That’s “most wanted” material? I figured you had to at least kill a few people to qualify for that.

I’ve never know a happy Southern Baptist. I’m not interested in being as miserable as them.

It actually comes from artillery, but it’s the same idea.

I question the accuracy of this statement. Archers existed long before black-powder artillery. At the same time, though, I don’t know if anyone would have been concerned with that measurement, way back when.

EDIT: Wikipedia suggests that the term did, in fact, originate with muzzle-loaded artillery. Good on you for correcting me.

I’m sure that applies for some combination of bow, arrow, and archer. I’ll add it to the list of things 5e has done to irritate me.

I suppose I can see that. Aside from the advice elsewhere in this page to “just sit down,” is there any general advice on how to do that?

Isn’t this post taking about how peaceful protests are going to be used as cover by bad actors to make violent protests?

So, no violent protests. No peaceful protests. What’s left to us?

What’s our alternative? Roll over and let the fascists take over?

The technical term comes from archery. In archery, the arrow rises when fired, so when shooting at very close targets, you actualy aim lower than the point you want to hit. At distant targets, of course, you aim higher, because the arrow will start to fall.

“Point Blank” is the distance at which you aim directly at the target. Last time I did any shooting, it was about 22 feet, with my bow and my arrows.

I’m curious to know what you think “point blank” means.

Yea, that’s part of why I don’t know for sure if they make cars the way the guy at the top of this thread is describing.

Can’t speak to “required.” But I know it used to be done.

I think what he wants is the front turn signal to wrap around the front, so I can see the left signal from the right quarter.

I’m not aware that this is not the case, but I don’t know that I would have noticed if it was not.

almost certainly.

I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

I imagine they remember the far off year of 2021, where the threat of drowning in you own lungs was not considered sufficient reason for a great many people to give a shit.

Expensive burgers may be the lever needed to get people to pay attention.

Such things have to be wire guided, or autonomous. Subs have really good wire deployment systems, so it’s not something out of the question, but water blocks radio signals quite effectively.

I mean, that’s like claiming that he lied repeatedly and vociferously that jumping in the pool will not lead to getting wet. There is no way to believe that lie aside from deep, deep ignorance.

That seems incredibly unlikely.

Once again, I long for precidented times.

Sad thing is we knew before the election that he needled easily. Whoever decided to stop doing that during the campaign needs to be taken for some wall to wall counseling.

Portal 1 was flawless. Portal 2 had a crucial flaw.

Specifically, it was not Portal 1. Everything else was perfect.
