The production costs don't account for the ungodly amounts of money they sink into marketing to brainwash their consumer base into thinking that their phones and other products are worth paying so much for.

Marketing used like that is an insane waste of wealth and productivity IMO.

Preventive John Wick

A lot of people I've seen in Lamborghini cars aren't serious about their lives. They're spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

I actually knew a guy who had an Robarms M96 rifle chambered in .223 that would "overpressure" whenever he fired 5.56 out of it but not .223. Nothing catastrophic, but this rifle is designed so the barrel can be easily removed if you press on a latch and firing 5.56 out of it would cause the barrel to slip off of the latch and fall off of the rifle. It was working just fine with .223 though.

It is more of a statement to the flimsy design and construction the rifle itself than anything else as we figured that it was the pressure felt at the gas port was what was causing the barrel to jump out of the rifle and not a failure of the bolt, which remained safely locked and did its very important job of supporting the case head under the firing pressures. But it was a pretty hilarious way to tell that the rifle operated at higher pressures when firing 5.56 compared to .223.

What if G1 is lying and both of them always tell lies?

Quick! Do something that violates the ELUA so it bricks itself!

To be an even more massive pedant, .223 has a slightly larger projectile diameter than .22 LR. And also .223 and 5.56 are technically not the exactly the same either.

The Soviet Union collapsed in good part because it bankrupted itself trying to catch up with the Star Wars program, which was not even real.

It's also a .22LR cartridge, which is the wrong caliber. Trump was shot at with a .223.

Why? Wouldn't you gain a third limb to push up with?

I'm still waiting for Trump to share his narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis.

He fired the whole bullet. That's 30 percent more bullet per bullet!

This guy engineers

Trump is so close to realizing that big corporations and billionaires are only there to extract as much wealth from its customers and employees as possible and that they don't give a single crap about them. So close.

I never wanted anything so bad as this shoe car right now

At the gym, in the middle of a set. Some dude just walks over and starts talking to me. I can't understand shit because I've got earbuds in and I can't pause the podcast because I'm too busy holding the weight of a small person above my head. I cut my set short, put down the weights, pause the podcast and apologize, ask him to repeat as I couldn't hear him. Turns out it was just some small talk I never asked for. I politely entertain it for a while then he goes away.

4 minutes later he does the same shit all over again. Seriously some people are fucking clueless.

Illegal... You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have it. I just don't know where it is.

Putin stole Trump's elevator shoes

But Prince Edward Island is the lowest and it has a relatively tiny population.

Edit: nvm, I assumed wrong
