Nothing in practical terms here. Range is irrelevant, this guy isn’t shooting people from 800 yards away. Power is largely irrelevant…somewhat more trauma from a bullet wound in certain circumstances.
When talking about walking around murdering people the caliber of the rifle isn’t important in the slightest. It’s a rifle round, that’s all you really need to know.
As it turns out it’s much more effecient to mass murder people at relatively close range than stupidly trying to take long range skill shots, so being afraid of boogy man sniper isn’t really a thing.
Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled “push” for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this “disability” wouldn’t be detrimental?
Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?...
I’m American but work on transportation where 24hr clock is…sort of the standard.
I prefer 24hr and use it on all my devices, but outside work I pretty much exclusively communicate with 12 hr. No point in using wording I know is gonna be misunderstood when I can comfortably swap between the two.

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

Not only is it flat wrong, you just choose to ignore the significant usage of boys / girls to refer to adults in pop culture. ie: boys will be boys.
The term girls does not necessarily refer to underage, or women who appear underage. Same with boys. And making an argument to the contrary really just makes you look silly and discredits any legitimate point you might have.
And I won’t. I responded to the bits that were relevant to my argument and ignored the rest. If I wanted to debate the finer points of the porn industry I would have led with that.
Does this person think these are unique insights? It’s not some big secret that manufacturers and software developers have continually tried to make their products easier to use so as to attract customers.
Regardless of what a message box says the majority of people are gonna have to Google the issue.
Linux powerusers have a meltdown when trying to comprehend that there exists a middle ground between power user and complete idiot, I guess - which leads to small essays saying nothing at all to people who will blindly agree with it no matter what it is says because it’s anti-corporate / anti Microsoft.
Parents these days aren’t any different, not really. Having kids is the default life path for most people, so of course a good percentage are gonna suck at it.
Fringe was a top priority for me to have an owned copy. Over the years it has gotten passed around so many services, and at times was completely unavailable to stream (afaik). Can’t stand that shit.
That was my assumption. Not breathing for an unknown amount of time following a lightning strike. I imagine it would be noteworthy for the article if she regained consciousness and later died.
