That's an unusual looking dog, almost like a fully white version with no spots of an English Pointer (who always have spots).

A pointer for a pointer! Very meta.

I'm not an expert, but I've shot a lot of rifles and have some gun-nut friends. Basically, NO, that isn't a normal posture. However, it seems quite effective for her.

She is basically using the shelf of her pelvis as the "ground" point of her elbow, almost like the function of a tripod if you were going to shoot while prone. That isn't normal, but then her hand position on that arm is even weirder -- she is propping up the rifle with what looks like middle and ring fingers making a "v" shape, then pointer just in front of the trigger guard, and thumb on the trigger guard / lever. Very very weird -- in general most people would put that hand further out along the barrel and just grasp the wood there. That would normally be more effective because the wider the distance between the contact points with your hands, the more steady and fine your aim can be. BUT, she obviously knows what she is doing and is using the stability provided by resting her arm on her pelvis to overcome that. She's a way better shot than me, so I wouldn't classify any of what I've said as "criticism", just noting that she does certainly have an unusual style.

By sound and size, the rifle is probably a .22. A .22 that size can be quite light, which would work well with her style of holding the weapon. I'd imagine that trying that with a bigger rifle, especially with a longer barrel, would be uncomfortably heavy on the fingers she is using to prop up the weapon. Plus, higher calibers would kick enough to necessitate actually grasping the forestock instead of just resting it on fingertips.

Even when I was warned against kick and barrel-rise when shooting an AR-15 (basically an M-16), the first time surprised me how much the weapon will jolt upward on rapidly fired shots unless you are ready to compensate for it...

"Studies have found that even low-power laser beams of not more than 5 mW can cause permanent retinal damage if gazed at for several seconds; however, the eye's blink reflex makes this highly unlikely." wikipedia

Red laser pointers normally output 5mW or less.

To further illustrate the complexity involved in compression, think about the following:
If I replace "The computerphile channel handles computer topics" with "The computerphile channel handles <30,8> topics", how does the decoder tell the difference between the 2 byte <30,8> pointer and the data it represents?

No trauma, don't hate them, don't love them. Would be perfectly happy without them. But I'll let them stay...For now. Except for the scary big ones in western Australia. Those bastards need to go. Someone put a giant laser pointer in space and make them all run into the ocean/off a cliff. Thanks.

Yeah-Right now I'm projecting a thousand laser pointers directly into your retinas with the hope that when your sockets are free of those squishy fluid bags in the land of the blind, the no-eyed man man behind the dark sockets remains perfectly satisfied in the darkness of his own kingdom.

Believe me Sigmond, projection is as far afield of my issues with this particular round of banter as that dashing ape of yours is from knowing shit about that .45-

I suck at this game, I actually got a few pointers from watching this.

See though, how a bot (pun intended) of well-placed and otherwise distinctly-directed chum calls to the mat a reasonably informative discussion of the varied dynamics of mental divergence, yeah verily, even a professional chimes-in to offer the low-down?!

I still believe that the embed was intended to coax the finger-pointers out for a troll and I'm still pissed at someone's particular lack of civility and courtesy after an ass-rape, without a customary reach-around there, KUbrikboy 😈

How bout a chat sometime? I'm cheaper than therapy and love to entertain!

I was pretty sure that files in the recycle bin do not have their pointers removed yet and that they are really just "moved" into a folder with special rules. I thought the pointer got removed when they were really deleted.

BTW, your link has a typo in it. Also, I can plug DBAN which does the same sort of thing, but for the entire hard disk.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'll save you some time if you have no idea what the answer is: Deleted files don't go anywhere. Basically, the pointer to the file on the hard drive is just marked as deleted, but the data stays where it was before deletion.

This is why (on Windows) you can easily undelete from the recycle bin.

Your deleted files can be recoverable for a very long time because the data will sit there until some other data is saved in the same location. And even in that case, most of the original data might still go untouched for a long time.

This is how forensic computer geeks are able to recover all the dirty secrets you thought were really deleted.

To really delete something, the entire file's saved data needs to be overwritten. There's a lot of great software like Eraser that you can use to do this easily.

A bit crowded! It needs sharks with laser pointers.

SPOILERS!

I feel like I've seen the whole movie now. Thanks for ruining the flight scene. I would have never guessed the Pointer Sisters to be infectious enough to bring an airliner down.

I know what he thinks he means.

He's conflating "always say what you mean" and "say everything you're thinking," which are two different things. He doesn't stand up for himself or publicly own his beliefs because he's desperate for acceptance and thinks the best way to get it is to pet everyone else. That's different from self-preservation, like not telling your boss off, or not gushing all over your date. The feeling this is based on comes from things he *regrets* not saying in the past because it makes him feel weak now. He will never regret not telling off his boss nor will he ever regret staying cool on a date, so that's not what he's talking about. Those are excuses his scared minds makes up to prevent him from saying what he means when he chooses to speak.

There's a lot of room between talking straight and being a "finger-pointer" or a "self-righteous twerp".
