No no, just info -- "region blocked". Lets Canadians know they can't watch


In reply to this comment by jonny:
dang. So, how does that work? I wasn't around when the 'blocked' invocation was implemented. Does it change the status of a post at all? Or is it just informational like the 'Long' and 'NSFW' tags?

I agree, it's everywhere. I'm good with words so I'm also good at sarcasm but as of a couple of years ago I decided to cut it out almost entirely. Snidely saying the opposite of what one means is a pretty poor means of communication -- even if it's perfectly suited to North American culture, irony-laden and too cool to care about anything.

In reply to this comment by jwray:
I think sarcasm is overrated. People have come to expect sarcasm so much that they get lots of false positives, making it hard to have any kind of honest communication between people who disagree.

Thanks big guy!

Ohh, there's a whole lot of SOPs to go through on that one. If you really want to know, I can point you to the technical manual (it's not hard to understand) and it will tell you exactly what needs to be done. (do a search for misfire in the pdf document)

but basically it depends on how hot the tube is. It will get hot from constant firing, and isn't really much of a problem to worry about unless you're in some deep shit and have been firing non-stop. The thermal indicator is green, yellow and red for cold, warm and hot. I've never seen it past low warm.

So basically what happens after you pull the string and nothing happens is that you pull it three more times. If still nothing happens, you try another primer. If still nothing happens, it's the firing mechanism or the firing pin. those need to be replaced. If they do need to be replaced, you just take the powder out of the tube (considering a cold tube) and replace it and fire away.

What do you do with an arty misfire anyway -- wait 60 seconds and then open the breech and slide the shell back out?

Ha! "Hangfire" - I haven't heard that in a while.

Howdy Calvados, I just noticed your 'energy and environment' playlist -- very informative and useful -- thanks and keep it up. I'm studying geophysics and planetary science in grad school and I plan on moving into alt energy for my postdoc. Oh, and your login steered me to my liquor cabinet but the closest thing I have is armagnac, gonna have to go to the market tomorrow.
