  1. I mean, I don't disagree with the sentiment, but maybe you should go back and read the comment he was responding to a little more closely.
  2. Yep, Filoni can craft great stories. Clone Wars and Rebels have poor animation and worse dialog, but are almost universally loved by the folks who spend the time to watch them because the stories they weave are done so well.
  3. I think we've established in a previous thread that bollards are effective at preventing things from being run over. Do we really want that?
  4. It was just always called a bar.
  5. The US actually tried to send minesweepers to Russia as part of the lend lease program in WWII, but Stalin refused them because that's what troops are for.
  6. I haven't seen it mentioned, but Northrop Grumman says the B-2 has a capacity of >40,000lbs. Apparently six of them dropped 12 30,000lb bombs. I guess the >40,000lbs is accurate, but now our adversaries are probably wondering about the true capabilities of all our other assets.
  7. There's nothing unreasonable about this at all.
  8. The fuck you saying about me?
  9. That happened to me the first time I tried to start it. It is a bit of an adjustment, but it does get better, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people recommending it.
  10. My only nitpick is not getting to see The Ghost landing as Cassian was walking off the landing pad in Yavin.
  11. Putin doesn't care about what's good for Russia. Putin cares about what's good for Putin.
  12. With all this drone stuff, I would think it wise to develope something like the SR-71 but for bombs. And stealthier, and with enough range to get halfway around the world. Keep them in the continental United States out in the desert where they are isolated. Then again, that would require something massive just to have the fuel, and it wouldn't do anything an ICBM wouldn't.

  13. Rebels and several arcs of Clone Wars for sure. Those last few episodes of Clone Wars in particular. Of course you have to have been invested in the characters already for the full impact.
  14. Paying an 8 year old with drugs and candy really isn't the precedent we want to set here.
  15. Is this the new she shouldn't have been dressed all slutty argument?
  16. Wasn't there a deal or something that came about a couple days ago where the US and Germany or someone had agreed that Ukraine could strike military targets deep into Russia with the hardware we've given them? If we were given notification of this, I can't help but think that the timing announcement was coordinated with said knowledge.
  17. The most impressive thing about that quote is that he used the word few instead of less.
  18. Could be running on grain alcohol, but I didn't see any evidence of any proper agriculture.
  19. All the speculation about where in Texas it is is pointless. It's Everytown, Texas. They throw enough in there that everybody thinks it is their hometown.
  20. Who eats a taco like that? Psychopaths, that's who.
  21. Basically the bill zeros out the transfer and making taxes for suppressors as well as removing them from the definition of a firearm under the NFA, which is part of the tax code. The GCA of 1968 still lists suppressors and suppressor parts in its definition of firearms, which is in a different section of the Code of Federal Regulations. So suppressors and suppressor parts would still require a 4473. But since this is a reconciliation bill, Senators can challenge provisions that they don't think are related to the revenue under the Byrd Rule. If the Senate Parliamentarian determines they don't qualify, it takes 60 votes to overrule. Lowering the tax to zero should qualify, but removing them from the definition of a firearm in the NFA may not survive. It does have a chance, however, since the NFA registry is the mechanism for collecting the tax, and the methods by which taxes are collected can be modified within running afoul of the Byrd Rule.
  22. Here's a cow turd shot from about ten feet away with a 50 BMG. 20250318_185700_1_2_2.mp4
  23. We did that once, except with a 100 pound pumpkin shot with a 50 BMG at about 25 yards.
