My heart smiles at the thought of the first crew to actually command this thing in a war zone pulling security on some unknown pile of rubble and being awoken at 0347 by their tank unexpectedly dumping its entire payload on an “enemy” that it hallucinated.
Granted, dumb privates do this too, but it’s funnier to think about the tank doing it all by itself.
I like this idea better than the recoilless rifle conversion I was thinking about.
…attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could…
Oh my, if only there were someone with the resources and authority to do something about it.
…why not just use the CC on Amazon?
I think it’s because people think giving pure cash is thoughtless and basic.
This idea needs to die. I’d rather have $10 cash that I can stash away to save up for something that I actually want than a $25 gift card that locks me in to a single store.
I’m at a stage in my life where I can generally buy little things when I want to. But my wife and I don’t make enough to regularly drop hundreds or thousands of dollars on non-essentials, and my other family members can’t do more than $25 or maybe $50 for birthdays or Christmas.
It took me years to convince my parents and wife to just give me cash. When I finally did, it enabled me to save up for a $1k guitar over several years.
I’d much rather have one awesome gift every 5 years than a steady stream of $35 gift certificates to various stores and restaurants.
Not giving someone what they’re actually asking for is far less thoughtful than cash.
I got a Dunkin Donuts card a few years ago too. The nearest location to me is about 600 miles away. Awesome.
I’m more concerned with the transformations from customers to product.
“Hey, buy our expensive shit but also give us all your data so we can also sell it to other companies.”
A lot of unpopular “features” and behaviors used to have DISM, policy, or registry workarounds. And MS seems to love to kill those workarounds during later updates.
If MS isn’t letting people uninstall it, there’s a reason for it, and I’d be willing to bet that users will one day find that it has been magically re-enabled by an update.
my sister has two children that are 7 and 5…
…and would rather watch elsa getting impregnated by spiderman.
Who is showing the kid R34 animations?
I know quite a few local FFLs and not a single one of them would risk their license and livelihood by knowingly selling to straw purchasers.
I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation’s new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don’t know why I thought we might break the cycle.

Bullshit branding on point.
Yes, but choose one with a smaller beaver tail. The 75 series would be far too pokey in the clavicle.
Suppressive fire is a thing, and it does look like this would be good enough to do that.
The real limitation is magazine capacity for that role. Slap a drum mag on there instead and you’ve got a winner.
security experts Runa Sandvik and Michael Auger demonstrated that naive software design left the rifle’s aiming computer open to remote hacking when its Wi-Fi capability was turned on
Not even “smart” weapon designers are taking embedded device security seriously enough. I wish I were surprised.
They don’t care as long as they can get in, make a few bucks, and get out. Long-term stability isn’t the priority anymore, just quick profits.
A single strand would be a delight. I seem to always get a full face full of web.
Imma get real pedantic here - “thermite” is just a composition, like C4, TNT, or PETN. Those drones show just one of many specific delivery methods, spraying or dropping pre-ignited thermite as they moves To say that “[thermite] sprays flammable liquid everywhere” isn’t correct, but burning thermite can be spread like those drones do.
