mircea_popescu: one day he got really spunky, and his
three bear wives ran off in
this peculiar manner of females whose cunt is sore.
mircea_popescu: mkay. so in
th forest
there lived
this very horny, huge schlong bear. sort of like one eye pete of
the beardom.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> enemy might be covered in magical armour, but he still has, presumably, a visor <<
this reminds me, you know
the horny bear joke ?
mircea_popescu: it won'tr come down
to who has many people
that can and will fire a rifle.
mircea_popescu: it's just... you know
that no modern war will be won by small arms fire. like if
the uys and china went at each other
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, a lot happened in
terms of "market
trials" on subjects such as "Full" v "intermediate" power rounds and ideal caliber at any power

BingoBoingo: I find reading about
these
things interesting because of
the engineering and implementation issues raised. Like last night's electrolytic machining discussion.
BingoBoingo: Oh
there are cheapos in
the actual caliber
BingoBoingo: You can get copper plated, but yeah. Fouling is an issue.
Thankfully
the solution instills good habits
mod6: yea, cheap & easy
to shoot.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But
the chamber in
the standard 5.56x45mm barrel is wider
to accomodate all
that case. Unless
the very cheap want a sleeve
to solve
that dimensional disparity at risk
to limb...
BingoBoingo: Nothing
to do with caliber, in
the AR/M-16 style rifle
the entire upper switches out with
the removal of pins and replacement of bolt carrier springs. As long as
the new caliber round is no longer
than 45mm it works.
mod6: yeah, you got nothin over 100m with
that
though. fine for qcb, but how are you supposed
to reach out and
touch someone in
the field?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
the .22 (for non-usians,
the familiar 'olympic' caliber) rifle is also explained by cost: roughly 1/2 - 1/3 of a 'proper' m16. low pressure round, can use garbage metals. << In police department purchasing general practice is buying actual M-16
type and
them getting .22LR uppers
to go with
them
kdomanski: the Internet
tells me Westboro Baptist Church is in neither of
these states
BingoBoingo offer merely rumours and inuendo in supposing S IN might have such
things
BingoBoingo: If
there is one
thing Southern Illinois has over Southern Indiana its
that.
BingoBoingo: I'm and
the places in
the US I consider
traveling before my eventual exodus all seem
to be upwind of
those problems
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: claimable by someone who knows exactly what
they are doing, but not by a bunch of hillbillies
mod6: you'd
think
they would want
to destroy
those and
the nukes. but
they won't, because
they can't see
the forest
through
the
trees.
mod6: either way. same
thing happened in
the ussr iirc.
mod6: or sold off by .mil guys
trying
to cash in
kdomanski: mod6: when
the usg falls I hope it's caches of chemical weapons are secure
mod6: shoots pretty much like
the 16 or ar15/m16
mod6: the 417? na, its got a recoil sprint in
the stock-tube.
mod6: just
think of all
the
toys
that'll be avaliable. =D
mod6: when
the usg falls, i'll be buyin!
mod6: i shot one of
those rugers with
the integrated supressor once, it was hilarious, made no sound at all other
than
the action.
BingoBoingo: Right, but
the large caliber stuff looks cool and costs money.
kdomanski: today
they gold-plate .45 guns and carry
them around for show
mod6: i shot a
thompson once, was great :)
mircea_popescu: no wait, in
the 20s it was bb pellets. what do you
think
thompson fires ?
mircea_popescu: dude im missing out on
the party. i
thought gangland was mostly 45
BingoBoingo: kdomanski_: In Missouri you can buy
them without an NFA provided it was manufactered in Missouri
kdomanski_: BingoBoingo:
they're actually popular for gang hits, because it's
trivial
to make an effective supressor for
them
BingoBoingo: The small rimfire calibers
though still kill plenty of people in
the city (cheap effective enough if
trying)
BingoBoingo: But if
those assault rifles are mostly for looks and fitted with .22lr uppers could contribute
to
the explanation for why
the cop got
trigger happy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well no updates on
the confinscated bullet
mircea_popescu: would be kinda cool if
the next few crowd shooters adopt
this strategy as
the maximal damge game
theoretic solution.
mircea_popescu: i bet you if you asked
the whole complement of us police it'd be
their honest estimation
that in
their absence
the whole population would simply die overnight.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo gotta admire
the mindframe
these grunts get into.
mircea_popescu: “It was havoc at
that
time. He also got urine
thrown on him, having
to deal with
that is obviously disgusting,” Jiminez said. “However, when he‘s
trying
to protect
the public and asking people
to back up, under no circumstances do I, or our department, condone his language.”
BingoBoingo: ( .22LR is sometimes
talked on in police circles as an acceptable "escalation" from rubber"
assbot: Officer who
threatened
to kill protester in Ferguson suspended | KMOV.com St. Louis
assbot: Last
trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00064114 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mostly remarkable for "Russia, already
the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, is weighing up plans
to become
the biggest supplier of helium,
the inert gas vital for medical scanners, welding
tools and rocket fuel, as
the U.S. sells reserves from storage."
mircea_popescu: good
to know
the us govt is in some way related
to every modern atrocity.
mircea_popescu: "The U.S. government had a world monopoly on helium and in
the mid-1930s refused
to sell any
to
the Zeppelin Co. in Germany, which is why
the Hindenburg was filled with highly-flammable hydrogen when it exploded."
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> H2 Airship is probably near
the Platonic form of of cheap and angry << or in any case, a good rendition of a very large matchstick.

to
Top Helium Supply as U.S. Sells Reserve - Bloomberg

mircea_popescu: i mean sure bits here and
there in normal course of business, but
that's about all.
mircea_popescu: an infinite supply of such examples is how
the idea
that normal people aren't entitled and shouldn't be entitled
to an opinion came about.
mircea_popescu: in
the moment
they FEEL
they're just like you.
then later,
they're no longer around
to eat dirt, and if
they are
they won't eat
the dirt anyway.
jurov: maybe silica aerogel filled with h2 could be used someday...it can be expected
to not be explosive
thanks
to its
thermal insulative properties
BingoBoingo: (soviet atomic dirigible would've probably flown with H2 from sea water. because cheap and angry.) << H2 Airship is probably near
the Platonic form of of cheap and angry
ben_vulpes: i remember buying some mpoe last
time it was
this low
pete_dushenski: or maybe mp dumped his own stock
to buy bigger boobs
to go with his raw salmon?
