Canada has historically had decent results from the tac-50.

Yes, but the sea is fucking cold as fuck so I don't. We were required to learn in primary school including the correct way to jump off a boat wearing a life jacket. And how to get a person in distress back to shore.

I knew someone who learned as an adult by reading a book about the mechanics of swimming and then getting into a pool and swimming.

He wants to hire them to work in "acquisitions".

That's just a photo of D J Qualls.

Protesting is a good start, but I'd say the McMillan TAC-50 is a better choice at this point.

First off the suicide rate in the Nordic countries (with the very notable exception of Greenland) is actually lower than the states. It's just higher than other parts of western Europe.

Second, Norway has a larger proportion of the population in active service than the states. Much larger when you include reservists. Also there is national service here so in a pinch a large proportion of the population can be called up.

You have to consider that Norway has a. Population of 5.5m so you should ask how Norway stacks up against Atlanta (met area).

As for the equipment I have no idea what we spend it on. But the navy seems pretty well equipped and the air force uses f35s so I guess it's mostly up to date. Also Norway isn't the easiest place to invade geographically. None of the roads are really good enough to drive tanks on. And the whole country is connected by bridges and tunnels which are easily collapsed if necessary.

Also there is very tight cooperation between Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. So you really can't look at any one of those countries in isolation.

The annual return on Norway's sovereign wealth fund is over 100 billion euros. So there's that. It's really not going to impact us if a chunk of that is used to buy weapons. The money is just getting reinvested for a rainy day and it looks a lot like it's shitting it down rn.

No one will get in the way of their love! It's written in the stars!

Incidentally, if anyone out there works as a PA or driver or something to one of these billionaires, tomorrow is "bring your piano wire to work day".

I'm sorry, the based department has been temporarily shut down by doge.

I know, but he's only protecting against headshots. No sniper in their right mind goes for a headshot. Much greater chance of hitting if you go for centre mass.

Did you know that the longest confirmed sniper kill is 3800 m. It wss made by a Ukrainian soldier using the horizon's lord anti material rifle.

If you don't want to hurt the kid, an anti material rifle would make short work of whatever body armour he's wearing.

The way he's going, he's just going to get the kid killed.

billion dollars

I can keep it up for a good while, but several months is excessive.

This happened to me. No joke. I lost half a standard deviation from my iq for each child i had. #dunceLife

Reproduction is the goal. It could be as simple as giving the young a chance to out compete their r****ded parents for limited food.

The only thing (other than index funds) that I've invested in is rocket lab. With the world on the brink of world war 3, a lot of people are going to want a musk free alternative to SpaceX. Because rocket lab is based in new Zealand it should be relatively Trump proof.

Why is your face italic 😏
