Yes, it’s moving them from ‘I have to keep doing this forever or I have failed’ to ‘Wow I really enjoyed myself doing that!’ so the goal can be completed successfully.

43·30日前I’m pretty sure he means that there’s no point in trying to please you because you’ll always set a goalpost that can’t be reached, so there’s no point in really considering your opinion.
2·30日前The motivation from their side is not wanting to support Linux. There’s a difference between working and supported; support costs them money in terms of every phone call from every person for whom the material doesn’t work correctly, as that means paid trained staff on hand all the time whether you’re having linux issues right now or not. Imagine if one person a year had linux issues, requiring them to hire a full time linux tech with nothing to do but pick up the phone once a year. By putting a roadblock in front that people can get around, it can ‘work’ on that system while they have a leg to stand on to say no to any linux user who wants help they can’t provide.

This is Musk we’re talking about here, don’t propagate his feckless lies. There is no XPrize and no money will be given out.
3·2か月前Radar works like this; imagine you’re playing hide and seek in the woods after dark. You have a flashlight and you think it’s a good idea to shine it around looking for your buddies, and if you see them with the flashlight that’s the radar dot. Making the dot big is like having all your buddies who are supposed to be hiding also having REALLY BIG flashlights, so bright that you can’t see what you’re looking at very well.
In warfare the hide and seek game also includes a gun, and even a really bright light still more or less tells you exactly where it’s coming from allowing you to shoot at the light until it goes out. Not great for the survivability of the hiders!
The smart hider might set up their jamming light somewhere else so the seeker shoots at nothing, however the lights are still very expensive and they make cheap rockets designed to home in directly on radar and blow it up. The least expensive way overall for the hider to avoid the seeker is for the hider to wear all black clothing and be small.

1·3か月前Get this if you put enough matter in one spot the mass of the matter acts as the piston compressing the material until it begins fusing enough to resist the inward pressure. This lasts as long as there are enough fuse-able materials in the mix, be aware they can get a little unstable when fuel gets low.
81·3か月前The problem with conspiracy theories is that they’re trying to assign a single point of blame to a complete systemic failure. The feeling is that if we can simply find out who is doing this and boil it down to one person or one group we can then simply attack that group and solve all our problems. That’s exactly the ox that fascism has yolked on its ride to power in every single generation.
1·4か月前AR-10s have different competing standards
yes, I was saying that an ar-10 fit the poster’s description of an AK better than actual AK rifles, for that reason.
But if you ever need to replace a part?
That’s the best part! I won’t! I owned one for years, I could dig post holes with the damn thing. I sincerely regret selling it.
They most definitely are not
Shipping makes those numbers very fudgy, I see one offer for 7.62 that beats many of the 5.56 offers just by giving free shipping. I’m willing to meet you at ‘they’re close’ but in no way is 5.56 vastly less expensive. Not like 9mm less expensive!
If you mean the majority of people that buy a rifle and then never use it, sure. If you’re talking about people that actually go out and shoot, you’re definitely wrong.
Right, so like I said the vast majority of gun owners. Super Gun Nerds will always have a sincere appreciation for use cases that the vast majority of gun owners will not encounter at any point. Home defense happens under 25 yards. Soft points and a wooded area would give you a hunting experience that grandpa’s 30-30 would feel quite comfortable in. They tend to be reliable and even decently accurate until the barrel heats up. They’re not the same gun, but it’s not a bad gun, and the benefits you’re touting are completely overblown. Either one is better than none at all. It’s easy to make up an edge case to prove your point, I could probably find an edge case in which AK was fully superior but that’s not the point I’m trying to make, the point is for the majority of gun owners would not see a significant difference, and for the edge case users you’ll find another edge case waiting to tear your argument down.
This is such a weird take. AKs also ‘just work’, most people will never have to hand-fit anything on an AK, and ammo prices for AK are at parity with ammo prices for AR. The cheapest end of anything can be dangerous to the user, so again that’s another non-point. The majority of people aren’t going to see a major functional difference between the two, it comes down to personal preference.
The gun you’re actually describing is the AR-10
Gotta warm them up to using them against American citizens. Can’t just jump straight into that.
