Unburned tobacco smells lovely. Walk into a cigar shop’s humidor to learn what I mean.
Every chapter must come to its natural close. That is what starts the next chapter.

I switched to PC (linux) late last year and my PS Plus membership lapsed in April of this year. I won’t be back.

There is some band overlap, but I am no expert.

I didn’t have eleventy billion updooterinos on Reddit, but I had a fair share. When they made their stand around 2 years ago, I nuked my profile and bailed.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Why do ICE/fake cops need silencers? (Los Angeles)English2·13 days agoDrywall and wood are wildly different than brick walls in stopping power, and I would absolutely agree that most bullets (even the lead-nosed [or soft] bullets) will go through several layers of gypsum and at least one layer of wood and retain lethality.
One correction: Green tips are different than you describe. They can penetrate low level body armor because of the steel core. They are not soft core. They penetrate low level body armor because the softer lead and copper jacket deform / slough off, and then the steel core continues to move through.
The M855 round was designed to penetrate through vehicles (doors and windows) and still be lethal to unarmored occupants. They just happen to be relatively effective at piercing low level armor as well.
Edit: To go back to my original thought: I still do not believe that these rifles should be leveraged by the police.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Why do ICE/fake cops need silencers? (Los Angeles)English41·15 days agoThose rounds will go straight through a human body, straight through a brick wall, and still be lethal.
This is incorrect. The 5.56 / .223 cartridge is not like in the movies. The nose of the bullet deforms on impact by design.
There are precious few cartridges that will “go through a brick wall”. There are even fewer that would be lethal on the other side of that wall.
My thought is that these rifles have no business being leveraged for this application.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Why do ICE/fake cops need silencers? (Los Angeles)English73·15 days agoSingle shots from rifles do not cause permanent hearing loss.
A better question is how can other cops bring a rifle into a densely populated area WITHOUT a silencer?
I dont even know how to respond to this part. Maybe don’t have the cops come in with the expectations to use the weapon?

THIS IS PURELY A METHOD OF AVOIDING TAXES.Never donate to charities through one of these big companies. If you want to donate, then do so directly.
Anything else just helps the corporation wash their image by gathering money and then donating to whichever cause.
They do so and also take all of that money off of their taxable requirement.Edit: was wrong.
Isnt he guilty of a bit north of 3 and a half dozen felonies?
