The fun is this for me is the thought that a supernatural force attacked you in your sleep, you claim it to be a Christian/religious force, and yet at no point does he acknowledge/reflect that maybe his actions may cause scrutiny by his religious beliefs.

Thought process?: "My God created everything, including deamons sent to attack me personally, clearly I am doings gods work"

Believe it or not when I took my concealed weapons license class years ago it was in a small room indoors, at the end to ensure everyone has at least had fired a gun before, they handed us an old .22 handgun (maybe a browning? Long time ago) with a silencer on it. And 1 by 1 had us take shots at a small target with a sack of what I assume was dirt/corn/or such behind it.

So around 15 people in a 10 by 30 foot (3.3 by 10 meter) room where we shot at a target with the other 14 people standing behind us. No hearing protection was needed. It obviously is louder than the movies, but amazing to not have our ears ringing in a space so small.

The silencer on such a small handgun is awkward at best. Your natural instinct is to want to hold it up, as it weighs down the front of the gun drastically, but clearly you should/can not fire like that, as the gases will expell throughout the silencer resulting in injury more than likely. That was in Florida, the state which concealed weapons permit is accepted in the most U.S. states during travel. The class, took no more than a couple hours during a single night.

For real he obviously got tired, and went to sleep after doing so. Told his then girlfriend about it who was in bed, she said yeah sure whatever and rolled over and went back to sleep. Woke him up a little later when she realized the mattress was covered in blood and brought him to the hospital. He even has the scars and X-rays to prove it. Haha

Tuna Cowboy discussed that below, it appears there are cases that show otherwise listed on the link he sent. In theory that is how jury's should work. From said page:

In 1988, the Sixth Circuit upheld a jury instruction: "There is no such thing as valid jury nullification." In United States v. Thomas (1997), the Second Circuit ruled that jurors can be removed if there is evidence that they intend to nullify the law. The Supreme Court has not recently confronted the issue of jury nullification. In 2017, a jury was instructed: "You cannot substitute your sense of justice, whatever that means, for your duty to follow the law, whether you agree with it or not. It is not for you to determine whether the law is just or whether the law is unjust. That cannot be your task. There is no such thing as valid jury nullification. You would violate your oath and the law if you willfully brought a verdict contrary to the law given to you in this case." The Ninth Circuit upheld the first three sentences of the jury's instruction and overruled the remainder but deemed that instruction a harmless error and affirmed the conviction.[67]


Looks like it will get messy about whether such would be allowed, and whether you yourself could catch trouble for ruling against the law.

Well since it's on a small scale, maybe 500 million gallons of water per year might cool it off. So we are definitely in a skin melting blood boiling and non breathable hot air situation rising towards his face. -mostlu joking, I haven't done enough math to back up these claims, but it very much seems like it would be so.

You can't really dial down output from it, so I always assumed the one in his chest also has the energy to power all of the suit features.

I wonder how often they cause things like heavy metal poisoning, thankfully not enough people around me are shot to take a poll. Although I do know several people who have been shot. The majority, shot themselves. 1 actually did so intentionally. Not the brightest bulb. (Shot himself in the shin, so it wasn't a suicide attempt)

Think it just varies by rounds/gun and surroundings. I've had 9mm's be quite quiet, but I had a Walther PK380 that would make my ears ring in a field without protection. It's a smaller round than a 9mm... So never understood why.

Isn't the death star in orbit at one point?

Okay, so if we are going to give batman flack for having super-alloys, where do we stand on Tony Stark putting a reactor in his chest with no concernable heat sink. (He wears it without the suit)

I couldn't figure out a way in Brave, it won't let you set a custom URL for the default browser. Firefox allowed it to just change the customer browser link in the format of

Couldn't find an APK to test vanadium, I assume it may be exclusive to GrapheneOS? (I just called it test for this, so name it something you'll recognize in a few months)

Once the Default browser is changed in Firefox/chrome, their widgets pull that information from the app, so it just searches that way.

Yeah, the chrome one will convert.

If you set it as your default search in chrome or such, it will convert the Google search bar in Android to a SearXNG search bar. I started using it a little while back. Firefox never did well for me on Android (I'm sure it's anecdotal)
