So the RNC just said they won't participate in presidential debates any more because of bias.

>>32081 Are they running out of ideas for the political Kabuki?

went to the range yesterday with my CZ-P09 and Winchester Ranger 120. I had owned both for almost a year and a year and half respectively and this was the first time i actually got to go out and use them. Could only use slugs from the latter because of range rules but still had fun. Both shoot very well and my aim is not terribly horrendous, although I do find it hard not just rapid fire as fast as I can, it's fun to do. Also might need more mags for my CZ because reloading the two 19-round mags it came with takes the fun out of the range, since you spend two minutes shooting and five minutes reloading. The RSO commented on how well my Winchester shoots slugs as well so I guess that's cool.

>>32137 Don't they make those 3D printed load assists/quick-loaders? It's not a perfect solution but I think it would reduce reloading time. I have one for my shield because I take care of my hands and it speeds up the process significantly.

>>32137 I haven't shot any of my guns since I unloaded my Hawken's into the backstop at the end of deer season.

Ahem, I would like to formally announce that I hate vatniggers. >t. half russian half ukrainian. Thank you for reading this post.

Are there any GOOD 3D printable guns out there? I've heard of the FGC-9 but im wondering if there is anything out there thats even cheaper, simpler and easier to produce like a 3D printed sten or a shotgun. How do i get into gun design anyways? I see that there is a space out there for 3D printed guns that could be improved upon. Or would it be better to ditch 3D printing and go for building a DIY sten gun?

>>32243 Depends on what kind of a gun you want and for what purpose. Inn general, if you want make something more potent than a .22 LR revolver from scratch, then it's hard to beat a slamfire shotgun. If you can make a STEN, then you don't really need 3D printing to make a gun, although you can use it to add various parts to improve the handling, but a fancy foregrip does not turn a tube into a gun.

>>32248 >for what purpose To kill feds obviously, need a gun that works 100% of the time, doesn't need much maintainence to keep it working and can accept common ammunition types. I need to arm a militia of men to commit acts of terror on this unjust jewish society, only through an armed struggle will we achieve total victory over the jew

>>32243 I was going to mention some resources and good knowledge to have, but according to >>32249 I'm talking to a jokester so it would be lost on you anyways.

>>32250 >jokester Killing feds ain't no joke boy, we finna out here murking niggas DAILY >i was going to do X but Y happened Either do it or do not do it, advertising how much you sniff your own farts will get you nowhere

I really hate 9mm and the people who shill it. I slightly less hate all the morons who just bought 9mm guns "because 9mm is popular again." I also hate how everything is plastic now. You can't even find a wood and steel fucking bolt action. And it's not just 9mm. Rifle rounds are getting gayer and weaker too. The only magnums available anymore is the 300 Win and maybe sometimes the 7mm rem mag. Look at what CZ recently did to their catalogue. No more magnums and all their old bolt actions are replaced with a single "modular" system riding on an ALUMINUM receiver. Just as society gets gayer and more liberal, so do guns. Gay, weak, soy guns, that's what they are now.

>>32253 Can you give me more buzzwords? This word salad isn't spicy enough.

>>32253 I own 9mm because it is cheap and fun to shoot. I also recognize that there are better rounds for taking down meth heads. I like plastic because it makes guns cheaper even though wood/steel can be nice too and should still have a niche market. No comment on rifle rounds. Aluminum isn't really that bad. It's not like we're dealing with tin can aluminum- it's proper stock aluminum which is tougher without being brittle like steel.

>>32253 Go back to arfcom.

>>32253 >I also hate how everything is plastic now. So do I but good news for us is that plastics are about to get sent back out to the nigger shed because of environmental reasons. Some genuine, some for faddish pop culture reasons. Even some companies are transitioning back to to glass containers.

>>32261 I'm sure skyrocketing oil prices aren't helping.

>>32262 That's part of it too. Plastics are becoming more and more expensive where as glass is dirt cheap. Almost literally dirt cheap in fact. My local county dump/recycling center admitted to me that, despite county or state technically requiring glass to be separated out and put into recycling bins, that the county can't actually make any money on recycling glass. Turns out they've just been grinding it up into dust and mixing it in with the gravel and putting it on old back roads or something like that.

>>32264 >Almost literally dirt cheap I mean it's mostly just silica, the most expensive part of the glass making process is probably buying the molds for your containers.

>>32257 Under no circumstance is aluminum stronger or tougher than steel. The reason why it is being used by CZ is because it is cheap. The AR can use aluminum and get away with it because the round it is shooting, the 5.56 does not place an inordinate amount of stress on the rifle, so they can use something weaker. >>32256 go fuck yourself >>32260 go fuck yourself

>>32308 What metals are as strong as steal? Or close to? I'm not really an expert in metallurgy. Aren't platinum group metals fairly strong? Lets say that you are obscenely rich or that you live on the moon, could you mill parts out of of them and it work fine?

>>32308 >Under no circumstance is aluminum stronger or tougher than steel. Well yes, I didn't make that claim. I said aluminum is less brittle than steel. I don't disagree with you, I'm saying aluminum can take more of a long-term beating because of that ductility and more easy thermal conductivity to dissipate heat (preventing heat-memory issues that affect longevity) while being a cheaper and significantly lighter metal. Each has its advantage. A gun that is used on occasion over many years is better made of steel since it is easier to preserve, while a gun used semi-frequently where weight and cost is a bigger factor is better made of aluminum. >>32310 >What metals are as strong as steel? It's a loaded question because it depends on what properties you want out of the metal. >Lets say that you are obscenely rich Invest in treated wood where the lignin has been removed and the remaining material compressed. https://archive.ph/dZvVS

Forgot my picture.

>>32308 Mmmm nah I'll remain not self-fucked and still call you a meme spouting niggerfaggot.

>>32311 >Well yes, I didn't make that claim. I said aluminum is less brittle than steel. I don't disagree with you, I'm saying aluminum can take more of a long-term beating because of that ductility and more easy thermal conductivity to dissipate heat (preventing heat-memory issues that affect longevity) while being a cheaper and significantly lighter metal. Each has its advantage. A gun that is used on occasion over many years is better made of steel since it is easier to preserve, while a gun used semi-frequently where weight and cost is a bigger factor is better made of aluminum. What's the material fatigue comparison between aluminum and steel?

>>32318 Depends on how well-machine it is. Polished aluminum is comparable to steel while milled aluminum will break down faster since impurities are affected exponentially by its malleability. Aluminum however is extremely corrosion-resistant while steel corrodes easily. Aluminum makes a better field gun for armies and recreational shooters while steel makes a better heirloom gun for home defense or passing down to your children who won't take care of it thus ruining the gun.

>>32311 NO Do you know what happens when aluminum conducts heat? Because as you correctly acknowledge, aluminum IS a better conductor of heat than steel, that means aluminum SWELLS more as it gets hotter than does steel. Guess what happens to an alloy if it is constantly moving back and forth? It cracks or warps, or you get weak spots and have catastrophic failure. This is why aluminum car engine blocks are known for cracking after many miles whereas cast iron or forged steel blocks of similar usage do NOT. It is why turbo charged (i.e. even hotter) 4 cylinder engines use cast iron or forged steel blocks, because of the tremendous heat those engines generate would flex the aluminum to death. It is why heavy duty truck engines have cast iron blocks. Steel is not inherently "brittle," it all depends on tempering and composition. If you want steel to be very hard, like with knife blades, then you increase the carbon and temper it very hot and hard. Then it will be brittle. If you want steel to be very tough then you lower the carbon and temper it accordingly. Steel has a far greater potential of application than aluminum because of this compositional variability. But steel is more expensive, and because the gun industry and hunting in general are declining, the manufacturers are resorting to using cheap shit in their guns, like aluminum and plastic. Plastic on something not explicitly tactical like an AR is plain soy. But I would expect nothing less from Zoomers. The Zoomer generation should be genocided. I don't trust anyone who would not use a magnum to hunt with. You're automatically a pussy in my book. "Glock" and the pencil neck nerd faggot obsession with "efficiency" and cost cutting has been a disaster for guns. No more manliness, just nerdy pussies with pussy caliber in gay soy plastic aluminum guns.

>>32322 >aluminum is a better field gun You do realize that aluminum receiver guns for military usage over the past century are in the minority right? And that the AR again is only able to get by with aluminum is because it shoots a low energy round, thus placing a minimum amount of stress on the rifle. You're just a pussy. I mean that's just it. You're a pussy, soy gurgling nerdy faggot.

>>32264 >>32261 Speaking of plastic, apparently Bloomberg decided to put some GPS trackers inside bags to be "recycled." Surprisingly it didn't end up in a landfill in India. One got incinerated in Poland to power a cement facility and the other got illegally dumped in an open-air landfill in Turkey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmGrI_BVlnc https://invidious-us.kavin.rocks/watch?v=hmGrI_BVlnc

>>32323 >>32324 I still need more buzzwords trannyfren.

>>32323 >I don't trust anyone who would not use a magnum to hunt with. Do Short Magnums count? The factory offerings are underwhelming but the hand loads can keep up with their belted counterparts. The advantages of having a shorter action aren't that tremendous but things like re-chambering one of those scout rifles into 35 Sambar become possible.

Are there any machine guns that take are deliberately designed for suppression?

>>32379 Basically all machine guns?

>>32379 No I don't think so

>>32379 Assuming from "take" and the alternative being stupid that you mean suppression in the context of sound reduction and not morale: Define machine gun and define deliberately designed. By the US legal definition of machine gun: Absolutely. Shit ton of SMGs have unremovable suppressors. Outside of SMGs, there was that marine experiment to give everything a suppressor.

>>32308 >>32323 Is Tungsten a meme for handheld firearms?

>>32403 The point of tungsten is that it's very dense and hard, so it can work as a penetrator in projectiles. But it's far too expensive for small arms, or more like it's a limited strategic resource that would be wasted on them. If you mean making receivers and whatnot out of tungsten, that's just plain retarded. You might use a steel that has a bit of tungsten in it, but that's a different thing entirely.

>game lets you promise to kill ATF >doesn't feature any ATF to kill What a shame.

>>32080 >same weebs with same sleep schedule and pictures who spam cuc/k/ and the webring are still shitting this board up So is this some kind of cope by non-mutts who can't own an MSR? Just try and spam the discussion of people who own what you'll never have?

>>32424 I have no clue what you're talking about but I would be happy to help if it's not all in your head and there's an actual problem.

>>32426 Weebs like you who shit up every /k/ instead of fucking off back to /r/anime or the /a/ janny infested cuckchannel /k/. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then don't worry.

>>32427 I hate people like you. If your don't like otakus on an imageboard, then you shouldn't go to imageboards.

>>32427 Afraid I can't help you there buddy, but take it easy.

>>32411 >If you mean making receivers and whatnot out of tungsten, that's just plain retarded. You might use a steel that has a bit of tungsten in it, but that's a different thing entirely. >he doesn't want his receivers to be milled out of pure Neptunium OK gramps.

>>32429 >DAE EVERY BOARD IS ANIME Then why are you on a weapons board? I wanna say nigger and talk about guns, not post about little girl cartoons. >>32431 Shit troll is shit

>>32432 The big issue with tungsten is the amount of work that needs to go into it. In a polycrystalline state it makes for a super brittle metal that's too hard to work with. As a part of an alloy for another metal the brittleness factor doesn't go away but it can add hardness to other things. You would need a monocrystalline piece of tungsten stock to make a good receiver and that can get very, very expensive since you're talking high-purity tungsten at that point.

>>32424 >>32427 >>32433 Go back to cuckchan, you schizophrenic faggot. Nobody wants you here and no one invited you either. >>32426 >>32429 >>32431 Just report and hide the avatarfagging retard's posts.

If you don't like anime, you don't belong on imageboards. Simple as. >altchan Just go the fuck back to kikechan already, niggerfaggot. >God I miss 8/k/ What nationality was the BO and the vol, hmmm?

>>32438 Those faggots are coming from the constant advertising of the webring the /monster/fags do on kikechan, discord, and twitter.

>>32453 That sounds more of a /cow/kike, or shittedchan, or Gayhoole and his faggot cronies from tvch would do. From what I remember, one of those three cancers bought ads in order to fuck over the rest of the webringa while back. If anything, /monster/ has a strict gatekeeping rule.

Do you understand the concept of topic based boards or has anime rotted your brain to below room temperature IQ by now? >>>/a/ - Anime & Manga >>>/k/ - Weapons, Combat, Outdoorsmanship

>>32468 You're arguing against the use of anime images, not discussing anime. Anime reaction images have gone hand-in-hand with imageboards for years outside of a few braindead retards who ran political boards. It's one thing to dislike the content, but do you not respect the culture of your predecessors?

>>32455 The drawfags on /monster/ openly shill the webring on kikechan and no amount of "no u" and samefagging will change that fact. They are open about it with the board staff there and say they don't care if the kikechan horde ruins the webring.

>>32472 >>32455 Does it really matter? Anon has a right to his opinion regardless of where he is from. Judge not by anon's internet history but by the quality of his posts and humor.

>>32468 >Anime is not inherent to the imageboard format. >being this new You sure you're not a woman? If so, Tits or GTFO.

>>32471 >do you not respect the culture of your predecessors? I respect the anonymous aspect for instance. I didn't give a shit about imageboards in the Y2K era when it was nothing but weebs, when it branched to other areas of interest I would participate, in short I don't see them as predecessors. Nothing against anime reaction images as long as they at least pretend to fit the topic, trouble is more often than not those posters are just obligatory attention whores using anime pics as bait for shitposting.

>>32476 >Tits or GTFO. fuck

>>32481 >didn't even timestamp <<<OUT

>>32464 I'm guessing its very likely a /tv/nigger or a /cow/ard crossposter too, as the two seem to correlate with each other. I'd like to add in that I noticed from my own perspective on how they've been getting uppity not only on /k/ but on other webring boards too, very quite recently. >>32468 >Anime is not inherent to the imageboard format. >not knowing what the "k" in /k/ stands for wew >>32472 >the drawfags at /monster/ openly shill the webring citation needed >no amount of "no u" and samefagging Show me where I was "no u"ing or samefagging like you claim. >if i say it then it must be true Show me on the doll where /monster/ touched you.

Alec Baldwin here: reminder that the dumb bitch killed herself.

>>35290 >Implying they didn't There's a reason the Germ PoWs are defined as "detained enemy forces" instead of prisoners of war, and it has to do with that little thing called the "Geneva Convention." America murdered about one million German soldiers post-war via starvation and torture because they "weren't prisoners of war."

>>35357 >unironically citing Bacque Your "source" has all the credibility of the average Holocaust scholar.

>>35411 Bacque was established by official human rights societies to have done his due diligence in research. While the conclusions he came to were ruled out (that it was malicious deliberate action), however the act of systematically killing German PoWs via incompetence was ruled to be factual. I am not going to claim a science fiction novelist is the poster child of sources but you are focusing on the credentials of the amateur historian rather than the merit of his argument.

>>35413 I didn't say a thing about his credentials. I'm saying that he intentionally misreads documents, cherrypicks quotes (including some of the worst ellipsis abuse I've ever seen in a serious work) and occasionally lies outright in the face of obviously contradictory evidence. His claims also run into basic logistical obstacles (where are the bodies?) and there's a conspicuous lack of actual witnesses to this alleged mass death. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

What do we think about the M5?

>>35482 Choosing the ammo and the gun together was a mistake. The plastic-cased stuff that works with every 7.62 NATO weapon after a barrel change makes much more sense that the stuff this thing fires. As for the rifle itself, it's a scaled-up AR-18 disguised as an AR-10, and that would be fine, except that this thing needs way too much machining for what it is. A simpler receiver with a significantly simpler forend would house the action just as well. And it still has a fucking forward assist, holy shit.

>>35482 >the M5 is really a modified version of a previous design that sig tried to hawk >the weight of the rifle with optic, suppressor, & loaded mag is 14 pounds (~6.4 kilos) >two different kinds of ammo, a training round and full pressure >training round is around 2600 fps out of the M5 giving entirely different recoil and ballistic profiles >due to cost the full pressure round likely won't be available until actual combat The full power version of the cartridge is close to .270 WSM / 7mm mag out of a 13 inch barrel which is impressive but recoil is brutal. The AR design also feels wrong for this cartridge; this new cartridge should have a dedicated platform to help tame recoil.

>>35213 So we locked up all the jap civilians we could find but didn't bother imprisoning enemy combatants in the theater of war? Boomers are a goddamned blight.

>>35499 >recoil is brutal Really? The guys who tested the thing I know of all thought the recoil was negligible. Their big complaint wasn't the recoil, their complaint was, and I quote: "If I'm going to be carrying 15lbs of brick, I'd rather be carrying an AR10."

>>35510 >The guys who tested the thing I know of But which ammo were they using? Was it the training loads, the commercial hunting loads, or the full combat loads?

I had a trippy dream and when I woke up my only thought was that hi-point 9mm carbines are kinda cool. But whats the point? Does the longer barrel really improve the potential of the round so much? And why have stock? Wouldnt it be best if it was just pistol grip and you could still fit it on your hip, though awkwardly? I doubt recoill would be such a problem. Too bad I am in noguns country.

>>35585 >But whats the point? It's a cheap blowback gun. >Does the longer barrel really improve the potential of the round so much? Yes. >And why have stock? Because it's a whole lot easier to aim if the gun connects to your body at three points. >Wouldnt it be best if it was just pistol grip and you could still fit it on your hip, though awkwardly? No, that's retarded. They did that with SMGs around the 1950s, but even that is out of fashion. It's much better to actually aim.

Going to be setting up a helmet for a pvs14. Plan to use it for night shooting, exploring tunnels, defending my basement, etc. Should I just go with a bump or do I need a rated helmet?

>>35589 Night walks are much better with a nightcap. The biggest negative is slow deployment. You pretty much have to adjust it every time you slip it on. Speaking to armor in general, I figure in a home invasion I'll be lucky if I'm wearing pants much less donning armor so I made a rolling ballistic shield with a chinkshit hand cart and some ar500 targets. It's dual purpose - niggers kept stealing my range steel so I had to haul it out every trip then inspiration struck me. I just park it by the bedroom door and try to keep it painted so I'm not breathing in lead dust.

>>35596 What’s your logic behind the cap? Wouldn’t. A dedicated helmet be more efficient? Could throw earpro on there as well. I’d like to see your rolling cart if you have a picture of it. I’ve been thinking of something similar as a “fake” door to my neighbors basement. I’m right at their wall now, but don’t want to risk being discovered.

>>35596 based niggerrigger-sama >>35599 >“fake” door to my neighbors basement. I’m right at their wall now, but don’t want to risk being discovered. oh wait what? Nigga, are you planning on mouse-holing into your neighbors' place if the FAT comes for your pup?

>>35722 Well shit I missed the memo

>>35587 Wouldnt it be fired just like pistol then though? And if barrel length matters so much why not use for pistols in the first place a round designed to have maximum performance from the barrel lenghts used normally in pistols?

>>35713 See: >>35722 >Left after one of Robi's normalfag friends went on a moralfag crusade against loli This is noted by many as perhaps the most controversial thing that happened since the fall of 8ch, mainly because many saw it from different angles and have different opinions towards what really happened, the sure thing is that many boards, sites and even small niches sometimes antagonize each other after the consequences of said occurrence which included forced move outs, disappearance of hosted boards (due to Julay rebranding itself) and so on. So if you want to guess what was the biggest happening since the fall then, in terms of direct influence towards us, it was probably that one. Anon Cafe for example grew a lot in activity because many boards from there moved here, this site was akin in activity and number to what ALog (formerly Julay) is now although the focus was artistic/creative back then. Nowadays we are in a thin line between tense stagnation and optimistic comfort zone, i would say enjoy it while you can.

>>35732 >Wouldnt it be fired just like pistol then though? No, it's too big for that. >And if barrel length matters so much why not use for pistols in the first place a round designed to have maximum performance from the barrel lenghts used normally in pistols? More powder means more burning gases means more pressure, and that makes the boolit go faster, even if this still high pressure has just escapes the barrel and dissipates. If you then use a longer barrel, then the gas has more time to push the boolit, even as its pressure goes down, and so you get a faster boolit. In other words, using more powder with the same barrel length leads to higher performance, and so does using a longer barrel with the same powder charge. Pistols are simply inherently limited by the fact and they have to be compact enough to be used with one hand, and so your only realistic option is to use more powder, because the barrel can be only so long. But then you can still get something with a longer barrel and fire the same cartridge for higher performance.

>>35711 Lel, you sound like I felt after Corona-chan pulled me back to the surface after over half a decade of running silent and deep. tl;dr is everything's fucked and "dead internet" is real jews btw

>>35741 >Spoiler I'm not particularly tribal about where anons come from so long as they aren't acting like cancer, so welcome nonetheless to this little pocket of chaos/refuge.

>>35482 >>35485 >>35499 I have a feeling no one will ever see those extra spicy AP rounds, even in theater. Going for the velocity that turns steel to butter with your service rifle and ball ammo doesn't sound like good Idea. I have a better idea, just chambered a 20 inch, 1:7.5 twist barrel AR-10 in .260 Rem. Top the round with a projectile of similar shape to 6.5mm ELD-X bullet but it's light weight for it's length because it's copper with a tungsten penetrator in the ass end. It should tumble in soft tissue but still punch through a reasonable amount of cover. A receiver mounted, free float, M-Lok fore-end, including a bayonet mount would be nice too.

>During Napoleon's reign, 1 in 4 Europeans were of French descent >Afterwards 1 in 5 were still of French descent up until WWI >The only countries with more people living inside of them than France during the 1700s were China, India, and Japan >France STILL hasn't recovered their WWI population sizes (relative to the rest of Europe) to this day >France is basically the case-study for the global phenomena of urban shift in conjunction with depopulation You know I thought Frog history would be kinda boring but this is quite fascinating to discover. I always thought of France as that one country with a big military who is completely irrelevant outside of cooking, cosmetics, their navy, and wine ever since Napoleon got his shit kicked in by the Russians.

>>35789 Wait, I recall that France still held a lot more ethnic French on their borders even after WWI, at the very least up until WWII.

>>35742 Based BO is based. I'll try not to shit the place up. >>35774 >light weight for it's length because it's copper with a tungsten penetrator in the ass end I might be a fucking brainlet, but this sounds like it might compromise accuracy somewhat at longer ranges. Or would the spin-stabilization keep that in check?

>>35825 There is definitely a point where the velocity and spin and center of gravity all break down and the projectile tumbles in air but there is a large gap where it is stable in air but tumbles in meat. My general concept is to copy the high BC shape of a 140+ gr 6.5mm target bullet, that is stable at 7.5 twist, with lighter materials to increase velocity and a hardened bit for penetration. If things balance out you could have a projectile that fragments from tumbling around when it stops fragmenting from velocity along with the ability to penetrate at range because of the hardened core material and retained velocity from the sleek shape. It might not actually be possible but the best compromise is probably still better than .270win++P, at least from a long term logistics perspective. I have the Sierra Infinity program that I never installed but aside from that I can't really develop the idea any further.

>>35774 >>35825 >>35852 You could always calculate it. https://shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php Obviously the nitty gritty stuff like weight distribution would require a physics simulator, but you could measure the other stuff. Maybe it's just how my intuition is framing the physics problem, but wouldn't the moment of inertia be off-balance by having the center of mass distributed towards the back instead of towards the front when moving forward in air? Spin would partially adjust for this by generating forward momentum I guess since it's still "uniform" along the length of the ammunition (just not the width), but I feel like it would start tumbling much, much sooner than standard ammunition of a comparable mass. Plus on impact, human bodies (or at least the blood/tissues containing blood) act as a non-Newtonian fluid so you need mass in the front for the initial penetration, since the faster the round is on impact, the more resistance is generated towards the impact. I guess my concern is that the copper would "crumble" resulting in less of a wound channel and more of a blunt force trauma impact.

>>35857 > wouldn't the moment of inertia be off-balance by having the center of mass distributed towards the back instead of towards the front when moving forward in air? All pointy bullets overcome this problem, they are inherently unstable. Adjusting where the heavy mass is in the bullet to the velocity and spin rate could let you determine under what conditions it upsets and starts tumbling, maybe. That's a nice calculator. I've been using the Vortex Optics one, I like I's charts.

>>35852 Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining; I'm definitely not a ballisticsfag, but that's pretty interesting.

So is SCOTUS going to do their job and issue a second ruling on red flag laws being unconstitutional without a court case (they were ruled unconstitutional unanimously 9-0 last year), or are they going to pretend that there is a case to be had and let establishment-run districts disarm all of their political opponents before coming to a ruling two years later while not even getting people's guns returned (or even better, sweeping last year's ruling under the rug)? They aren't required to hear a court case to issue a ruling on legislation being passed if they consider it egregious enough. IF SCOTUS does their job for the first time in 50 years (that's a big "if"), will it be the start of a new FDR legal war FDR was constantly fighting with SCOTUS who would issue same-day rulings that his socialist shit was unconstitutional, or will it be national divorce when blue states refuse to acknowledge the Supreme Court ruling? After watching all these fucking protestors getting away with felonies because the FBI won't prosecute them and the states legally can't (it is a felony to protest outside ANY judge's house), and having legitimate assassination attempts (Kavanaugh had a legitimate assassination attempt that made it to the justice's property; he was only thwarted by realizing he couldn't run away from cops leading to him turning himself in to try and get a lesser sentence) over an abortion ruling that hasn't even been officialized yet, I think whoever leaked the documents is a snitch for the FBI. Whistleblowers have come out stating the obvious about the FBI purging conservatives from their ranks for being "disloyal" to the institution, and the FBI is explicitly NOT protecting federal judges despite that being one of the few things that DO fall under their jurisdiction instead of the Marshal Service.

>>35863 No. A baste federal judge should slap the first instance of it down because of the prior ruling though. But blue states don't care and will still use it. Everyone's going to try to kiss up to their boss which is whoever is telling biden what to do and the public in the local state of whatever judge you're worried about. Public perception drives a lot of how far judges are willing to go.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN: Chinese Military Document Leaks on War Thunder Game Forum >A fan of the video game War Thunder, the free-to-play vehicle combat simulator, has leaked classified Chinese military documents on the game’s online forum. According to defense analysts, while the details of the anti-tank weapon in question were previously known, this is the first time that authenticating documentation has been seen outside of China. How do we know the documents are authentic? Well, they’re pictured next to the weapon itself. >The weapon in question is the DTC10-125, an anti-tank round fielded by the modern-day Chinese military. Also known as a kinetic energy penetrator, its job is to punch through metal and breach the internal compartments of a tank and knock it out of action. As such, its capabilities are a closely guarded secret. Or at least they were until someone on the War Thunder forums got into an argument and needed to prove a point. >The information was quickly removed from the forums, but it is still available online. Polygon has viewed the original image and can confirm it’s quite a comprehensive photo, and includes an annotated diagram of the munition itself as well as its casing, called a sabot. >UK Defense Journal, a volunteer organization that covers issues related to militaries around the world, reports that while the specifications of the DTC10-125 were previously revealed online in multiple locations, this leak appears to confirm them with official government documentation. They also claim that the photo includes a close-up image of the weapon, lending additional credence to its authenticity. >This is not the first time that classified information on modern-day weapons systems was leaked on the War Thunder forums. In July 2021, details of the United Kingdom’s Challenger 2 main battle tank were leaked, and then in December particulars of the French Leclerc main battle tank also ended up online. >War Thunder is not the only simulation game to suffer from these types of incidents. In 2019 an employee of flight simulation developer Eagle Dynamics was indicted on charges of conspiracy and smuggling for allegedly attempting to have someone inside the United States purchase manuals for the F-16 on eBay and then send them overseas for analysis. https://web.archive.org/web/20220609152637/https://www.polygon.com/23152203/war-thunder-chinese-tank-weapon-leak-classified-military-secrets-forum

>>35903 Oh thank goodness. I thought it was a Chinese PsyOp last time (China owns Gaijin Entertainment; forced them to move to Belarus in response to anti-Chinese sentiment in Hungary and funds most of their operations). If China themselves are getting documents leaked then it's just autism and not a concerted effort.

>>35904 >forced them to move to Belarus in response to anti-Chinese sentiment in Hungary and funds most of their operations I take the anti-chink sentiment is the Fudan University debacle, but did they really move away from Hungary? I remember some news about World of Tanks putting all the Russians and Belorussians into a separate server to avoid potential future problems, so it's a bit strange that their main competitor would move to Belarus of all places.

I have a plan to deal with the mangy raccoons that live under my shed. Traps, poison, and gas bombs are not an option because of pets, the neighbors don't care if I shoot varmints. I'm going to set up a couple trail cams to study their numbers and habits. Once I know when the big mama comes and goes I'll set up an ambush by climbing up on the shed and watching her travel rout an hour before she returns, for maximum safe shooting angle and to avoid the shrubbery. The fuckers are smart and this will probably only work once if I don't get the big one. I mounted a NV scope on my old Marlin .22WMR, I know that will do the job but I've also had a silly idea. I have a B-Square saddle mount for my 12 gauge and that scope will mount right on there. 2-3/4" with 1-1/4oz of #4 shot out of the long barrel with the turkey choke should cause some carnage at less than 10 yards.

>>36674 Wouldn't it be easier to bait a trap and camp at a good angle to take them out when they show up? Obviously a little stalking will help so you can bait a trap along their pathway, but racoons have preferences over eating trash and you can just leave out some leftovers or something.

>>36685 The good angle is the problem, I can't cover the shed from the bathroom window anymore because of vegetation. Bait might help but the big ones don't get big by being stupid. I have some recordings, let's see if I can operate HandBrake. This is a zero confirmation that includes correcting a failure to eject. The scope base covers too much of the ejection port. Dremel work is required.

Every branch of the military is struggling to make its 2022 recruiting goals, officials say With a record low number of Americans eligible to serve, and few of those willing to do it, this "is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force,” said an expert. https://archive.is/iOEbt >Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goals, say multiple U.S. military and defense officials, and numbers obtained show both a record low percentage of young Americans eligible to serve and an even tinier fraction willing to consider it. >The officials said the Pentagon’s top leaders are now scrambling for ways to find new recruits to fill out the ranks of the all-volunteer force.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation, a think tank.

Spoehr said “2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.” >The pool of those eligible to join the military continues to shrink, with more young men and women than ever disqualified for obesity, drug use or criminal records.

James McConville testified before Congress that only 23% of Americans ages 17-24 are qualified to serve without a waiver to join, down from 29% in recent years. >An internal Defense Department survey obtained found that only 9% of those young Americans eligible to serve in the military had any inclination to do so, the lowest number since 2007. >The survey sheds light on how both Americans’ view of the military and the growing civilian-military divide may also be factors in slumping recruitment, and how public attitudes could cause recruiting struggles for years to come. >More than half of the young Americans who answered the survey — about 57% — think they would have emotional or psychological problems after serving in the military. Nearly half think they would have physical problems. >“They think they’re going to be physically or emotionally broken after serving,” said one senior U.S. military official >Among Americans surveyed by the Pentagon who were in the target age range for recruiting, only 13% had parents who had served in the military, down from approximately 40% in 1995. >Overall confidence in U.S. government institutions is also decreasing, and that has hit the U.S. military as well. In 2021 the annual Reagan National Defense Survey, conducted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, found that just 45% of Americans had a great deal of trust and confidence in the military, down 25 points since 2018. >In 2021, an Army study found that 75% of Americans ages 16-28 knew little to nothing about the Army. >The Army has met about 40% of its enlisted recruiting mission for FY22, with just over three months left in the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The final quarter — the summer — is typically when the services recruit the most candidates following high school graduation. >Space Force will also likely make its goal, according to U.S. military officials, but as the newest branch of the military it only looks to recruit about 500 Guardians this fiscal year. >The U.S. Air Force, on the other hand, has to recruit roughly 100 times as many airmen, about 50,000, but is currently more than 4,000 below where it should be at this point in the fiscal year. While the Air National Guard and Reserve are unlikely to meet their goals, the active duty are taking it week to week, according to a senior U.S. military official. “We are hopeful that the active duty will meet their goal. Hopeful, but not certain,” the official said. >The last time the Air Force missed its goal was fiscal 1999, and the last time before that was 1979. >Navy officials, who have been using the summer movie “Top Gun: Maverick” to try to attract recruits, say they hope to ultimately meet their active-duty and overall strength goals. >The active-duty Marine Corps is likely to make its recruiting goals this year. The Marine in charge of manpower, however, recently told Congress that 2022 is “arguably the most challenging recruiting year since the inception of the all-volunteer force.” >The Coast Guard is lagging behind its active-duty numbers for the year. It has met 80% and 93% of its goals for reserves and officers respectively, but has filled only about 55% of its target of 4,200 active-duty enlistments. >To tackle the growing crisis, the Pentagon is reviewing some of the more than 250 disqualifiers for service, including some medical conditions that have historically required recruits to obtain a waiver for service or kept individuals out of uniform completely >The military is also discussing allowing service members to use platforms like TikTok to attract recruits. In 2020, President Donald Trump ordered a ban on the use of the social media platform because the Chinese company that owns it collects biometric information on users. >Another challenge has been political pressure in some school districts not to let recruiters on campuses >Some of the service branches are offering unprecedented bonuses for signing up or re-enlisting, up to $50,000 for certain specialties in the Army, Air Force and the Navy. >But one U.S. military official said bonuses can only help so much. “We can throw money at the problem all we want, but until we change how young people see us in uniform, we are going to struggle to get them to raise their right hands.” >The Pentagon may also put more effort into recruiting eligible DACA recipients, said officials. >A Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment. It's really simple. Provide veterans with REAL mental help that doesn't take away their gun rights, get rid of the vaccine mandates, and stop getting involved in foreign wars America has no business in if you want people to serve their fucking country. I ended up trashing plans to join the military (for college because I'm a poorfag- not that it matters since the colleges all have vaccine mandates as well) too after the Biden administration swept in and started all this fucking bullshit. An In-Depth Look at the Military Recruitment Crisis https://archive.is/31vY3 >In April of 2022, recruitment bonuses for U.S. military members reached an all-time high. The Army and Navy are both offering $50,000 enlistment bonuses! If that doesn’t draw new recruits, then it’s hard to imagine what will. Rest of it is propaganda from the military mouthpiece trying to avoid the Chink Flu question, but I thought the fact that they can offer those kinds of sign-on bonuses and still not get recruits was pretty great.

did epstein really suicide why did he fall in the first place did he really get busted? wouldnt his globalist handlers have protected him? to me it seems more likely that he pissed off one of the wrong globalists, and that his fall was approved of by their circle

>>36897 >did epstein really suicide No. Even normalfags know that's a crock of shit. >why did he fall in the first place He wasn't popular enough so the progressive elite thought they could throw him under the bus as a sacrificial lamb. He was a low man on the totem pole. >did he really get busted? Yes. >Wouldnt his globalist handlers have protected him? It was too obvious and they had to get rid of someone so the crimes were pinned on him. Why do you think Bill Gates was so gleeful about him being dead? >It was a fall from grace The only fall from grace was that he was gonna expose the others. Ghislaine is on "suicide watch" despite not being suicidal for the exact same reason after a different prisoner in her cell block tried to take her life and admitted she was offered time off her sentence and a large sum of cash from an anonymous source. They're just desperate to make sure it's never exposed. Why do you think a client list didn't come out during the Ghislaine case despite her being the matron who acquired the whores for her clients, FBI-kun?

>>36897 >did epstein really suicide Yes, obviously. You're a genuine retard if you think otherwise. >why did he fall in the first place He was pretty much fully in the public eye. >did he really get busted? Yes >wouldnt his globalist handlers have protected him? He was the designated fallguy, that was the whole point of having him in the first place >to me it seems more likely that he pissed off one of the wrong globalists, and that his fall was approved of by their circle It was his job to create the blackmail, and to take the fall when the blackmail came into the public eye (so that the blackmail would remain intact but the other ends wouldn't catch the fall at that time). It became time for someone to take the fall, so he did his job. Naturally, he was allowed to commit suicide rather than face indefinite internment.

>>36900 >Yes, obviously. Just like when they found marks around his neck a month earlier facing the wrong way it was totally him trying to choke himself to death, right?

>>36900 he didnt even need to die. they could have moved him to another isolated place, underground, or given him plastic surgery

ps im not a fed but this faggot >>36900 obviously is

>>36900 How is it going, G-Man ex-BO

>>36913 That's right. Even if they designate a fall guy they probably wouldn't just fuck over their own. That would completely disincentivize loyalty.

>>36898 >>36919 They would kill him if they can't hold him in their custody because he might confess, or if he angered the wrong people. In either case it's all a show and powerful child rapists are still being protected by globalists and compromised intelligence agencies.

Is optics bridging a meme? Also some critique on my rifle would be nice

>>36963 It comes across as a great idea but it's very much a compromise. If you're actively using the magnification all the time it's worse than a more dedicated optic but if you can flip the magnifier to the side it has its merits.

>>36963 Other anon pretty much handled the bridging, so I’ll provide some critique. More details would be appreciated. >flip-ups These are redundant and you have a goddam traffic jam under that magnifier >m68/comp m4/m5 Move that back fully onto the receiver. Lose the rear flip-up. >rear flip-up screw Stripped the fuck outta it >that grip Why? >rail section Why is that bottom rail section there? Part of the rail, dreams of a bipod, or neglected plans? >mag release button Looks like it needs to be turned out one rotation. Could be lighting. >triggerguard Wtf is going there my dude? Looks misaligned and I can’t tell if it’s the front or rear. Who made it? >>36963 >>36963

>>36963 Forgot to add… >gas system What the in the Florida hell is going on there? >light Where’s your light?

Do you guys think something will happen in regards to gun laws after the shooting in Illinois?

>>35926 It's always amusing how much shit they get wrong.

>>36963 Not gonna nitpick on what it is you have going on too hard as I think most of it isn't too bad. What glares at me though. >break I'm guessing this is in 308. If not the break is overkill. Would've just invested in a supressor. >foregrip If the break is doing what it's supposed to the foregrip is redundant. You should've justify having it there to better manipulate the muzzle while moving either as thats what muscles are for and if it's too heavy thats what slings are fore. The price to pay when dealing with full length rifles. >rails Too many. How much shit do you really plan on sticking to the top one? >Reddot+in-line magnifier Is this some repurposed gear? Thatld make more sense to me than thinking you bought these over a variable optic which this rifle looks better suited for.

Alleged Chinese police database breach leaks data of 1 billion >A hacker has claimed to have procured a trove of personal information from the Shanghai police on one billion Chinese citizens, which tech experts say, if true, would be one of the biggest data breaches in history. >The anonymous internet user, identified as "ChinaDan", posted on hacker forum Breach Forums last week offering to sell the more than 23 terabytes (TB) of data for 10 bitcoin , equivalent to about $200,000. >"In 2022, the Shanghai National Police (SHGA) database was leaked. This database contains many TB of data and information on Billions of Chinese citizen," the post said. >"Databases contain information on 1 Billion Chinese national residents and several billion case records, including: name, address, birthplace, national ID number, mobile number, all crime/case details." >The Shanghai government and police department did not respond to requests for comment on Monday. >Reuters was also unable to reach the self-proclaimed hacker, ChinaDan, but the post was widely discussed on China's Weibo and WeChat social media platforms over the weekend with many users worried it could be real. >The hashtag "data leak" was blocked on Weibo by Sunday afternoon. >Kendra Schaefer, head of tech policy research at Beijing-based consultancy Trivium China, said in a post on Twitter it was "hard to parse truth from rumour mill". >If the material the hacker claimed to have came from the Ministry of Public Security, it would be bad for "a number of reasons", Schaefer said. >"Most obviously it would be among biggest and worst breaches in history," she said. >Zhao Changpeng, CEO of Binance, said on Monday the cryptocurrency exchange had stepped up user verification processes after the exchange's threat intelligence detected the sale of records belonging to 1 billion residents of an Asian country on the dark web. >He said on Twitter that a leak could have happened due to "a bug in an Elastic Search deployment by a (government) agency", without saying if he was referring to the Shanghai police case. >He posted again on Twitter later in the day, saying: "apparently, this exploit happened because the gov developer wrote a tech blog on CSDN and accidentally included the credentials", referring to the China Software Developer Network. >Software company Elastic said it was incorrect to cite it as the source of the breach. The Shanghai government did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. >The claim of a hack comes as China has vowed to improve protection of online user data privacy, instructing its tech giants to ensure safer storage after public complaints about mismanagement and misuse. https://web.archive.org/web/20220706111535/https://www.reuters.com/world/china/hacker-claims-have-stolen-1-bln-records-chinese-citizens-police-2022-07-04/

can your disability check get garnished over unpaid medical wages? The appeal process for my mom's work insurance is fucking terrible and most laywers won't touch you until you done the internal appeal processes yourself and get denied twice by the insurance policy. I am wondering how long I could not pay shit before it becomes garnished. My medical debt has already been transferred to a 3rd party collections agency. I don't know if I should call medicaid instead or the insurance but nothing paid for and I am left paying out of pocket for everything. Trying figure what needs to fixed also so confusing because I know something in my paperwork isn't filled right but the customer service is filled with poos who are confusing to talk to.

>>37381 >can your disability check get garnished over unpaid medical wages? If it's supplemental disability they can legally garnish it. If it's SSDI or one's sole source or retirement income, then it is considered "judgement proof" in a court of law. I am not a lawyer.

my sister is visiting Taiwan in a while for work, is there anything she should absolutely know beforehand?

>>37804 Taiwan is very safe. I would say stick to common sense and not be wandering out late at night, but even then you’re probably fine. A little bit of Chinese language will help her, but not required. Be warned there is a lot of seafood, so be prepared for that. She should definitely find the nearest police officer, ask to be taken to 205, and then negotiate shipments of T65’s and T91’s into the USA. And also she should bring back much pineapple cake.

>>37810 I’m not the anon your talking to but how hard would it realistically be to buy old Soviet armor/equipment and just upgrade it I wonder how profitable a company can be if they buy something then upgrade it then resell it

Apparently 17 democrat lawmakers were arrested for protesting outside of SCOTUS. All 17 of them are establishment shills that are in bed with the deep state, so this fucking reeks of a GlowOp. They're pushing to add 4 Supreme Court justices to the bench. What the everloving fuck, this isn't even subtle, this was clearly staged.

Finally found the list: Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark of Massachusetts Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts Barbara Lee of California Jackie Speier of California Sara Jacobs of California Ilhan Omar of Minnesota Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey Andy Levin of Michigan Rashida Tlaib of Michigan Jan Schakowsky of Illinois Madeline Dean of Pennsylvania Cori Bush of Missouri Carolyn Maloney of New York Nydia Velazquez of New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York Alma Adams of North Carolina IIRC from past news I've read, every single one of those congressmembers are establishment shills.

>>37830 >Ilhan Omar >Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

>They're pushing to add 4 Supreme Court justices to the bench. Wut Why not just declare breathing illegal and then selectively enforce it? If you can fuck with the supreme court then separation of powers doesn't even exist as a concept, it's literally a declaration of civil war

feels like the past month and even the past week or so the lefties have gone into turbo overdrive pushing their bullshit. if this keeps up burgerland might collapse before the famine in October, if not then definitely after the demonrats get btfo in November for being incompetent fucks.

>>37837 >collapse before october I mean I can't say I know what it's like over there but that seems way too soon >lefties pretty sure deep state driven hyperinflation crosses party lines niggerino-kun >famine Literally how? In the cities there will be riots, sure, because stores won't be able to compete with the competitive prices of shipping food to europe during a real famine, but a (the biggest?) food exporter that primarily makes a staple grain (corn) isn't going to have an actual famine in it's own borders without some sort of ecological disaster. >>36915 Doesn't that make me the current BO, then?

>>37830 It turned out to be a larp

>>37835 They technically have the authority to do it. The constitution is fairly clear that there must be only one supreme court, but it does not state the number of seats and legal precedent is that congress has the right to legislate when a matter is not a state issue or enshrined in the constitution. Of course if they do that, Republicans would be stupid to not filibuster such a blatant power grab until they have a majority and can do it themselves. So given Republican's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, they will probably pass it. >>37837 Joe's numbers officially dipped below Trump's absolute worst numbers at the lowest in his presidency, and this last election due to low turnout they turned parents into a voting block over education (which backfired). States are starting to pass laws letting parents homeschool or have school choice, and leftists are continuing to sterilize their kids. Leftists don't have kids, they have yours, so this matters. E.G. America will look very Red in about 10-20 years if they don't clamp down on power right now since soon they won't be able to groom children. >>37838 Yeah I don't see it happening before November, but they're sure trying. >pretty sure deep state driven hyperinflation crosses party lines That's a cop-out, anon. Yes, we are living in a uniparty system, but one half of that party was usurped almost a decade ago and the fractures/faults are starting to show as populists beat out the liberal elite within the Red half of the party, and those populist elements are most definitely not lefties and are not funding the inflation. They are also beating their opponents so hard in the primaries that lawfare from both half of the uniparty is being used against them. >Literally how? They just passed a bill saying they'll back a first-strike by Israel into Iran to "prevent the creation of nukes" which would spark $20/gallon gas. At $20/gallon gas when the feds are subsidizing exporting oil and grain instead of keeping it domestic, you will get small-scale famines. Albeit mostly in the cities. >>37857 Unironically this is disinformation. Yes, the cuffing part was staged, however they were formally arrested. Processed or charged is another story and I haven't seen further coverage, but they were (legally speaking) arrested.

>>37870 >Unironically this is disinformation. Yes, the cuffing part was staged, however they were formally arrested. Processed or charged is another story and I haven't seen further coverage, but they were (legally speaking) arrested. How many levels of trickery are we on?

>>37870 >That's a cop-out, anon. Yes, we are living in a uniparty system, but one half of that party was usurped almost a decade ago How the fuck is that a cop-out? Feds have always been feds, and they haven't even vaguely tried to hide it for way longer than ten years. Other than some irrelevant regressive social posturing from both "sides" everything of any importance is exactly the same as it's been since 9/11. >At $20/gallon gas when the feds are subsidizing exporting oil and grain instead of keeping it domestic, you will get small-scale famines. Albeit mostly in the cities. That's assuming that the feds don't cut down on their own exports. There will be rioting in the cities over prices and local shortages pretty well no matter what though.

What does strelok do with his money? I keep reading about how the smartest thing you can do wih excess cash is to reinvest it in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc., but what happens to all that money when the market collapses? And I don't mean a collapse like dot-com or 2008, I mean when the market literally ceases to exist because the country it's in has collapsed, like with Yugoslavia. What's going to happen to all those chink state-owned companies when the CCP crashes? What will happen to the NYSE when the dollar becomes nothing more than fancy green paper? The US stock market has shown a constant growth with several rough patches over the course of its existence, but is there a limit to how high it can really go? How much has it really grown when accounting for inflation? Is it worth investing in something that, despite every economist on Earth saying will continue to exist, has the potential to disappear with everything I put in it?

>>38466 I'm a lower-middle-class "poorfag" with debt, so I just use my small excess income for commodities that I think will be useful in the event of total collapse. If I had more money and no debt I'd probably invest in the market after doing what I already do since land is only for the rich or the super-rural (my job doesn't allow for rural living) and that way I can pull it out to buy more things when I need to up until the time of that collapse. Should a collapse happen I would be more worried about social investment than financial investment since you're gonna need people, not hard assets even though hard assets are important.

>>38466 If the market crashes to the point of not existing, everything is going to be worthless. Even with physical gold I think it would be difficult to get a similar amount of value as what you put in though losing 20% is a lot better than 100%. That only changes when you get normalcy again. I see things in 3 different sets of "money". The currencies that we use now, actual materials like food and medicine, and stores of value like gold. The last is good as a political refugee or when society returns to get your feet under you while materials are always good but especially so when things are bad. As far as all those traditional investments though, the risk is in the company surviving and/or the currency still being worth something. Theoretically the true value of stocks is limited by the size of the economy which deals with inflation by adjusting prices. It goes more by productivity and people. Personally I don't see corporations disappearing so I buy extra ammo and stuff while sending most of my extra money off into investments.

>>38466 Disregarding food I get: >ammo >silver/little bits of gold >stocks/etfs in commodities In that order while saving anything leftover for another land purchase.

>>38466 >What's going to happen to all those chink state-owned companies when the CCP crashes? The way markets collapse, the infrastructure doesn't literally collapse (see Russia post-USSR) which is why building infrastructure is the best thing you can do as a government pre-financial collapse. A successor government will take over, and what happens next largely depends on whether that successor government works for international communities and debts are charged to the Chinese people leading to hyperinflation, or the successor works for the Chinese people and bankers/traders the world over get royally fucked by a Chinese reichsmark (bad because it kicks the can 10-30 years down the road) or "reset" (good).

>>38570 Gotta justify the trillions gone in the abyss and the thousands of man hours/pilots wasted flying that piece of shit.

>>38466 >...but what happens to all that money when the market collapses? Nothing. The stuff you own is worth less money if you want to trade it, but you still officially own it.

>>38570 can someone tell me how much of a clusterfuck the F35 has been? is it just that we've dumped so much money into it and got nothing but problems out of it?

>>38620 The base jet concept wasn't that bad and ultimately it's more a case of the chairforce siphoning funds for other projects that were denied funding using the F35 project's funds (which is why they have said they won't comply with an audit even if Congress demands one). The jet works, the logistics have largely been worked out, etc. Much like every other project, the main costs were pork barrel add-ons that America's customers (Israel) demanded or shit xongress tacked on because "muh high tech" with the fuel issue not really being an issue in the grand scheme of things since it's assumed these will be launched from aircraft carriers. What really hurts the F35's image is: 1) The siphoning of funds I mentioned above. 2) The pork barrel add-ons like the stupid helmets Israel demanded and then didn't even use. 3) The fact that no supporting aircraft were used when wasting that much money. As a jet, the F35 is pretty great and will make a difference in future military conflicts if America still exists in 10 years. It's just as a product, it's the poster child of corruption within the military industrial complex.

>>37829 >>37870 The simplest explanation IMHO is: the brainless clowns got drunk, imagined themselves in charge of the circus and then directorate had to show them they aren't. When shit gets anywhere near serious, it's more like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20210124100738/www.nytimes.com/2021/01/24/us/politics/democrats-trump-election-plan.html See also Moldbug asking "surprised" questions and making fun of the language juggling in that article here: https://graymirror.substack.com/p/donald-trump-the-natural-experiment > Maybe I should call my theories "planning and coordination theories". >>38623 > (which is why they have said they won't comply with an audit even if Congress demands one) Well, there is a precedent now. > as a product, it's the poster child of corruption within the military industrial complex. I wonder how they are going to fix it. By nationalizing the company and adding more bend-over sessions for engineers?

>>38620 It's garbage, >>38623 is a moron for thinking it's good. Here are some highlights: >uses touchscreen so in flight even experienced pilots hit the wrong 'button' around 20% of the time due to g-forces >the 5lb helmet can kill pilots if they eject and has lead to a minimum weight limit being imposed >The gun module has been in developmental hell being inaccurate and has a tendency to shoot the aircraft itself >upkeep costs for NEW f-35's are not much cheaper than upkeep costs for FAR OLDER aircraft; upkeep costs only go up per age >likewise combat availability is poor >it's fuel has to be airconditioned because of all the additives >thermal issues plague the aircraft >can't maneuver for extended periods because aerodynamic heating will prevent the fuel, which is also used as coolant, from cooling and cause the plane to catch fire >has a pitiful payload in the bay and adding missles/bombs on the wings means the stealth attribute goes out the window To quote the pentagon themselves: >"Significant, well-documented deficiencies; for hundreds of these, the program has no plan to adequately fix and verify with flight test within [System Development and Demonstration]" >"Overall ineffective operational performance with multiple key Block 3F capabilities delivered to date, relative to planned [Initial Operational Test and Evaluation] scenarios" >"The Services have designated 276 deficiencies in combat performance as “critical to correct” in Block 3F, but less than half of the critical deficiencies were addressed with attempted corrections in 3FR6" >for context, block 3f appears to be the version of the F-35 that is closest to the finalized product Granted this document is from the end of 2016 however many of its flaws, and there are many, need major redesign of the aircraft to fix and are present in what is meant to be very close to the final production version.

shut up i'm namefagging. ban me if you will but there's a conversation to be had here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX5WaqfrPUw i simply don't give a fuck about anyone's opinions but i still want yours... from what little i know about the extent of the grand 1st amendment to free speech in the US, this nutjob guy is on trial for saying some words. To my understanding of the law the guy could have said the shooter was a reptilian mercenary taking on an intergalactic training camp for a hybrid-sapien/fly species that were set on the destruction of the tongue-snatching frog guys in sector 4. And that's supposed to be protected speech. Why in the hell is this guy on trial? Is it because he's not some homeless dude shouting on a corning, but instead has a sizable media presence? I've never watched his stuff so I'm clueless in that regard. I read once that a perspective on all current "eruo-centric" habbenings could be explained while looking through the lens of barbaric humiliation. however i can't see this as being an example of that. so tell me anons, wtf gives on this thing? there's a lot more at stake in the US surrounding this trial including morale and participation in the anti-gun sector of the polito-sphere here. i don't want to lose my right to self-protection and further my right to, if necessary, carry/stock arms against an oppressive government noting that i do not currently see it as oppressive but close to it. in minecraft???

>>38647 >Why in the hell is this guy on trial? Libel/Defamation. It's still a crime in America, it's just not equally enforced. Same reason Hulk Hogan won his case against the Huffington Post. SCOTUS is making a ruling to expand the ability to sue people for libel so hopefully media companies will learn the "and find out" of fucking around soon. In the case of Alex Jones specifically he's one of the reasons Trump got elected and he'd be sued for contempt of congress over refusing to go to a non-adversarial committee if not for the libel charges. Alex is double-fucked anyways because his lawyer leaked his private phone records.

>>38647 As the other anon said, the justification is libel/defamation. It's not because he called the shooting fake per se, but that he accused the families of being in on it. If he's claimed the shooter was a reptilian mercenary taking on an intergalactic training camp for a hybrid-sapien/fly species that were set on the destruction of the tongue-snatching frog guys in sector 4, and claimed that the families of the dead kids were themselves part of hybrid-sapien/fly species and were complicit in the coverup, then he'd still be liable to get sued for it, because making serious accusations against private individuals is theoretically held to a much higher standard than accusing the government of malice. Ignore the implications this would have on all the #MeToo shit and such, if it were actually applied evenly.

>>38647 This is a show-trial kangaroo court. alex jonestein is gatekeeper faggot but he's still important as a gateway for normie retards.

>>38620 It's outrageously overbudget. It was supposed to be operational around 2010, but we're still routinely uncovering new defects that ground the entire fleet. In 2018, they quietly reclassified several hundred major issues as minor issues in a half-assed attempt to cover up the problems. Until... 2018, I think, it was incapable of using any weapon other than rockets and certain AGMs, and only on the external hardpoints. The bomb bay will probably never be fully functional. The thrust vectoring system turned out to be a total waste of money, because the airframe can only survive about 6G on a good day (at least one variant was downrated to 3G for a while after they found that the tails were dangerously worn down, but I think this was eventually fixed). The VTOL functionality only works on a small handful of ships, and the necessary flight deck reinforcement is so outrageously expensive that it'd probably be cheaper to install a catapult in many cases. Also, it's so overweight that IIRC the maximum payload for VTOL at full fuel is about 500 pounds. Reduce fuel enough to carry a useful payload, and you lose a big chunk of its already-pathetic combat radius. >>38647 He came dangerously close to naming the jew where the normalfags might hear it, so justifications were invented.

>>38647 He's on trial because the judge is a well adjusted democrat who wants to expose how unhinged the right is in a public enough setting that a documentary can be made about it. Like no shit, there's a film crew in there. And interestingly that film crew only has legal immunity if they show both sides of the preceding so Alex isn't even on trial for guilt, just damages. They defaulted the judgement so guilt is a predetermined fact while they're asking for far more money than has ever been awarded in any defamation type of suit. If you care about rule of law, the trial is an abomination. Unfortunately for him, he's the perfect target to establish any of this precedent with.

>>38650 >>38651 >>38652 >>38653 so this sounds like it confirms what i thought it wasn't :/ shameful >could be explained while looking through the lens of barbaric humiliation >>38649 somehow this sounds oddly hopeful to me. i have great fears of what is to come in the next decade or so here. thankfully i've sheltered myself away from it all for the most part
