The propellant is built into the bullet, like a solid-fuel rocket booster.

Th HK was also designed to use caseless ammo, further complicating the machinery of the weapon…

Because we dont have a feb 29 EVERY four years…

I have Prime Video cause Im still on my dads family plan, otherwise I wouldnt pay for it. Theres a couple series/mini series that are decent. They also have a deep catalogue of B-list sci-fi movies that I enjoy sometimes…

In Europe, you can drive for five hours and cross through five cities in three countires. In the US, you can drive five hours and still be in LA.

I think there is one thing backwards here, the US didnt embrace the car which lead to suburbs, but embraced suburbs which lead to using cars. The decision (which really wasnt a conscious one, more just the way it worked out) is based entirely on the vast geography of the country. We have the extra space, so we used it, and needeing cars followed.

The older cities in the US that were built based on European standards all have fairly excellent public networks (NYC, Boston, Philly, etc)

One thing that deserves special note is the US, aside from being more spread out in general, has a lot more sprawling suburbs with downtown areas…if you live near the downtown, then everything is walkable, but maybe 20% of a towns population in any given suburb will be that close, and thats a generous estimate.

As an American who has lived in the EU, walking / biking like you can do there just plain is not possible for MOST of the US. As other have mentioned, if you live in a major city, or in the center of a suburb, then it may not be so bad.

On a similar note, this sprawl is the same reason that public transport on the EUs level isnt viable in the US…there would need to be too many stops and too many routes to get decent coverage, and when you math it out, having cars is the most economical decision for most of the country.

I got a set of these for my dad, he absolutely loves em

I would contend Harperton are comparable quality and somewhat less expensive

Someone once described LimeWire to me as, “having unprotected sex with the internet,” and they were completely right.

The Boys has stadily gone downhill, to the point S04 was outright tedious to watch, at least for me.

Fallot was really good, and I hope they dont ruin it.

We must construct additional pylons!

That damned dolphin…

I can make more money working during the delivery process than Id save by picking it up myself or taking time to cook.

As someone who lives in Ohio, I can sadly say that despite several attempts and filing complaints, doordash has refused to deliver me a single cat, and has since suspended my account.

Truly underrated comment. Most political conversations devolve into ranting about republicans, without any real concept of just what it will take to actually affect a change.

Unless theyre blocked by a non-compete

The games introduce the portal gun as a prototype, and aperture falls apart without any indication it was ever anything but

I teach guitar. I have lost more students to a crappy beginner instrument than to any lack of desire, ambition, or ability.
