"Germany is also rapidly learning that American manhood, plus American marksmanship, plus American weapons, is a combination which spells for the Kaiser’s armies complete defeat."  I love the Americans swinging their dicks around in the last six months of a war that was already going to end before the next winter, like the loving trench shotgun was what did it. This whole thing is America.txt as hell.

Do people actually pretend that the shotgun is the worst offender in the "weapons that cause unnecessary suffering" aspect of WW1? e: I mean it's probably not even in the top 20

When I was in Italy I went on a tour of their air raid bunkers and the guide spent a good five minutes talking about how the British were nice about their air raids and would announce them in advance and wouldn't bomb at night or on Sunday, but when the evil Americans entered the war they would often try to catch the Italians by surprise and would never fight honorably. Always interesting to see what each side decided was "unfair"

War is supposed to be a meat grinder and one side should only be able to win by having the fortitude to throw men into it for longer than it's opponent can. Using strategy of any kind is unsporting.

It's the pressure on the bottom that's making it spray out, grab the keg and flip it over! Or just freak out and panic and do nothing useful, that's good too.

Sure it would spray, but instead of the carbonation forcing beer out it would just be forcing air/some foam instead of making an absurd mess.

It made a "small spray of champagne" mess, not a "all of this keg of beer is draining out at speed" mess. Most beers in kegs like that aren't very heavily carbonated, so it wouldn't foam out for long. Unless you didn't turn it upside down, in which case gravity, as always, will gently caress you.

If I were in that situation I would probably have tapped into my extensive Krav Maga training and expertly flipped the keg using my catlike reflexes, minimizing leakage.

Here's a fun exercise. Take a big soda bottle, fill it with water, punch a hole in the bottom with a screwdriver. Notice how the it doesn't drain nearly as fast or violent as a CARBONATED KEG.

This sort of thing is still at the root of most gun control. A lot of politicans loving hate the idea of poor people having guns, especially if they are also black.

Platystemon posted:You could cast a solid uranium pineapple grenade and it still wouldn’t weight five pounds. Actually.... First, let's model an M67 grenade, which is smaller than a Mk 2 pineapple grenade. It has the advantage of being easier to model because the body is more spherical. Per Wikipedia, it has a diameter of 2.5". A sphere 2.5" in diameter is 8.2 cubic inches. and 8.2 cubic inches of uranium 238 is 5.64 lbs. That's not even counting the volume of the fuse, pin and spoon, nor the slightly larger dimensions of a Mk 2.

It finally happened. The Prenda law saga is pretty much over. John Steele has pled guilty to mail fraud and money laundering, in an exceedingly detailed pleading that runs to sixteen pages. https://www.popehat.com/2017/03/06/prenda-saga-update-john-steele-pleads-guilty-admits-entire-scheme/ quote:Steele's plea agreement with the government is extensive even by federal standards. (State pleas are frequently completed with a few mumbled words on the record; federal pleas are wordy, impenetrable creatures that can be torture to explain to a client.) The factual basis section — which Steele admits is true (as to facts he knows) or that the government can prove (as to facts he doesn't know directly) — is a startling 16 pages long and lavishly documents the entire scheme, complete with many details that accusers have been pointing out for years. In short, Steele admits that he and Hansmeier used sham entities to obtain the copyright to (or in some cases film) porn, uploaded it to file-sharing websites, and then filed "false and deceptive" copyright suits against downloaders designed to conceal their role in distributing the films and their stake in the outcomes. They lied to courts themselves, sent others to court to lie, lied at depositions, lied in sworn affidavits, created sham entities as plaintiffs, created fraudulent hacking allegations to try to obtain discovery into the identity of downloaders, used "ruse defendants" (strawmen, in effect) to get courts to approve broad discovery into IP addresses. Steele, through the plea, admits to — and implicates Hansmeier in — a nationwide scheme to defraud many courts. Taking the sentencing guidelines into account, and the aggravating/mitigating factors, he's looking at around 10 years in Federal prison. Unless he rolls over on his partner in crime. Which he probably will.

You fought the battle in the Pacific alone and won by the skin of your teeth, and had to resort to an atomic bluff when the Soviets beat you to Japan
