Destin at Smarter Every Day

I enjoy his content and like him and his style but I still have a bitter taste in my mouth from him being a former missile guidance engineer at Redstone and making this low-key military ad series. I mean he has been pretty upfront about his past career and such but he also knows that his channel is probably watched by a lot of children.

I don’t know, something feels off about it.

I was about to start the same list. Also - sand at day is warm and kinda soft, lying on sand at night is cold and as hard as concrete.

For starters never go camping on a beach, it’s almost always miserable.

Oh wow, you just unlocked an old memory of mine, the 2003 crimson skies game was my first Xbox game, good times man.

Iirc the factor that limited early nuclear submarines the most from continuous dives was the toilets, they have limited storage for sewage and it turns out that draining those with a greater outside pressure is a pretty difficult task, at least if you want to stay undetected.

Now that they have figured that out the limiting factor is food.

Adding to all the good ideas in hope I haven’t over read it -

There’s sleeves for woods and other taller clubs, you can have it embroidered with custom designs, like names or something.

My dad had one that looked like a turtle, maybe there’s something nice for her. I like that you can customize it.

Who cares what this living example for why you should take your meds has to say?

I feel like all this attention it brought him only amplified his mental disorders. I sincerely hope that he is getting the help he clearly needs and that the media will leave him alone for the sake of his sanity.

I didn’t lie about shit.

You did, repeatedly in the same thread. Your goalpost repeatedly moved so you can throw out empty insults like :

Work on reading comprehension.

I don’t know if you are a troll, a Russian paid professional troll, a shill or an idiot but I do know that you are a liar.

A little off topic but I’ve been listening to the Alex Jones depositions on the knowledge fight podcast (highly recommend) and that was kinda similar. Not in a cognitive test way, but seeing his fish gallop technique running into a wall is so satisfying.

For example the plaintiffs lawyer asks a question, Jones uses that as a jumping off point for one of his famous nonsense rants and they just let him ramble for 2 minutes and then the lawyer answers in a very calm manner - “Mr. Jones, that was not my question, my question was …” Repeatedly until they got a straight answer, “Mr Jones I have all day to get the answers I need.”

Once or twice the lawyer even interrupted him with “Babababab! Please just answer my question!” Or “What are you even talking about?” Jones was so caught in his show persona that he stood no chance of avoiding to answer unpleasant questions.

His dad was way more in control of the court room, giving yes or no answers, keeping it short, like someone who listens to his lawyers should do.

The scariest dude in the depositions was one of his editors, a nice sounding guy, who hated Alex Jones, knew that what they were doing was harmful bullshit but continued to do it for years without caring about the impact. The mundanity of evil.

Yes very likely, the round air-cooling holes are a good hint, although they can also be found on the MG30 but those didn’t use drum magazines, the MG15 did but it had square air-cooling holes.

Also I think the other models didn’t have the buttstock removable while still operational. That’s because the MG34 later was often used as a vehicle mg in tanks and the like, where space was limited. During my mandatory service we trained with the MG3 (still in service) which is the successor and basically almost a copy of the mg42 and removing the buttstock would remove the recoil spring.

He had been hired by Sangamon county despite two charges of driving under the influence, the Springfield State Journal-Register reported, and had worked for other law enforcement agencies in Illinois for seven years before arriving in Springfield.

From the linked article

Berthold Brecht:

Anyone who stays at home when the war begins and lets others fight for their cause must be careful: because whoever did not share the fight will share the defeat.

What purpose do these things fulfill?

Like an APC or ifv is supposed to carry infantry into battle and assist with fire support, but from the looks of it this thing can’t do either?

The gun looks blocked or disabled and if they carry troops with it, how do they dismount?

Your vehicle might have protection against drones and maaaaaybe atgm (doubt it), but it’s effectively useless to its purpose now?

Ah I see we met the same lunatic today

Do us policy wonks have a working community in the fediverse btw? Been stumbling about a few mentions lately

Wow that website you linked asked me to log in 5 times before I could click on the first comic strip, way to make me never visit it again…

The strip you posted is cute though.
