All the other stuff trump has done hasn’t exactly backfired badly enough for anything of consequence to happen. I highly doubt that this will be “The One That Does It”

Next on the list for a ban. They came for my neighbors ID, and I said nothing, then they came for my neighbors VPN, and an I did nothing, and now they are coming for me on I2P, and there is no one left to speak for me…

Shock Aaaand dismay. Dismay, yes, shock, no. This is how it goes with all military occupations. Civilians are killed, soldiers are killed. It’s the name of the game after all, War, so no, not shocked at all.

Isn’t it strange how ethics and getting all Dat $$$ are like water and rabies?

The Americas: Fuckin around and finding out Baby! YEEEEHAAAAAA!!!

It only took like what, 7 hearts and the blood of untold numbers of innocents…bout friggen time

No doubt about that. A hollow or soft point deposits more energy and creates a much larger temporary cavity, but a FMJ can certainly do plenty of damage. The FMJ would be much more likely to be intact, and not fragment, so “clean” is certainly a relative term in this context. Any gunshot wound is gonna be a mess, regardless of caliber or bullet type, some moreso than others.

.30-06 round weighing 180 grains leaves a 24" barrel at about 2,700 feet per second, which gives it a kinetic energy of around 2,900 ft-lbf. With this much energy, that round, if full metal jacketed, will reliably penatrate 20+ inches of ballistic gelatin, a common substitute for animal muscle tissue, and if that round is a hollow point it will reliably penatrate 16+ inches of ballistic gelatin. My neck is about 7 inches thick as an average size person. Unless a person has a cervical spine made of titanium and Kevlar, and/or are just about 4 times as dense as your average Joe, an impact by a typical hollow point .30-06 round with that speed and energy in the human neck region would most often decapitate, or nearly so, and a full metal jacketed round would easily pass clean through. In contrast, the handguns carried by many police officers, the Glock .40 S&W, firing a 180 grain round out of a 4" barrel scoots along at about 1,000 feet per second, having a muzzle energy of about 400 ft-lbf, this being the defacto gold standard for killing human beings. .30-06 is quite literally a round made for war, and is typically used to hunt large game, as it has a tendency to completely and thoroughly rapidly disassemble smaller game into unusable sized chunks.

Nothing is impossible, but not all things are likely.

Many states have already sent the same data. Mine was very proud to announce it. That ship has already sailed.

Some people feel that an internal state conflict that results in more than 1000 deaths per year qualifies as a state of civil war. By that metric, the numbers of people in the USA killed by the police has meant that the USA has been in a state of civil war for many years now.

This is the Way.

Well, I figured out within a day or two that face down ass up was not the optimal showering experience. It’s a steep learning curve, I guess…

I don’t know how it works for most folks, but as soon as my butt is fully immersed water starts shooting out of my ears just like those peeing angel statues, so yes, there’s necessary seepage. That’s why I just take showers.

Shortly after we were married, my wife’s doc told her she would never get pregnant. I had had an unusual dream previous to this statement that had told me otherwise, and shared the details of said vision with my wife, including the gender and general description of what is now our 16 year old son. Every part of that particular dream was spot on, and I just knew it in every fiber of my being.

“A” and yes.

At this point in time the oceans are all warming rapidly, given that in past, as best we understand it, the composition of the atmosphere has rarely changed as much as fast as it has in the past couple hundred years, and the ocean temperatures are doing the same in that they are also changing at a pace rarely seen in the historical record. Some lucky places in the ocean are warming even faster than the overall rapid temperature change; while a pot of water on the stove might only have bubbles just starting to boil into sight only on the bottom, the whole lot is getting hot.

Oh my, did we go and pollute all the world with forever chemicals? Whoopsie! Here’s about 30 seconds of profit, now you run along, and keep drinkin up on that PFAS, now ya hear…
