Lithium fires are solid metal fires, there really isn't a way to put them out. You can remove the heat, but that is really hard to do in field conditions. The Navy teaches about flammable metal fires as part of damage control, and the usual recommendation is to jettison overboard.
This sort of thing is why frantic research is underway to find alternative alloys to use with lithium that are not so dangerous in a thermal runaway situation.
National Lawyers Guild was the group bailing out Portland rioters when Antifa were doing their months long siege of the Federal courthouse there.
Electronic hearing protection would filter out the whistle and lets you retain aural situation awareness.
Something to think about...
The mindset of this kind of person is shaped by the very real history of conservatives rolling over and surrendering in the face of every far left provocation.
For months in 2020 we all sat around and watched shit heads like this burn, loot, and murder, and no one did squat.
People like this really do think that they can go outside of their blue hives, and into the home areas of where conservatives live, and that things will go there as they do in their blue hives. They think that way because, as of yet, they haven't faced any real opposition from anyone on the right that wasn't formed on an ad hoc basis with no planning or support.
To put it another way, this person was trained by us to expect unorganized grabass opposition when they come out to where we live.
This is why I get so frustrated by all the keyboard commandoes parroting "fed" like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. Our side needs experienced street level activists. Right now we don't have any, and groups trying to organize get isolated and cut off by the rest of us writing them off as glow ops.
The problem is that shit-libs reproduce via indoctrination in schools and universities. They don't have to have kids for their mind virus to spread.
Blue states will still allow it, but red states will ban it. Some red states already have, and were just waiting on the USSC to overturn Roe.
Sorry, staying home because our opposition might make us look bad is a fucking fail, and rank cowardice.
What infuriates me is that the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff have to know that Biden is this far gone, mentally, but won't do anything about it.
As President, Biden has sole authority to initiate the release of nuclear weapons. No one else can until someone else is sworn in. As senior military advisors to the President, the JCS should be screaming bloody fucking murder about the mental state of Biden. That they aren't is an indictment of the entire JCS.
there should have been a debate on whether or not the ccw restrictions increase public safety or not.
That debate is over, shall issue permits are not a danger to public safety.
At all. Period. Full stop. Even anti-gun sheriffs that were resistant to Florida's permit in 1987, when it was first introduced, changed their minds later. Permit holder crime rates have been extensively studied, and the conclusion is clear: permit holders commit crime less often than even sworn law enforcement.
What the dissenters really want is an excuse to dither, and do nothing, thereby leaving the present system in place.
What I like is New York politicians trotting out the same, tired arguments the hoplophobes always use when concealed carry comes up for debate.
Mayor Eric Adams "We have been preparing for this decision and will continue to do everything possible to work with our federal, state, and local partners to protect our city,” Adams went on. “Those efforts will include a comprehensive review of our approach to defining ‘sensitive locations’ where carrying a gun is banned, and reviewing our application process to ensure that only those who are fully qualified can obtain a carry license … we cannot allow New York to become the Wild West.”
That hasn't ever happened in any of the 43 states that have shall issue, or the 25 who allow carry without a permit at all.
Now, we all know that New York will trill try to make it as difficult as possible to obtain a permit, because gun grabbers are nothing if not persistent, but all they are doing is setting up grounds for yet another lawsuit, a lawsuit they will loose, thanks to the expanded scrutiny this suit set up.
Windows 10 is not end of life yet, so you have some time before you have to leave win64. Valve is leading the way in finally getting linux homogeneous enough to act as an actual desktop operating system for gaming, but it isn't quite there yet. Close, but some games still require tweaking, and games that use anti-cheat are hit or miss.
I'm never going to use 11, either, so I'm in the same boat you are.
"they are literally calling for violence against trans people"
Damned right we are. Its time those freaks were reminded of their place in the social pecking order.
If merit doesn't matter, then I can write articles for getpocket too, and get paid just as much as the writer of this article.
If merit doesn't matter, next time the writer of this article needs medical care, they can go see a voodoo medicine man instead of seeing a med school graduate.
If merit doesn't matter, next time the writer of this article flies commercial, they must fly on a plane where the pilot and co-pilot are picked by random lottery out of the passenger manifest.
Make these fucks live by their words.
Andrew Sullivan has been a spaz since the early 2000s, and has really had it in for Sarah Palin, and by extension Trig Palin, since Sarah first rose to prominence during the 2008 Presidential election cycle.
He's got a 20 year established history of being an idiot. That he is stupid now is par for the course, really.
The block function on Reddit actually works, and I've used it to block obnoxious ass holes. I suggest you do the same.
I have zero patience for the antics of woke pod people any more. When I get one anywhere, they draw a block, as I have no patience for the lies, the assumed superior morality, the pure vindictiveness.
I'm college educated, too, with a bachelors in computer science.
He is the typical professitarial midwit, convinced his PhD gives him license to expound on everything. There are literally thousands of people just like him.
He needs to go back to Iran.
Reddit is good for specific stuff, like working on specific, or woodworking, stuff like that. Everything else is a flaming dumpster fire.
KIA2 and patriot.win (the_donald reformed there) are the only 2 I regularly visit.
Water balloon launcher secured to posts stuck into the side pockets of a pick up bed. Water balloons filled with paint. Fire from 300 yards away, using an angle indicator you already marked for correct angle to hit at range.
Launch 10 balloons as fast as you can, take down posts, drive away. Whole thing takes less than 3 minutes.
Note: The balloons can be filled with something other than paint, and more than balloons can be launched from such a contraption.
Trans can't reproduce because they fuck up the sexual reproduction mechanisms their genetic sex forms when they try to make reality match their delusion.
They deserve no pity or empathy, as they do this to themselves.
And then, I'd do it again once I got out, but via means that don't lead back to me.
I like using pod people, like invasion of the body snatchers. They even do the point and shriek thing.
That frustration is based on a total lie.
Suicide by cop is the most common reason police officers have to shoot someone.
This looked like a case when I first saw it last week, and I haven't seen anything since then to change my mind.
...because only the right wing applies the Constitution as written.
