A FUCKIN CANARY!!
Nov 9, 2005


FWIW every time I've seen someone using tannerite in real life it's been for its intended purpose of being made into a little target that gives better feedback on hits at long range (300+ meters) instead of packing a bunch of it into something else to make a huge bomb and setting it off right to to them.

In the last episode of Robot Wars, a robot with the largest and most powerful spinner bar ever blows itself to bits the first time it actually gets to use it. Which is pretty good entertainment.

The schad comes from the leader of the team being a cock (by his own teammates ready admission).

I particularly love him getting upset with his already blown apart robot getting dumped in the pit.

Him getting mad that his blown up robot got dropped down a pit is good, but I also like that the team his was competing against was a group of children. Like, it's done thing to act like a huge dick and lose. It's another entirely to act like a huge dick to children and then also lose to them. It's even funnier.

I need a gif of that slo-mo zoom in of the robot's positive feedback bouncing, because that was very good. It wouldn't have been an issue if they'd just stopped the bar for a couple of seconds.

e: Also, the kid clapping until she realizes that the bar is flying out of the ring is hilarious.

Even 50,000 pounds of pressure from a hydraulic press won't detonate tannerite. The only way you could rig up a bomb with tannerite that didn't require shooting it would be to generate the amount of energy from a rifle round directly into the tannerite, which generally means another explosion.

At that point, you may as well just use whatever explosive you have for the detonator and make more of it.

I own a shotgun solely for home defense. It won't penetrate walls for the most part, it's easy to use, and it is locked in a chest under my bed. Guns aren't inherently bad, it's people who use them as penis replacements that are what makes it go bad.

I own a couple of bats for home defense (small apartment in security building). They won't penetrate walls for the most part, they are easy to use, and they are in my bedroom closet. Guns aren't inherently bad, it's people who use them as penis replacements that are what makes it go bad.

Yeah that's great if your home is attacked by moths or something. Or tangerines if they're fruit bats.

I'm confused by what you mean here, but by all means keep attacking someone who is 100% on the side of gun control. Owning a gun doesn't make you an bad person you twats.

That's one hell of an age gap - he was born in 1944, she in 1964. (But according to IMDB they really are brother and sister!)

e: vv oh, not at all! My dad and his youngest sister are 16 years apart. I was just thinking "she looks great for someone with a 73-year-old brother" and went and looked it up.

My grandparents had kids early and often. My oldest aunt's oldest son (my cousin) is about 3 months older than my youngest uncle. My aunt had her first kid at 17, so that's less of a gap between kids than between these two. Made for some entertaining stories when they were in school together.

Yeah, if he was born in 1944, it probable was the parents banging right before the dad shipped out to war, and then later on once things settled down more.
