Isn’t Lance Stroll the son of the team owner? Or am I thinking about somebody else?

Whoppers are 95% great. It’s that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.

Just nailed an interview because I prepped with ChatGPT. Gave it my resume, the position I was applying for, and some of my recent accomplishments and it helped me realize that I was a stronger candidate than I thought, so I was able to use that during the interview.

Please keep in mind that at no time do I ever believe ChatGPT blindly.

I didn’t think I’ve seen much of anything on Lemmy.

I’ve considered joining in on community games from the MCDM discord, the company that Matt Colville started. Lots of YouTube content for you to get an idea of what his deal is and the kind of community they’re trying to foster.

Wasn’t his pre-shock jock era prior to 9/11? Felt like he got more serious after that, but I hadn’t listened to him for a little while by that point.

Limited Liability Corporations exist for that very reason. I think a dude in France made a deal with a cave lion of some sort.

Yes, I’m sure he meant an economic bloodbath. 🙄

As a former teenage boy, sometimes it’s really just soap and soap scum and dirt and whatever else caught in the hair rather than anything else.

Also, for anyone caught in a sticky situation, cold water to keep the proteins from denaturing and getting sticky in the first place, and if all else fails use shampoo to try to emulsify it to stick to the water instead of the floor, to make little sewer babies with your neighbors.

While the oven is preheating, allow me to postulate that the thermal mass of the barrel, especially in vicinity of the breech, would require far more exposure to heat to reach the temperature required for the powder to spontaneously ignite.

This is why hot gun cook-offs occur, because the barrel has absorbed enough heat that it’s able to ignite the powder through the casing via conduction. As such, as you would expect, after containing a single explosion (i.e. firing a round), the chamber would be warm to the touch while the exterior of the barrel would remain cool. It’s not until the metal is exposed to enough heat internally that the barrel becomes too hot to touch externally.

So that’s my logic here. If it was suddenly 500 degrees outside, I think the safest place to hide a bullet in a gun to keep it from exploding is the chamber.

Yay or dismay

Commenters are getting this backwards. If there was a round in the chamber it would be the last to go off, not the first. Whereas the rest of the rounds are directly exposed to the heat, the chambered round has a thick metal barrel around it protecting it from that heat.

Big Hanlon fan, but I don’t think stupidity is enough to explain why the site behaves that way.

Nah, it’s a lunch/deli situation, where you can order a sandwich or get a salad, so they also have soda fountains like this.

Fuckin… Goddamnit. Thanks for letting me know.

To be fair, it was a video game aimed at children to teach them how to be good soldiers during a time when the US was entering a deeply unpopular war under false pretenses.

Around the same time there were all sorts of lawsuits surrounding video games and their effects on children, so maybe it was a double whammy.

Regardless of any claims for or against violent video games, the Army shouldn’t be recruiting like that.

Wasn’t it a guy responding to a vehicle accident and he credited America’s Army for teaching him about triaging patients? I think it stuck in my mind for the egregious click-baity headline.

Still do

Are you serious? I just told you.

Like putting speakers in monitors.

I have these conversations all the time and I’m so amused by them, because everyone has wildly different stories.

For my part, 3 ships, all small boys. In the early 2000s we would put socks, undershirts, and skivvies in laundry bags to be taken to ships laundry, where the Ship’s Servicemen (SHs) would use industrial washers and dryers to do entire berthings worth of laundry at a time. That’s why all uniforms had to be stenciled, they would mostly be thrown in together and then sent back to the right berthing to be divvied out by the compartment cleaners that day.

You could take your chances with your civilian clothes, but for the most part we would go in search of laundromats and cleaning services during port visits.

By the 2010s ships laundry was used mostly for coveralls, and a portion of the space was carved out for individual washers and dryers. I think we had 4 or 5 washers/dryers for the ~280 crew, then a set for the wardroom and a set for the chiefs mess.
