'Factory' tour? Are they actually producing marksman-grade weapons in NK? I don't mean to be overly facetious. A lot of this is decades-old tech and you can make high-grade machines in the dozens or hundreds through skilled labor and great effort (but you can't equip an army or a nation). But, on the other hand, I always assume that any claims of 'production' vs 'assembly' or even 'This is a repair depot and rifle range' from NK are vastly overstated.
I think this is a really interesting question that is probably totally impossible to fully accurately answer. If you ask them they produce the best rifles in the world, unparalleled in the west. If you ask western intelligence/media the public facing answer is that they are fully incapable of producing anything worthwhile at all. My bet is, like most things in life, the answers somewhere in the middle. They probably have a small capacity to create actual working marksman rifles domestically, but they almost certainly source the machinery (and probably barrels, optics, and maybe even magazines) from China, Pakistan, and elsewhere. I have no doubt they could machine chassis, fire control groups, and accessories domestically. Theyâve been producing weapons since the start of the Cold War so they must have a population of at least semi-skilled gunsmiths, with enough time and effort Iâm sure they can competently copy a decade old rifle pattern that wasnât super novel to begin with. At the end of the day itâs still a bolt action rifle so they can probably produce enough to fill out parades and field some that are âaccurate enoughâ
Maybe they needed to put him somewhere safe while something catastrophic happens to the other vaults. "Well, we're gonna kill nearly all of them off, but we really need to keep Norm". Maybe something Hank related. He did "nuke Shady Sands", as if we're supposed to believe that version of the story entirely, maybe he had a failsafe for the vault in the event of him being outed as a (possibly Enclave affiliated) genocidal mastermind.
I feel like his affiliation with Vault-Tec may have been more genuine. In my mind he was always trying to work where he thought he could help the most, vault-tec before the war and the enclave after. Even if that help was âpragmaticâ at best (he seemed genuinely shocked Vault-Tec Plan D wasnât more popular before the war and the way he handled everything with Lucy and his head) he always wants to do whatâs best for the world but always ended up in the most fucked situation imaginable. The Enclave is shown to be willing to recruit vault dwellers in Fo3 so my current headcannon is that Siggi got out of the vault and somehow fell in with the enclave thinking he was going to help reclaim the wasteland for humanity and provide novel solutions for the worlds new problems but he quickly realized that the enclave is just a mask off version of Vault-Tec with more visible guns.
I love to see lazy landlords seething in comments like this. You are a child defending someone for being lazy and greedy. The tenants pay to live comfortably and portable AC units arenât cheap. It shouldnât be up to the tenant to spend their own money to keep a place comfortable. All of your comments just tell me you are a detestable person who has probably only seen success through greed and underhandedness. I hope you enjoy a very lonely life and your attitude catches up to you one day so you get to live the rest of your life under the thumb of others as well.
Sorry I donât actually do a background check before I comment, your attitude just painted a pretty clear picture in my head, albeit one that was wrong. Iâve never seen someone who claims to rent have such a pro LL attitude. Either way youâre totally missing the point. I understand the mentality but youâre deluded my friend. Your situation doesnât exist for 99.99 percent of renters. Also the heat in LA just isnât comparable to the heat in Texas. Iâm glad you think your landlord is your best friend and will always have your best interest in mind. But you will gain nothing from this in the end. No matter how much you like them and think they like you they are only ever one financial decision away from taking this entire situation away from you. Think about that before you invest your own time and money into a space you donât own. Also realize that they will only ever profit from the changes you make and the supplements you provide. At the end of the day youâll just be looking for another place to live, and wherever it will be it wonât have the prices from 6 years ago. Also the comment where you make your ârecommendationâ has been deleted. Iâm glad you have a âcoolerâ that works for you for cheap but you still had to pay for a supplement to make your rented property comfortable and that should be totally unacceptable and spits in the face of âquiet enjoymentâ. So every tenant will have to go and get a portable AC or âcoolerâ those all run on electricity, and actual portable ACs take a lot of it. Assuming they all got one to keep all their rooms independently comfortable they would almost certainly blow a breaker, even if they didnât their electricity bill would be many magnitudes higher than if the LL just lowered the temp 3 degrees. The tenants shouldnât have to make a huge initial and substantial ongoing investment just to keep their home comfortable, thatâs a failure of our entire system and itâs also exactly what theyâre already paying someone else to do. Either way, enjoy your perfect living situation I guess and keep thanking your LL for not providing a comfortable space for you because youâre so excited to improve their investment for them.
I was so shocked to see this post on here. Iâm a Tennesseean and I have to say I was filled with a feeling of state pride I donât get very often. Sheâs really the best, so many people in my life can only read because of the imagination library. And I may be far from my Irish Heritage now but knowing that the best thing the place I call home now has is spreading to the native home of my family is definitely a good feeling.
Okay, thatâs pretty much how it is here. Except for the country music scene, they take up a lot of the JD fandom around here. Any event of a certain size will have carts serving frozen Jack and coke and many bars will have their branding on them. Iâm not much of a fan myself, just curious of its international reputation. Thereâs really only one local whisky I like at all. Though I used to drink Jameson with ginger ale funny enough. I will get the frozen Jack and coke if Iâm at an event on a hot day too.
Any recommendations on towns in middle Tennessee? Just looking for some land, 400k price range, and near the mountains. Thought Johnson city area looked nice but I have never been so only basing my opinion on research.
400k can get you probably only a small 2br if you want any land at all in middle TN. Locals will tell you that Johnson City is anything but âniceâ historic and well loved by the natives? Absolutely. But definitely not âniceâ and I definitely wouldnât expect to roll up to somewhere like that as a transplant and ever be seen as anything other than an outsider, your kids too. If youâre researching a town in east TN make sure to google its name with âoverdoseâ âmethâ and âtraffickingâ and you will see some really scary stats.
Iâm actually pretty allergic to mold, my sinuses fill with polyps that have to surgically get removed. Is mold just in the air outside? Or something you need to watch out for/prevent in your home?
The high humidity means that you run into a lot of mold here. Old or cheaper homes are going to have some level of mold somewhere on the property. Itâs not really just âin the airâ but not uncommon to can catch a whiff of it in older parts of cities and when hiking/walking in nature
"While there was general agreement that blue lights do make injecting more difficult, a small number of participants were entirely undeterred by them, and half would use a blue-lit washroom if they needed somewhere to inject urgently."
Iâm glad people are starting to cite sources. I wish they would read them. And then maybe after that we can all learn a little bit about sample sizes. We donât need to be a society of scientists but I wish everyone wasnât constantly in a rush to just confirm their own biases by taking a cursory glance at something (this applies to the actual subject of this post as well)
Why are wetsuits black if it's known that the visual cue = seal for other animals? Shouldn't wetsuits be colors that are more associated with poisonous/venomous animals, like bright orange?
Iâm no expert but I believe itâs for heat retention. The Pacific can get very cold and if youâre going to be in the water for long in places like California you can catch hypothermia, even in the summer. I believe wearing a darkly colored wet suit is almost a necessity throughout much of the year if youâre going to do any serious surfing/diving.
People are recommending to buy a rotary but unless youâre going to be doing lots of demo/masonry work itâs not worth getting a cheap one thatâs just going to sit in your home collecting dust. Pay the 30 bucks, 50 bucks for 2 days, to get a high quality rental from HD. They usually have the chisels too but you can buy one for about the same price as the rental. Hell I have to do demo/masonry drilling a hand full of times every year and I still prefer to rent.
I didnât think I had any movie opinions that were quite that divisive then I saw your post. Fuck Lars Von Trier, horrid vile man who now makes god awful misery porn. I genuinely really really like some of his work but for the most part his work feels like hollow shock bait.
Yeah like I understand this is funny on the surface. But if youâre convinced thereâs a real chance that you might have a warrant and your city doesnât have a reliable clerks office this is honestly the best advice possible, unless you have the resources to show up there with a lawyer which would be even better.
We had one of those in the TV Station I used to work at. They used it back when they archieved stuff on dvds and to send copys of reports to the people that starred in them.
Yeah itâs really funny that these are so emblematic of piracy to people. All I can see is the hours I spent archiving and copying talent shows and news broadcasts
People joke about these being for ~totally legal~ discs, but there were (and are!) plenty of legitimate uses for a machine like this. If you're an independent music creator and can't quite afford to have your CDs formally pressed, this is an option. Heck, once upon a time if you were a smaller press shop, you'd still have a setup like this and then a separate setup for printing disc art onto the front of the disc in professional(ish) quality. Truly professional disc printers use a setup not unlike this, just orders of magnitude bigger.
Yeah I entered the video production world when physical media was getting passed around a lot more than it is now. We used disc multipliers for so much. Archives, dailies, even delivery. File sizes are so big now that most of those functions have to be done on hard/solid drive or cloud storage, but one of my very first forays into the industry was using a machine just like the one in this post as a part of my high school media class to produce copies of talent shows/kids plays for elementary schools in my area to sell.
Iâm probably younger than a majority here. I was in middle school and I honestly hated reading. Then I had an amazing librarian who recommended âgoing postalâ of all books. I think they were just a big discworld nerd and it was the most recent book, but it worked. I read small gods after that and I was hooked.
These are great pencils. I think others are misunderstanding that youâre looking for the exact green translucent one. They donât make it anymore but I think as someone else has pointed out you can take the graphite out of the new version and put it in the one you like. Just take the eraser off of a new one and spin the cap in reverse until it pops off the spring and the graphite should come out
Low confidence prestidigitators these days will spend a month âperfectingâ a new ritual to flip their eggs instead of studying mage hand for a weekend.
Just because no one else has said it. The change in luminosity and the way they move in one direction but each point drifts slightly, reminds me of a favorite UFO/UAP explanation: high altitude flares being carried by the wind.
I totally agree with most of your points but I donât think itâs fair to say there are only 12 police officers in the FC. There are 12 rangers, which are a separate entity acting above FC security.
Yeah. I think AI is on a mission to kill creativity. But I constantly have a need for more high fantasy art of like wizards hitting bingers that I can only just now fulfill

Anyone know when this was?
2005. Thatâs when filter used that logo and color scheme.

Did you read my comments at all? Iâm not a landlord - I rent a place and I recommended a cooler I bought that works great and only costs $50.

Isn't that less than cost?
Probably about half that honestly. Once you include labor though itâs almost definitely less

JD is somewhat popular here. Mixed with Coke normally. Especially in the metal music scene you would often see it promoted at gigs and events etc.
Okay, thatâs pretty much how it is here. Except for the country music scene, they take up a lot of the JD fandom around here.

Every time I spell out how despicable i find Lars Von Trier in this sub, I become this meme.
I didnât think I had any movie opinions that were quite that divisive then I saw your post. Fuck Lars Von Trier, horrid vile man who now makes god awful misery porn. I genuinely really really like some of his work but for the most part his work feels like hollow shock bait.
Ok but this would genuinely look really good at a court hearing

I think I'm a little lost here. Can you explain what it means to have a warrant, and when would I want to ask if I have one?
The others who have commented are correct but for the sake of closure,
We had one of those in the TV Station I used to work at. They used it back when they archieved stuff on dvds and to send copys of reports to the people that starred in them.

Yes thats exaclty how people react to me. The mind spell is working perfectly, i see.
If mind spell is the name of that fresh strain of pipe weed you nature jockeys have conjured forth Im all for it.
Some wizards like to create new spells to very specific problems who needs "mend this hole in my pants" when mending already exists?
Low confidence prestidigitators these days will spend a month âperfectingâ a new ritual to flip their eggs instead of studying mage hand for a weekend.
Wyrd Sisters and Reaper Man for sure. I like the âsecret societyâ and ârituals in the darkâ aspects of Guards Guards Guards! Too
Just because no one else has said it. The change in luminosity and the way they move in one direction but each point drifts slightly, reminds me of a favorite UFO/UAP explanation: high altitude flares being carried by the wind.

I totally agree with most of your points but I donât think itâs fair to say there are only 12 police officers in the FC. There are 12 rangers, which are a separate entity acting above FC security.
its AI :( but i think dark fantasy art is the only exception
Yeah. I think AI is on a mission to kill creativity. But I constantly have a need for more high fantasy art of like wizards hitting bingers that I can only just now fulfill
