1. I agree this is a fun toy.

If you have to extract a bullet on your own, get comfortable, you're going to die. More than one person has had surgeons look at an x-ray and decide that the bullet could stay right where it was. And they are professionals that are not losing blood.

Ok, so let's look at this another way.

Actually, it's not just a matter of energy, but how it is applied. A FMJ doing the same velocity as a Hollowpoint with the same projectile weight will not do the same amount of damage. The Hollowpoint's greater ability to transfer energy will result in a worse wound on average.

If they could do that, then battle field drones would not be the big thing going right now.

A lot of people never think of this, but for a temporary compress or to plug a wound, Tampons and Maxi-pads do an excellent job. They're sterile and they hold a lot of blood. They also tend to be more available to the average person than quickclot or a trauma bandage.

If we're going to get picky about what should and shouldn't be on the list, I can remember 5 different versions of windows 95.

The Woz is desperately irrelevant...

I have to think that most of the cost was due to the delay in building the memorial.

You've got them running in the wrong direction.

Saved my life?

It occurs to me that John Ringo may have been correct in assuming that a Von Neumann device would likely be a large system. Trying to build microscopic devices that self replicated would be difficult at best, but if you had a couple devices the size of Shipping containers that were self mobile and had arms, then they…

The problem is, though you can theoretically remove a helmet under water and replace it, and then purge the helmet again...

Well, you just mainly suffer, unless it's near your nose block, then you can push out hte bar and scratch it with that.

Where is Natalie Wood when we need her?

At a guess, it does this before the failure.

Yes, we know this administration does not lie well...

Ok, so if Obama was on the roof, why did they not just snipe him?

Personally, I prefer a method I call overkill...

SALUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
