I was born in _arch, btw.

I always love seeing old keyboards with the pen groove along the top.

Yo! Knower of stats! What’s the US fluent English rate? And why is it artificially high?

Ol’ Petey seems a big fan of the 21st…

Do any of the tracks share a gauge?

Uh yeah, Imma need actual scripture or some quote from a more reliable source than “trust me, bro”.

That is the takeaway when you look at some of those Peter Principle’d sorts that don’t get fired because the owner knows them.

The applicants recognize that competent work doesn’t guarantee a job half as much as being a yes-man to an insecure executive. They believe they just have to get in the door.

It bothers me that the username of OOC and the t-shirt don’t match…

I was gonna ask you to bite the bullet and do a food review, but it seems that the article thoughtfully anticipated that and included some.

It was boring and straightforward - the only reason to patronize this restaurant over others is its atmosphere of fawning jingoism and political backbiting.

Is this because Denmark’s AIPAC analogue can’t effectively compromise students?

Semi-automatic is a specific type of action where after firing, the bolt removes the spent case and chambers the next round without further manual input from the operator as would be required in lever actions, bolt actions, etc.

Well, semi-automatic also interrupts the action so it only gives one shot per trigger pull, versus burst mechanisms or fully automatic.

So as for what is not a semi-automatic? Any gun requiring manual operation to clear the spent case and chamber a new round or can fire more than one round per trigger pull.

I’d dispute that. Single action is a specific type of system.

Guns… are specifically dedigned to kill people

Damn, dude! Better not learn about HEMA or fencing. Shit may give you an aneurism.

My sincerest condolences. Watching him sounds like torture.

My fellow Americans, ‘CPS’ here refersto the ‘Crown Prosecution Service’ and does not necessarily implicate the Tates of that more evil crime associated with Child Protective Services.

The more you know. ~☆

…and people who want to hide in the shadows, there’s no reason to do that when you’re buying a vacuum off me and want to come to my home to pick it up.

As a buyer of random trash, I really don’t want anyone to know more than they have to. The only identifying details about me should be “paid $13.65 for a set of glittery plastic tableware.” In whatever ledger you keep for those sort of things.

I got a promotional text message from a store I bought a single repair component from once in a state I never visited. It made me irrationally upset. I would not accuse you of such, but every action to verify someone’s “personhood” means that marketing types have that much more access to try to sell me junk.

The eternal battle of fairness and ability, i suppose… But I wanna know what your issues with Ocasio-Cortez are. It’s a rare sort that cops to that in these parts.

Just say zoombastic like a normal person.

It’s different because no jury in Israel will convict someone of warcrimes (against Palestinians).

No conviction, no crime. EZ.

I did: your argument that mental state and the situation surrounding the use of human shields was critical to their morality. I lampooned it.

Left with no choice? The article calls out specific uses of noncombatants as impromptu ablative shields and bomb squads, but the well equipped IDF “has no choice”?

I’m failing to find any mention of the value of life, though…
