    I remember listening to a distant gun battle when I was a kid and thinking it sounded exactly like that, actually!

    I don't think one can describe second generation or third generation Englishers of being capable of deportation to anyone other than England. Although now I think of it, I suppose we could legally just send them to the Orkneys. They can try causing trouble up there.

    But if the aiming software is so accurate why does it NEED two guns pointing in the same direction? Other vehicle electronics could just as easily be put into another vehicle. What you've got is a wider, hungrier, slower version of an IFV. ...That looks badass. BMP-3 has a rapid cannon, missiles, AND a heavy mortar/gun/launcher thingy. I still say it's just a way to try and eke out usefulness from an obsolescent MBT among nations now more scared of their own people than anyone external.

    And I can't hear him over the sound of the estimate of Cromwell killing 80% of the Irish coming from a book written in 1868. You can judge the academic quality for yourselves. http://books.google.com/books?id=Yh8HAAAAQAAJ&pg=177 Or you could, you know, just ignore the whole question.

    I'm particularly glad that this has surprised some of you chaps as well.

    And I view posts like this as what would have happened if I'd studied philosophy or literature rather than something useful.
  7. Walsingham
    Well, it certainly used to. Now I think they just don't know what they'd do with them all if they arrested them.

    How is it any better than a BMP-3?

    So essentially, the key is the rapidity of the reaction, and the ease of initiation? That is interesting... So if you could somehow improve the ... I'm going to stop before I work out a way to make explosives out of anything.

    "Boy, 12, sought for sex attacks" ...Sounds to me like the most horrifying want ad, ever. Rather than a BBC headline. I also misread "McCartney plays surprise London pig"

    Actually, this one's not too bad. The shoulders seem quite natural. For godzilla a guy in a Godzilla suit.

    What are you willing to do in exchange for me making a rude noise then kicking a squirrel?
  13. Walsingham
    Maybe because so many of our homegrown jifs are peddling about other countries shooting or blowing Muslims up.

    I knew I'd seen her somewhere before.

    The guy quoted the energy as being roughly 1.7kj. To which I scoffed. I simply refuse to believe that the energy consumed to throw a bullet hundreds of metres is that small. If so I've probably eaten more energy than was fired off in WW2!

    Models aren't usually my thing, but I think we can agree to make an exception here.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24582781 Thought it was worth highlighting since some of you chaps keep demanding Muslims speak out. I wonder how many of you would speak out publicly if you knew you'd spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder. I wonder if I would.

    *shrugs* I did, a while back, from a PM. But you judge by what you've seen with the obsessing over racial purity, and Russian ultra-nationalism. It's a pretty shallow role to play, and not terribly well done, since the grammar and spelling mistakes are not even superficially consistent. Plus the bloody grammar yo-yos all the time between mono-syllabic and multi-syllabic. It's the complete 100% unnecessary quality of the offensiveness that irks me, quite honestly. There are many good arguments for engaging with real people with offensive views - that I've got tired of. But I can't see earthly use in this bollocks, since it's impossible to engage with someone who isn't real. Forget I brought it up.

    When onions browned, added sardines, grated carrot, sliced apple, chillis, fennel seeds. Weird, I know. But I was in the mood.

    Of course he couldn't have actually said that, because we have a zero tolerance policy.
  22. Walsingham
    But is he intentionally being racist? That's the salient question the answer is "14/88"

    My dinner plans changed, so I'm aving tinned sradines over rice. Of course this simple meal may be augmented by fried onions, garlic etc.

    Hey, Woldan! Your special skills required. I believe I've already lost this bet, because I was talking arse generally. But I'd still like the correct answer. This fellah was sounding off about the energy in a can of drink. For the sake of argument, say 300kj. His comment was "That's more than it takes to fire a gun" My immediate response was to say that he was talking balls. I'd like to know how much energy is actually in the propellant for a 7.62x39 FMJ, and (for the sake of interest) in a .50 cal desert eagle round. I am assuming that this is NOT the same as the muzzle energy. Although I would not be surprised if it was.
