That sounds super late indeed. Teens will always drink, I think it's better they can do it in a safe place instead of a forest with a bottle of vodka they got somewhere.

As someone who has handled a very similar looking weapon in the military, they are indeed single use. Though the used ones can be used for training. It's important than one can "unfold" one very quickly

Edit: it was the M72A5 I dealt with. Never got to shot an actual one though, just a tracer one.

And I also was in charge of a simulator where you could shoot those things!

sorry I haven't got a clue how to link communities

I kinda wanna color my beard a crazy color now. Though I'll need a beard first...

I bet beer hits different after a marathon.

You actually did reminde me to try minetest again right now! I tried it last like a decade ago and been meaning to try again

At least you got it easier than us 2000s kids. I have to live to 96 just to see two!

It literally has a picture of arm wrestling on there. I think it's on purpose.

Usually in addition to electricity itself you pay for using the power grid per kWh. IIRC here in Finland it's around 0.07€/kWh. At one point due to some error the price of electricity went down to like -0.20€ and we were indeed paid to use electricity. Though we paid back with more expensive electricity a while after.

Speak for yourself

My Pentium 100 even says "Heatsink req'd"

You underestimate kids' ability to manipulate their parents to buy things

This goes along with a thing I like to say: Being rich doesn't make one an asshole. It takes an asshole to become rich.

But there's a cover on top of that which doesn't get hot, as it's meant to be held, at least on assault rifles, which is the only weapon I have shot.

I'd say, as long as the ass is stable that's not half bad for shooting. The person with ass up though, I can't imagine how one would look through the sights properly like that.

Good notabot

At least you knew about dice and popcorn kernels

Sure! I just asked in case it was a feature already that I didn't notice

No? It's the number of particles per mol, a huge number.

Ah thank you

It was quite a bit of work but it looks and sounds pretty good. On the inside, it got a new EL84 and an EM80, all the tar and electrolytic caps were replaced, a few resistors replaced, a tuning capacitor soldered back on, a new power cord, a fuse added and maybe something I'm forgetting. The lacquer on the cabinet was scraped off and new lacquer put on. The brass parts were cleaned and polished and knobs cleaned.

I'm still not finished though, when I get my function generator in the mail I will give it a full alignment, I can notice two peaks per channel and the dial is not quite right. More out of spec resistors should probably be replaced too. It does work well as is too, with a wire connected to the antenna input I was even able hear a lot of shortwave stations!
