  • The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.

  • I'm sure that applies for some combination of bow, arrow, and archer. I'll add it to the list of things 5e has done to irritate me.

  • The technical term comes from archery. In archery, the arrow rises when fired, so when shooting at very close targets, you actualy aim lower than the point you want to hit. At distant targets, of course, you aim higher, because the arrow will start to fall.

    "Point Blank" is the distance at which you aim directly at the target. Last time I did any shooting, it was about 22 feet, with my bow and my arrows.

  • I'm curious to know what you think "point blank" means.

    Parents should have their children's consent before letting a new adult move into the house.

  • Also violating their consent.

    Every time I make them put their shoes on. Make them do their homework. Eat their vegetables. Be home at a certain time.

    Parenting is all about violating consent. Children get input, not veto rights.

  • The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

    This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

    The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

  • kind of my point. Trains need accurately measured time in order to run properly.

  • Your last point is wrong, at least as you have stated it. Evaporation time is based on surface area, and the required power is based on volume, but you expressed the amount of water as a length.

    Still, metric is way better.

  • The leftist version of such people wouldn't be a propagandist, but a whip. Someone to help herd the cats, as it were. Someone to help keep the important things in mind in the midst of the "flood the zone" technique that disperses our efforts.

  • Interesting. That's a good origin, and makes sense. They should have explained that a bit in the article, though.

    Thanks for the extra info.

  • Sad thing is we knew before the election that he needled easily. Whoever decided to stop doing that during the campaign needs to be taken for some wall to wall counseling.

  • Why is the word "trade" in the headline?

    new term, “TACO trade,” an acronym

    And what is it doing here?

  • So, a moment of curiosity.

    If my theoretical pistol did get pulled into am MRI machine, stuck against it by the magnet, and I, for the purpose of scientific inquiry, pulled the trigger, should I expect the bullet to fire more or less as normal, to fire, but the bullet be pulled back to the machine, or for the bullet to not move, or not move more than an inch or so from the barrel?

  • Italy was a constitutional monarchy under fascist rule.

    And the US is, theoretically, a democracy, and if we aren't under fascist rule, we will be soon enough. Fascism can spring from any form of government.

    your second paragraph is something only ignorant bootlickers say

    So you feel that Obama-Trump-Biden-Trump was as stable as any government needs too be? No improvement to be made there?
