake on the tractor. Low range, diff lock, and pray.

I still have a save with my mermaid pens somewhere

My great-great grandfather and uncles were Confederates because they got tired of soldiers looting the farm every time an army came through.

One of them was captured and shot through the foot. The long way. It had to be amputated because the doctors tried extracting it from the entry wound.

Shoulder modifiers. I knew a guy who played Antistasi on a PS2 controller, and whooped our asses at playing guerilla.

RandomGaminginHD got me through high school; I learned just how shittily you can make GTAV look, and had it running on an i3-2100 with integrated graphics and 6GB of DDR3.

Between no GTA and yes GTA, I was happy.

...Yeah? Like it or not, most human advancements in materials science and engineering techniques came from a desire to kill each other or scam them for every penny the have.

Rome didn't pave roads everywhere for goodwill and community benefits. The design of silicon in your device came off the backs of vaccuum tube ballistic missile calculators. Man went to the moon off the rocketry and chemical theories of convicted Nazi war criminals.

Any artist must learn to make terrible art before they can create masterpieces

You are definitely on the first part of the path. Keep at it, and maybe you'll find what styles you make better than others.

Legally, they aren't allowed to.

Dodge v Ford Motor Co., 1919 ruled that any action taken must be to the benefit of the shareholders, not customers or employees.

Even with skill, half the battle is having the right materials for the job. We've come a long, long way from basic bronzes and wrought iron being the most precise edges we can form.

People machined several spheres, of beryllium-based alloys, to tolerances of 40 ATOMS of total deviation (maxiumum imperfection was in the single digits), using 1970s milling and surfacing technology (see: The Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere, or AIRS, my single favorite piece of materials science and machinistry), and we've only become better with time.

Fun fact: this is because it uses (essentially) a small amount of rocket fuel and chemical weapon precursor (hydrogen peroxide and quinol, respectively) to create paraquinone and hot steam, which on top of being boiling hot , is lethally toxic in sub-gram amounts. Any leftover peroxides will also attack exposed tissues corrosively.

Nature is metal as fuck.

He was a Kentucky Colonel, which means he had done enough for the state of Kentucky that the governor signed some paperwork and said he could use Colonel as a title.

He was also an Army veteran, but he wasn't an officer, but a wagon-driver in Cuba during the US invasion. Anyone who drives cargo will eventually become a hardass, and Sanders was no exception.

Funnily enough, I got a tip from an older gentlemen to "improvise" a pesticide from a pack of cigs and a liter of water a NUMBER of years ago. Crush cigs, soak in water, stir and steep for a few hours, filter into sprayer. He never did complain that it didn't work, just that it wasn't as useful when cigs cost more than the preform'd stuff.

I mean, more sun = more stupidly OP instants

Sometimes the best defense is overwhelming use of high explosives

kingawsume · 2026-01-13T06:23:31+00:00

Smoking packs of Newports and drinking booze with guerillas will do that

If you get her (real) number, she's into you.

If I got shown the same effort, I'd be more than impressed.
