Of course the Paki’s accepted the verdict and haven’t been rioting and calling for her death and death to all Christians or anything like that at all.
One thing about the story about the woman who was stalked in her home by her ex-partner. The only options she had were putting up with the BS or moving out. The home she was living in was the property of her ex-partner.
Perfect shot placement and firearm to hunt dinosaurs? Placement just like Any other big game animal, heart/lung. As for rifle/bullet, I would think a .50 Barrett with 710 grain bullets would do the trick… from a long way away… backed up by a couple of friends flying CAP with A-10s… and a hasty means of egress.
About the Canadians at the border. These idiots are not only admitting they will lie to border guards they are letting their names be published. Like this info will go unnoticed. If you were never caught, then there is no way the border guards will catch you unless you shoot your mouth off.
Surveillance cams that ID you and “talk” to your cellphone… only if your face isn’t obscured and the battery is not in your phone.
According to the article, the cameras don’t talk to your cellphone, they talk to your smartphone.
Hint.
Showed my wife the dinosaur article. She said, “Where would we put a freezer that big?”
Practical, she is.
I once saw Jack Horner describe Triceratops thus: “…the best way to kill Triceratops, if you don’t have a Tyrannosaur to do the job, is with a 76mm anti-tank gun firing high-velocity armor-penetrating shot. Leave the high explosive at home.”
He was exaggerating, of course. A 25mm Puteaux would be perfectly acceptible for Triceratops.
It sounds like the stalked woman was an idiot. All she needed to do was either move out, or just rip out all of the technology. Just get normal lights and thermostats, ditch the sound system, etc. How hard could that be? Just take it all to the landfill, and let the guy stalk the rats at the landfill.
Well, if I remember correctly, weren’t four of the Pittsburg Shooter’s victims police officers, and two of those were SWAT operators? Is this chap going to cover Movement, Targetting, fast re-loading, small group tactics, firing in a crowd, care and maintenance…? The idea that throwing a C-7 and a mag at the problem will solve everything is ludicrous. In fact, going to a house of worship where the padre is armed and whose training consists of “pull the bolt and pull the trigger” gives me the Heebe Jeebes.
There are people, some of them very intelligent, who, once they get used to technology, can’t remember that there was life before it came along.
Come with me to a Mensa meeting sometime.
I wish we had a Mel Bernstein in my county.
