Varying Bullet Caliber Damage

Skeeve says...

This is great. People have such warped ideas of guns from Hollywood mythmaking - though a lot of video games don't help either.

I've seen guys come into the range, fire a 9mm for a bit, then brag about how much better the Desert Eagle is. Then a range officer pulls one out and they realize that it's hard for them to hold it steady, let alone fire accurately. A .50 pistol sounds impressive only until you realize that you only have 7+1 rounds, you can't aim for shit, and the recoil is a bitch. As my favorite range officer put it: "Angelina Jolie [a la Tomb Raider] would have trouble carrying one in each hand, but somehow she is firing two on the run?"

Some movies are getting better, more accurately depicting the proper usage of a gun and actually showing reloads, but even my girlfriend starts laughing at some of the more blatant mistakes in action movies (The Green Hornet has some whoppers).

CNN fails to comprehend basic concepts of journalism

NetRunner says...

>> ^ryanbennitt:

The good thing about that interview was that Glenn got to explain his stance clearly and uninterrupted, he wasn't shouted down like you might expect some "journalist" anchors to do, so the arguments he put forth were heard clearly. So even though Jessica had taken sides, she was a fair anchor and I commend her for that.


I understand that by today's really, really, really low standards, having the anchor refrain from shouting down the person who's arguing against the conventional wisdom seems like a positive, but you need to put it in perspective a bit.

Yellin's job isn't to just make sure people give each other a chance to speak, she's supposed to know something about the topic, and to try and correct (or at least call out) falsehoods if she hears them.

As Glenn said in the article gwiz linked, this interview had two big, universal whoppers that any journalist worth their salt should be calling out. Namely, the lie that Assange released everything indiscriminately, and the accusation that releasing the documents was a crime, even though he hasn't been charged with anything for that.

Furthermore, Frauline Townsend is supposed to be a journalist herself now (she's a CNN employee!), and not just a mouthpiece for the powers that be. Hell, even if she sees her job as that of an embedded propagandist, she would be more effective if she made valid arguments against what Assange did, instead of these fraudulent ad hominem attacks.

Childhood Obesity: Break the Habit PSA

Farmers think they are better than city folk. 1:14

MilkmanDan says...

In other news, Subway tells you to "eat fresh" (on ingredients shipped in from who knows where), Apple tells you to "think different" (as long as you brand of different doesn't include installing apps not approved by Steve Jobs), and Burger King lets you "have it your way" (as long as ~700 calories in a Whopper is OK).

Is New Holland a faceless corporation that will say literally anything that helps it ship more units? Yep. Just like everybody else.

This didn't seem particularly more egregious or arrogant than your average bit of advertising to me. Then again, I'm one of the "farm raised" people that they are targeting.

Science vs. Religion: a playful comparison

Lawdeedaw says...

>> ^Skeeve:
And yet religion has still been responsible for more deaths... fancy that.
>> ^acidSpine:
Men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up



That makes no sense. Let us look at logic instead of being like the God-believers we assume just don’t understand…

Humanity created what? Oh! That's right! Religion... so in other words, religion has not corrupted humanity but rather humanity has corrupted religion, right? That's logical for many reasons, but the best is because we corrupt everything else.

But that means... human beings have killed, not religion. We simply blame religion because it is the faceless problem. However, religion is the excuse, not the problem! As though fabricated beliefs lead to killing.

Religion leads to war... so get rid of religion and no more war huh?
Skimpy clothes lead to rape...so get rid of loose-dressed women and no more rape.
Wealth leads to robberies...so... you get the point.

Only human ambition, greed, narcissism, and our instinctual need to slay one another are to blame for killing. Religion just makes certain people feel superior when doing it. Religion is powerless because we create it, fabricate it. If we got rid of religion, we would find another reason to keep slaying. We are addicted to killing like a smoker who continues to puff his cancer stick, a fat man who eats his double whoppers, a meth addict, a nymphomaniac, and all the other habits that kill us and that we cannot stop. Period.


If you don't believe in a fairy-tale like god, then stop believing there is a better side to humanity if we could "just leave religion in the past."

And to the person who commented on the "men like you..." say it with me, every man like every other man created the bomb. And by your logic, it was God's plan and will that an automic bomb be made... and by that logic, God made the automic bomb through our hands to murder little babies...
