Wait what? Is it a non-union gig? Isn't that basically the entire reason IATSE almost went on strike last year? People were sleeping in their cars and I think more than one person died from falling asleep at the wheel after long exhausting shifts.

Clint's reptiles and casual disregard for the mental health of others.

Are we canceling Clint now?  I suppose he could've warned about the dog photo but I think he's making a good and important point which is that dogs way more people (the most, IIRC, if you don't count deer who just jump in front of cars) and we shouldn't be too afraid of gators. Plus its his own photo and you kind of know what to expect from a "gator almost tore this woman's hand off" video so whatever.

Not at all cancelling. Clint's videos and message over all, and the point of the video are things I can agree with. That's why it seems so disconcerting that it appears to be so casually handled. I'm not saying she needs rescuing or anything of the sort, but yeah, it would not be surprising to learn that being dragged into the water by an animal powerful and large enough to tear off your arm and eat it would be traumatizing, regardless of how familiar with the individual animal she was. I don't think she was surprised by the video, but just because she knew about it ahead of time, doesn't mean it wasn't bringing back some real lovely memories for her. This aspect of the video was seemingly not addressed, and that seems careless to me. Maybe I'm a little extra touchy, since I got a hosed mind from a couple horror shows at work. mobby_6kl posted:Plus its his own photo and you kind of know what to expect from a "gator almost tore this woman's hand off" video so whatever.

You'd still have some heating just due to how thermodynamics works, but that's a fairly minor problem compared to everything else that needs to be solved in order to make a coilgun a practical weapon.

The only situation where electrically powered guns would make any sense is where you already have a lot of surplus power available - and the only way that would apply to infantry weapons is if they plugged into wall outlets. Or we got some truly scifi new portable power sources, I guess - but with the energy densities involved, it'd probably be more effective to use them in the warheads of something launched the traditional way.

MisterOblivious posted:Shoot more bullets > shoot bigger bullets/shoot more accurately. The "shoot more" part of your comment is true, but the "shoot accurate" part isn't. Lighter bullets are less accurate at long ranges, and have a lot less stopping power. The US Army is adopting a new round with a heavier bullet, in a bigger caliber, fired at absolutely insane velocities, using a multi-part multi-metal case to save weight. All because the people that use AK-47 against US troops figured out that even though their weapon is crazy inaccurate compared to the M-16/M-4, then can just ambush from further away and the US troops would only have like 1 Designated Marksman that could return fire effectively. How did the Mass Effect 2 codex escape into real life?

Does War Machine from Marvel canonically use caseless ammo? He's got a pretty beefy power supply.

We need them for our space guns so we can plug them back in after a mission and not have to worry about carrying enough gunpowder for a multi generation space voyage. Obviously.
