Need NSFW tags, I guess.

Yep, Djimon Hounsou.

Since I've been working I've never really taken more than a week off, but in school I used to enjoy summers free. Though I suppose that was wasted time at least the 4 months off after each term in University. Do have next week off work, though I've not much planned other than tackling my GOG backlist and some programming of any sort.

Ballistic resistant books with trauma Kindle plates ?

Talking about old PC hardware with a coworker buddy, I miss the Turbo button and the clock speed display on towers. Though why it worked backwards on my 386EX I'll never now, though I suppose it does make sense, reading back on it . Good times back then. Also, summer sucks.

Did he burst into tears ?

Strike Suit Zero it's ok for Ace Combat in Space, I suppose. Not sure what's with the wannabe Homeworld and Freespace 2 music, but it's not bad Hah, ok, "The soundtrack is developed by Paul Ruskay, composer of the original Homeworld soundtrack." Well that flows, then.

That'd be a flechette at that diameter, no ? Scary thing those. Still I think the person that saw an WW1 pistol in a shop here in Canada and ran out screaming takes the cake.

Wow that's pretty vile.

It's a bit bull**** that you even have to do this though - in the example just submit when they assault you for no reason - as how the hell do you know they're not a cop or are just gone insane and trying to defend yourself is fairly natural. Again, a problem with approach, where too many watched NYPD Blue or something. Funnier still is the cops just say 'Sorry' and shrug it off when really they should be publicly dismissed and shamed for deciding a violent takedown when they have bad ID was a good idea. But you are right though, when some meshback cop decides to take you down, you'd might as well submit. See the G20 in Toronto for cops doing shady things. Ignore 'rioters' wrecking Yonge street, rough up people sitting down when clearing Queen's Park, run their detention center like something out of WW2 Japan or even silly **** like rustling people walking a block from the secure zone. That and the convenient loss of records, saying that the victim of an assault is unreliable as he couldn't tell who was beating him, etc. etc.

That is pretty cool, they should make their goal. Always liked the story of Sierra.

I still don't get hate PMs. I guess I need to be more snide.

Hm, a hive mind here, I don't know. Generally it's wishy-washy "I like their games but they do have silly stuff" for the most part. Maybe I am not looking closely. Or have a higher threshold for hatred

And the Syrian army can't crush these fools ?

If I recall he was physically tackled, not everyone is as compliant as you when that happens I guess. It is somewhat understandable to be a tad annoyed at being roughed up by people too dumb to actually ID you. Did remind me of this funny case http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/01/21/bc-vpd-alleged-assault-yao-wei-wu.html

This place isn't all that suitable for it, really. Too nice.

Resisting arrest, maybe ? They jumped a guy thinking he was some other guy, he understandably took exception and struggled a bit and slapped him with that. I assume a judge chucked that out though.

Probably only difference is the number of bullets they'd put in you But that is a good point, I imagine corruption or quality would vary between PDs.

Testbed for the Space gun that Bull fellow was working on before he got himself killed by Mossad/CIA/KGB/Iraqis/MI6. 16 inch US Navy gun modified. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_HARP

Not my photo, but still pretty cool. HARP gun in Barbados

They were risking what exactly in this situation, though ? The guy doesn't want them in his house, and there's no war or gun battle raging that makes his house critical to lives. Public servants for you, I guess.

A dustbin maybe for all the effect they have, really. Here, they've lost 8-12 days pay for various things like drinking on the job, intimidating people with their badge, sexually harassing coworkers, citizens. Which really seems like a limp slap on the wrist. Then again this is the RCMP...

Oh, I don't work FOR a bank I work with them. Supply them with software that helps them rule the world, etc. etc. They treat their staff like crap, I can't imagine having to put up with people screeching at you constantly without being able to punch/stab/poison them.

Playing Deponia is still tricky for me as I'm not really a fan of the protagonist, but must soldier on. Been fiddling with Arma 2 trying to make an interesting mission for myself. Is quite tricky to make civilians behave as desired under fire - i.e. get to the chopper - or choppers behave as desired as well. Though in both cases running/flying in direct gunfire is ill advised. AI sure is mean though, watching a firefight and a T-72 decided that the main gun would be useful to take out three riflemen

Nice boring Friday, though I find it funny the coffee date (appointment ?) I have is on the hottest day this week. Also this smog is still here, looks pretty horrible from up here - and the weather guys said this would blow out on Tuesday *snort* Is funny to see how our customers work, lucky things banks have money to burn with departments warring with each other or clueless people just collecting 6 figures.
