One of the replies says this is as much energy as the impact (minus any high explosive charge) of one of these:


I dunno, I think the dino spew would hit harder. That's an inert training round.

E: then again, maybe it's the kind of training round that does still go bang, but just doesn't explode when it hits

Inert, in this case, means no explosive payload in the bullet. Its not going any slower than a non-training bullet, it just doesnt explode on impact.

That could actually be a dummy round. It appears to be in someone's house, and 20mm ammo is regulated as destructive devices. But the actual training rounds look pretty much the same.

"The original Terminator was a gritty fucking AMAZING piece of sci-fi. Gritty fucking rock-hard MURDER!"
I am everybody’s grandma and listen to me when I say there are three lessons in life
1. forget all the bigoted poo poo that imposter grandma told you
2. Learn about brooms
3. Get two good brooms

I recommend a whisk broom (handheld) and an old-fashioned/Amish broom (what y’all been discussing), both with corn bristles.

A besom broom is a witch-rear end broom, rounded and using twigs. (This is also a ‘twig broom’; grandma wasn’t wrong just talking about something else that is better for gravel and specifically larger objects and missing the fine particles, like for sweeping rocks from a dirt entryway).

But also broom terminology is thrown about very haphazardly. Sometimes the tall ones are called whisk with or without the standing handle to anchor with. Sometimes they call those polypropylene motherfuckers whisk brooms. Sometimes they call corn old-fashioned brooms corn besom brooms.

Honestly, i thought it was a 25mm bushmaster round, but it looks a little small.

Blue is nato standard for training rounds, meaning inert projectile, live round.

The non-firing training rounds youre talkimg abkut have to be plastic and all one colour so that they dont get mixed in with live ammo.

As for the round being in someone's house, i may or may not have seen mortar rounds at someones house in Canada, so just because you shouldnt have them doesnt mean you dont.

The ammunition is presumably exerting its force on a far smaller area than the dinovom, and with a more varied set of shapes and textures, so I think there's further modelling to do before we draw any conclusions about how unpleasant it would be to stand underneath.

someone calculate the force needed to push vomit up the neck and compare it to estimates of the dinosaur's muscles.

basically what I'm saying is, they probably lowered their head to throw up.

A page late, but it is 100% worth it. Gorgeous soundtrack, some of Clooney's best acting, and cuts to the heart of the original in a fraction of the time. I love the Soderberg Solaris.

It's kids having fun, and if it gives McDonalds a boost in sales it's probably mostly using money that would have been spent on either other fast food, or junk food from a 7/11 or whatever.

It’s not exactly tough for corporate marketers to spin “this new product has been good for attention and sales” as a positive thing for them, whether on brand or not.

Are there even examples of companies that made more money in a way that wasn’t “on brand” and cared?

So they earned more money but their brand became chuddy? Good on them if they thought the extra profitability wasn’t worth it, capitalism disincentivises those types of thoughts.

I thought the stereotype of brand marketers being word about brand safety and things being “on brand” was because then they weren’t, it tended to cost me.
