  • Less than 10 days after Helene made landfall, Florida braces for another hurricane, potentially a Category 3

  • I've lived in the Caribbean. Well-off people lived in reinforced concrete buildings not in flood areas. Worst that usually happened is some broken window.

  • Trump ‘asked Putin for advice’ about whether the US should help arm Ukraine

  • Cops ask robbers if they should protect banks.

  • Putin orders conscription of 133,000 new soldiers to fight on the front line

    Jump

  • And you need the propaganda to have effective oppression.

    Putin has to have his official narrative in order to mandate that anything else is a lie.

  • And the same goes for DA/SA or SA-only automatics. Most tend to have manual safeties, some have de-cockers only or can be transformed to that configuration.

  • Warranty runs out at 30

  • And for those wondering, yeah it sucks a first getting into a routine of physical training. Find your drive, keep it up, and eventually you may find you can't do without it. It gets so much easier after a while.

  • His live ones are clones of said dead dog.

    These right-wing zealots are all so fucking weird.

  • By chainsawing all the social nets and the magic of economic liberalism the Economy would heal and everything would be wonderful!

    Or at least some super-wealthy people can buy up State services for pennies on the dollar and make a killing later.

  • I'll just add most (all?) revolvers have no manual safety other than a heavier and long double action pull on the trigger.

  • The recent Sig P 320 chosen by the US Army has variants with no manual safety and doesn't have the trigger safety.

    It still has internal safeties but there have been issues with accidental discharges with the earlier productions.

  • Have you read the article? The difference is how Glocks can easily adapted to fire full auto with an accessory.

    Can others be adapted to full auto? Probably. But the adapters aren't as easilyinstalled and commonly available.

    By being a super popular gun for the reasons you mention and by being a relatively simple gun certainly helped it become the host of choice for such a modification.

    One model of Glock being full auto from the factory probably set the blueprint for the illegal mod.

  • Trump wants an "American Iron Dome." Experts say that's ridiculous.

  • Going with flammable material for the hood was a poor choice. Not very breathable too.

  • After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance

    Jump

  • Switzerland doesn't have the same sheet weight Brazil has.

    And it probably doesn't wants to ruffle big US tech companies with so many having their big European HQs in Zurich.

  • 2nd-ever nitrogen gas execution in US set to take place in Alabama

    Jump

  • Yeah the "just given them X" is how they got into a mess botching executions.

    Killing people realibly and quickly has been perfectly fixed for centuries but they want to make a barbaric act look civilized, clean, even clinical.

    A guillotine would be cheaper, perfectly reliable, quick, painless, fittingly antiquated looking for an antiquated practice. But it makes a mess and conjures images of angry Frenchmen getting rid of the ruling elite.

    I hope all Americans come one day to realize how horrible, ineffective and unnecessary state mandated executions are.

  • They take their Hippocratic Oat seriously thankfully.

  • 2nd-ever nitrogen gas execution in US set to take place in Alabama

    Jump

  • And the Bible being a justification for state executions is such a horrible excuse.

    We could justify all sorts of other wacky things with a messy collection of ancient tales.

  • Nukes are tested on super computers since the treaty band.

    Except for North Korea while it was catching up.

  • The US at least regularly tests its missiles. They shoot from California toward a Pacific island into a painted target.

    Modern ICBMs are insanely accurate.
