Actually it should be Year/Month/Day if for no other reason than I can’t be bothered to sort by date using an actual date field rather than just increasing / decreasing numbers.

Yeah, that makes more sense. I was wondering why, driving 12 minutes through a populated area, he was the first person on the scene. It seemed like in an area like that someone should have been closer.

The terrible traffic in Indonesia is a complex problem caused by bad infrastructure, bad public transport, non-existent traffic law enforcement (+corruption), bad urban planning, and so on

All of that is “in-work.” Let’s just say it isn’t the highest priority for some folks right now.

This pass women over if they are “bitchy” only works because the studio can make just as much money with a different actress who will work for what is being offered. It isn’t like these negotiations are held in front of a TV camera. When you end up with actors like Robert Downey Jr. in a franchise like Ironman, there…

Is that what this was about? Hunger Games? I hadn’t seen any specifics about which movies were being discussed.

Do you honestly believe the exec’s at Sony are sitting around going “well, she’s only a woman, we should pay her less?” No, they have movies to make, profits to reap, and they will pay her what is required to get the job done. Not a penny more. Being bad at negotiation isn’t discrimination.

Thanks for an actual substantive response. I don’t disagree with your point that 5.56 is different from .223. However, the guy in the test clearly stated he was using 5.56. Whether he knows the difference and is being precise I can only speculate that, considering what he is doing there, he does know what he’s saying.

Steve Jobs 1996: We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas

Me: You’re being pedantic

Sigh. What was the point in correcting the author? You’re just being pedantic. I didn’t say the rifle was an assault rifle, I said the cartridge is used in legit assault rifles, which it is. Anyone who cares about the difference knows the difference.

I would think that what you describe would make the performance even better, but I’ll admit I’ve never tried it.

For the purposes of the article the use is fine because the cartridge meets the definition and is used in actual assault rifles. Therefore the test is representative.

Sure, you’re technicall correct, but the point of this is that he fired a cartridge that is used in assault rifles, not whether the actual platform he used is technically an assault rifle.

When I used to hunt, I went out on opening day once (once) and wished I had body armor. After than I decided it was worth it to wait a week and drive far out into the middle of nowhere.

Oh no doubt. I have heard that if you want to ride one on the highway any significant distance a replacement windscreen is a must. Based on my limited experience with a DL650 I’d agree. What I wonder about is the position of the spoiler on the back when upright. It seems like seated upright you would get separation…

V-Strom is pretty much just upright. I’d definitely want to hear from someone who used this helmet upright before assuming that the aerodynamics work in that position.

I am perfectly willing to stipulate that JORN is a pretty damn impressive accomplishment. I just don’t believe that it can use wake turbulence of a fighter OTH to create a track. When I say it was the same as the Serbs, I didn’t mean to imply it was the same level of technical sophistication. I meant that it used…

Clearly you are taking this very personally. Your ridiculous examples are a your way of trying to shut down the conversation. It’s fine, you really don’t seem to have any useful data to share anyway.

I’m not suggesting that we create new laws and I don’t disagree with your point about the onus for creating new laws, so much so that I don’t know why you brought it up, unless it is your attempt to create a straw man. Forget about the law, I’m interested in the claims being made and where the data comes from. I’m…
