My theory is that Fire decided he was a girl once he realized he'd never win the Oppression Olympics as a straight, white, male. Because transexuals are obviously the most oppressed minority ever. Personally I can't wait until he decides that's not enough either and starts gallivanting around in blackface. Am I suggesting that Fire might cut his dick off to win arguments on the internet? Yes, yes I am

IIRC he decided to become a girl after that tiny dicked idiot Elliot Rodger killed some people and he didn't want to be associated with men anymore.

A longtime SJW poster with 10+ years of history. He first got noticed for flipping out over a critical review from the front page about Princess Maker 2, a Japanese game seemingly aimed at pedophiles.

Follow that with 10 years of being so LF that even the vast majority of LF posters hated him. It gets interesting again a couple years ago when he absolutely lost it after we messed with him in the Bradley Manning thread. He ended up claiming that the Taliban had the moral high ground on us. Hagataka burned him really good by posting that he had a lot in common with the Taliban because they like their kids wide eyed and tied up, and he likes them slant eyed and animated; or something to that effect, it was hilarious. He got his avatar changed to Princess Maker several times and then pretended to ragequit.

Yet another training event that I would like to see safety plan write up for. You'd need a signature from way up the food chain if cooking off grenades was legit part of the training plan.

What does this mean? Like milking time off before you throw it?

I was by no means an "individual" with "pride" or "self-respect" while I was in but I definitely wouldn't participate in that nonsense.

You guys cooked live grenades? i remember cooking those training grenades in basic, and then some training afterwards but with training grenades again.

gently caress, cooking with real grenades doesn't sound fun at all.

Yes, letting the spoon fly and holding it before tossing it. It'd be one thing if I was doing it myself, but I don't want to be around when PV2 Fucknuts is on the line. :stare:

Cooking off is milking time, yes. A common timer is 4-6 seconds, cooking is holding it for 2-3 of those seconds and hoping the loving thing doesn't go early.

Now that I think about it, the only time we 'cooked' grenades in boot was with the dummies, basically just a primer but a hollow grenade body, no real risk unless you pull the pin and put the hole to your eye.

Unless that's the only (non-50%-casualty) option available to you for clearing a multi-level building and you are like right now like no poo poo clearing a multi-level building maybe that's a skill best left undeveloped.

never said it was a smart thing to do, just that it was something they will mention while you're playing with the practice grenades.

I always wanted to see what a wp would do to a hemmt, if it would burn through that massive piece of poo poo 8v71 and everything beneath it, or just fizzle out halfway through a differential.

Also who uses the term "cooking off" to refer to something NOT detonating?

Every other example of "cooking off" involves something blowing up next to your face.
