Fuck both of us

Above PugJesus talks about the energy of the round being very large. There's more to it.

The derringer design lacks any technology to absorb and extend the impulse of recoil, most importantly the slide found on any modern semi automatic.

Not only is there extreme recoil, there's also absolutely nothing to help the shooter deal with it.

If a potential candidate doesn't understand why there's a strong vetting process then then don't understand the changing paradigm of human communication. Teaching that is an unacceptable liability. The OpSec is on point. Great work. And, thank you for everything, including tolerance of those that don't yet understand why.

US Rep. Lauren Boebert wins Republican House primary after switching districts in Colorado

Your perspectives suck and no one's told you. This was maybe a time when you should've only asked a good question.

That's not a judgement of you as a person.

Handjob McVape chose a ridiculously gerrymandered district. This is middle class wage slaves, rural property owners, and the employees of rural property owners (incl. oil workers on rented rights).

Pot smokers worldwide lean hard left or are unengaged with their political and activist proceses.

It's not COVID making people stupid. They're just stupid, always have been, and don't know it. Humans have been choosing kings to conveniently let another reason and choose for them since the beginning of humanity. They're not changing. You are.

I know it's just a joke. But, black and brown bears are very intelligent and quite peaceful creatures. I've run into forty or fifty in the wilderness. I've never once felt the bear was considering an attack. They're smart enough to recognize our complex behaviors as a large risk to their safety.

The story of the vast majority of humans mauled by bears:

Your dog has a perfect record of defending the pack. Every single time the target either runs or turns out to be friendly. No other pack member defends. Its primary reason to exist is to defend. A bear has a perfect record of fights with anything but another bear.

One day the bear smells some food, good stuff it can't find normally. It's some campers with their dog. The dog smells the bear, full adrenaline drops for its whole reason to exist, and defends the pack. The bear wins in about one second.

The human defends the dog. The bear fights because that's what it's doing right now. Then, it reconsiders and runs away. Finally, the Forest Rangers track down and kill the bear quietly, preserving the tourism the community relies on.

We're really shitty to bears, at least here in the US. They're not even very dangerous relative an wild elk, moose, or even free range livestock. It's the big and dumb ones you need to watch out for. And marmot. Never disagree with a marmot.

will i damage my car electrical system with a 24v solar panel

Put a 12V to 24V inverter just inside the firewall. This will isolate the "noisy" vehicle power system from the more fragile solar panel and power bank. It won't be nearly as expensive as an inverter that can survive the engine bay.

The 24V output of the inverter should be wired in parallel with one or several 24V solar panels, then into the power bank input. In this configuration the vehicle power system and solar system can charge the power bank simultaneously. No action is needed to change between power modes. However, you should have a main cutoff switch, disconnecting all power from the power bank.

I highly recommend a Victron brand inverter.

Warning: Direct current (DC) systems present an extreme fire danger. Every wire must be the correct gauge, every fuse the right size, every crimp correct. No piece of the puzzle is difficult. But, one must have all of them to build a safe and reliable system.

If it's after they're elected then it'll run down the line of succession: VP, Speaker of the House, president pro tempore of the Senate, then the cabinet.

If it's before they're elected, I'm no expert but I believe the Democratic and Republican parties are private organizations that can do whatever the fuck they want, even fail to abide by the results of their own primaries.

New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves

I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth. This belief lies at the heart of the concept of revolutionary suicide. Thus it is better to oppose the forces that would drive me to self-murder than to endure them. Although I risk the likelihood of death, there is at least the possibility, if not the probability, of changing intolerable conditions. This possibility is important, because much in human existence is based upon hope without any real understanding of the odds. Indeed, we are all ill in the same way, mortally ill. But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity; and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.

Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite. We have such a strong desire to live with hope and human dignity that existence without them is impossible. When reactionary forces crush us, we must move against these forces, even at the risk of death. We will have to be driven out with a stick.

Any lemmies that are politically neutral?

There's a big difference between "I wouldn't choose that," and "They should be prevented by force from choosing that."

What you're looking for is a hate group. You can advocate not just judicial rulings limiting the freedom of minority groups, but for disposing of the minorities once and for all. If that's too extreme then you'll just need to tolerate them. Be better than those that didn't tolerate your hatred.

Fuck all that. It's not needed.

They need someone with strong reading comprehension, who can consistently reason their way from an ideology to the specific situation, then write professionally. Mods work the collective que of reports independently.

If you don't want the gig no one one is owed an explanation. But, please don't judge yourself underqualified for the wrong reasons.
