As far as Obama goes, the economy is no better while he added 6 trillion to the debt; he's divisive to the country since now racial tension is higher; he has no regard, or very little for the Constitution, since he essentially said he will do what the Congress (which has been duly elected) failed to do, etc.
So, yeah, Obama is pretty much a failure. Dude can't even wear a tie. Also he puts his feet up on all the furniture. He's an academic with little to no life experience except being schooled by a communist porn-author and being raised a muslim in Indonesia.
Otherwise, at least he aint fat like Chris Crispie.

She's stewed on the limited power of a fast-burning flame-out. Party-line insider spouting business as usual, with a sense of style reminiscent of moth-balls and covered furniture never having been sat upon.

Chopped from TYT with appropriate giggles and snickers sans smarmy tone of their ever-increasing panel of diatribe blowhards.

If you check this guy's YT channel, he's mashed mostly European cinema with jazz from the post-bop, pre-progressive era, some French music-A lot of these films interest me for the simple pleasure of seeing European cars, furniture, clothing, etc., from the 60s-Saturation from American cinema notwithstanding, WAY more style and class in Europe.

@sanderbos, yer joking, right? Last time I checked a table fulla candles were flammable enough to ignite grain alcohol at 2600 °F (candle, burning match) and stunt-doubles were still cost-prohibitive for school chums or wage-slaves to afford.
That was a glass coffee table and that inordinately large ass may have had some cuts after that and those not from any editing suite.

Haven't you ever been in a stripper's apartment? They look just like this....cheap furniture, ghetto apartment, candles and bourbon on the table in the afternoon while practicing douchebag mating-rituals, etc.

The slingshot does "hit harder" i.e. impart more momentum into the target and thus more likely to knock you down.
Intuitively this seems like it would therefore cause the most damage and for several 100 years this was the prevailing logic with muskets and cannonballs.

So much so in fact that when Charles Whitworth first introduced his rifle it was dismissed by the British army partly for having too small of a bullet. Whitworth used a smaller more stable round for its increased range and accuracy/stability (though there were also concerns about "muzzle fouling" and slower reload time).
It was believed at the time that the larger (slower) much less accurate bullets from the Enfield were more effective at actually injuring enemy soldiers, but history later demonstrated that speed and penetration can have just as much (if not more) effect on soft bodies than sheer mass and momentum.

Simply put, that large slingshot round would likely knock you to the floor in the same was as an MMA fighter landing a roundhouse square in your guts would. It might even penetrate the skin a bit and embed itself in you. What it won't do however is travel through your soft tissues at high velocity and create a large "temporary cavity" which is how most firearms do their real damage.

The 9mm etc. don't carry as much overall energy as the slingshot, but they do deliver it to a soft target much more effectively (that is to say lethally). A much more informative test would have been to fire them into ballistic clay, this would have highlighted the differences between speed, momentum and penetration much more clearly. The slingshot would leave a massive dint, the bullets would leave tunnels.

That said, the point they are making does stand to some extent. If you used that slingshot on someone that was trying to shoot you there is a good chance you'd knock them down (or at least stop them taking an aimed shot back for a few seconds). Hell you might even hospitalise them with a good shot!

It's not fair to say that the slingshot is a more "powerful" weapon but I think they did clearly demonstrate that it's a viable alternative under some circumstances. In fact for defending yourself in your own home etc. it might even be better!

Little/no risk of collateral damage (unless you miss really badly)
Very cheap
Would put most people on the floor with one good hit
No firearms licence or background checks needed
More difficult for a child to misuse (Most kids would lack the strength)
Enemy wouldn't expect it
Much less likely to kill
etc. etc.

Hell I'd get one myself if UK law wouldn't fk me over for using it.
It's illegal here to use a weapon specifically intended or kept for defense. i.e. if you grab a random object like a chair and beat up an intruder that's ok, if you have a baseball bat etc. by your bedside for expressly this purpose then it's not.
Handy then that one of my broken computer chairs happens to contain a loose 1ft long iron bar. Naturally I'd never even consider using such a thing violently, but who knows what might come to hand when faced with an intruder

(Seriously though, as broken furniture its a viable means of defence, if I kept it by my bedside as a "weapon" I'd be breaking the letter of the law by using it. Fucking stupid!)

The day someone wants to dismantle some of that furniture, they better have the instructions manual at hand so they can know where all the screws are located...

And I imagine it makes seamless connections FAR easier. I wonder how affordable it is. If they can figure out how to do it cheaply, it would seem to unlock a whole lot of great aesthetics options for furniture.

Dude, get some furniture....and maybe a boyfriend.

I like seeing all this transforming furniture and stuff but I'm with voodoo when will someone make something like this affordable?

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner. Love it or leave it my friend. Personally I find living at the zoo to be entertaining if unnerving and smelly. Still, far be it from me to talk about shit on the furniture when I'm flinging it on the walls.

Just curious though... how is she? I've heard goats will eat anything.

We should probably do something about the elephant in the living room because he is shitting on the furniture.
I'm not judging the elephant, but I am saying that we should start trying to find a more sensible arrangement.

As for talking about the elephant being hypocritical because we've also got a hippo in the bathtub.. well, there's a donkey on the roof, a croc in the kitchen, a pangolin in the vestibule, and there's a goat in my bed. You know what? You're right; maybe we shouldn't mention the elephant.

Anyone else notice the shredded furniture behind the cat?
