That's not exactly true. The.22 is far more dangerous than most people suspect because of it's LACK of power. A.22 will not break bones and will bounce. One shot to the rib cage and the round may bounce through 3 or 4 times before coming to rest. It's a small hole, but it's a really long, small hole.
Also: The US Army does not use the.223. We use 5.56mm. It's close and a.223 will fire a 5.56, but a 5.56 will not safely fire a.223 because the round is too light.
Personally, I carry a.45 and own a HK91 and Mossberg 500 for home defense. 7.62 is a great round, but nothing will beat a 12 guage in the dark.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that all ATT sales people are so dumb. My ex-wife worked for ATT while we were married and she knew more about cell phones than I could ever hope to know, and I was the techno-gek in the relationship. She worked for a fairly low volume store in an area with lots of high-end companies. When people came in they would normally have very specific questions they would ask looking for the best phone for their needs. She had to learn everything about every phone ATT sold, as well as all of their other services.
Sales people are like everyone else, there are good ones and bad ones. The good ones make money, the bad ones tick people off until they quit or get fired.
I'm sure he did. Best I can remember his wife was pretty tough herself had would have been pretty ticked at him for going and getting "chicks" as often as you make it seem.
But yeah, get shot while killing 50 germans and stop an advancing line of tanks from the top of a burning tank all by yourself and you pretty much earn your choice of women.
The picture is either old, or of a different ship.
The system has nothing to do with the little red light, it senses the light processing unit of the camera and blinds it with a laser. You could cover up that little red light all you wanted and it wouldn't have any effect, your photo would still be crapped. No digital camera, didital video recorder, even camera phone will work.
A poster above asked if it would affect a regular film camera and no, it wouldn't. Not unless the system was manually aimed at the camera. The system can't detect film cameras to disable them on it's own, but manually aiming in at one would still flood the film with light and return pictures of nothing.
My question is about the legality of such a device. Lord knows he couldn't pull up to port in England (or any other location with govt. monitored CCTV cameras) and disable their systems without some major issues. If there was a bank, govt. office, or other importany building nearby with security cameras it wouldn't be legal to disable them either.
Which pretty much means that you can't use this system in dock, so you can only use it at sea, and really, how many paparazzi are out at sea?
And what is this guy doing on this ship that he doesn't want pictures taken of it?
When I first read the summary, I thought it was the worst thing I've ever heard, but as I think about it, I can't help but agree with you.
I don't think the first time a woman goes to the hospital for injuries from an abusave spouse, the incurance company should be able to deny that claim, but once there is a pattern, yes.
Why should someone else help pay for your problem? You could have left, but chose not to. Maybe knowing that the next time this happens you will have to foot the bill will help give people the courage to leave abusive relationships.
I know more that one person who has been in an abusive relationship. One stayed "for the kids," and let me tell you, that was the worst thing she could have done "for the kids." Pretty soon not only was she being abused, but so were the children she wanted to protect.
Pain is a very useful sensation. Pain keeps people from doing stupid things, or from CONTINUING to do stupid things.
Ever been burned by hot water? If you were to sit in water over 110 for very long you would litterally boil yourself to death. When you put your feet in the tub and scream, that's your body's way of telling you not to boil yourself.
Ever had a broken bone? When you move a broken bone your body quickly tells you that doing so isn't the best idea by kicking in the pain. Moving it will lenghen the time it takes to heal.
Touch a hot stove often? cut yourself while shaving? sunburn? all of those things are things you want to avoid, but wouldn't know to without pain.
And you do NOT want a 1200lb cow without the ability to feel pain. That fence that keeps it from escaping onto the freeway wouldn't hold her in very long if the cow didn't feel pain. Cows are large, but not very bright. They don't understand what a car is. They don't understand what a road is. They just know they're wandering.
Evolution is a wonderful thing. If we don't need something, evolution gets rid of it. And just because we've gotten all technological and all now does not diminish the fact that we still need to feel pain.
Multi-Tillion is easy. It sounds like a troll, but it's a good idea.
Put off Obamacare for the next decade or three. Take that money and throw at the power grid/AE sources. When that is up and running we'll be saving enough money on foreign oil and power bills that we can afford health care.
Actually, the chances of two consecutive coin flips landing on the same side are EXACTLY 50%.
The first flip won't matter because there's nothing to match it to. It's the second flip which matters. Coin 1: Heads >Coin 2: Heads Coin 1: Heads >Coin 2: Tails Coin 1: Tails >Coin 2: Heads Coin 1: Tails >Coin 2: Tails
Here are the only 4 outcomes of the flips. 1 and 4 would count as successful attempts. Therefore 50%
Each consecutive flip would square the previous chances of a failure.
Punitive damages? It probably won't even go to court. Chances by now, that lady doesn't have a mortgage anymore and there's a mortgage loan officer asking if you want to upsize your combo for 60 cents.
Seriously, if the bank expects her to pay them one penny after this, they're full of it and deserve the lawsuit.
>as it is against company policy to be armed on the job, even with a permit.
That's not legal though. at least not here in Mississippi where I live. Part of our Concealed Carry Law states that it is illegal for an employer to disallow employes to carry firearms as long as they are legally premitted to carry them.
I've had to use this before when delivering pizza for one of the large national chains. I had an incident where I was forced to draw my sidearm while attempting to deliver the daily deposit to the bank and was almost fired by the big people in the national office until I sent them a nice copy of the law in a letter. I never heard from them again. Meanwhile my manager gave me a raise for not losing the store's money.

Actually, when this becomes real a tinfoil hat may be the very last thing you'd want to wear. I'm assuming this is sort of like what happens if you go near really high capacity power lines with a flouescent bulb, where the power in the air is enough to cause the bulb to light. It's also enough that having lived near one long enough I can attest that metal isn't fun to wear near one.

What ever happened to "for the People, by the People" ???
It became to the people. Didn't you get the memo?
You're right... Because Earth is WAY to small to hold any of that hydrogen stuff...

Not at all.

>>People also used leather as armor, but so far no one has dug up a leather sword.
Um, I'm pretty sure that would be called a whip. And yes, we dig those up all the time. Some people still use them in fact...
A leather whip can do just as much damage as a sword. It may not be as sharp, but the tip of a whip is the fastest thing short of a fighter jet.

You mean like the Virginia Tech shootings which were stopped by two law students with handguns INSTEAD of by tackling him?
Or how the Pearl High shootings were stopped by a teacher who went to his car and got his pistol?
Remember, the reason they make holsters for pistols, is because cops won't fit on your belt...

Neither am I... That's just gross.
Who wants a ferarri when you can have a lotus for less than half the price though? Hell, you can get a cesna for less than half and those really fly.
I just got caught reading slashdot at work because of you. The boss heard me laughing and came to inspect. Curse you and your funny jokes!
No, the moderator just plays PC games and works for a video game store.
