It depends

Not all weapons have a burst mode. Often though, militaries prefer controlled bursts of full auto, but it depends on the role and weapons system. Machine gunners are more likely to go full hog than a rifleman for example, but that’s assuming that all soldiers do the most optimal choice in any given situation, which just isn’t true.

BREAKING NEWS

In my 25 year career, this is possibly the worst thing I will report…

Oprah still exists.

We’ll be back when more information comes out about this horrible situation.

Military brat here, half the soldiers I meet are massive nerds and the other half are goobers (meatheads, guys with no prospects, guys who always wanted to be in the army). Take that as you will.

Virgin California rent control vs Chad New York rent control

um actually rent control (alone) historically has made housing worse, reduced housing quality, and raised prices 🤓🤓🤓

That’s if you mean price capping by “rent control,” if there is anything else, I don’t have anything to say about any other type of rent control, as I don’t know much about those.

I know this is quite a bit later, but this comment confused me. I do not see how loosening zoning laws that limit density and banning corporations from owning houses are mutually exclusive.These policies can and should work together as part of a bigger urbanist policy. I also don’t see how supporting local developers is that bad of a thing. I’d rather have the money stay in the community and go to a community member than some multinational corporation who owns thousands of homes across the country. Still it isn’t the best. Cooperative housing or need based housing who is better, but realistically those can’t fill up the excess of stock that we need. We will need input from private developers, as well as a big government housing initiative.

“deregulation” detected. ready the down votes. /s

Seriously though, zoning laws are a big reason why we have the current housing crisis. If given the opportunity, someone or some business will build high density housing. But you can’t with he current implementation of zoning laws. Without that barrier, you would see a lot more high density building projects

Still we do need zoning laws. I don’t think anyone wants a factory or a garbage dump in their back yard. Used correctly zoning also helps limit sprawl.

Considering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that…

But, isn’t that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I’m not being facetious, genuinely curious.

I like Will Wood, his stuff has been described as “evil jazz”, but it ranges from calm and soothing singer-songwriter type stuff to a full upbeat jazz band with chaotic composition and arrangement. I find his lyrics insightful, but they are also often quite abstract.

Cute girls doing cute things have some nice tracks, but many of them feel a bit the same-y.

The Vienna Clarinet Collection has great covers of classic clarinet songs, but classical and jazz.

I couldn’t choose one, so here are a few jazz bands I like: Francis Coppieters, Loftys Comet, T-Square, Micheal Lowerstern, Archie Shepp, Sons of Kemet, and Mansur Brown

If it works, sell or donate it. If it doesn’t work, you can see if it is worth repairing. If it’s not, recycle it. You can check on your municipality’s website on their waste management page to see if they recycle electronics.

If you do sell, donate, or recycle, make sure there is no data on the drives that you would miss, then wipe it. If you plan on recycling, you can take out the drive and destroy it. Magnets and paper shredders are helpful.

what makes you think any attempt is being made to avoid civilian casualties?

they aren’t operating under best practices.

I don’t

(Not disagreeing, but offering a bit more insight)

To be fair, what the IDF is doing is hard. Fighting irregular forces in dense urban environments is hard, especially with their opponents having hundreds of underground bunkers and using civilian shields. Even if they were operating under best practice, there would be a lot of civilian casualties.

However, they aren’t operating under best practices. I don’t know how the average IDF soldier feels, but the top brass at best doesn’t give a shit if they kill a hundred palestinian civilians per one Hamas member; At worst, they see this conflict as an excuse to actively target them.

Georgism (Land Value Tax) enters the chat

You know maybe I will because the number went down

I was joking in a satirical manner in a way to mimic the tone of the op, while pointing out how some people is this community take these kinds of memes too seriously, but I guess I wasn’t funny or clever :

Inb4 lib complains about how satirical memes promote drunk driving and killing cyclists, somehow
