  • This is exactly it. Conservatives don't want free speech for others: they want free speech for themselves, which in their minds also means that no matter what they say nobody can react negatively to it in any way. They specifically don't want anybody else to have any freedoms; the core of conservatism is social dominance over the Other

  • Oh yeah I know there's been other leaks before, just that most of the time it seems like it's western gear and it's a refreshing change

  • I think the point is that it's a bit silly to classify cracks as malware

  • Ah, Mobile Infantry

  • There can't be too many people on the internet who haven't lost the game by now.

    Or is it just an old fart thing? Do the whippersnappers even know about the game?

  • I'd guess people have tried those small piezos and they haven't worked too well (not a big enough spark?), or at least it seems likely most would start from the simplest possible solution. I'd definitely have started with a piezo too if I was screwing around building a zip gun (which I'm definitely not doing)

  • For fucking once it's not idiots leaking western stuff. I'm like halfway convinced War Thunder is a Russian intelligence operation

  • Oh yeah like I said they've made a bunch of gold plated ones and I've likely seen the same gold plated RK you have, but they still look very much like Sako, like the one on that page:

    Looks like the drip I posted is a Chinese Type 56-1 at least according to reddit and I'd tend to agree, because you'd need to modify a Sako really heavily to make it look that much like an AK, and I doubt Sako would bother since they'd have to custom make everything including the receiver. They do customize stuff but that wouldn't be customization, but a whole 'nother gun with practically no common parts except maybe some of the guts (even the charging handle is "wrong" for RK95 so the bolt carrier would have to be custom)

  • I was in the 🇫🇮 military for a few years so my service weapon was the RK 62 and I've seen some 95s, and the drip rifle doesn't look like either - especially not the 95 which looks much more "modern", iirc doesn't have a stockless variant (edit: nvm the drip has a folding stock but way different compared to the 95), has a different kind of muzzle device etc. 62 doesn't really match either, controls look different, the gas tube on the drip is way more AK-ish when on the 62 it's kinda blockier, etc. In general the drip one looks more like a classic stereotypical AK than Sako's stuff.

    Dunno what this drip one is actually. It's a more classic AK pattern but I'm not that deep into pew pews to be able to guess the manufacturer

    edit: I know gold plated Sakos exist though, so I don't doubt you saw one, just saying this one isn't it 😁

  • \*some terms and conditions apply, bravery not available in most areas

  • Was wondering the same but I have no idea. It sort of looks like it's got a small segment display counter thing at the bottom there, but it might just be a jewel.

  • In John Clark's book Ignition (highly recommended for rocketry nerds if you can get your hands on it. I had a copy but somehow managed to lose it…), he described chlorine trifluoride like this:

    It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that's the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

  • This is the case with literally every conservative crowing about "free speech". They want full freedom for themselves so that no matter what they say there can't be any negative consequences or reactions, and everybody else can get fucked and die in an extermination camp

  • Reject USB, return to DB-25

  • Share and enjoy!

  • Yeah they've been saying this every time someone helps Ukraine. First small arms were a "dangerous escalation", then heavier weapons, then tanks, then fighters, etc. etc. Funny how they don't consider eg. threatening nuclear war every second day or sabotage operations in Europe a "dangerous escalation".

    I'm starting to feel like nuclear war would probably be preferable to a planet with Russia in it (the fact that I live in a country bordering them doesn't help)
