Madurai posted:I can't get past the paywall either. I was hoping we had some German GiPsters who couold weigh in. German goon here. I did my 9 months compulsory military service, and this isn't surprising at all. I was a Panzergrenadier, which wikipedia tells me means mechanized infantry. Anyway, our tanks would constantly break down. When we were out on field exercise during the winter, only three of our 7 tanks we took with us had functioning heating. Over the 4 weeks we were out, at any given moment, at least two of our tanks were unable to be used and had to undergo lengthy repairs. Our bulletproof vests were in shambles. At least the rifles worked. I heard that the professional soldiers got better gear than us lowly conscripts (which is understandable), but that they had similar issues, too. Our military has been drastically underfunded for quite some time. Of course, when I mention that in the D&D Germany thread ("perhaps we should spend enough money on the troops to be able to meet our NATO commitments?"), I get laughed out of the thread  To offer a small excuse, absorbing East Germany's military was apparently a huge drain, according to the NCOs in my company. We got a lot of useless tanks and equipment and buildings etc. that the military spent a lot of money to make use of it, but was ultimately forced to trash, which also cost a lot. Can's just throw a tank into a landfill, of course. Then the GDR of course had an oversized military, incurring huge personnel costs for the Bundeswehr. And we switched to a fully professional army relatively recently, conscription was abolished a bit less than 8 years ago. And there have been several ministers of defense who lost their job because they couldn't get the procurement/bureaucracy issues right. It's pretty shambolic right now tbh. I think we could do an adequate job to defend Germany from a conventional invasion, but we're not a lot of help if we have to do anything outside our borders. And of course, there's some corruption going on with funneling money into our domestic military industrial complex while not getting our money's worth out of those deals.

Can's just throw a tank into a landfill, of course. I think a fair bit of it ended up here in Finland. I have heard a story from quite a few Finnish tankers that when GDR came down Finland bought what it tought was 200 T-72's. What was delivered was those tanks and everything else you would need to run a formation of 200 tanks, including recovery vehicles, uniforms, AK's for the tank crews etc. Quite a bit of that ended up in the second-hand market (not guns, obviously), but a fair bit was trashed. Some of the vehicles were converted for the FDF for various purposes.

DoktorLoken posted:Looking on Google Maps it's a 20 minute or so walk from the south end of the campus to the north end so that says to me that they're either lazy, don't want to ride a bicycle, or the campus itself lacks good public transportation. When I was at UTexas a lot of us biked across the relatively large campus. However bike theft was by a tremendous margin the #1 crime on campus. I had several friends bikes cut right out of the rack in front of our building in broad daylight etc. The police's response was I poo poo you not "You'll just have to be careful this happens all the time" and then proceeded to tell us that the security camera over the bike rack was non-functional and just meant as a 'deterrent'. We all just used extremely lovely bikes just for commuting to / from/ around campus. Fortunately there the schools bus system wasn't too bad if biking wasn't an option.

Teflon Don, chime in if I'm wrong, but even if neither of these idiots had ever touched a gun before the police academy, they surely got gun safety drilled into them by the range cadre. So they were both suicidal. Or Hendren is a liar. That's what I'm getting out of this.

It was prolly that stupid game that went around in 2011 where you tap the magazine but hold it so it doesnt seat right, rack the slide and go to your friend " do you trust me " and pull the trigger. Needless to say there were a lot of people who seated it correctly, loaded a round, then blew their friend away. It was also referred by the media as russian roulette. vvvvvvvvvvvvvv MaxPowers fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Jan 31, 2019 |

If anybody hands me a firearm and asks if I trust them the answer will always be "hell loving no, gently caress you" said with as much contempt as I can muster as I check it myself. Out of your goddamn minds.

I handed my buddy's wife the first gun she held. I dropped the mag and racked the slide a few times on a pistol i dont keep loaded and made sure she did the same with any pistol i ever hand her. Who the gently caress just gets handed a gun and trusts its empty?

Out of your goddamn minds. I don't trust myself, let alone others. First thing I do when I touch a firearm is clear it, and I don't keep any loaded as a general rule. Although I keep one handgun with a loaded 17 round magazine inserted on an empty chamber. Looking at the single revolver I own (An awesome ex-NYS Department of Corrections S&W Model 10 in .38spl), I can't imagine randomly spinning the cylinder and then pulling the trigger. Literally probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of people doing, yet it routinely happens.

Here's a good article on the bullshit states like Texas try to pull with fearmongering and disenfranchisement/suppression. tl;dr Texas said 95,000 non-citizens were registered to vote, and 58,000 of them had voted since 1996. Literally no check done by anyone between the state or major media outlets, they just ran with it. Now Texas is quietly going "um maybe we weren't right about that". https://www.texastribune.org/2019/01/29/texas-voter-citizenship-list-problems-state-tells-counties/ For what its worth, the Texas Tribune saw the flimsy proof the state made its claims on and immediately called it out as bullshit.

Donnie poo poo out a Twitter message congratulating himself for the Dow going over 25k. His syphilitic swiss-cheese brain let him forget that this is the third tweet he's squeezed out of his colon celebrating himself for the exact same 25k number over the last few years.
