Yep. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people every day. Karma is just copium for the masses.

He wasn’t jailed. He wasn’t abroad. He wasn’t captive. He wasn’t injured. He was as comfortable as anyone else old and dying could hope to be. He was surely more comfortable than countless others he negatively affected throughout his life.

I don’t like it either, but sometimes good things do happen to bad people. Sometimes bad guys get away with being bad guys and end up dying about the same as anyone else because karma isn’t real.

This wouldn’t work. Tournament rules may allow multi-language decks, but if a player can’t read the language printed, they also allow that player to call a judge over and ask for the oracle text with no penalty.

The man died comfortable, surrounded by wealth and loved ones, never once having to answer for his crimes. That’s not karma.

Unless you suck. In which case, listen to the people who tell you to do better.

Non stick pans aren’t magic. They all require PMCS. There’s nothing wrong with the pans, just take better care of them.

“AI isn’t bad, it’s the people who dislike that are the problem!”

LMAO.

I just looked up the Rossi Brawler and it’s only $335, putting it around half the price as your cheapest .44 mag. I didn’t know they were that cheap, but it makes sense given the simple design. You can get it chambered in .300 blackout and it has a threaded barrel, so that’s pretty cool.

That’s still only a little bit cheaper than an AR-15, which is going to be more effective at just about everything, so it’s probably still not something I would go for, but I think I’m seeing the appeal now. If you just gotta be able to put 5.56, .45 colt, or whatever down range, and that’s all you can afford, it sure beats nothing.

Your hand might take a beating, but the gun would be fine. Generally speaking, assuming there are no microfractures from manufacturing defects, if the steel and the design can withstand one shot, it can withstand tens of thousands. Assuming, of course, you perform the required PMCS and don’t fire so quickly as to overheat the steel.

The case basically explodes in the chamber.

Yeah, that’s how firearms work.

When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into what’s ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isn’t an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. It’s this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.

Of course a shotgun receiver can’t withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but that’s not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge won’t create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.

But, by all means, don’t take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.

Extraction and cycling are a whole other story, I’m not referring to that. 12 gauge shells are rimmed, .50 BMG is rimless, of course it probably won’t cycle in most shotguns.

I’ve often struggled to determine the use case for these kinds of guns. If you’re hunting, surely a long gun in the same cartridge would be a better choice. If only for emergency defense against large animals while hiking, surely a revolver with a slightly smaller cartridge would be worth having five shots instead of one before having to reload, right?

Besides being a cool conversation piece or range toy, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do with something like this.

Actually, the gun is completely safe. Many people have tested and confirmed this.

12 gauge is actually like .54 caliber so most of the expanding gas passes around the projectile without building pressure. The projectile leaves the barrel way slower than normal, but still fast enough to be lethal, and not very accurately.

From someone who has fired a .45-70 derringer, you’re absolutely correct. At a certain point, your wrist is getting torqued whether you like it or not.

It’s kinda hard to tell from this picture, but it looks like some kind of .308 or maybe .30-06 cartridge.

Single-shot handguns that fire large rifle rounds certainly exist and fire much larger rounds than that. Kentucky Ballistics on YouTube has many videos showing his collection of them. The video where Eddie Hall fires them all is a good vid where he shows many of them off.

With how badly they’ve all abused all existing social contracts, I can see how some might arrive at the conclusion of refusing to enter into any more with them.

Can’t think of any that started with 2, but there are many examples of sequels making their way to the states masquerading as the first title in a series.

Shadow Tower released on PS1 in Japan only. Shadow Tower 2 was released in Japan on PS2, but when it was released in America, it was just called “Shadow Tower” since no one had heard of the first one.

Not a 2, but there was Clayfighters 63 and 1/3. But that was just a play on the “[Name] 64” naming convention that N64 games commonly used.

That might just work if any of them could read or decide how to feel on their own

Mandatory insurance without proper payouts is just a government-sponsored extortion scheme. It’s paying “protection” to mob goons who will smash up your store anyway because they want more from now on; same energy.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. I’ve binged the whole series twice and I love libraries. In fact, I can’t even remember anything from the show about libraries at all.

Now that I think about it, I fucking hate Indiana for some reason. I’m sure that’s completely unrelated though
