Lol whut? Are we still talking about the same scenario? The girl at the party tells an aggressive guy to fuck off, then... Her friends shun her, he threatens to kill her and she somehow becomes more likely to be raped in the future? Where do you live, Peshawar?

The not fighting back was more in reference to the device, and how it seems to be presented as an alternative to a weapon rather than a supplement.

Isn’t that nice, a device that can prevent a rape without the risk of causing an awkward scene.

Yeah, I’d just rather increase people’s ability to fight back.

Never seen this before, but I like it! The weird c-pillar this is my one deal-breaker for the US 1-series.

Oh. Whoops.

The alarm that sounds like a car alarm is going to scare off an attacker? Sounds to me like he’s just going to rip it off, throw it down the street, and enjoy the cover noise.

The two series doesn't compete with the CLA and A3? I assumed they were all pretty matched up.

How on earth would this prevent sexual assault? Another feel-good crowdfunding project launched by people who haven’t thought about the problem they're trying to solve for more than 30 seconds.

“Additionally, it seems like the choice of both the Democrats and the Republicans has been to use traditional military capabilities against non-traditional foes... cutting these capabilities drastically would result in a net loss of critical combat power currently being used in the field against ISIS and other groups.”

Can you just not? None of the revolver features you listed are advantages over automatics. Fixed barrel? Really?

Tradition is the only reason. There is no advantage to a revolver over a modern semi-auto, which is the reason the GIGN is the only elite unit to carry them.

Thing is, none of the ME countries actually give a shit. Containment airstrikes are working well enough for them.

Could you write a post sometime outlining the difficulty levels of common maintenance procedures? Like which ones you should definitely do yourself because they’re more time-consuming than skill-requiring? I know it can be tough to generalize across brands, but i’d be interested to know where a valve adjust sits vs. a…

“Weighed the size of a toddler...”

Momentum is a powerful thing. By the time the text is made public, enough horse-trading will have happened that its passage is a foregone conclusion.

You mean wait until it’s passed? Good plan.

I think people are calling it a high-side is because it has all the symptoms, despite not fitting the typical setup.

All I got from this was ‘Alabama’ and ‘roadkill’.

Hot. I’m sure the factory five cars are brilliant to drive, but the modern ones look like they were styled by a class of 8th-graders taking turns on a cracked copy of solidworks.
