‘Solar Opposites’ Renewed for Season 6 at Hulu
  • That's exactly why I like it. Somebody introduced me to it and I was hesitant because Rick & Morty was fully up its own butt at the time. Solar Opposites was fun and not trying so hard to be deep. (There is The Wall, but it's so overly straight serious about the absurd situation that it's like some kind of ultra meta joke about overly serious subplots).

  • Celery and pimento cheese for me. Maybe a sour beer if it's been really rough.

    Some people recommend edibles, but those seemingly have no effect on me.

  • Neat. This show is basically just some cartoon junk food to watch when you're totally flattened by the world. I approve.

  • Cop-flashlights eating bullets by accident.
  • I've got reliable knowledge of handguns, optics, and full magazines all eating incoming bullets. It doesn't seem absurd that a flashlight on a belt or vest pouch to eat a bullet especially considering the random hodgepodge of low powered rounds (.22lr, .25, .32, .380 as examples) that seem popular in crime. I'd totally put rifles or even 9mm out of mind, as various low power pistol rounds (somewhere in the ballpark of 200j of energy) would be more likely to be stopped, and that's what I'd test if doing backyard science. I don't have a specific instance of a flashlight stopping a round on hand, but it's a metal object claimed to be blocking a potentially low energy incoming round, seems plausible.

This game was at Boards and Swords in Derby. Astra Militarum 2,000 Points List I went simple here:  no Tank Commanders,...

    Chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court decides
  • Decaf coffee

    It actually has 300000mg of caffeine

    "It's well known that coffee has caffeine in it. Skill issue."

  • It’s kinda insane how warfare was just lining up and shooting at each other until someone came along and said “Nah”
  • Being alongside people who are conducting an IR strobe disco party because they still mistakenly believe they have a monopoly on night optics is a terrifying experience. I'm told.

  • Hiram Maxim with his invention, the Maxim gun, an early and influential machine gun, 1884
  • Gatling. He wanted to increase firepower per person, which would reduce the number of soldiers in a conflict.

    Maxim:

    "In 1882 I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States. He said: 'Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats with greater facility.'"

  • French soldiers with a Chauchat Light Machine Gun, Western Front, WW1, 1918
  • The American Model 1915 was a pretty good quick redesign I think.

    Trade the magazine window for a witness hole, go from a moon mag to more conventional box mag, move the vertical grip forward.

  • French soldiers with a Chauchat Light Machine Gun, Western Front, WW1, 1918
  • One is meant to just hold down the trigger until it's empty. The Chauchet was one of the first of what we would know as a light machinegun. Mobility in order to support advances was the designated role.

    In a world of bolt action rifles, the ability to lay down controlled bursts was a big firepower multiplier.

    The 20 round magazine would be acceptable for the period. Same capacity as what the M1918A2 BAR was issued with in WW2 and Korea, and only slightly less than the many light machineguns with 30 round magazines that were used for decades after (and in some cases into the current day.)

  • Kingdom Hearts in shambles.

  • Sovcit got thrown out of court.
  • The most entertaining result is them stubbornly refusing to admit that they are "Name" and the judge issuing a warrant for failing to appear because the named defendant didn't show up to court.

    Usually at that point they crack, but I've seen one zoom court where the judge just ends the hearing with the warrant issued.

  • Sovcit got thrown out of court.
  • You seem unfamiliar with this circus.

    This person was being the authorized representative of themselves. Sovcits, for a variety of reasonings, often refuse to admit that they are the legal person who is being charged. They often make a convoluted distinction between the actual person and the legal person, so they show up as the actual person to "settle the matters" of the legal person.

    You can't be an authorized representative of somebody else for a crime/infraction unless you are a lawyer anywhere I know of in the U.S. A person representing is either a lawyer or self-represented. You can't just pick some rando as your champion to show up in your place. Judges have smacked Sovcits legally in various ways for this stunt.
