Bump sticks are ineffective as a way to increase fire rate and are a gimmick. They are notoriously unreliable. If you want to be scared, look up binaries triggers(or don’t) but they aren’t really used in crime. Other than a case here in my state, and I believe one other. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not the scary looking guns that kill most people. The majority of gun reported shootings, are suicides, or, inner city crime. Neither of which I condone by any means, however, people are not walking around with bump stocks.

Many of them get drunk off fermenting fruit then go around and sting shit in a drunken stupor.

This is awesome, as a small garage door business owner, I may start bringing these up. Though, I may be one of the few people that cares about this.
I may get one, I’ve kept dumb motors for a long time to avoid any bs subscription to open my efing door.

I always wondered why he wouldn’t sit behind those trucks, then one year he finally told me. Really tragic. I don’t know how his friend actually overcame that, or if he did, they fell out of touch, but that would ruin me. On so many levels. I don’t know that I would drive a car again, at the same time, I live in the US, how do you not? lol but that’s a rant for another day.

My Dad’s friend in college had this happen, except with a plumbing truck and pipe, and it decapitated his wife and daughter.

Who is this person and what did he do to get this reaction from my fellow Lemmy users?
Edit: Nevermind, I have google

Call your mom. (If your relationship is good) it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to, you don’t forget once they’re gone and it’s too late.
Sorry for the dramatics, I lost my mom when I was 21

Been playing “the isle” recently. Game has had/still has some questionable development happening around it, however, dinosaur. I’ve been enjoying it.

And the training consisted of sitting in a classroom, then taking a paper test and scoring well enough, if not more. I loved AA 2

Before. America’s Army dropped for the PC in ‘02. I feel like grunts were getting chargers from like 06-current. Could be wrong though

Have you heard of/seen highlanders? They’re one of my personal favorites. (Outside of whatever one is closest to me)

Most of this comment is out of left field. Wow. Uh.
Dealing with a couple coyotes. Honestly probably didn’t need a gun.
This study shows coyotes predate on humans up to 37% of known attacks. That person was fortunate to have a firearm.
Dude said he wouldn’t feel better with a rifle, well, from his personal anecdote, to mine, I would. I am much more likely to be accidentally shot by my friend with the handgun imo.
I don’t know how much of a problem that is, oh and it’s going to snag on something. I’m not a gun nut.
Your lack of experience is obvious. I’m not going to go into all the reasons you can clear buildings and rooms without reaching for a handgun, as muzzle discipline and accuracy become exponentially more difficult. There’s a reason SWAT breaches with rifles and not handguns, well, them and any one else that has quick access to a rifle in the situation.
consumerist trend to load up guns with extraneous shit and go for longer and longer guns.
I work at a gun store, that’s simply not true. SBRs and AR pistols exist and are extremely popular.
don’t compare what we did to terrorists, look at the IRA.
right, or the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Or the literal decades of combat US special operators have with the platform since Vietnam, or any other of its long, violent life. Or you can ask any of these countries, or, look into any of these use cases
Maybe don’t chime in on things you’re absolutely clueless on? I’m trying to figure out how to put this somewhat nicely but you clearly have some misguided thoughts here. And none of this comment has anything to do with the fact that, if surrounded by a pack of hungry animals, I want an AR-style rifle personally.

Anecdote time! I went to infantry basic training and we were told over and over again, if you have to draw your sidearm, you’re dead. The AR absolutely is not too bulky for close quarters and I would feel much better with one on my hand than anything else. The US army has murdered a lot of people with M4 rifles in CQC. (My politics don’t align with a stereotype of a former infantryman. Please do not assume too much)
In either situation, with adrenaline, good luck getting shots on target.
Hmm, I don’t understand the downvotes but okay lmao I’m sorry that the AR platform is actually fine in close quarters?

I’ll have to look into it. I never had a PlayStation so unfortunately these games missed me
This overhaul is the beginning steps of revamping the tutorials, and, hopefully, being much more beginner friendly. If you like space sims, this is one of the best times to give X4 a shot! I would argue, a lot of the systems don’t take a TON to learn, but, they take a TON of time to get to some of them. It’s definitely not a “sit and play for 20 minutes” game. Along with the tutorial upgrades comes some much needed graphical overhauls as well. Great game, great community, and lastly a small, fantastic dev team that’s been supporting the game for years.
Been her favorite spot since she was a kitten. For a while I thought she’d outgrow it, nope.
So, last night, my neutered, 5 year old boy cat just started howling and acting weird. I have 0 idea why. Other than, maybe he saw/smelled another cat last night that set him off? Idk. Has anyone else had this kind of a problem? Should I take him to a vet? He doesn’t seem to have a problem with me touching him anywhere but he’s definitely on edge and being weird/howling. He’s never done anything like this before. Thoughts? Edit: I have taken him to a vet. We’ll see. Thanks everyone. Edit 2: urinary blockage. Removing that and getting X-rays. Thanks everyone. Going to be an expensive visit I think.
