“Hang on, let me just run the damage calcs real quick.”

Not necessarily in most conditions, I’d assume. The enemy would have to recognize that your gun fires in bursts of 3 and be level-headed enough to keep track of that. The FAMAS has a selector between burst and auto as well and fires at 900–1100 RPM.

The user, meanwhile, goes in knowing about this burst and which setting they’re using. In a chaotic gunfight, they can feel the recoil and hear their shots more closely, while an enemy is much less likely to notice it, let alone take advantage of it. Moreover, the 25-round mag isn’t the only one; there’s a 30-round, and the user knows which one they have.

I think you’d need some pretty idealized conditions for an enemy to notice and take advantage of you running out of ammo using the modularity of your mag capacity.

Note: a few of the more authoritarian ones moved to the breakaway state of Transnistria.

and then minimally acknowledging their verbatim taking at the bottom.

Article stolen directly from The New York Times. No clue what “DNYUZ” is supposed to mean, and there’s no trace of ownership on the site, but it’s clearly just aggregating stories from elsewhere and then minimally acknowledging their verbatim taking at the bottom.

Bad for a lot of reasons, and I’m not talking about the ones that hurt the publisher. There are no updates to the article should they become available, the average reader won’t know the source of what they’re reading, ostensibly images in the article body are missing…

It is imperative that the cylinder remains unharmed.

And it’s still better than the hoops we gotta jump through to sideload on iPhone.

The fact that iOS is a joke doesn’t make this any better, and there’s no such thing as “sideloading” outside of corporate FUD; it’s installing perfectly goddamn normal software on your goddamn device that you goddamn own. I didn’t “sideload” Firefox onto my desktop. “Yeah, bro, I just sideloaded Hades II.”

People this willing to let a self-enriching corporate nanny state erode their ability to use the products they paid for terrify me.

People this willing to fall for the blatant corporate strategy of “We’ll announce something unthinkable but then backpedal to something “only” terrible (and then probably do the unthinkable thing later now that we’ve encroached further and softened the blow)” for the millionth time confound me.

Show some dignity; jesus christ. This isn’t a “compromise”. Me breaking into your house, threatening to kill you, but then “only” hitting you with a bat and leaving isn’t a “compromise”.

Too vague.

• How much time between waves?
• Can I leave one first-grader “alive” to indefinitely recover at the end of a wave? Or can defeated members of a wave re-enter the fight if they have long enough to recover?
• Do I get regular meal and sleep breaks assuming it goes on long enough?
• How aggressive are they?
• Is the attack coordinated? Like did they have time to prepare?
• What does the arena look like?
• What constitutes being finished beating one of them up?
• Do I have to worry about taking it too far?

I don’t even think it’s (predominantly) her antisemitism that’s causing this, because she definitely also (probably moreso) hates Muslims; it’s her backwater isolationist mentality that the US should never help anybody but ourselves (totally ignoring how much helping others disproportionately helps us). I wrote a very large portion of Greene’s article on Wikipedia in 2021, and one of the biggest throughlines for her support for Donald Trump in 2020 was isolationism (“America First”).

It’s also why Greene was outspoken against the US’ invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An ardent anti-interventionalist is bound to occasionally be correct when the one intervening is an impulsive, reckless, bigoted, selfish imperialist.
