I am kinda curious why they thought the engineers had overlooked safety. It's kinda silly to think they hadn't actually, you know, thought about gravity. Kids today...
Regular speeding is a criminal matter, in AUS? It is a civil offense, most places. Well, unless you're going really fast. That is often called Criminal Speeding, a wholly different charge. I would be kinda surprised if it were criminal in Oz.
They are much quieter with small calibers. They're still not silent. They don't sound anything like they do in the movies. (Yes, I've fired quite a few rounds through a suppressor.)
Oh, I'm now a chickenologist, though I don't speak chicken. I try, but I've not yet been able to figure it out. I'd like to think I'm making strides, but that seems unlikely.
Before the chickens migrated to my house, in the Chicken Refugee Crisis, there was a coup at the coop. Roosters aren't always the boss - in fact, they're pretty much dirty rapists. They will peck at the ground and pretend they're eating bugs. The hens will fall for this and the first hen to get close, well, gets raped.
Now, at the farm, they had a big ol' hen. I call her Bossy Hen but that's not important. See, she's dead and a new Usurper Bossy Hen rules the roost. Not only was Bossy Hen murdered, presumably in a political struggle, the body was pecked to pieces. What I figure happened was Usurper Bossy Hen decided to off Bossy Hen and probably got the fat rooster to do it.
Then, after that, she made the rest of the hens swear fealty to her and perform a ritual pecking of Bossy Hen's corpse.
Shortly after this, the refugee chickens arrived. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's political. Now, I've allowed the hens to stay - and have accumulated even more. I've been here for years, it was just two years ago that they just started showing up. My thinking is that there's going to be a civil war. I call it La Pollo Revolucion because, in my head, they're like Cuban freedom fighters.
I let them stay because, well... How can I force them to go back? They need to revolt and have a democratically elected government. It's not right that they had been taken over by Usurper Bossy Hen. That's just not okay.
On a more serious note, I kinda know a lot about chickens now. I even learned how to vent sex them.
That is correct. You can get the faster rounds, they are available. Federal cartons are sub-sonics, for example. The faster will say something like Hi-Speed (which Federal does make, but I think only sells in smaller boxes and not the 500 round cartons).
I'm not sure if you understand the concept of global warming. It's global. Not to mention, stuffing stuff into the atmosphere is also going to dissipate globally.
That the other side of the planet is sometimes hotter is entirely moot. Well, unless I'm missing something? I could be, but this seems pretty simple.
Their universal (near) OS, made it much more accepted - I do believe. Name one other alternative that had a real chance? OS2? That was technically better, but had far fewer people ever working to write applications for it. DrDOS? Sure, if we wanted to be stuck with DOS - as near as i know, they had no plans to go with a GUI.
I dislike MS, but I'm pretty grateful they existed. We're probably gonna disagree.;-)
So, as I've said, I didn't actually invite the chickens. They marched their way over here and, I presume, the reasons are political. Chickens have a pecking order and this implies some sort of governance. Politics is the only logical reason for which we'd have chicken refugees on our lawn.
When the chickens, just three, first arrived - they were on the lawn when we woke up that morning. Curious, we went outside and investigated the arrival of unexpected chickens. It's a good half mile, through the woods and a field, to the farm. That's a long ways for a chicken to travel and their arrival in the morning was a mystery. Chickens are not nocturnal beasts.
So, the missus asked me, "Do chickens bite?"
I, of course, told her that they do not - and that, if they did, it certainly wouldn't be hard. I was wrong.
In the chicken's defense, she said, "You look tasty." Then she reached down to try to touch the chicken.
In self-defense, the chicken promptly bit her. It bit her hard enough to draw blood. She tries to yank her hand back and the chicken flaps and flaps while trying to hold on. She damned near had the chicken off the ground, before it finally let go.
She managed, at that point, to swear at both me and the chicken - at the same time. She was inventing swear words as she went along and would have made a sailor blush.

You're just making that, aren't you?
I'm curious, which specific statutes did they break, in that jurisdiction?

True but the GGP was about .22.
I never said they were ethical. Sheesh. ;-)

I am 100% positive that it will be dispersed globally, in time. *nods*
And that OS was?

Apps guy, sing your tune!
Suppressor. They aren't made magically silent.
The police towers are strange.
Slight nitpick, sub-sonic .22LR rounds are a thing.
Nice, thanks.
You are responsible. Rights come with responsibilities.

It turns out, chickens do bite - and hard.
Citation on most?
Not really, no. Asphalt is black. The additives were red, that's the aggregate. It contains a lot of iron. The red you see is actually rust.
Trust me, I know these things. ;-)
I don't know, but I am pretty sure I can take Linus in a fight, dark alley or not. His wife, on the other hand...
Swahili, I'm pretty sure.
Of all the suggested reasons, this is most likely.
Umm... You do know the Earth is mostly round, right?
