Wadsworth: [shouting] That’s what we’re trying to find out! We’re trying to find out who killed him, and where, and with what!
Professor Plum: There’s no need to shout!
Wadsworth: [shouting louder] I’m not shouting!
[Guests stare at him pointedly]
Wadsworth: [shouting] All right, I am! I’m shouting, I’m shouting, I’m shout…

Parents should be automatic accomplices if a weapon they own is used by their child if there was no forced entry to the gun safe, because they clearly didn’t secure it from the child properly.
My sister used to watch over my mother’s shoulder as she entered the combination to her medication safe (cancer pain meds). Kids are sneaky and you have to be way, way more careful than you expect.
No, you have to be not stupid and realize they are sneaky little fuckers.
It’s not like most gun safes are just sitting out in the kitchen or living room, especially in a household with kids. So kick them out of your bedroom and close the door while you’re retrieving the firearms so they can’t see the combination.
Also biometric safes are pretty common these days, then you can keep the backup physical key in a safe deposit box at the bank or even with a friend.
Tucker would say it proudly. And then he would do his lost puppy dog face while asking, “is it wrong to take money in order to give your audience information or is that what they want you to think?”
I’m not a marksman by any means, but shouldn’t the buttstock be in the pocket of his shoulder? It looks like the recoil from the next shot will send that thing flying backwards
If he were shooting something bigger than 5.56, then you'd want to try to seat it more firmly in your shoulder. An AR-15/M16 generates pretty negligible recoil, so it's fine. I used to compete in across-the-course service rifle when I was much younger (before I grew up enough to realize I hated the culture in that community), and I'd have the butt even higher up in my shooting coat's shoulder if I needed to do so in order to get a good cheek weld. At a glance, his technique looks okay. I've no experience with the front grips like that (my AR-15 had no rails for mounting shit), but the rest of his stance seeeeems okay.
I'm guessing that he was a dipshit in other ways and this bad publicity brought the other badness to light.
You can shoot an AR-15 pattern rifle, including the military versions, with the stock up against your nuts and it won’t hurt. The recoil is very low because the power is very low and the system of operation absorbs a lot of the energy, combined with the weight of the rifle means it is soft shooting. The stock doesn’t need to touch your shoulder for you to be accurate with effect out to 50 yards or more so long as you do your part.
Honestly, just having it pulled against any part of your body with a decent view of the sight is enough to ring steel or put holes in paper.
They were asked to remove people from twitter who violated brazil misinformation laws (something they already do for india, saudi arabia, etc) and in response musk shutdown x offices in Brazil and refused to appoint a legal representative. Brazil then court ordered that X would be blocked since there was no legal way to deal with X.
Musk says its about free speech, when - because its something they already do in other countries - its clearly not about free speech at all.
I may or may not know of a wired LAN that was setup in a ships berthing once for filesharing with some sleek cabling, but that network never touched the internet.
To rig up a ship wide wifi network and play it off like it didn’t exist while deployed, over and over for months? I’m both impressed and honestly a bit pissed the main player only lost a rate or two. The rest getting NJP and likely no reduction in rate is bullshit as well. I’ve seen lower enlisted get just plain turbo fucked for incredibly minor things at NJP, and this is not that.
Its a small ship and all that so things are more lax, but come the fuck on.
Is anyone replying in this thread a US military armorer? I’d love to know who gave him the weapon with the sight installed backwards. I was never allowed to touch an installed optic other than to sight it in. I was never in the US Navy, but in all my training I never got a class on anything but an iron sight for the M16, M4, and M9. How would someone who isn’t a master at arms and probably qualifies on a weapon once, maybe twice a year going to know that someone else installed the sight on his weapon backwards? You don’t even know that it was his issued weapon and not someone else’s who also shot with it backwards.
All valid concerns, but the fact is if you accept the weapon and anything happens, you are at fault.
We’ve had people get issued, and immediately, check and clear their weapon in the presence of an armorer in the bucket, and get in trouble for it misfiring, despite the fact that it should have been checked and cleared prior to change of hands and in addition to the fact that you hadn’t been issued ammo yet. It’s dumb, but people die over this, so they are very strict, even when it sometimes seems unnecessary.
Nothing happened, and nothing could have happened other than him missing a practice target by a mile. It doesn’t even show him aiming at something in particular, just looking down the barrel. Ammo can kill you, not having a working optic is not a safety issue no matter what direction it’s installed. Did he check the chamber to see if there was a round? Did he flag any other sailors? Did he keep his weapon pointed down range? Every single person around him let him shoot the weapon like that, they obviously didn’t feel too unsafe to be around him. None of them even seemed to noticed it was on backwards either. How can you tell it’s backwards from this picture of him?
US Army Aviation and two deployments with the AF. I was never even issued an optic as we only had a handful per company. Can’t touch what Uncle Sugar doesn’t allocate. The only time I touched a weapon that wasn’t a helicopter was during annual qualifications.
Ah, that makes sense then. Combat arms you pretty much have to know as much about your optics as you do your rifle. Can’t wait for an armorer when you’re out in the willywacks and your shit is broken.
Yeah we’re kind of rigged. Here it’s mostly game of voter suppression and gerrymandering the lines.
When it gets closer to our vote you’ll find voting centers in red states closing up near Urban areas. You’ll find police threatening to lock people up for driving poor voters to the faraway precincts their reassigned to. You’ll find voter registration information being lost. And automated systems will magically be down causing hour after hour of wait wherever the poor voters are directed to.
They’ll try to get people engaged in third party candidates when we’re really only a two-party system.
We’re right on the edge of that authoritarian takeover. We’re very heavily waited towards conservative voting in many states. Don’t get me wrong there are a few states that have some blue gerrymandering going on. But nothing like this stuff happening in Texas and the Carolinas
causing hour after hour of weight wherever the poor voters are directed to.
*wait
Also, it doesn’t even end there: my state has even criminalized giving water to those people waiting hours and hours in line, in order to try to dehydrate them into not voting.
