    Something tells me this guy didn’t pay the tax stamp and give the government his exact address and fingerprints when he acquired that suppressor.

    Especially because from the video it doesn’t look like he’s ever shot that suppressed pistol before, or he’d have fixed it to actually cycle the gun properly. Having your gun jam on every shot is not exactly ideal when you’re planning something like this, and it sure sounds like he planned everything else decently well.

    Likely the suppressor was homemade and probably not test fired due to the risk of getting caught. That means this guy likely lives in an urban or suburban area where people are likely to report the sound of muffled gunshots. That only leaves most of the country as suspects.

    Amazing how something in the news happens and people suddenly have never seen extremely common fashion choices before.

    I have pretty much this exact coat, except it’s in blue, not tan. The hood is made out of cotton instead of the heavier denim/canvas the coat is made from.

    I’ve owned several coats exactly like it over the years, I think all of mine were made by Levi, but I’m sure plenty of other manufacturers make similar styled jackets as the contrasting fabrics look nice and a thinner hood is more flattering.

    Look at his collar in the photos, there’s no shadow or layer where the hood would go under the jacket like it would were he wearing a hoodie under a jacket.

    Well that’s the thing, conventional explosions convert chemical bonds into energy. Chemical bonds are fairly weak in the grand scheme of things.

    Nuclear weapons convert nuclear bonds into energy. Atoms really like staying the atoms they currently are, so forcing them to convert all at once releases a ton of energy.

    Nukes are crazy.

    The mushroom cloud is actually caused by all the dust and debris that gets sucked up into the actual explosion.

    Nuclear reactions happen at near light speed, and the heat from them does propagate at light speed.

    The blindness thing is really only for a split second while the fission/fusion is actually happening. By the time the mushroom cloud has formed, the actual explosion was like 30 seconds ago.

    If you see a full mushroom cloud, that means the glass in front of you is probably going to rapidly accelerate into your skull when the shockwave hits you.

    I have it enabled but it has never once turned on, I know how it’s supposed to work, but no combination of charging and flipping my phone around has ever worked. 90% of the time, it just wakes up the whole display due to the raise to wake feature.

    Why can’t it just be like android’s Always on Display, where it’s just on unless something is blocking the front camera. Why does Apple have to always be the weird kid in the class.




  • I think everyone should learn how to sharpen a kitchen knife at least.

    Dull knives are dangerous, and it really only takes an afternoon to get decent at sharpening a knife.

    Unfortunately there’s a lot of lore about knife sharpening, like how you need really fine grit stones, or a whetstone being the best, when in reality you can get a shaving sharp edge from a 20 dollar diamond stone from a hardware store. Sure, a 4000 grit stone will get you a mirror finish and a more refined edge that will last slightly longer, but even an 80 grit stone when used properly, will get you a good edge that will last for months without any other sharpening.

    It’s a single bevel.

    Sharpen the angled side at the proper angle, and remove the burr by flattening the smooth side of the blade on a decent diamond stone.

    I have my great grandfathers barber’s shears, and that’s how they’ve been sharpened for going on 100 years now. You need a stone wide enough for the whole blade, so that its uniformly flat, but other than that it’s pretty logical how they need to be sharpened.
