Let's wrap this EPROW weekend up    What's the Implication there, Dennis?  Agree, unironically  Racism  I've shared this before, but again, let's talk about how they assume these ladies are on welfare. I wonder why.   quit calling us racist! That's not fair! Would be less racist than the r word  Neither have Paul Ryan or Scott Walker, by this measure  I'm not really sure what the complaint is specifically, but generally it's this next one:  Act like a jagoff redneck or get out.  The gently caress have you contributed to humanity recently, racist?  Some nice solid copyright infringement  Babby that doesn't yet speak English  Did I put this one with the No One Owes You Anything macro? too lazy to look  Literally everyone hates you: sign of good thing  The day after Benghazi /= During the massacre  Obama hates america, wants to destroy it, yadda yadda, what else you got?  This one almost made the Top 10. Gay Nazi Pinnochio, unf that's the stuff  No u  DDOG doesn't go in for much on the Jesus side.  Yes, them too. Go gently caress yourself.  What you miss is being a child of pure ID  by all means, listen to Putin  Contrary to popular belief, football /= war  Does anyone remember the Long Island garbage barge?  [citation needed]  lot of guys died that winter could probably have used some healthcare  Was anyone questioning this?  EPORW not offended? I'll believe it when i see it  Series of macros all but demanding armed conflict against ISIS, Iran, RaHoWa, the federal government, you name it Gun sequester section  No they shouldn't, gun manufacturers should. Get out.   what am I looking at here?  FACT  or maybe we could live in a country where randos don't have pistols to shoot the guy's dog with   For fun, see what he edited between the changelogs  If the british invaded again?  Calling Guy Fawkes a "patriot" really stretches the definition  This is a weapon. I am a TOOL.  Def gonna regret not shooting someone  I think this goes in the guns section, or it could be an electric keyboard, hard to tell  Yeah if he'd had an uzi he could have done a nice clean mass murder suicide, then where would we be?  Tremors?  I'm a real douchebag of a neighbor, and have never heard of a security system      I think some of these meant it as a bad thing guys  enough ammunition for what now?  img-cascadingFUCKYOU leave Spock out of this you violent fucks Do you want a MEDAL for not murdering everyone you disagree with?  Spokesperson: a fictional retarded person. Gj  Not anymore, because you're dead.  bill of needs  Um I think you need to read that story again  lord   The new messaging seems to be you have to exist in a constant state of being as armed as physically possible or you will literally die. Kind of reminds me of the what you don't know will kill you news at 11 trope  Stretching the definition of "fact" here  and covered in jizz   Is that a velociraptor?

To expand: The ATF classifies pistols with added stocks as Short-barrel rifles (SBRs). SBR's are under the same regulations as automatic weapons, but there is a thriving market in the grey area of "wrist supports" that can be used as stocks. Things also get fucky when you get into pistols made modeled after rifles such as  that are often used as a way to skirt SBR rules. It is a pistol because it doesn't have a stock, add a stock and it is an SBR and likely illegal unless you have a Federal Firearms Licence (likely a class 01 dealers licence, I think only a handful of revolvers with stocks fall under a Class 03 Curios and Relics licence.

 The levels of this picture are fascinating. It goes deep. It's a timehop, so it was posted several years ago (at least three according to the paper in the picture). Then someone decided to print it, I'm assuming so they could show it to people at work, but even that doesn't make sense since everywhere we go there are computers or phones with internet access. Either way they printed it out for some reason, and I'm assuming they carried it with them somewhere because it's creased as if it were folded in someone's pocket. Then someone else decided this was such a funny thing that they just had to share it to social media (again), but they didn't want to type it out so they took a picture with their cell phone (and didn't even bother to flatten out the paper or anything), where through the magic of the internet it ended up being shared by the "Donald Trump For President 2016!!!!!!" Facebook group (the one with six exclamation points). Verisimilidude fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Trivia posted:Has it not occurred to any of these people to ask their kid to teach them the new math? Jesus not only do you get to learn a new method, but having your kid teach you something helps them exhibit mastery over the subject. Seems win-win to me. Also, tutoring other people (even if they just play dumb for the sake of the roleplay) is one of the best learning methods.

The Romans did things like taxes in 1/100ths commonly enough, and the term itself is from (modern) Latin, so it doesn't seem that unreasonable. They wouldn't have used the % symbol, but I suspect that if you expressed something "per centum" to a literate Roman they would have followed along.

I had a friend post this which was enough to annoy me: Which I responded to with this: "This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'll ignore the fact that the implication of this holds that my generation (because of course this is about young people, because it's certainly not the generation of the people who create and post things like this) is entirely "spoiled, entitled brats" despite not having been alive to make the decisions to mortgage a future they would have to live in for a past that their parents largely benefited from. If a police officer breaks a law, acting in their capacity as a police officer, with justification, it's abuse of power. And if they act violently toward someone who wasn't threatening anyone's lives or health, then it's brutality, the person on the other end, regardless of color, race, gender, or any possible crimes they may have committed or been accused of committing doesn't matter. Someone who gets shot, and then shot 15 more times while lying on the ground was brutalized. Someone who was put in the back of a van and violently bounced around while restrained until their spine snaps was brutalized. Someone who was choked to death, someone who was shot while clearly not being a threat to themselves or others, someone who was roughed up while cooperating with the officer, they were brutalized. It doesn't matter if they were talking back, if they were accused of a crime, if they had committed a crime in the past, if they were being rude, because if you're a police officer, you have to restrain yourself. You're not allowed to let emotion take over, because if you make a mistake, you're not only doing so while representing yourself, you're doing so while representing your department, and your government. In short: Let's not go about blaming the victims here. If you leave your car unlocked, I'm not any less guilty of theft if I take from it. If you're rude to a cop, you're no less guilty of being assaulted if they throw you to the ground violently, and you're certainly no less dead if they shoot you." It's a little all over, because I was really, really annoyed, but still. I also posted a picture of the Red Guy from Cow and Chicken because it would make a lot more sense coming from him than from Chicken.

Huh, I actually didn't know that. Based solely on my Physics I understanding of springs, I have absolutely no idea how someone could actually think that leaving a spring compressed for several years would somehow make it work better. In any case, it was certainly true for the beat-to-poo poo mags I used on deployment. Anytime I grabbed one of the spares out of our ammo cans (which were already packed when we signed over our truck from the previous unit), I was guaranteed to have one or two malfunctions, usually double feeds. Since I basically only ever used my rifle to fire warning shots at cars which were getting too close, it was never a big deal, but if I was hoarding ammo for any reason other than a desire to Go Out In A Blaze Of Glory, I would probably only keep ten or so mags ready. Loading them is a mechanical skill that these future barons of the wastelands will need to be practiced at, anyway, since they're so insistent on full-auto fire.

Dr. Arbitrary posted:387 * 2013 = 779,031 This is really useful for doing quick stuff on the GRE when they purposely use numbers too big for the calculator. For as much poo poo as standardized testing rightfully gets, they really go out of their way to find ways to accommodate those who use elegant methods to get answers rather than brute force. I practiced on some SAT prep before doing to GRE prep and the transition was smooth as hell. Doctor Butts posted:I remember somewhere, I think it was the Hacker's Manifesto, or whatever, where the writer complained about being made to show his work when he could do it in his head. There's also a pretty big failure in how we were taught math in high school to really connect the seemingly disparate points of stuff like algebra 2 with polynomials and things we learned in elementary school, like multidigit multiplication. Like if you were asked to multiply 123 x 34, you'd write them on top of each other, start with the 4, multiply up to the 3, carry the one, then to the 2 add the 1 from the carry, etc. But if you write out those same operations horizontally, it becomes (100 + 20 + 3)(30 + 4), and you see that each step you're doing is based entirely off the distributive property: 4(100) + 4(20) + 4(3) + 30(100) + 30(20) + 30(4) But maybe it's easier to write it as (120 + 3)(30 + 4) and distribute like that. Or factor a 3 out of the first grouping and a 2 out of the second so it becomes (2)(3)(40 + 1)(15 +2) = 6(41)(17) It becomes really easy to then just replace a number here or there with an x and just say "well we don't know what x is, but with some stuff we've been doing all along...." (4x + 3)(x + 4) I had to poke around these things for myself but helping some cousins with studying and seeing the way they're learning math has got me pretty jealous. The pettiness their parents (or facebook meme makers, apparently) inflict on the kids, simply because they don't get it, really sets the kids up for failure. pillsburysoldier fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Dec 21, 2015 |

The unambiguous metallurgical answer is that a continuously compressed spring will gradually deform and assume that shape...but if the alloy is selected properly and the spring is designed correctly, there will be no change in its properties over at least a million compression cycles. So, keep your magazines unloaded.

The real problem isn't "aggressive" civilians. The real problem is we now have an entire generation of spoiled, entitled cops, who believe rules and laws don't apply to them and supervisors who refuse to supervise and hold their "little law-enforcers" accountable for their behavior. Can't wait how this one turns out.

The "Armed society is a police society" idea is designed so that "certain people" get to have unrestricted access to guns and "other people" get to be assumed to have guns which is why they can be killed for being dangerous regardless of if they are armed or not. Twelve year olds being executed by police for holding toy guns and the justice system siding with the cops while white guys get to walk into Starbucks packing rifles and no one cares is the result of this.
