Not a problem at all. We don't know the exact ballistics for the cartridge used to make this shot so pulling numbers from a ballistic chart for the common military spec ball cartridge is a good starting point.
The article you quoted in the same post explains factory loaded, COMMON, off the...
Reading the headlines for this story I was immediately suspicious because at the purported distance the bullet drop would be huge. Looking at various ballistic charts for common .50 BMG loads the typical bullet drop at 2500 yards is around 450 feet. 2 miles is 3520 yards so at that distance the...
You're technical knowledge of this subject exceeds mine so I gladly defer and thank you for the breakdown.
However many or even most airports that are notorious for hot and high conditions are in South America AND have shorter runways. By and large it was airlines flying into and out of these...
I disagree I fit that label, at least if my assumption in how you define that is correct. But that's ok. If I had to provide the label it might be a Fiscal Accountability. Again I have no problems with increased taxes, but not so much when I have zero confidence in their ROI.
All tax funds...
Sure but you must then tell me what you think I'm defined as.
I believe government spending should be reduced because politicians of both parties appear incapable of directing tax revenue in a completely unbiased and unselfish manner devoid of lobbyist pressure and pork that inevitably results...
I didn't enjoy Vegas at all, I'd rather play poker with friends than gamble against a machine and the house and everything was geared to being inside consuming shit, buying shit; gambling away money, or thinking some bullshit club makes one cool all the sudden. So much posing from the youngsters...
Well your previous post indicated you had clear knowledge of my supposed "true cause", and used it as proof of a bigger point. But now you admit you have no idea what it is but surely you had something in mind when writing those words?
And who are these (ideological I assume you mean) peers...
I was thinking more of the the 24 hour temperature extremes of the open desert areas 'round your parts. I've been to Vegas in late July and felt the heat radiating off the buildings at 4:30 AM so I know exactly what you refer too.
I could never live in a big city for that reason and others but...
You misunderstood my post as agreeing with the BLM as being racist or just as likely my tendency to long windedness rather than brevity clouded my point. I was pointing out the fallacy in such thinking hoping he might see a similar mistake in his thinking. Just as the BLM focuses on black lives...
The desert wouldn't provide lower temperatures at night than 80 if daytime was 110+? I guess I'm comparing to the deserts in say Iraq or similar regions that can be surprising cold at night while unbelievably hot during the day. You'd have to experience first-hand to believe the temperature...
You're definitely right. I recently drove the entire stretch along the Columbia Gorge and while not for the first time I am always amazed how quickly the climate changes from marine just outside Portland to the sweet spot around The Dalles to the desert of Eastern WA and OR.
But that's what's...
Damn your douche baggery never fails to amaze or show any limits. You have no interest in genuine discourse, rather you're content to erroneously accuse so many of the same tired things.
You are once again so incredibly wrong yet have zero interest in even trying to self correct. The willful...
No doubt. The humidity never allows one to feel clean even 5 minutes after a shower. But it's not strictly a choice between dry heat and humidity. I've never understood why people bag on Pacific Northwest climate so much. Who wants to stay inside air conditioned homes or buildings much of the...
My reply wasn't intended to show any disagreement in what you said. I guess I'm more interested in seeing the common ground and psychological traps we often fall into no matter where we are on the political spectrum. I see the extremism increasingly manifested in violence as a symptom of the...
With the amazing advances in natural language processing I'm both surprised and disappointed translating software hasn't advanced in proportion at all and from a developer standpoint I would think it would be easier to do. I feel your pain trying to read technical writing especially via...
To me there's truth in that often used "but it's a dry heat!" comment. I've lived in Washington state nearly my entire life but spending much of this summer in Indiana for family reasons. The humidity and heat is suffocating for me and my comments regarding the weather only result in me being...
In another thread we discussed the human need to dehumanize their enemies as it eases the psychological burden and guilt when it leads to war against the enemy. There are countless examples of this throughout history and beyond. No doubt the first human conflict witnessed both sides dehumanizing...
Very much a playful comment, that emoji is I think maybe the second time I've ever used one and no doubt the wrong one. For some reason reading your post reminded of the days when the powers that be decreed all code must be localized to almost 40 languages right away. And this codebase was...
I've quickly come to the same conclusion, that or your garden variety troll who thinks that after reading a few posts from others he is then qualified to make blanket accusations of racism.
It's such an old and tired form of trolling.
Of course we shouldn't abandon our allies. Shooting down the Syrian SU-22 was in direct support of our partner forces. The bombing the SU22 performed on our partner forces was about 2.5 miles inside a deconfliction zone. The deconfliction hotline was called and used exactly as it was designed...
So the lack BLM movement isn't concerned with all lives or white lives too but that doesn't equate to racism or a lack of caring of all lives asshole. The burden to meet you're just defined threshold isn't on me and no one other than a total idiot would think their arbitrary threshold somehow is...
You use the word empirical and go on to make an assumption in the same sentence and as your data? You're a fucking clown!
Even if the answer is zero that proves nothing idiot. A lack of something is not empirical (your word again) evidence. It's not my responsibility to meet your bullshit...
WTF is wrong with you? You couldn't be more wrong in your assumptions and accusations of me. Only a fucking idiot would think a few forum posts is evidence of what you accuse.
You're not interested in honest discourse, instead content to be a troll with your.feable and baseless accusations...
But what you're suggesting goes against exactly what I'm saying and anyone with basic word comprehension can see that. Either I haven't clearly explained myself or more likely you're simply not interested in legitimate and honest discourse, and instead posting baseless accusations of racism...
"Hot and high" conditions require either the lowering of an aircraft's MTOW or using additional performance, if the aircraft has it, that is not required in normal operations. The thinner air that a higher altitude airport has along with high temperatures is hell on a wing's and even the most...
WTF is wrong with you to equate anything I've said as evidence of my defending "self-avowed race realists" (your words not mine) Seriously motherfucker explain exactly how you can logically use anything I've said is evident of what you are saying? Why even quote my post when your reply has...
Ahh, I forgot you view any and all that fall under your definition as conservatives in an entirely monolithic manner that is totally devoid of nuance and intellectual honesty.
As Jaskalas brought up the issue of tribalism in the modern human and dehumanization it's so glaringly obvious you...
Back so soon from your break? Damn that both sucks and blows.
But doesn't the Constitution clearly provide justification for the 2nd as necessary for the citizens protection against a tyrannical government? Pointing out that fact as one reason to enjoy one's 2nd amendment rights is very...
So then what? The ballpark shooting is now justified based on what you're alluding to? Which then inevitably leads to a retaliation that is justified by not words spoken, but the shooting itself? If the answers to your questions justify shootings, the shootings have to then justify an escalation...
Agreed. If my original reply wasn't clear I wasn't disagreeing with your premise regarding tribalism in the modern day. Rather just wanted to add that I think it's a vestigial trait that a long time ago was an evolutionary advantage. Much like our instinctual adversions to the dark, spiders &...
I miss the gold 'ol days when right wing violence was cloaked in patriotism as fighting the good fight as God's soldiers against communism. Communism was a great catch all used that no one dared question. Too bad when opportunities such as Hungary/Budapest 1956 to confront USSR occupation of a...
Trump should announce he has some ugly disease or syndrome, which would help explain much of the erratic behavior and perhaps garner some sympathy and use this as his exit strategy. He might be able to save a little face too not that I care but his ego no doubt will require it.
Or he could...
Tribalism explains so much and once one understands it's human context, you see tribalism everywhere and in so many different aspects of life.
You say it's a failing of our mental state, I think that might be a little harsh although tribalism today leads to more negative outcomes than positive...
In my 5th grade class impeachment was not only taught but used in reality. I was impeached after only 3 days in office after being voted class President. My nefarious back channel to our sister elementary in the then USSR was discovered. :mad:
