  1. "this rifle was only designed to be fired from the right shoulder." you mean the british designed it to fire from the properly issued british shoulder
    3600
  2. love how they put wood even on the breech block. Whoever designed this probably had a wood paneled house, a wood paneled car and probably lived in the 1950s
    3300
  3. "Oh shit sir, the torpedo is coming back around!" "Don't worry, those things never work." Clunk "See."
    3200

    2500

  9. they're not wrong about potions being stupidly dangerous. its like chemistry except you have absolutely no empirical idea of how it should work,
    1700
  10. This ,the Kobe Steel quality scandal and a few other Japanese industrial scandals all seemed to come out around the same time and could be some content on this channel someday too. They all basically had their roots in the lost decade, japanese corporate culture, and the loss of a quality focused company culture as well as a healthy amount of corruption and coverups
    1700
  11. this isnt a machinegun its a tool for converting loaded .22lr to empty brass
    1600

  15. pak40: man pushes button, dust clouds appear

  16. dear ATF please remove this gun from the machine gun classification my evidence is that nobody will ever ever be able to make one shoot fully automatic even if the weapon is technically capable of doing so.

    774
  23. there's something entirely british about stubbornly refusing to adopt a self loading pistol this hard
    738
  24. "and children will live richer lives than their parents." Laughs and then cries in Millenial
    719
  25. the problem is that if you tell a russian that they're having a gas crisis they think everybody is going to freeze to death, with massive rationing and lines everywhere. rather in europe the crisis is that they might have to tightly manage supply to keep things normal, and people might need to be frugal about their usage. Worlds appart in thought. europe is not in any danger of a ussr level of scarcity.
    697
  26. the germans use proof marks, the US uses imperials, and the swiss use complexity to keep people from copying their designs
    683
  27. Such a stark difference from the germans, not a single number on any of the nuts and bolts, let alone a proof mark. How will we know those bolts can hold the stock on if they haven't been numbered and checked!?
    677
  28. "Theres activators that give you a limited time target" Absolutely sprays the limited time target
    667
  29. "And by 1945, dear lord the russians are coming!" best summery of 1945
    657
  30. 12:28 This just gives me the image of some hogan's heroesesque comedy where every cave and bunker they go into already has its own secret wonder weapon program and they joke about how hard it is to setup a secret weapons program
    612
  31. "Shooter ready?!" Chunk, chunk, shloop, chunk, thunk "READY!"
    604
  32. "cartridge rifles are wasteful, soldiers will just fire too fast!" "lever rifles are bad because soldiers will burn up ammunition too fast!" "Double action revolvers are bad because they will fire off their shots wildly!" "Magazine bolt actions are wasteful because they will fire too fast!" "Self loading battle rifles are too wasteful!" "Automatic assault rifles are bad because they will spray and pray!" Times change, but the frugality of commanders never changes

  35. what's this, a US Military pistol development program that actually finished? quite forgotten
    485

  40. the red paint under the hull has some agent to it that prevents aquatic life from latching onto it, its red typically for tradition since its not the old tin-based paint it used to be.
    428
  41. germany, making a bazooka that kills the operator is just a feature.

  47.  @Eudaletism  no tresspassing near railroad tracks is an even older holdover from the days when unionist strikers would rip up railroad tracks and block trains to coal mines
    362
  48. its like the designer decided to reinvent the wheel then the axle, then the cart, then the horse, the harness, ect ect...
    329
  49. I absolutely love how when asked about mara-largo he basically described hypothetically committing another fraud when on trial for committing fraud
    297
  50. "And by 1905 they had a number of russian built ships in their inventory." How nice of the russians to work with them
    295
  51. "Its the 4th most popular breech-loading carbine of the civil war!" great thing to stick on the poster
    294
  52. "They concluded there are enough of you who watch ian, who also watch me and play world of tanks" ha, the obvious cross marketing
    289
  53. "We'll let you in but for 3 months, at lowered wages, and just a few of you." You see what's wrong with this picture boris? This isn't going to solve your labor problem
    289
  54. corvair really seemed to think nothing was impossible if you threw enough money and engineers at the problem
    286
  55. Russians: "Everyone, we built a new gun for everybody to use and defend communism everywhere!" Czechs: laughing in czechoslovakian
    282
  56. "A cruder sten gun" so like an actual piece of plumbing with a magazine sticking out of it?
    280
  57. its like the ordinance guys sat around a table going "That's notta knife!" while pulling out increasingly dumber bayonets until one accidentally got stamped off for approval
    278
  58. and not a member of the oil industry
    266
  59. Its remarkably functional for what it is. Like who would bother to put a functional grip safety on a workshop gun like this, let alone a double trigger
    263
  60. crap or not, this thing is in astonishing shape for being over 100 years old
    249
  61. I think that's kind of funny that they're so proud of their new cartridge and then you go "Oh that's 7.65 french long!" and they're like "What's that?"
    247
  62. james bond's other problem is that everybody assumes anyone carrying a walther ppk is a british 00 spy even those hundreds of german police officers carrying them
    238
  63. absolutely pristine, this thing had to have sat in an armory somewhere instead of on the seas
    235
  64. I feel like the phrase "Baseless allegations" is the financial industry's version of shouting "Fake news!" whenever someone accuses you of doing something. everytime a company is cought doing something its always "baseless accusations" even after they've been found guilty
    228
  65. "The company sent employees to meet with the epa and gave them a script to follow, they instead flipped and blew the whistle." gee I wonder how that could have happened, why wouldn't they just commit felonies like good loyal employees?
    228
  66. "I'm you but smol!" Balilla upon being confronted by a Carcano for the first time
    223
  67. one was Karl with...just go watch his exhaustive video, the other three...they must have been bad at shooting
    218
  68. if you're gonna cover refinery explosions you'll be at this for a few more years, especially since huston makes one every year
    215
  69.  @dingerling9017  they were trying to bluff him into toning the scene down, they didn't think he'd actually agree, but he called their bluff and agreed.
    193
  70. Hunting Rifle Ammunition sounds like a very reliable and sustainable supplier of hunting rifle ammunition that couldn't possibly go out of business
    182
  71. and that owner happens to be the person I stole it from!
    178
  72. "This pistol is sufficient for our requirements." -germans

  73. last week: "Here's some german space magic" Italy: "Hold my beer..."

    170
  75. The French copy nobody, and nobody copies the French

  76. and remember if you have communist tetanus, everyone has communist tetanus
    165
  77. unless you're strapped for cash, then hire the B team
    164
  78. this really seems like the army looking around and realizing there's been 30+ years of development on AR's and getting ahead of it again
    162
  79. kinda like how the airforce quietly paid for lots of infrastructure to test spy satellites went into building out the public space program.
    162
  80. I can hear the meetings between H&K branches "We have made a brand new police 9mm pistol!" -Europe "Great, does it come in .45?" -America sigh
    162
  81. take him to a steelmill, watch his jaw drop at the sight of so much metal then take him to any federal reserve and open the vault watch his head explode
    162
  82. just another 28 years and you'll have AKs that are 100 years old. That's scary
    154
  83. the H-Bomb layercake route isn't that complicated but it does require having a working nuclear bomb first
    153
  84. imagine being a guy who was a little slow with the bicycle and didn't make the train, and also would apparently missed the end of the war
    147
  85. the beginning of german clockwerk magic
    146
  86. time to box ian up and ship him out again
    138
  87. Stage 1 is like a 50 yard jog where you're expected to be a precision shooter after each jog, not sure I could do that especially by the final shots
    138
  88. "No Island?" "Could get in the way of the wings." "Where's the radar going." "we need to beat the army and airforce!"
    136
  89. "Some workers observed slab deflecture of up to 2 feet" me noping the fuck out of there
    134
  90. Mauser: Make rifle flapper lock Mauser again: Make a pistol flapper lock Mauser yet again: Make machinegun flapper lock! H&K: Make literally everything roller or flapper delayed for the next 60 years
    134
  91. "Presumably cheaper to manufacture." oh so they stopped excessively stamping everythin-
    132
  92. doggy is like "Its cold out here I'm following them inside."
    128
  93. a black powder maxim must have been a hell of a sight, just a massive cloud of smoke
    128
  94. if anybody is studying the economics of regulation, policymakers aren't listening. we're being told by them there can only be bad regulations
    125
  95. the fact that the Union Navy was able to go from a few ships to being able to blockade THE ENTIRE SOUTH in a few short years is mind boggling because you had to have people, ships, ships to supply those ships, people on those ships, and so on and so forth, and they started with next to nothing
    120
  96. swiss, the only country to hold a weapons trial through the entirity of ww2
    118
  97. this ship was an important stepping stone. Miazaki would have just drawn regular battleships if this hadn't been built
    113
  98. its like the exact opposite of what they needed
    111
  99. 37mm HE machinegun, oh ya Maxim saw aircraft as something needed to be obliterated.
    111
  100. the M60 says "Papa...?"
    107
  101. mostly because cnc'ing is soooooo cheap and time efficient now, and that's 3 axis and pretty much every shop can afford at least a couple cnc cabinets now
    104
  102. I know they're very limited in space but I never was a fan of hanging the aircraft because you can't get close to them but it is a great sight and crazy how dense the smithsonian gets
    103
  103. there was a special kind of aircraft engine that only ended up being used on blimps but Barrel Engines are one of those weird what-if technologies because they are very close to radials in size
    102
  104. an interesting side note, museum ships and subs on the great lakes and in freshwater rivers actually need a different cathodic protection system, the saltwater anodes will actually eat the hull. the USS Cod recently showed this when they drydocked
    101
  105. I think the funny thing about this is you seriously have to ask the question of whether to take it to the gunsmith, the bicycle shop or the watchmaker
    100
  106. "And 5 of them went to one guy." there's a marketing and demographics joke in this somewhere.
    94
  107. "No taxation without representation!" Supreme Court to territorial citizens: well actually...
    94
  108. an 1870s rifle with sights you cannot use, seems correct for the period

    92
  110. "Now pay attention double-o-seven, take this standard H&K G3 Rifle, note the shortened barrel. Fires Point three-oh-Eight ammunition. Blinding your adversaries for a quick escape."

  111. the front sight is elevation adjustable, windage is going to be sort of difficult.
    89
  112. right, mark hamil is also an uber talented voice actor.

    85
  116. James McIlvenny who touch heavy's gun!
    85
  117. I know 4 out of 5 bond villains preferred the sterling smg in its day
    85
  118. gotta love those 1800s printers thinking they were screwing the writers. without them we wouldn't have had dickens either
    84
  119. Does this make it a papa mauser? (I'll see myself out.)
    83
  120. we should have bombed germany's stamp factories. they would never have been able to manufacture anything without them.
    82
  121.  @planetmikusha5898  uh ya they're significantly better because they have much better weapons and defensive positions as well as a very large amount of international navies ready to jump into a conflict too
    82
  122. this gun seems like it was really ahead of its time in some ways. That bolt looks pretty modern even though its for a totally different time.
    82
  123. what a wild time when you could buy a brand new civil war revolver and jump into your model T
    80
  124. "Ugh, I'm swiss and I want to target shoot but none of the target pistols out there are as complicated as my watch!" "Have we got the gun for you....!"
    80
  125. pops the action THUD "its a tremendously simple gun." gun is stronk!
    79
  126. funny thing is both Regal and AMC just launched their own movie ticket passes after MoviePass died, which tells me how well negotiating would have worked with them
    79
  127. this is an interesting problem that shouldn't be one. This company basically collected air refinery byproducts across ukraine and then further concentrated them while these plants exist virtually everywhere but nobody is doing the same thing
    79
  128. this whole thing was a mess since the french offered to build a nuclear sub first then the austrailians insisted it had to be a long range diesel, so they heavily modified the design to fit diesels instead, only for the US to offer up nuclear again and austrailia to change its mind again. All in all the french did a lot of work and are pissed off but I think this will pass eventually, alliances are stronger than a few incidents
    78
  129. this looks very well built yet also not overbuilt like you'd expect from italian guns
    76
  130. other tapes were available...
    74
  131. forgotten weapons: James D Julia Auction House Table "its uh seen a lot of historical firearms over the years. Legs fold up, and this decorative table cover is custom...that's about it."
    72
  132. Deadliest Weapon of WW1: A General, because their solution to trenches was just throw more men at it
    70
  133. but top loading makes a lot of sense for a vehicle weapon, more than a bottom loading gun depending on how its mounted
    70
  134. so they pulled a radar O'Riley on him by calling it a machine pistol
    70
  135. Its like a cookie jar only a crate full of guns
    69
  136. An interesting side note, this ship played a minor but pivotal role in both world wars, recoaling the british fleet during the Battle of the Falklins in ww1 and providing material for repairs to the ships damaged in the fight to sink the Graff Spee
    67
  137.  @circleofsorrow4583  I think the issue is more that the prop company can't afford to buy a huge pile of uzi's so they buy a lot of cheaper stuff that looks like uzi's
    66
  138. What Would Eugene Stoner Do...if he needed a 50 BMG rifle
    66
  139.  @petergaskin1811  I can absolutely imagine there being a spec and drawing for a standard dining tray, I've seen weirder
    65
  140.  Boris-Smiff  the actual problem is the free market and religious worship of the economy and denial of any outside costs such as the environmental damage done by fossil fuels
    65
  141. this is the same story with the osprey. Its neither helicopter or plane and congress couldn't figure who got to buy it
    63
  142. a fool and his money are easily parted.
    63
  143. "Today I have for you a single shot .38 pistol from the man who owned the rights to the revolver"
    62
  144. "Germans could have won WW2 with just this 1 trick!"
    62
  145. the missing link between mauser and H&K
    62
  146. at least Eli Whitney had a lot of innovation in machinery used for making guns to get back at the people who made this atrocity
    61
  147. Elbonia went and bought from a proper manufacturer, they bought Winchester Model 1911's thinking they were handguns
    61
  148. I'd say the industry is probably trending towards safer processes, maybe not out of express concern for the workers, but because the newer processes require a lot more precision and are even more sensitive to impurities
    61
  149. bloke in a shed, how britain does technology
    61
  150. El Guusko right, its hard to make a simple gun that doesn't explode. you can see someone who knew exactly what they could get out of their materials did a lot of very smart design work on this
    60
  151. I have no experience but the base could have been made after the fact by even the exhibitors just to show it off. something like this would have been unwieldy to use so screwing it to a table with a quickly made sheet of brass might have been a quick fix. whoever used it before that might have just held it with a clamp or some other tool you'd find in a workshop for their use
    60
  152. with the way the movement system derps out in HOI, that's about right. I always enjoyed planning a push only for my troops to get on a ship and redeploy halfway around the world with no supplies for some reason
    60
  153. the one thing SLS brings over SpaceX is that theoretically it can launch substantially wider payloads which is more of a constraint than people realize, and Gateway almost requires it
    60
  154. man I've worked with enough finicky automated conveyors to know the pain these guys faced with shitty equipment. They should have built containers that couldn't burst in the machinery
    59
  155. "Sir these are battleship 16's you can't use them like rifled guns." "The hell I can't and you're going to as well!"
    59
  156. and the guide rod is connected to the...tappet piston, the tappet piston's connected to the...op rod. the op rod's connected to the...bolt head...
    58
  157. Tbf, this monster was exactly what was needed to lay transatlantic telegraph/telephone cable in that era since it actually could carry enough cable to go from one shore to the other
    57
  158. "This is a picture of the Great White Fleet." "Why's it called that." "Not sure."
    57
  159. too bad they never put this into production, it looks like a beautiful gun
    56
  160. except when he's doing a bit like shouting scripture or communism
    56
  161. "This is the engine." No that's just the block, you're missing most of the enginey bits
    55
  162. phased out but not forgotten.
    55
  163. it was an interesting time when you could as a small military, equip your force with superior weapons than your larger more imperial neighbors might be able to or were willing to
    55
  164. Almost seems like there should have been a mechanical interlock to drop the source if the door was opened while the pneumatic cylinder is retracted or some kind of gate by the end of the maze to trip the mechanical failsafe if the source was still out of the pool
    54
  165. really funny that bankers and VC bros are acting like interest rate risk management is an alien concept
    53
  166. I don't know what will happen first, self sustaining fusion, or reliable wireless printing
    52
  167. "Sir, the tartars are attacking and the army is still beseiging Ikea" "How's Boris my cousin at command?" "Gudenuf"
    52
  168. and then pensions were almost all universally closed in 2008 and 401k's suck at replacing them. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!
    51
  169. serialized rivits? these are british fighters not german ones
    50
  170. I think the general problem with paper cartridges is they're not rigid enough to reliably feed using these systems, plus before pretty much the 1930s, repeating rifles were quite difficult to get working
    49
  171. you forgot the marketing of the Edsel was that NOBODY was allowed to see the car until literally the night it was put on sale. the assembly issues were because Mcnamera (yes thst one) decided to build them on the same assembly line as other ford cars, which did not work
    49
  172. I'd like to think Wauser arms were quite popular with the Elbonian National Police Agency
    48
  173. seems like in hindsight, 1939 was not the year to start rearming
    48
  174. "They fought it off by using the ship's gatling gun to sweep her own decks" Jesus no thanks, point blank naval gatling guns would be brutal
    47
  175. "Welcome to forgotten... eh garage?"
    47
  176. 30 years from now "Oh damn this was sporterised then desporterised, mark it down."
    47
  177. "they set up a spirits distillery" I can kinda see why that didn't go anywhere in a nominally islamic country
    46
  178. the movie just used a sw .38 with a comically long barrel extension. THIS IS REAL
    46
  179. "we're also seeing an increase in the consumption of hard liquor instead of wine" yikes, it takes a lot of anxiety to increase the alcoholism rate in russia
    46
  180. 6:51 not only did they pay attention, you can find an invoice explaining that they were equipping the expedition with these weapons because they expected to be dealing with close quarters fighting
    46
  181. @Samson Soturian  well, being a colonial plaything for europeans and their racist kids up to the 1990s probably didn't help either
    46
  182. ya that's the creepy part, these guys know they're going to die and have a matter of hours before their bodies start reacting to the trauma so they can walk out of these facilities 'fine' and give interviews before dying to radiation poisoning
    46
  183. "There's 10,000 books" oh man you guys really did good for this book. Glad to hear you guys are moving, and about to get really busy
    45
  184.  @luc_libv_verhaegen  problem is water systems have to run 24-7 so you need a baseline, not strictly a deal breaker though, plus ideally you'd be desalinating to fill reservoirs to help with shortages
    45
  185.  @nigelft  most doctors probably aren't really accustomed to knowing for absolute certainty someone is going to die. Taking as much radiation as he did, he absolutely was going to die, but there was probably only a handful of doctors who had ever treated similar patients
    43
  186. once again a door, a radiation sign, an industrial irradiation source, and night shift
    43
  187. ya and amphibious landings just weren't a thing yet, you just unloaded supplies and troops on a beach or port and hope you don't get shot at
    43
  188. called it! also WHY WOULD YOU EVER STEP INTO SOMETHING CALLED AN IRRADIATOR
    42
  189. And all the USN had as a rival was the BuOrd
    42
  190. today you have flashlights, lasers, and foregrips, back then you had sight protectors and sight micrometers
    42
  191. I always love the story of the Ferris Wheel, London builds a giant iron and glass hall, France builds a giant iron lattice tower. The US builds a big wheel and sells tickets to ride it. It's just so different from the "Look at my cool building" vibe that was going on everywhere else
    42
  192. Austin Power's grandfather(?)
    41
  193. Jeff England barrels and receivers are (or were) probably impossible to machine to the right quality in Turkey back then, only a few places had the technical knowledge to make large production runs of precise machined weapons back then
    40
  194. have you ever thought about publishing these on audible? you're already longer than most audiobooks
    40
  195. ya taiwan isn't toothless, they're the porcupine here, capable of making every beach very difficult, then every inch from there a nightmare
    40
  196. you have to ask yourself how much ammo was the ussr making that they decided they needed to save lead on pistol ammo
    40
  197. Customer: "I need more daka!" Gunsmith: "Here's a knock rifle..." Customer:"Still more daka!" Gunsmith ......
    40
  198.  @Paultimate7  idk, I think putting a big pit in the ground instead of a door interlock was a very smart feature considering how easily western designed door seitchesfailed in every single irradiator incident, and the irradiator doesn't seem to have quite the same jamming issues the other systems have. the control panel was probably where this broke down because you had no real way to look at the problem
    39
  199. "it would need composite ceramics and metals. Much like they used on the space shuttle" B-roll of a spacecraft made partly of epoxy and asbestos
    39
  200. Austria "No battleships, they're too vulnerable" GERMANY "And there's battleship number 31, and here's number 32 and here's number 33"
    39
  201. he is a man of many hats and helms
    38
  202. bayonet on your pistol because even the officers are needed when luxembourg charges
    38
  203.  @donjones4719  ya but then we wouldn't have the funny story of an admiral dropping live torpedo detonators off of a tower to see how they couldn't survive the impact with the ground, demonstrating that they had no way of surviving a direct impact with an enemy ship
    38
  204. Just hope this doesn't turn into an alt-right shitshow like a lot of alternative sites these days. Nobody can seem to launch a YT competitor without having that problem
    37
  205. china and taiwan's economies are so tightly tied up to each other I don't think they could ever justify it, but then russia and ukraine's economies were tightly tied together as well
    37
  206. "Because their day job wasn't toting around a rifle all day." ya just toting around a few cannons, ammunition, and ancillary accessories to operating a battery of cannons was heavy enough
    37
  207. no, the nypd deliberately dumped tons of firearms, gambling machines, and booze into the atlantic to ensure nobody, not even new jersey could get their hands on their contraband
    37
  208. tbf, ford pretty much reneged on all his early labor achievements by the 20s and 30s. I don't like how he gets so much praise when he had armed anti labor goons patrolling the factories, slashed pay, upped hours, shot protestors, and was the last automaker to unionize not to mention his attempt to be a feudal lord in Fordlandia imposing his views and lifestyle onto the natives there
    37
  209. not always so easy since you'd have to change the parachutes, bags, possibly airplanes, the manufacturing process, and also training as well as ensuring the new parachute works, not something you can easily accomplish under war time pressure. Plus germany was done paratrooping by the middle of the war
    36
  210. the one thing I think you ommitted was the advent of torpedoes and their accompanying ships in ww2 (and to a lesser extent ww1) which made lines incredibly dangerous since if the enemy ships shot out a fusillade of torpedoes and missed their target, there was probably another ship right behind it, which seemed to happen with frightening regularity in the early half of the war. if nothing else, they served to break up formations and cause chaos since nobody wants to get poked by the 20 foot long doom fish
    36
  211. ya until the civil war they were recieving aid from the us which probably dictated where they can buy their stuff
    36
  212.  @redram5150  henry ford, stubbornly ignored ergonomics, even when he had the dodge brothers who would invent the modern arrangement, on his payroll.
    34
  213. ya i mean if a 100+ year old gun needs parts, it shouldn't deter people from fixing it and making it functional. they just need to make sure to sell it on its merits and history not its rarity
    34
  214. I could see this on archer. "Ha, you've got a sig 2/10 and you just fired eight bullets, so you're out of- OW LAAAAANAAAAAA"
    33
  215. metal sintering lead to metal injection molding which is today one of the most practical ways to make complex parts cheaply and is evolving into 3d printing and sintering. Interesting early thing going on there.
    33
  216. tbf, if soviet paratroopers are coming as we've learned, you actually want a stinger missile to deal with them all at once in a horrific fireball instead of pdw's holding them off in a firefight
    33
  217. personally I always loved the batmobile from Batman The Animated Series, its very similar to this one but maybe more realized being like a 30 foot long absolute beast of a car that bruce wayne had personally built for him by one singular engineer
    33
  218. economic warfare depends on how much economic exchange a country has with another. The US's sanctions against russia, cuba, and iran haven't been that great since we have very little economic activity with them
    32
  219. "Strike me down and I shall become more powerful than you ever could imagine." Sometime later "WAHAHAHAHA SEE MY MASSIVE AIR GROUP, FEEL MY WRATH!"
    32
  220. that's actually kind of funny as well because navy ships and army headquarters needed tons of very complex teletypes that were made by the same companies
    32
  221. seems like someone made a frankengun, then sold it, then that person wants to sell it not realizing its a frankengun because nobody can be that dense
    31
  222. "The south shall rise again!" "Why?" "Uh.... um... heritage?" "Were your ancestors even here in the 1860s?" ".........no."
    31
  223. 3:05 "Did you correct for the relative speed of the island?" "What's the relative speed of the island?" "Nothing, its an island"
    31
  224. love how ian massaged this, these aren't simply terrible guns, they're special terrible guns
    30
  225. "I hereby decree all royal navy ships dock here, except the ones which dock elsewhere, but not all of the ones which dock elsewhere."
    30
  226.  @waleedmukhtar2925  because hydrogen gas powered IC is woefully inefficient
    30
  227. hmmm Ian brings up a great point about accidentally obliterating protestors...
    30
  228. ww1 combat ranges weren't all that far away though in some regions.
    30
  229. only the french would make a pistol that can also open a bottle of wine someone needs to make a modern version of this in .22
    30
  230. I see this and the Ashtabula Horror have the same root cause, a developer that ignores the design of everybody around them and gets away with it right up until they didn't
    29
  231. "Demetri go tension the center tracks!" "But how!?"
    29
  232.  @theJellyjoker  or the history of military dogmatic inertia, the springfield stuck around because it was cheap and serviceable even if it wasn't really the best option to keep bringing forward
    29
  233. the big thing is the decoupling of the european economies long term is going to kill russia's future growth. you just can't replace europe with china
    29
  234.  @volvo09  tbf, most substances aren't damn near impossible to handle and changing states in the process but their solution to reheat the barrel was incredibly dumb, instead of setting the thing aside for more level heads to fix
    29
  235.  @hubert3704  sure blame the leftists like usual
    28
  236. it ain't an 1800s carbine if your knife is shorter than the gun it goes on
    28
  237. heavy barrelled FAL, because the soldiers weren't complaining enough.
    28
  238. "Not all the normally serialized parts are serialized on french produced lugers" Ah well that's technically an improvement
    27
  239. thing always was the soviets never really needed a big navy, their enemies were all reachable by a short drive through the country side.
    27
  240. you can just remove the holdopen and let it be a lock on empty which given the mags being more likely the problem, might be a good thing anyways
    27
  241. this was exactly like the old Missile Gap where the US looked at what russia was doing, where it was, and extrapolated and then it turned out it had plateaued instead of increased its efforts
    27
  242. wireless solar battery, the most inefficient means to charge one's phone
    26
  243.  @liamsamples  not all popcorn ceilings are filled with asbestos. my parents put up their house's ceilings long after asbestos was banned
    26
  244. As WTYP Pod would say about the courageous class, Make the ship more rigid!
    26
  245.  @51WCDodge  he's still not wrong, their naming convention was never particularly followed by their armorers
    26
  246. Govanmauler I'd imagine they'd all be so covered in dust and rubble they couldn't smell much of anything. those walls were dropping tons of concrete and from Ian's brief walk through the floors there had to be just covered in the stuff and everything had to be just caked in powdered cement
    26
  247. "simple" minute of angle measurement
    26
  248. almost looks to me like one owner who knew about the barrel extension put it in the case without the extension on, as it fits quite nicely. Then sold it to another owner who had no idea about it and tried to shove it into the case with the extension on.
    26
  249. "Damnit man I'm a captain, if I wanted land training I,'d have joined the army!"
    26
  250. totally believable, the system is incapable of dealing with malicious actors, it still gives deference to people out of fear of being too heavy handed
    26
  251.  @cluster4583  US 16" super heavy shells and much better fire control systems would have just outclassed yamato but in the end, it was much easier to just send aircraft to do the job. We lost basically nobody to sink the biggest battleship ever, whereas 4 years earlier the british paid heavily to sink the bismark
    26
  252. I still can't believe you can get this company's grenade launcher, remove the launcher part and just pin it to the front of this thing
    26
  253. probably because of all the beligerants of ww2, japan ended the war with the least amount of surviving weaponry, and what little did, we dumped into the ocean, so only the odd survivor or trophy exists today
    25
  254. looking back, it seems like much of the debate of armed drones was because the world to that point had been using armed drones rather cavalierly against insurgents and anyone we called an insurgent. this war in ukraine has been the first real conflict where armed drones are being used in a peer level conflict
    25
  255. 5:04 "I have come up with a miniature steam boiler, I shall now put it on this tiny bicycle"
    25
  256.  @graafisk  the emission of these cars was like 20x what it should be. the cars in those fields were leftovers that didn't get fixed, or resold, and many were flood cars that got damaged in the hurricane harvey flood. Letting them drive around for 20 years would have gone well beyond what it cost the environment to manufacture them
    25
  257. the inability to admit when a strategy has become untenable or that the situation has changed seems to be a common feature of authoritarians and it has no reason to be that way other than machismo
    25
  258. that's the oil card 101, OPEC never had the clout they did in the early 70s after the first oil embargo because the US and the West as a whole went looking for local oil as well as massively reduced oil usage by energy efficiency programs, same thing happens with russia right now, they cut off the flow and europe recalibrates their energy supplies away from russia
    25
  259. the sheer disregard for human life in the USSR is always suprising
    25
  260. as someone who's worked in a salt mill, you get tired of literally everything tasting or being covered in salt pretty quickly
    25
  261.  @alienvalentine  ya the cesnas in the AF museum recieved from the airforce only allegedly went to cambodia
    24
  262. revolvers in ww2 weren't that bad though and they had a bazillion ww1 revolvers kicking around
    24
  263. I'd imagine ww2 was probably the deathknell for them because pinfire guns were woefully obsolete and cartridges were more plentiful than ever
    24
  264. it is not french, just like Hercule Poirot, it is Belgian thankyouverymuch (still the same getup though)
    24
  265. kinda makes sense, boring the barrel out makes a lot of sense if it has the material left to do it, plus the lifespan of this gun was not meant to be long
    24
  266. makes you appreciate what they had to do to get the laser sight in Terminator to show on camera so well
    24
  267. seems like the issue is with the poorly constructed charging network than the bike, build yes, but also maintain
    24
  268. its like just stamping stars everywhere is a bad idea for revision control
    24
  269. we had these things called satellites but anti satellite missiles and better tracking have only just started making them non-viable for reconnaissance
    24
  270. - TheNuttyGunNut - "they use their schools to teach hate..." when they're not running from gun toting maniacs.
    24
  271.  @BambiTrout  they likely just assumed there was the chinese lands over there because they knew of this giant empire of wealth somewhere very far away possibly on the other side of their globe
    23
  272.  @smartacus88  the G11's case was some sort of polymer that combusted with the powder
    23
  273. kind of ironic that fire control computers got so sophisticated so fast they were considered marvels in the 1940s but by the time the iowas were brought back in vietnam the computers were old, by the gulf war, antiques.
    23
  274. HD for 5 years "We're not going to build this." HD actually builds it "wow that actually sold..."
    23
  275. US subs were good but their armaments made them basically useless without 1942's losses to force the BeuOrd to finally fix the dang mark 14, there's just nothing better to say when your subs fire 10-20 torpedoes and only 1 detonates
    23
  276. steam power without the oxygen
    23
  277.  kevin lawrence  its not explicitly that its all cheap, older stuff especially electronics broke in a more routine way, but also could be fixed easier. Todays electronics like a tv can go 10 years without any component failing something unheard of even 20 years ago, but that also leaves a tv repair man unable to develop the skills or volume of business.
    23
  278. the dumb part about containerization is the new ports partly because of the rail line's inability to adapt, and partly again by the need to union bust, were often not built with rail in mind, so even if a container ultimately gets on a train it has to be offloaded onto a truck to be reloaded onto a train instead of just going from the yard to a train and the same thing at the other end, they can't offload trains into the container yards and while this has been a problem for decades its not changing any time soon
    23
  279. "Sir, should we require compulsory ownership of service pattern rifles or sidearms?" Gasser: Yes
    22
  280. in terms of grid storage these are absolutely the way to go since they don't require rare earth metals and are much more stable and not prone to catching on fire
    22
  281. you guys also have really high levels of arsenic in your ground water as well with no apparent adverse effects
    22
  282. the entire Korean war hinged on some army clerks finding a trio of m26s rusting away in a depot in tokyo to stop the massive amount of T-34-80s storming down the peninsula, and ya they could punch from front plate to back plate but ya thanks to budget cuts we had just 3 tanks capable of stopping the north korean army
    22
  283. really comitted to the 72 round capacity. he could have fit like 30 rounds without needing to do cylindrical ammo
    22
  284. Don't you mean their research branch on Deep Space Radio Emission
    22
  285. Kyle Evans ya but good luck ever shooting it, 130 year old obsolete ammunition is probably a nightmare to find especially since it was a rimmed cartridge
    22
  286. "in the 20s the army developed a wooden bullet for practice." ya practice killing vampires.
    22
  287. you have to be doing something very wrong to loose a corporate suit in deleware
    22
  288. its said to summon a bunch of kreigsmariners from the grave
    22
  289. oh look Sons of Guns ruined a perfectly good firearm, real shock, glad they kicked the bucket
    21
  290. it was radioactive fallout, their customers kept returning fogged film which Kodak had to replace per their warranty and their reputation. they kept driving around the country trying to figure it out
    21
  291.  @TheArklyte  IJA and IJN, never before has a country fought so hard against itself for itself without a civil war
    21
  292. well, cold war smgs specifically were sheet metal wherever possible, polymer where needed after 1970. these were meant to be quality cheap guns
    21
  293. you don't intercept an ICBM with a hypersonic cruise missile. all this talk about hypersonic weapons are either rebranding upgrades of old weapon systems or building a faster than supersonic cruise missile (which is like comparing tmoble 5g to veriozon 5g, the US is targeting mach 6 while china/russia reach mach 3 and claim victory)
    21
  294. its hard because you have to train your infantry, artillery, and armor, then train the infantry to work with the artillery, the artillery with the tanks, the tanks with the infantry, then you need to train all 3 to work together, and that's a gross simplification
    21
  295.  @CristiNeagu  chernobyl was a planned bypass of safety systems without access to the technical and incidental knowledge of instability at low power levels in rbmks which having been known ahead of time would have prevented the test from going forward, probably. The Iowa turret explosion was the result of the same situation where someone planned a dangerous test and operators left to carry it out were ignorant of the dangers as well as poorly trained
    21
  296.  @joshualance6005  something tells me the grunt that was issued this was probably not trusted with normal magazines
    20
  297. when you don't have a dozen generals and politicians telling you how to build your rifle then it can go together quite quickly
    20
  298. "This gun has 13 springs." also "This was the last gun this company ever made." Gee I wonder why? Probably that smudgy finish "It has ball bearings in the pistol under all the springs!" Oh wow.
    20
  299. Germany Builds 10 Battleships RN Builds 30 Battleships "So Senator Tillman, tell us about that battleship plan you had them design."
    20
  300. I'd love to see what oil from the 20s or even earlier would be like. 50s or 60s oil probably isn't going to be THAT bad
    20
  301. this thing is like a steam engine that spits bullets with those back and forth cams and the hydraulic buffer
    20
  302. "Terrifying and fascinating at the same time." The chump that would have had to fire the potentially explosive springfield might not think so.
    20
  303. Wth even Bush wouldn't go off topic this far
    20
  304. 44WarmocK77 not even a serial number on the screws, tsk tsk
    19
  305. buy a couple of sticks of dynamite at the corner store for that stump in the back yard while you're at it
    19
  306. probably didn't help that it's reputation went in the trash approximately around 1963
    19
  307. might be writing with a bit of hindsight like all those people who insist they knew the titanic was doomed
    19
  308.  Graham  What we have here today is a 100 caliber, brick. Produced in kilns across Ireland, this came out of the factory in many colors, sizes, and glazes. Today we'll discuss how to tell if your brick was weaponized from the factory or afterwords by Shamash.
    19
  309. I thought the only issue is 5.56 is essentially a hot loaded .223 meaning all the issues associated with hot rounds, but then there's hot loaded .223 out there these days anyways and there's certainly guns that are a bit overbuilt for .223 anyways
    19
  310. "He set up a shooting gallery in his office, making his coworker put up with the constant pinging." They got away with so much back then
    19
  311. ah but see batman updated the terms of service allowing him 100% access to their phones
    19
  312.  @Milan-zr6ie  Beep "I am the law! Beep
    19
  313.  @charlesadams1721  Per the Official History of the Great Patriotic War 1967 Edition "The aid from the United States was inconsiquential." ya the US basically lifted the USSR and they were totally ungrateful for it
    19
  314. a really well designed if ultimately unsuccessful gun, 3 piece disassembly seems pretty impressive
    18
  315. French Planners: "The worst thing that could happen is if we all get scattered!" What Happens: The French get scattered
    18
  316. William Terry sounds about as generic as James Bond
    18
  317. by the description they terrified the japanese so much they ran aground and swam away from the terrifying kiwis as there's little they could do other than hit them with the boat and shoot anyone trying to man the guns
    18
  318. the manufacturer knows the coefficient of thermal expansion of the specific polymer blend and would have reams and reams of data from quality testing and would probably have picked a polymer that expands at a rate similar to the metal to prevent fatigue and cracking
    18
  319. starfleethastanks they also had that wicked four engined flying wing bomber as well, guess they only had the one though...
    18
  320. I suppose the scuttle put out the fires before they did real structural damage and the area around midway had very little traffic in the decades following ww2 as it became less and less important
    18
  321. quite an interesting experience. The relationship between the US and Japan pre ww2 is not very well taught in schools or popular culture
    18
  322.  @LOL-zu1zr  when you fire you gotta shout "Daka daka daka!"
    18
  323. 25:04 "EGHAD! ITS Napoleon! SHOOT IT!" "sir...we're allied with the french." "right right....for now........"
    18
  324. @airborneleaf brace the gun against your leg, fire 1 handed. Not sure how the bottom trigger would work with it. Also this person could have been disabled and rich enough to commission a shotgun, but not rich enough to commission a good shotgun
    18
  325. almost seems like a return to the 1980s silicon on saphire tech
    18
  326. ya africa went to absolute shit in the 70s/80s because of so many factors but nobody seemed to do anything to stop it
    18
  327. "No one will be above the law." Man that statement didn't age well given how he constantly insists he is above the law
    18
  328. German Logic: Germany makes a fleet that to take down would make britain vulnerable to russia and france Germany Also: Gets russia, france and the british to ally with each other
    18
  329. "So can I get a few regular vickers for ground training?" "what's wrong with your air-cooled ones?" furious bureaucracy ensued
    18
  330. tactical miner's lamp
    18
  331. that is a very complicated topic that depends on a lot of things but also mainly just what kind of war you're involved in
    18
  332. Mongo63a its still very much a 1st generation smg, heavy, made of wood and machined metal, and expensive
    17
  333. really makes you question the history book take on ethiopia's military strength going into ww2
    17
  334. that or its not really part of the mission profile. the soviets never bothered much with noise dampening because they had more subs overall. if these are meant to patrol the south china sea, they might not have to worry about anti sub aircraft as much as the soviets in the north atlantic
    17
  335. Monte PR the NRA just need to stop being the face of the 2nd amendment period, they're just rediculous and always respond to any national tragedy with massive amounts of untrue scaremongering
    17
  336. 100 in the sun, 120 in the shade, 40 in Finland, no problems
    17
  337. Its kind of funny that I think Youtube and directly releasing your content to the audience is where those lean productions have gone.
    17
  338. man they reeeeeaaaally did not want to abandon ship
    17
  339. there's a couple hard scifi books I've read where they brought up the concept, usually the issue regarding it hitting someone someday is because there's traffic somewhere in their path, especially in the settings where railguns are more walls of dense projectiles instead of the big heavy shot flying at a fraction of C
    16
  340.  @Locutus494  its not like it couldn't have been prototyped in metal first, actually in metal this gun is probably a lot more reliable as the bolt has some heft to it
    16
  341. Sampoong kills 500 people: "We'll sign everything over and go to jail." Sacklers kill >50,000: "here's 1/4th of our wealth, we didn't do anything, we're not going to jail, we're also going to need immunity from charges." God bless freedomland because we can't seem to hold people accountable
    16
  342. I still keep getting notices for a car that I totalled a decade ago, kind of silly really.

  346. Even if the soviets hadn't been so comically bad at managing production, virtually everything in the country was stifled by the unwavering need to devote every last resource to defense spending
    16
  347. it looks like a g3 rifle if you told someone to build it from memory
    16
  348. bigger deal when 9x19 and 7.63 will both chamber but only one will work without exploding the gun
    16
  349.  @ScottKenny1978  he doesn't own this gun, its a review gun, he has to give it back at some point I think
    16
  350. for the pulsing rocket I think you were achieving too high of a pressure, thus it spiked, turned into a detonation, pressure dropped and it repeated
    16
  351.  @monkeylee4818  no, north Elbonia was the People's Democratic Republic of Elbonia, east Elbonia was the Democratic People's Republic of Elbonia, very different groups especially after the sino-soviet split, the PDRE went for Chinese arms while the DPRE stayed soviet
    16
  352. if we had only bombed the factory that made the wapinoff stamp, the germans would not have been able to use anything
    16
  353. James Healy like most of the problems with those guns were things not entirely related to the gun, belts and the delinker/feed system are usually most of the problem. also going into ww1 nobody expected to have to cycle hundreds of thousands of rounds through any single gun
    16
  354. both surviving jet-propeller prototypes left are in the dayton airforce museum, they're really crazy to look at
    16
  355. but 30s gangsters could come machinegunning down your door
    16
  356. that and just using a lathe to make a better lathe then using the better lathe to make a better lathe to make a better lathe to make a better lathe till you get a CNC machine
    16
  357. fact that these things work like revolvers is probably partially why they didn't catch on that much, revolvers were cheap (by this point) and offered basically the same performance
    16
  358. china has a very inefficient power grid and larger energy ecosystem, its working about as well as you'd expect if you took the US from the 1960s but added all the power hungry stuff from today, lots of individual AC units, lots of poorly insulated homes, factories, and buildings, and little to no efficiency standards
    15
  359. what you described could be a passage from The Jungle
    15
  360. yes, I suppose even the soviets realized they might want a safety on this cannon
    15
  361. I-1 "What is-" Kiwi rams them "Stop that this instant!" Kiwi rams them again "Seriously I'll do something if you don't-" Bonk "Staaaahhhp!"
    15
  362. thing looks like its been sitting in a pile of mud for most of the last 100 years
    15
  363. in this instance the reports focused on the actual weight not the output, this was a very large building
    15
  364. she's absolutely pushing ethics codes to the limit by continually insisting trump is an extra special boy
    15
  365. this is the first of these sort of systems to genuinely look like it may be adopted which is crazy considering the tens of billions spent on projects like it over the last 50 years
    15
  366. I can really see why this failed hard. in a setting where nobody has guns, sure it works, but in the US where you could buy guns through catalogues back then, ya this was just sub par
    15
  367. Dracopol there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant in a world of one unified government.... also most of the veterans are horribly maimed anyways, they are fighting 15 foot tall killer bugs after all.

  368.  @nonomnismoriar9601  the ENIAC would like to beep angrily at you
    15
  369. The government really needs to fund electrifying some of the main cargo lines, our 3 big rail freight operators certainly won't ever even try, even though its constantly being shown it will pay for itself especially in high fuel cost years. the high up front cost is always the limiting factor even though once you have the lines and trainsets you're running for pennies on the mile for fuel
    15
  370. Down with colonialism, Elbonia forever! also terrible small arms
    15
  371. "It feels so great like we're going to conquer Taiwan shortly" Maybe she should take a trip to Ukraine and feel the steel rain if she wants to know what conquering feels like
    15
  372.  @rockbutcher  my uncle worked on helicopters in the vietnam era, even if he did have hearing protection, he probably didn't wear it. he's deaf as a rock worked with another vietnam vet who was on a destroyer and had a lot of hearing loss as well
    15
  373. factory managers aren't exactly in ivory towers under a fascist government
    14
  374. it worked for Chuck Yeager
    14
  375.  @Dead_Pool_Rising  they had a corbray street sweeper in the one sequence where replicators took over the mountain, its funny because he had a chance to rid the world of one more of those by throwing it at them

  377. germany circa early panzershrek: no faceplate needed!
    14
  378. "Theres a debate about nationalism vs patriotism" Is that just Jack Johnson and John Jackson shouting at each other because those are synonyms...
    14
  379. they hadn't been fighting with bows and swords for like 60 years before ww2 and even before that they had plenty of guns, just some people didn't get the hint, and they got into building warships about the same time as everybody else got into building dreadnoughts, so nobody really had an all out engineering advantage. Their main problem was that the economy that could sustain a pre-ww1 ship building spree utterly collapsed in the post ww1 years due to natural disasters, massive political instability, and that double edged sword of a military industrial complex that drains all the funds for everything else and leaves your normal economy withered especially when half your industrial base got wiped out by a tsunami
    14
  380. depends if its a door you're trying to stop
    14
  381. love how again and again nobody remembered that their fire control guys absolutely needed clear lines of sight to figure out shell hits, so they kept putting the masts behind the funnels
    14
  382. hopefully something about listening to the radar guys who seemed to be able time and again to see the raids but not get anyone to do anything about them
    14
  383.  @demonprinces17  tbf, Reagan reactivated too many hulls just to have a paper navy of extremely obsolete hulls requiring a decade or more of upgrading just to get them to modern standards instead of spending that money on the ships the navy needed for the future.
    14
  384. recently they purchased several large drones, upon arrival the airforce was suprised to find in the crates, several large sheets of craft paper and nothing else
    14
  385. there's a reason why though, most of these don't really confer any advantage. their jet powered wing bombers would have been dangerously unstable, these forward swept wings would be very difficult to make
    14
  386. wolf warrior diplomacy always seems to backfire in the most interesting ways with China because their diplomats never know when to rein it in
    13
  387.  @Reactordrone  how to nazi proof your magazine? use SAE measurements.
    13
  388. one area where the western philosophy seems unequivocally better is our focus on situational awareness. the ussr just believed that they'd have enough tanks in the field at once to identify targets and support each other, but once you're not doing that your soviet designed tanks have very poor situational awareness
    13
  389. seems a bit disingenuous, the technology was purposfully killed to prevent any actual development that might have made it reliable. these arguments about failure are almost exactly the same arguments m14 salesmen had about the ar15, or the bolt action guys had about self loading rifles, or the black powder guys had about bolt actions. this could have been developed into something but never got past the technology demonstrator. this is 2005 technology, we have much smaller much more robust electronics today that could make this work given time
    13
  390. the devil went down to fox, these guys can't handle their own media bashing
    13
  391. i mean its also esoteric german machining at its best too. Every subtle change in the machining has seemingly been meticulously documented by collectors and assigned a group

    13
  395.  @justaguynamedmax8207  its quite a bit more complicated today than even 50 years ago. every now and then a presidential candidate prattles on about a 300,400,500 ship navy but even regan wasting cash to reactivate every floating hull in the 80s couldn't make an effective force
    13
  396.  @MarvinCZ  na the US is right behind germany with our love of paperwork, the scale of the war time government is like on par with the size of the government today. The Pentagon back then didn't have enough office space
    13
  397. probably a sync issue, just like if you pointed a camera at a propeller
    13
  398.  @wierdalien1  open bolt semi auto makes sense as a cheap self loading carbine but that's where they ran out of sense
    13
  399. 1:02:00 developing shells was a lot more difficult than making guns back then, they had very primitive equipment to analyze the shells performance and tweek parameters outside of "make it harder, make it heavier"
    13
  400. Very interesting fight, Browning was by far probably a better gunsmith, but Maxim was an incredibly clever guy too since he did build a black powder machinegun
    13
  401. there's just so many stupid decisions that went into that fire, there's a lot to cover, most of them revolving around treating workers much the same way amazon does but without government regulations saying you have to do things like give them stairways and fire doors

  406. the memes continue
    12
  407.  @arya31ful  it catches fire during flight, it catches fire during fueling, it catches fire during transport, it catches fire when the technicians look at it, it catches fire just because it wants to and nobody's gonna tell it otherwise
    12
  408. a lot of the british empire was the government writing a letter saying something like "It is absolutely essential not to do A Thing!" while their expeditionary commander is writing his own letter saying "your majesty, I have done A Thing, you now own this land."
    12
  409. Haven't you shown before though that the m1's magazine wasn't unreliable as much as it was semi-disposable
    12
  410.  @ablethreefourbravo  its absolutely true but the US was not unified enough nor had any real need to be outwardly expansive when we had half a continent still unsettled
    12
  411. counterpoint with torpedoes being so expensive the IJN was lucky this thing wasn't at Guadalcanal because 1 broadside and 1 reload would be not trivial fraction of their torpedo stocks
    12
  412. its an understatement to say the french could make curved armored plate in that period. I'm not sure they even could concieve of making a flat piece of armor
    12
  413.  @joshkamp7499  problem is these systems tended not to work all that well, and paradoxically had too much capacity so it was near impossible to reload it expediently
    12
  414. Meanwhile the Union is frantically transmitting the STCs for the Monitor ships to their various forge cities
    12
  415. ya, and that's if there isn't some process that requires engineered materials, like say doped silica which they're not going to be able to replicate it at their scale as you need a special electron gun or nuclear reactor to generate that stuff the only analogue we have for nanobots is bacteria and there isn't any bacteria that grows completely out of control
    12
  416. glass reinforced nylon, golden annodized aluminum, futuristic plastic metal construction, very squeeky spring...
    12
  417. they do make brineing and pickeling salt, which generally is a bit more coarse than your box cooking salt for this reason (though its also made that way just to get rid of garbage salt so...)
    12
  418. he didn't even mention that the report says several beams were compromised as well to put the escalator banks in and later retrofitting for fire code
    12
  419. Sean Henry to be fair, everybody's always after their picklehabs so they're justified
    12
  420. its not the debt from the post war boom its the shrinking of the economy and its growth. italy and many of the western european countries had double didget gdp growth for that period of the 50s and 60s before grinding to a halt and shrinking down to anemic levels for decades
    12
  421. The Linux Gamer its allowed to refuse service for things it doesn't agree with. in this case anything that isn't LGBT

  423. could have been a compensator-to-be but not actually drilles depending on how finished this prototype was
    11
  424. ah yes, desert camo, quite useful for the hinterlands of Ukraine
    11
  425.  @L0stEngineer  well as drach has explained before, the british navy in the 18800s was astoundingly large and most US shipping was not ocean going so we lacked lots of projection
    11
  426. I mean, if we're going to put future weapons into play, Yamato vs Iowa, the Iowa is gonna have a hard time dealing with Yamato's Wave Motion Gun which its going to be equipped with sometime at the end of the next century

  427.  @unhippy1  the sa80 was margret thatcher corrution and privatization of government companies.

  430. really sucks when you hear of a tall ship like that making it to almost 1920, it almost made it to where we'd have preserved it

    11
  432. ah good ol' amazon, pushing consumer safety back 50 years since 1999
    11
  433.  @kristinaF54  russia doesn't have the internal pipeline infrastructure to send gas from one side of russia to another, the european facing gas fields can't easily be made to send that gas to the southern/china facing gas fields especially without western investment and involvement
    11
  434. US Naval Policy from 1776 to 1895: "Start from scratch each time because navies are expensive." US Naval Policy from 1895 onwards: "Huh this empire thing is kinda fun..."
    11
  435.  @loquat4440  hope you like your global economy because saying "Fuck europe" would very quickly fuck us in the states given that europe is a good third of the global economy also NATO pays a hell of a lot more than certain politicians insist they do, like free land practically wherever we want in europe for military use
    11
  436. this thing probably falls under SBR rules, but putting a bigger barrel on it probably wouldn't kill it
    11
  437. Scooby Doo and the mystery of the self-loading rifle, It was old man browning all along!
    11
  438. less drilled forces as well. soviet forces were at least expected to be fairly well trained and not do stupid things but your middle east army lacked the resources to maintain a large professional force or their standing forces were used more for internal security. they go to war with little training and troops that aren't used to operating together
    11
  439. amazing how close this is to ww1 fought 200 years later
    11
  440. really a weird time when you find debates on the design of battleships in the local paper. Imagine the scandal the Zimwalt would have caused with its completely useless guns because the navy can't/won't buy ammo for it
    11
  441. TheGoldenCaulk these guns weren't exactly expected to last the 10-20, let alone the 50 years guns in most arsenals have to endure. Stamped guns are really just a piece of wartime production, plus germans used really thin steel which made the guns subceptable to all sorts of stress problems
    11
  442. I like how one of its problems was it'd be carrying around 1/4th of the Airforce's deployable nuclear arsenal at any given time, in a single, crashable, plane. One time where too much capacity hurt the thing
    11
  443. The Great Eastern is one ship I wish someone had just bought and kept through to the modern day because she was a one of a kind ship that should be around today appreciated as the engineering marvel it truely was
    11
  444. I'm not sure design and manufacture cost all that much, these were just cobbled together, and from spares no less
    11
  445. Stereotypical French Laughter

    11
  447. just funny how back then you could be a doctor and run a munitions factory
    11
  448. kind of the unique thing you only can do with a tank. no other weapon system lets you drive a large piece of artillery up to the enemy, fire, and duck back under cover before they know what hit them, and move as fast
    11
  449. might as well have given a nuclear source to cavemen

    10
  454. there probably would be a great use for these things in confidential data transfer, like you could give someone a disk with a presentation on it and it would erase itself after a couple days but other than that really niche use its a terrible idea
    10
  455. 10:46 ya I guess we forgot that farmers not only grew grain for people but also for the engines of society, livestock and draft animals which basically disappeared entirely by the end of the 1920s
    10

  460. stuff and sometimes the odd vampire
    10
  461. everything I see of the USSR always makes me wonder what would have happened if it wasn't organized into a backwards oppressive empire, out of a backwards oppressive empire like they just ignored economics at every level and used the boot for everything and nearly every industry revolved around military spending look at china today, they have much of the government boot but they used it to gut foreign industries to juice their economy
    10
  462.  @johnanon6938  you can't even carry on 20 lbs of luggage today irregardless of its lethality
    10
  463. short answer, maybe because non-edible foods will lead to lower overall food consumption, but it will also lower demand for food over time.
    10
  464. there was a story once that alleged the Airforce sent like 5 b-2 bombers over some sky watcher guy's house just to mess with him
    10

    10
  469. instructions unclear, My factory makes washing machines, traktor model 4, nuclear missile guidance systems and for some reason something called a soft-serve machine, we are not sure what this is used for
    10
  470.  @checker297  you only need to refuel a nuclear sub like once, or in the case of more modern designs, never. refitting might be more difficult but I think france and austrailia could have worked out how to build the local infrastructure needed to maintain the new nukes. the problem is austrailia has basically committed to delaying new submarines until at least the mid 2030s. Australia needs to work right now to start building up a nuclear knowledge base
    10
  471. that or just pure shnadenfreud with the army insisting these are the guns he was sent to purchase, not those mausers
    10
  472.  @P943044S  that's kinda the point the mark 2 was "Oh god we only have the plumbers left!" gun
    10
  473. its failings are made worse because US ordinance boards wouldn't even look at a FAL unless it was 7.62, so they changed the FAL to fire the bigger round to get the US on board and then we didn't even do that. The FAL could have been in a modern caliber as adopted but the m14 screwed that up too
    10
  474. have you ever actually seen the inside of a backpack? no that's your mind projecting to protect your sanity, its really an infinite empty dimension

  476.  @BeaverChainsaw  and the last point wasn't even like an 18th century thing, the british deliberately caused massive famine in india during ww2 by increasing their mandatory exports of foodstuffs while the continent was experiencing a massive drought
    10
  477. or an outrageous french accent!
    10
  478. I'd like to say the soviets by the 1960s had worked out how to cross a river without having to worry about a bridge but we've seen Russia is still working on that...

  491. probably less glamorous than you think. they likely bought it in the 1990s

  492. "The shuttle's engines wouldn't have engaged until after it seperated from the booster" so basically magic since the main engines of the shuttle absolutely needed the tank, because it had no internal fuel tanks

  496.  @sullivanrachael  ya I think the problem with dramatic changes was that you'd have to get plans, jigs, samples, and gauges out to the factories as well as any new equipment and training each time you wanted to do a dramatic modification like that

    9
  504. yes you can! Just get rid of regulations and taxation, and give more money to the rich, somehow this will fix everything for everybody
    9
  505. as someone who went to one of those universities which had huge defense contracts, it wasn't at least to me the defense spending but that the university seemed to prioritize the R&D over actual opportunities for students and the facilities for students. We had 60 year old labs and crappy equipment while the university was building a state of the art facility for GE just down the road and had literally an entire second campus just for the research groups

  510. "Then the aviation group piped up about it being too small for modern planes." Oh that's not gonna be a problem soon enough
    9
  511. At some point when you're carrying a bucket full of molten plastic explosives outside to pour it into an upturned howitzer, you've got to ask yourself "How did I get here?"
    9
  512. really interesting seeing the way the fuel actually injects into the engine and what the rapid changes in pressure and flow does to that mixture. its quite amazing that we manage to control such a dynamic system
    9
  513. "Magazine explosions, what're those?"
    9
  514. "Look mein fuher I have a weapon that will win the war for good! now If I can have 600 tons of tungsten, 50,000 tons of copper, 4 million liters of gasoline...

  516.  @0w784g  imagine a recession but you never recover, thats where britain is
    8
  517. that's pretty much the entirity of semiconductor manufacturing though. the actual production is more than anything else almost entirely automated, but the workers monitor or fix the equipment
    8
  518. I'm not sure may and adam are compatible but it'd be entertaining to say the least.
    8
  519.  @QuestionEverything-qp6kw  unfortunately with the clock being only 4 years, the limited time for a person installed temporarily should be days, if not only a handful of weeks not the 24-48 months that they can pull with the current 'rules'
    8
  520. seems like he was trying to work around black powder fouling but then smokeless came around
    8
  521. there was a lot of german smgs being used by tankers, though I read an anicdote that one tried equipping an mg40 and almost got shot up by friendly troops out of instinct so ditched that
    8
  522.  @colincampbell767  green energy is not, has not been, and isn't going to be texas's problem, they have a massive sprawling population and refuse to do anything long term like lowering energy consumption, connecting their grid to out-of-state generators, or do anything to reduce urban-heating feedback. there's plenty of spare on demand generation capacity in the country, its just they're trying to let the magical free market deal with long term planning, also its a bit ironic complaining about supposed green energy corruption when every politician in texas is deeply in the pocket of big oil
    8
  523. seems like the problem was more there were specifically bad revolving rifles (some ian has featured!) that gave the whole class a bad name. there is legitimate concern about how to hold it though, but that's more drill and training
    8
  524.  @kevinsullivan3448  I think I remember from a book on the subject that the paddle wheels also aided it too since they could lay cable off the stern without using the propeller
    8
  525. The one thing you could appreciate about AT&T vs the crappy ISPs we have today is they plowed money back into their network constantly, not the piddly few percents of profit the current ISPs do
    8
  526. no, spain didn't recognize international copyright just national copyright so you could just make copies of anything in spain, now selling those things elsewhere was where people would have gotten in trouble
    8
  527. 3:40 its an aircraft carrier with side pipes
    8
  528.  @ianmacfarlane1241  plus all the disinformation regarding nukes back then, these were simple fishermen, even PHD scientists were being misdirected by governments trying to downplay the effects of nuclear weapons
    8
  529. ​ @nigelmchugh5541  idk the belgians seem to know have a pretty good idea of how to make guns
    8
  530.  @CIDILIABRA  Aztec Mythology: "Hold my bloody sacrifice."

  531. "Hey I know, lets run the reactor with no coolant!" "You're fired."
    8
  532.  @brettsalling  if they had scrammed early in the disaster, let the reactor cool off and reset they could have later brought it up to power
    8
  533. goes to show that even a very controlled closed system like this has edge cases where things fail spectacularly
    8
  534. gotta love the spite that went into these. I love the look of tubular pistols all around
    8
  535. french, offensive, noo noo sir!
    8
  536. its like they looked at this thing and said "Nein, it must have more machining time!" so they made the threads finer and longer
    8
  537. part of me is hopeful this time they do the right thing, but the other part knows that texas has said they care about that ship more than a few times without doing anything to ensure its future survival
    8
  538. you can kind of see what they were going for if you put it in terms of a howitzer in an armored box that happens to be ontop of a tank. an SPG has the gun integrated into the vehicle such that it usually sticks down into the hull
    8
  539. there could be a series of shorts on the stories behind the firsts, like the first trans atlantic flight was much more crazy than what Lindenberg did
    8
  540. An example of when someone patent scummed so hard they actually screwed themselves
    8
  541. al the buffer is clearly not working all that much and the bolt is maintaining a lot of inertia and is bouncing off the back of the receiver instead of coming neatly to a stop and being brought forward by the spring. So the thing speeds up as it goes along
    8
  542. can't be the worst gun there because I'm pretty sure Karl brought a worse gun which literally can't hit anything
    8
  543. more likely someone has one in a collection and has the money and time to write the ATF a nasty letter. like Ian said, nobody is really sure how many exist
    8
  544. I think we have the technology today and do this but not really in the 1990s and if we did we probably weren't using it on Georgia, as we had a bit more of a problem in Kazakhstan and Ukraine
    8
  545. I hate how repeatidly we only ever seem to be able to consider 2 options, crippling austerity or debt, we have no way to raise revenue ever apparently at least the current crop of legislative clowns believe so
    8
  546.  @natedunlop1631  there has been some machine guns focused on ultra high fire rate that tried that. The issue is as always, what to do with the excess heat you're normally dumping out the barrel with a case, and is it really worth it.
    8
  547. I swear they just set up a tape recorder in JK Simon's house and use whatever crazy stuff he says
    8
  548. italy, always 10 years early to every war and 10 years out of date when it happens
    8
  549. neil never took a picture of himself but there are pictures of him reflected on buzz's helmet
    8
  550. ya I worked for a group that did this, they fired the one HR guy that actually went to management about a health and safety issue, got a pair of people who acted like 'da law' and it got to the point that everybody knew not to go to HR because they'd fire you instead of do anything
    8
  551. to be technical, it predates the current US which was founded on 1788 with the ratification of the constitution replacing the articles of confederation, but in practice we just celebrate the 1776 declaration of independence instead kind of like how we rarely lump in the presidents from before the creation of the constitution even though they had the title of president of the united states
    8
  552. sadly he parted ways with his vickers a few years back
    8
  553. "Look he's stolen the indian ocean." lol
    8
  554. it was really really hard to just march from nowhere to nowhere and fight an entire battle. Sherman's march is about as far as Napoleon's march to moscow and these guys were just walking through woods and fields
    8
  555.  @scoutmaster33  microchips would be impossible with 1940s era tech, however things like stand alone transistors would be easy to replicate especially since ww2 was pretty much the sole reason why it wasn't created earlier
    8
  556. ​ @mrmors1344  my guess is they'll br going to ukraine which is sort of ironic
    8
  557. you know though, I think if King caught him he'd understand but also still beat the shit out of him
    8
  558.  @milamber319  ball bearings can be accurately made and sorted using fairly simple machinery
    8
  559.  @johndododoe1411  probably because its a piano that can be used to directly record digital tracks instead of needing to pickup the audio somehow

  560. "Get closer so we can use all the AA guns!"

  561. "FIRING!" doink "RELOAD RELOAD RELOAD!"
    7
  562. tbf, when isn't there an ammunition shortage
    7
  563. the innovation with WeWork was that they would allow employers to shift the costs of managing a physical office to the employees, without giving them a say in it. Now those same employees want to work from home, and the employers are pissed.
    7
  564. Imagine, a wooooorrrld without zinc!
    7
  565. man the last part is depressing. theres so much work that must be done to finally contain this but the reactor, its facilities, everything lay inside an active warzone with Russia raiding the exclusion zone periodically
    7
  566. the only issue, and its more of a really old gun issue, is that nickel finish eventually fades really bad
    7
  567. its really well made for a one-off though
    7
  568. beryle's story is longer and way more insane than a simple comment can cover but he basically joined the red army after escaping from germans, then kept going until he was too wounded to keep fighting. he's actually celebrated in the war museum in moscow which is impressive for an american
    7
  569. probably more ironic the f1 people did actually drive compared to any of their later cars since they were expensive but not that expensive
    7
  570. something worth nothing has managed to stay worth nothing
    7
  571. the M1 kind of makes sense, there's still some svt's kicking around, so the m1 is just a bit older
    7
  572. "Went into germany" with guns blazing
    7
  573. I went from being recognized for critical for getting my company several large new business opportunites to being told I was the worst employee they had in the span of 2 weeks because they wanted me to quit or fire me so they didn't need to pay Unemployment, unfortunately that backfired
    7
  574. Having listened to Lions Lead by Donkeys episode on Georgia, I'm actually shocked they had the resources to even find the radioactive materials
    7
  575. don't count on it. the further we are from the supply chain crisis without reforms the less and less chances lessons and changes are learned and implimented
    7
  576. Having worked in enough manufacturing environments, they will especially if the work is stable, routine, and have good pay. long hours and thus OT are something that either people love or loath, and the ones that hate it find their way out.
    7
  577. idk, jmb was more of a mechanics guy, he left the manufacturability to his partners. He'd certainly be messing around with a lot of different locking mechanisms and using high speed cameras
    7
  578. half the problem with the osprey was that they couldn't build a gearbox capable of handling the tilting rotors, the other half of the problem with the osprey was tilting and rotating both of the engines because they couldn't build a gearbox capable of handling the tilting rotors. Now that we've been able to build such a gearbox, Bell built a completely new tilt rotor plane/craft in less than 5 years
    7
  579. Seems like a funny counter to Han's C96 based blaster.
    7
  580. well... its not exactly like the allies had much of a choice on the environment, it was either break the axis or go down one by one, though the manhatten project really could have been a bit more careful with their nuclear materials
    7
  581. "Companies can afford to pay fewer workers more money" this didn't work out in the West for some reason. we're doing more work but never got that pay raise
    7
  582. "Wave of nationalism" doesn't do it credit. this looks like a great book though especially with just how many examples of bizarre organizational swords you cited
    7
  583. What a concept, a president that represents all of americans not just the ones that voted for him...
    7
  584.  @florians9949  doubtful, in a lot of these cases the actors in question are more interested in the abstract concept of an emperor or a king, instead of the actual person. If the japanese emperor stood opposed to the militants in the 20s, they'd have just branded him as a softened by western ideologies, and found another 'true' replacement for him from the royal family who could have kept quiet and let them work. this still happens today sadly.
    7
  585. pluto is not a pistol
    7
  586. oooh its not good to hide stuff on discovery it usually doesn't end well
    7
  587.  @Ry_TSG  icbms contain many decoy systems specifically designed to confuse radar systems and detection systems. Even the best system can't figure out which of the 10-20 RVs is an actual warhead
    7
  588. still surprises me that nobody thought of plywood furniture except the germans who had no real choice.
    7
  589. probably somehow, those armored russian trains from the pre-revolution era. their ministers may be corrupt but they're amazing at obtaining what they want.
    7
  590. he did it several times already and still never said he was wrong
    7
  591.  @Snow-rk9sh  go look for the unedited video of his last attempt and tell me he survives that, the rocket hits the ground without a parachute
    7
  592.  @jack1701e  tbf, itd be easier to fix up the turpitz than it would be to fix up yamato given how she went down
    7
  593. there were like a dozen guidance and firing system issues that had to be resolved. the best interum solution was to just switch to contact detonators and set the depth settings to run as high as possible
    7
  594. or when they ran into a technological hurdle they would go with the current state of the art and make it work, like the RATAN600 or the Duga Radar system which used older technology in their construction but made up for it in size and lateral thinking
    7
  595. and to their credit, the bomb range had been blowing things up and setting off blasts like that for decades and never had any issues, this was an issue that could have happened from any sort of explosion, so the range was actually expanded a bit to fix this
    7
  596. Something about this particular example of this gun being outdated when it was new seems totally relevant today still
    7
  597. no that was the alaskas
    7
  598.  @barttorbert5031  the problems are not intuitive and often are just bizarre like a tiny sliver of metal being the difference between full function or garbage
    7
  599. something 'bout the precision and quad-eratics
    7
  600. Its like anything the germans did in the atlantic the US was doing in the pacific
    7
  601. concept yes, but there's been concepts for nuclear powered cars, both wouldn't get past any sort of practical design phase. There's a more realistic concept of requiring an officer to wear a ring with the rf tag in it, and people who opposed even that said what if the person uses the officer's hand to shoot him, which is like....again beyond what you could ever design around
    7
  602. probably a lot of pharohs given their 1-20ish average rule and the couple thousand year institution of the pharoh
    7
  603. stoner was right in at the death-knell of the old arsenal system
    7
  604. paint ship red in blood of enemy, also add moar dakka!
    7
  605. tbf a panther 4 and a tiger look awfully similar down the sights of your sherman
    7
  606. OvertravelX don't forget to make it a simple blowback regardless of the caliber. .45 blowback? no problem!
    6
  607. they would probably have used fairly minimal amounts of machining to do this but you would be hard pressed to see any sort of differences between old machining and older machining they didn't blue it either
    6
  608. 1950s as well: Nuclear fission and fusion will provide limitless energy 2050: Wobbley tubemen everywhere
    6
  609. Germany had a similar thing in ww2, they had older subs that could use their larger stocks of obsolete torpedoes while their newest subs were being choked for munitions by bombing
    6
  610. its perfect for the discerning crowbar wielding theoretical physicist
    6
  611. I'm curious as to why you didn't try using some of those elastic polymers with a 3d printed shell for this since most hybrid rockets are some form of rubber in a casing, also they tend to use a star shape center cutout
    6
  612. ya but also the brits were persistently 40 years behind the time with .303
    6
  613. Kuzenetsov might be a bit peeved how his namesake ship turned out too
    6
  614. one can imagine the wonder on the GI's face when they found a german pistol that fired a real cartridge.
    6
  615. ​ @jamesbridges7750  my favorite is firing the rail cops then complaining to the regular cops about theft as if they expect regular cops to go onto rail property and patrol around all these rather dangerous moving vehicles
    6
  616. goddang Brunel never did things half-assed, the SS Great Britain had a bit of a role in both world wars, refueling the british fleet in this occasion, and used for iron plate to repair the HMS Exeter in ww2
    6
  617. goes to fire, mag drops instead lfmao
    6
  618. if the symptoms of severe glaucoma or phantom limb syndrome are guides, you'd be swimming in hallucinations and false sensory feedback since the brain isn't capable of shutting off those parts when the limbs/nerves fail, so they just go crazy
    6
  619. "What's a pre dreadnought look like?" just go watch any hayo miazaki movie with big war machines, that'll give you a clue
    6
  620. the problem is everybody was lying about their production numbers so you could have created an internet of sorts but none of the physical stuff would have arrived on time
    6
  621. its 1940, switzerland is not exactly in a position to be exporting much of anything
    6
  622. tbf, even today its just wood, water, and a lot of free time on the great lakes
    6
  623. 360 degrees, to shoot the enemy, and cowards alike
    6
  624. @Perry Elyod Too bad the manual in some teslas is in a compartment you can't just open without reading the manual
    6
  625. "You're going to use what?"
    6
  626. there's just something absolutely silly about a semiautomatic rifle with 100 rounds on tap. it just goes and goes and goes and goes
    6
  627. tbf most ships sink to too much fire or water, the gas one was an anomaly
    6
  628. its people who graduated HS in the 1970s that are causing this
    6
  629. "Somewhere between all of it and none of it!"
    6
  630. At least with the US its probably gonna be because we've kept the spec the same so we can use older torpedoes with newer ones, because we've had a shipload of mark 14,15 and 18's sitting around
    6
  631. well, it is a research reactor
    6
  632. "Yes Mr. Ross, jolly good show but you see you are canadian and not sufficiently british british so therefore we cannot accept this rifle and ammunition. Good day." -Some British Lord in charge of Ordinance
    6
  633.  @Ten_Mil_Will  sudden impact is a dirty hairy movie
    6
  634. its amazing that in such horrendous weather they still decided its a perfectly good time for a naval battle
    6
  635. "Its portable airconditioning!" *Just add ice/water Meanwhile at Sony "Its a TEC you put on your back where we believe its the most effective."
    6
  636. but florida is a shining example to the rest of america
    6
  637. and ironically killed in its day because of a stupid requirement for an exposed barrel
    6
  638. cas its got a red dot sight, that makes it more accurate
    6
  639.  @itatane  the wear ian talked about is something you can't reproduce from machining and manufacturing. springs are exceedingly expensive to make in anything but coils or flats, but this just shows that any of these guns won't get worse with age
    6
  640. 3:20 just stick a t34 turret on the boat
    6
  641. its a good book, but its a bit british-centric
    6
  642. I think he did a larger video on stens a while back but there was the "last ditch" sten, the "not quite last ditch" sten and the "well we're not being bombed every night so we can put some more thought into it" sten
    6
  643.  @tjroelsma  in fallout new vegas the 12.7mm pistol is basically a large version of this, it even has the same barrel nut
    6
  644. people also are largely unaware that the bulk of this war is static trenches especially along the eastern front
    6
  645. @Lost_Achaean  ww2 allied tank losses are greatly exagerated by a quirk of the reporting back then where a tank that was not combat capable for any reason was counted as a loss, even if it was just a tank that blew a transmission
    6
  646. some of the problem with black paint is actually climate control, especially on larger planes where you're talking about hundreds of square meters of surface absorbing way more IR than those with white paint
    6
  647. ya its called spec-ops
    6
  648. I like how he didn't exactly say no, but couldn't exactly say yes
    6
  649.  @poiiop2626  its not even that far off from workers in the US, especially the older guys. I haven't seen it personally but every place I've worked in always has had that guy that jammed the interlocks to use the equipment faster and gets caught
    6
  650. without knowing it I would think someone painted that gun due to the very dull nickel plating
    6
  651. the jump between consumer and commercial 3d printers is huge, even as both are getting better and better in capacity
    6
  652.  @meckhardt2112  na, 8mm mauser would be too standard, 10mm wauser is more like it.
    6
  653. sadly these days there's more than a few lawyers out there being completely dishonest and dragging down their whole profession
    6
  654. hard mode: its the .30-06 version
    6
  655. my guess is if a cruiser got into a fight you wanted to have several salvos of torpedoes at the ready because reloading torpedo launchers under fire is quite dangerous compared to gun mounts, i don't think they intended to launch 16 torpedoes all at once, that would have been insanely expensive and they wouldn't have had many reloads on board
    6
  656. as far as safeties go it looks actually like one of the better early smg safeties
    6
  657.  @MandoWookie  kinda shows how torpedoes were already ruling the waves when a swarm of pretty much obsolete biplanes with torpedoes could cripple a battleship, though even by then unescorted lone battleships were not a terribly smart idea either, though like everything about ww2's naval fight, the pacific just took that to a massive scale
    6
  658. Ian has built several AKs himself before, he mentioned as much in a Q&A video, and he was quite sure this thing was dangerous
    6
  659. its the smg before anyone knew they wanted an smg
    6
  660. I think you did a video on war plan red but I still would like to point out the incredibly crazy battle for the atlantic a USN vs RN fight would have been given the US and RN were both unprepared in their own ways plus the hilarity the US invading, occupying, annexing, and then rapidly creating states out of canada would have been
    6
  661. Ya in the case of something like an airplane that if improperly serviced will almost certainly result in a fatality then it makes sense to require certified technicians, but in the case of boats, your average boat owner isn't going to be able to cause a fatality from having their engine die while on the water.
    6
  662. Paul K french arsenal made so non-commercial to begin with
    5
  663. the swiss tried to make a gun cheaper? gasp
    5
  664. graphite also burns in an oxygenated environment, though the soviets used nitrogen oxygen in their stuff so not really as much of a problem there
    5
  665. B they're still used for swat or urban assault situations where overpenetration and size are cons, and theyve been used by special protection services like the secret service because you can easily conceal them and they can lay down a lot of suppressive fire which is good in their case
    5
  666. I wasn't so interested in the other books but this one looks amazing
    5
  667. in more ways than one, today everybody wants the AR to do everything and everything to look like an AR, colt was just 40 years ahead of the curve
    5
  668. talking to a camera while talking with a guy next to you is awkward especially since they can't turn to see each other
    5
  669. blokes in sheds, british technology is always blokes in sheds
    5
  670.  @m0314700308891515  makes you sleep great knowing china has more nuclear infrastructure than japan and are a hell of a lot worse than japan in every regard that caused this incident
    5
  671. Robert Kelley the striker might not work. its designed for the much more sensative percussion caps and it looks quite broad too. I'd say if you weren't opposed to modifying the striker or replacing it with one it might work, but the extractor might also have a problem too
    5
  672.  @osmacar5331  maybe just maybe the group you coincidentally don't agree with isn't to blame for the shit happening in the country or world. maybe those leftists are making a stink because they actually have a legitimate reason, maybe they shouldn't be dismissed, scapegoated, and given nothing but disdain especially when the other side constantly drones on about stopping tyranny, the kind the leftist liberals are seething mad about.
    5
  673.  @L3GN5RW9  sure, ideas like the superiority of the white race and the need to fight the scourge of international liberalism You can have an open exchange of ideas and have content moderation
    5
  674. the magnetic exploder could be forgiven, geomagnatism wouldn't really be well understood till much later, but the fact that nobody bothered to just DROP THE DAMN THINGS off a tower in 20 years of development was an absolute sin, they would have found the flaws with the contact detonator by that testing alone
    5
  675. real wonder what the US civil war would have been like with these. sticking to mostly rifled muzzle loaders was a deliberate choice
    5
  676.  @kentvesser9484  I blame the Paton movie /books for most of that, everybody remembers the speech in front of the flag backdrop
    5
  677. everybody wanted a gun duel but the problem is you need those ships as defense for other fleet assets, and this is where battleships found themselves in ww2, too expensive to toss away
    5
  678. possibly just made before he changed
    5
  679. ya 1938 wasn't gonna be a great year to startup production in Czechoslovakia
    5
  680. omg their new theory is that church and state should in fact not be seperated, and the state should be melded by the chuch, also apparently its put forth by "young conservatives" who happen to be all in their 60s
    5
  681. steel should be a thing every country maintains some level of domestic production of but having that owned by foreign owners is not a great way to do that
    5
  682. the term is fluid defense, instead of a static line, or several fall back lines, you have small defensive positions and a highly mobile defensive force that can respond to where the assault is then redeploy to other assaults

  683. The Private sector switcheroo is such a simplistic solution for everything that purposefully allows you to ignore the true costs. My city's schools were taken over by the state and they privatized everything, now all their service personnel are sub contractors of sub contractors of sub contractors, since even menial janitorial jobs do have a floor to labor costs, they have to be paying nearly the same in administration costs to all those different companies before those dollars even reach the worker

  690. "They'd send you rocket fuel in the mail!" I know this sounds dangerous but I've had a box plastered in "Caution, radioactive" stickers, fed-ex'd to me overnight without any issues by a chemist who should have known better, and a 50lb box of lithium batteries sent through airmail because the sender didn't care to do the paperwork for hazardous shipments
    5
  691.  @bkjeong4302  Iowas make sense when your potential enemies have 65,000 ton battleships kicking around your back yard., not only that but they were invaluable in the early stages of the war when ships did engage in battle lines without significant air elements

  698. i remember an old teacher whining about how she can't use a modern furnace without power (they used to have these things called greenwitch switches which bypassed the safeties) but then she didn't seem to care that that electrical power keeps her furnace from blowing up, melting, or do a dozen other not-good-for-her things

  703. almost like a single infusion of funds and only 6 years to implement new business strategies was not enough. Imagine if we had given oil the same cold shoulder, we'd probably still be using electric trains to get around. instead its Energy Dominance and all the oil grift that comes with it

    5
  710.  @Riceball01  tbf the way troops were trained and drilled back then did cause large amounts of wasted ammo when under pressure. at the battle of The Rosebud (the prequel to Little Bighorn) the american troops acting on instinct dumped ammo on the ground in front of them in anticipation of rapid fire only to have to leave that ammo behind due to rapidly being routed. they 'used' something like 25,000 rounds of ammunition for a few dozen dead on both sides. the native americans found piles of ammunition at the defensive positions after the army's retreat. Though that's all the fault of the generals designing the drill and training so its still on them not the troops doing what they were trained to do
    5
  711. never underestimate Musilini's ability to screw things up, they would have probably still invaded greece because it was one of his war goals, but ya having a royal navy and a free french navy in the region would have made it much worse (not that it went well for italy anyways)
    5
  712. the decadent west, and not-quite-as-glorious soviets were always taking credit for the gifts the Kim Dynasty (may they rule eternal) gave to the world.
    5
  713. probably because britain has been acting like they did in the 1980ss where the government ignores anything that would actually help, and instead of nationalizing or setting price caps and regulations, they're going to borrow their way out of this, which is morbidly ironic given how austerity has been killing british citizens for more than a decade since the same conservatives decided not having a national debt was paramount above all else. that or markets don't like the way they're soending money while also reducing the monitary supply with interest rate hikes

  718. they had a lot of advanced warning considering the italians almost lost albania to a bunch of hungry, unarmed greeks who pushed them all the way back nearly to the adriatic. Mr. Hitler invaded greece out of spite because he was so mad at the italians
    5
  719. but at the same time you're loosing a lot of the benefits of a mounted gun in that you can fire a heavier round and not care because there's no recoil and that heavier round can do more than just anti personnel
    5
  720. you know, the japanese blowing up mark 14 torpedo stocks was probably a boon. BeuOrd would have probably gotten their way if they had hundreds of torpedoes vs commanders arguing for the need to even sink anything with their limited numbers of weapons

  726. in his book on Sicily '43, James Holland described naval fire from the USS Shubrick bombarding german tanks trying to charge to the allied landings in Gella. it puts it into scale how big ships are when a small ship like a destroyer overmatches Tiger I's

  731. there's also the history of poorly used eminent domain. A local farm recently was outbid on land that the county seized in 1955 from them then sat on for 60 years, only ever using a couple acres out of the 35 acres for utilities that ultimately weren't built. despite having raised the 200,000$ to bid on it, the board had to sell it in an open auction instead of returning it to the family

    5
  735. its cool when you find these weird one offs, even cooler when you do get the exact story
    5
  736. I just finished reading/listening to Brothers In Arms, i think there's only a handful of times they ever were close enough that ramming or getting closer was a better idea than just stand to and fire a couple rounds, and even those only seem to happen in Normandy where everything was such a mess they seriously could drop into a road between german tanks by accident. Its all based on a mix of battle reports and letters but you'd think if they rammed a tank they'd have made a bigger deal of it
    5
  737. might want to let the media know this, there's not one mention of youtube
    5
  738. its a novel solution because these rounds are so much larger than a normal bullet so you kind of have to have use the larger force of the recoil system
    5
  739. probably not much of an issue, when these ships went into battle they ditched the launches (if given enough notice) otherwise, the boats are replaceable. the flying deck was designed for across deck firing
    5
  740. its not like they had polycarb safety glasses back then
    5
  741. was half expecting the naval officers to do something like bombard a government residency
    5
  742. 14:50 oh that's actually pretty cool to be able to cycle this reliably with .38 special

  743. its the cartridges themselves that had issues, some guns had multiple firing pins for rimfite cartridges but you could also unload, rotate and reload the cartridge
    5
  744. he's done some videos but vintage ammo is even harder to find than weapons

  752. @Curt Howland  My thoughts on it have always been even though the romans proto-industrialized, there wasn't something that made industrialization particularly attractive until you get cannons and guns, then whoever has the most of those started winning wars taking money and resources driving more fighting
    5
  753. I think there will be a push at the point when electric drives and battery systems begin to out perform IC systems, and dedicated electric platforms would be much better than retrofitted ones, though solid state batteries are ages away for military vehicles
    5
  754. it is funny how complicated even the simplified Thompson is for being just an open bolt simple blowback gun
    5
  755.  @obsidianjane4413  crude by today, but rockets were probably still a lot more expensive than shells due to scale of industry, the machinery and materials were all well established for artillery, while rockets were all new equipment and industries
    5
  756. this isn't very pragmatic, a pragmatic design would just be a rifle grenade kit for the normal guns compromising on the range and rate of fire, not taking a normal gun and making it incapable of being used as an infantry weapon.
    5
  757. "And they economised and simplified the production of the Luger" are we talking about the same swiss here?
    5
  758. I think the point of these guns is to fire a lot of small caliber bullets in approximately a circle, whereas anything bigger would run the risk of rupturing or being too heavy to handle
    5
  759. its a boom/bust cycle now for practical compared to that time period when ILM was in its heyday. Digital art is just so much more universal of a skillset compared to practical effects

  764. tbf by the 1970s a lot of industry in the USSR was 10-15 years behind. the 1980 Olympics were a boon for them because they got the IOC to make all the merchandise in the USSR, but to do so they had to import all the machinery to do so, for things like garments, shirts, and especially shoes. The shoes alone would be a massive leap forward for soviet shoe technology and they made them for decades

  772. Harvey baker the american spelling comes from Charles Hall who invented a process for refining pure metal in Oberlin Ohio, then when a similar method was invented by a few other people independently he quickly jumped on the market to manufacture it before the metal price crashed. while his patents were correctly spelled, he marketed aluminum without the extra I for reasons we will never quite understand. Alcoa becoming a juggernaut in the US, our version stuck.

  780. ah nothing more useless than volley sights on a naval rifle
    4
  781. the coal used by a ship wasn't JUST lumps of coal. the stuff coming out of a mine doesn't go straight into a boiler back then, it got broken up and sieved to remove debris in coal, and washed soil off of it. It is processed, mostly through rudimentary processing, potentially by children with black lung

  783. bullshit that's not what she said at all From her interview on the trip "So I’m not going to – again, as a supporter of democracy in China – but this is about democracy in Taiwan.  We cannot allow the Chinese government to isolate Taiwan.  They may say to them, ‘You can’t go to the World Health Organization,’ but they’re not going to say who can go to Taiwan.  And yes, it was worth it, and what the Chinese are doing is what they usually do." ... "But you know what, why don't we just show China that we support Taiwan?  It is part of the U.S. – the Taiwan Relations Act.  I didn’t – we didn't go there to change policy.  We still support the One China policy.  We go there to acknowledge the status quo is what our policy is.  There was nothing disruptive about that.  It was only about saying [Taiwan] is one of the freest societies in the world.  Don't take it from me.  That's from Freedom House.  It’s a strong democracy –"

  784.  @genericpersonx333  say that to yemen.

  814. Gary was a planned city, and the steel mill has been floundering nearly since it was built. its just that the United Steel Works is still one of the few places that can take iron ore and process it all the way to steel. Gary's problem also has to do with workers being able to live anywhere else and still work at the mill because its not even that close to the mill compared to what you'd find in pittsburg, cleveland, or even chicago

  824. 4:00 I thought the monitor was in a museum, at least what was left. the hull is gone but the turret, a gun, and I think the engine were recovered in the 1970s. Cerberus you could recover the top parts of the ship and display them since they're above water still

  825. if we had sent the USS Texas (the first) instead, it probably still would have exploded itself

  841. ​ @AshleyPomeroy single stack magazinrs were preferred when stuff like thr 1911 was developed to keep it thin
    4
  842.  @WALTERBROADDUS  side wheel powered carriers are kinda funny, plus the US navy built them with a rather ridiculous amount of secrecy since there was absolutely nothing secret, state of the art, or remotely militarily interesting about them
    4
  843. vacuum tube computers were devilishly complex requiring quite different tubes for operation than regular devices since they had to have such high rates of uptime compared to other machinery

  844. there were more than a few episodes he was in approximately indie's costume

  845. 4:30 this is probably why checks and tabs were much more common back then, you'd let them do the math then just pay at the end of the month
    4
  846.  @nomdeguerre7265  lets not revel in our superiority though, as the last couple years have shown, our system might be a little bit more fragile and hollow than we'd like to think, especially since we've removed many of the safeguards put in place because we had examples like the USSR and politicians who maybe understood that once and a while you had to tell the free market where they were allowed to make things and for what price. Today's conservatives take bribes from companies and let whole industries set up shop in china and then get angry about it, then when china stops the ships from moving they wonder how this could have happened

  850. that first one looks so good from a distance and so crusty up close

  851. they're sleek ships but they look critically under gunned especially for the upcoming conflict
    4
  852. iterative design, they went from pouches and paper cartridges to cardboard tubes to brass/plastic

  853. grapevans gonna grape

  855.  @jasonhaynes2952  bought one from Ikea, had nearly enough uranium to go critical
    4
  856. the idea of interchangeable parts was probably independently devised many times over but the first time anyone ever got their way was the british block and tackle factory in portsmith, earlier attempts were all usually hampered by the tools or the workers, but the idea of using standardized jigs, tools, and measurements was like a production dream
    4
  857.  @shadowsnake5133  don't worry, the USSR left many more nuclear torpedoes lying around than the US ever lost nuclear bombs
    4
  858. kind of shows that with a big enough ship you can't really stop something like this. its not like they had any guns capable of taking it out unless they got the lucky hit on the explosives
    4
  859. I think they've probably said the same thing about Bollywood too. China may be a lucrative box office but western studios will still make movies that they can release globally outside of china along side movies they can sell in china because those movies are not necessarily going to make good money outside china as well. Occasionally we get the movie that makes money in both, but I think with the censorship and how china has been pushing propaganda elements in films will mean films have less and less appeal in foreign markets outside china kind of like how russian cinema has been. None of this is strictly a bad thing, as long as we make sure it doesn't become chinese companies acquiring all of hollywood

  860. tbf the bunker buster of the cold war was always just assumed to be a tactical or dialed nuke but iraq was the first time we actually had to take out a bunker with modern munitions

    4
  862. this thing seems a little too eager to dump its guts out the back. you rotated 1 pin and loosened 1 cap and the guts just shot right out

  867. 35:30 just send both alaska's, the japanese might genuinely be confused by a battlecruiser pair that are just for AA fighting
    3
  868. so they went out to buy a battleship, ended up buying a last model battlecruiser. Can relate, this is how my parents go car shopping, don't get me started on the time they went to buy an Iowa and returned home with an Alaska

  869.  @wolschou  not that silly but customizable light combos would be very easy
    3
  870. seems like .30 carbine was a good bullet for an interum assault rifle before you work out something like 5.56
    3
  871. for the 1960s this was pretty much what hollywood was doing too except with bigger budgets, probably more takes and time like the giant volcano lair in You Only Live Twice was mostly palletwood stacked up to make this giant structure
    3
  872. ​ @LendriMujina  ya just oxygenating the atmosphere almost wiped out all the single cell life on earth at that point due to it causing one of the worst ice ages we have geological evidence for.

  873. we'd be all dead from the utter collapse of any and all social structure due to everybody being a NIMBY

  874. I think project 50's swivel mount was for surface warfare instead of under water but man the thing would probably have been removed early on because of its complications
    3
  875.  @andersjjensen  I worked at a place recycling metal alloys and other junk that they had to buy especially solder covered nickel wire scrap, a lot of stuff still had traces of lead leftover in it, though without chemically testing it I could never be certain if that was the spectro+xrf picking up lead or just picking up something bleeding over into lead's spectrum. Got out of that job partly because I was worried about my health, plus found a job closer to home

  876. for the fins to scrap a gun it must have been absolutely destroyed

  877. this thing almost looks like you could shoulder it, if you were arnold shwartzenegger I suppose
    3
  878. that's loosely a theme of this channel I suppose. Forgotten quite often means terrible, (but not always)
    3
  879. it probably gets ignored partly for bias, the west legitimately was doing a lot more naval stuff at the time, but also a lot of eastern naval tradition was just a dead end

  882. the 1994 awb was a dumb definition, but people shouting there's no such thing as assault rifles have been equally as dumb
    3
  883. Splitting hairs, you're going to have different rates of flashing on different cars just from the difference in resistance from the length of wires from the front to back, even on the same car the wiring harness is going to be slightly different between vehicles. You'd have to add some kind of closed loop system
    3
  884. the marines breaking the army's stuff is too funny
    3
  885.  @LeeePowers  art is frustratingly one of the few places that rich people can funnel money through without any oversight or taxes. Basically Rich Guy A wants to pay Rich Guy B under the table, Rich Guy B gets an 'artist' to make some art, and then puts up a gallery. Rich Guy A can now buy art from Rich Guy B and it looks like a legitimate sale, but he can pay whatever he wants for basically anything
    3
  886. they use lasers to burn channels in, I've handled enough of them at a job recycling aircraft scrap. pure cobalt parts are insane, they're like as tough as titanium and lighter than aluminum

  890. Man red-coat should go to france and say there's no french and germans, then go to berlin to get the other eye punched out lol
    3
  891.  @maxkronader5225  she was also both strategically and morally too valuable to loose because the presence of the yamato was enough to hold an area and provide a moral boost. paradoxically this was why they couldn't afford to actually push her into combat because it was irreplaceable
    3
  892. I actually worked in the ruins of one of the former torpedo factories built immediately after ww2 in Cleveland. it was a strange building having been occupied from 1950-2004 by a series of shrinking companies constantly getting bought out until ratheyon kicked them out of the torpedo market. Never seen a building with so many locker rooms or so much fire retardant on the walls
    3
  893. primitive is the word that comes to mind, there's very little electronics on these ships even in the 1940s and yet they fought along side of the iowas which look like old ships inside today
    3
  894. just use smaller crew lol

  895. ​ @dmacpher most of their recomendations were ignored
    3
  896. ​ @huntclanhunt9697 the survivability onion shows if you're at gunfight range you've probably already been shot down. both these guys kept this die hard advocation for stuff that ignored what we were really good at like advanced radars and advanced missiles
    3
  897. in the late 1800s it was function over form, get the autoloading bit right, then worry about simplification. Problem was that when someone did simplify something everybody tended to adopt that and dump the big clunky stuff

  900. probably one of the most complete and thorough conversions ian has ever covered

  901. been a while since Ian sent parts flying on camera

  902. given that at least half of it was spent in the segregated south, growing up with civil war vets still kicking it, probably wasn't the best for a while
    3
  903. militias did tend to have the responsibility to purchase a cannon and maintain it
    3
  904. Luxembourg, otherwise known as that speedbump between france and germany
    3
  905. the bmp2 is still a useful vehicle but the bmp1 was obsolete pretty soon after being built because of the deficiencies with the gun, the need for nbt so elimination of the gun ports, and reconfiguring of the missile system
    3
  906. might have been the engines doing that. Triple expansion steam engines can't be pushed too fast
    3
  907. but think of all the ammunition they'd waste if they can fire so fast
    3
  908. series

  909. idk, if anything was gonna do it, it would have been lever guns and nobody ever made a top feed lever gun
    3
  910.  @TwoTreesStudio  A lot of these machines are getting better and better at doing more with less and the older machines are being phased out too. Its really an IAEA problem that we didn't make the warning signs universal enough and have an actual chain of custody for these sources until they're recycled. Fortunately they finally have moved to a sign that tries to better communicate how flipping deadly these things are but chain of custody is still the biggest issue in these incidents
    3
  911. What's not to love, britain gets to invade france, do a little colonialism, shoot at italians, and get into a scrap with the germans
    3
  912. man the capital police could shoot up a bunch of ecoterrorists with super powers, but not a bunch of guys with red hats and red flags
    3
  913. one would wonder why it took several more decades or development for them to just issue troops with small shovels instead.
    3
  914. my only guess is these guns require a large up front cost
    3
  915. The Battleship equivalent of a case saying "In Case of Yamato Swarm Break Glass"
    3
  916. "what does this gun do that is better?" it is the most precisely machined handgun in the world
    3
  917. NateLB that's only because every hollywood movie ever misuses the spas-12 (possibly intentionally though) because I've never seen a movie where its used semiauto or where the stock has been deployed, and this carries over into videogames
    3
  918. the funny thing was that had nasa done the apollo program 10 years later and they'd have had microprocessors and RAM, the AGC was very advanced but in its own ways a technological dead end as there were technologies on it that wouldn't be replicated for decades such as many multi layer pcbs, I can't recomend enough CuriousMarc's AGC rebuild video series
    3
  919. Jagdwurst 88 no wonder they lost the war, too much wasted paint on lettering and took too long on their paperwork
    3
  920. corporations of all kinds where they enjoy large unchecked authority need to be regulated and under way more scruitiny than they currently enjoy

    3
  924.  Lassi Kinnunen  from video yesterday the bolt looked compression or transfer molded as it had some sort of random fill in it.
    3
  925. For some reason they lost a large chunk of Lee's at the beginning of ww2, so they were fortunate to have the opportunity to rearm with a modern lee enfield for a modern war
    3
  926.  @iwanttocry3212  no because the british probably knew it was all happening
    3
  927. bolt action conversions like revolving rifles, seem to on paper be an obvious relatively easy thing to do, but turn out to be completely unworkable
    3
  928. beautiful smg in a way that almost looks futuristic especially for pre-ww2 sub guns would have been very handy for paratroops
    3
  929. time period is going to be a hard one to pin down, its gonna be any one of several years during ww1 when the officer programs were flooded with recruits anyways so records are gonna be fuzzy. really this is like antique furniture, unless you can absolutely prove with paperwork its always going to be up to the veracity of the experts to claim authenticity
    3
  930. thought foulings problem is the unburnt powder that gets blasted into the mechanism. most black powder revolvers have grooves cut into the pins to help allow that crap to build up before it jams
    3
  931. the sks being a scaled down version of an antimaterial rifle is funny, usually its the opposite
    3
  932.  @brokenspine66  um no the USSR had plans, just like the US has plans to invade and annex canada, the point was we needed to make it not beneficial for them to carry out those plans
    3
  933. this thing is forgotten by todays politicians but it was a disaster affecting multiple states, none of which had enough money to fix up such a massive problem
    3
  934. depends on how high we can get the washers and bolts marked up before the accountants catch on.
    3
  935. the magazine thing probably makes sense since its 1903 and everybody has clips with internal magazines, which was what he probably though since you're translating german to dutch with a technical term that's relatively new
    3
  936. "Is that a live round? "another, that can't be good." clearly that is an early method for preventing soldiers from wasting ammunition by dumping some perfectly good ammunition out of the magazine so they have a few rounds left over yes that is the case, not that its a poorly designed italian firearm
    3
  937. Getting america into ww1 was seen as such an important heroic thing but that just means making the war worse instead of better
    3
  938. I think I've seen like 4 of the command modules from apollo and they're still amazing vehicles every one of them, I do wish one of them was in good enough shape to display the inside as well as the outside, its sad to hear the materials used inside are disintegrating
    3
  939. water, carbon, pretty similar.
    3
  940. seems like the Dreadnought could be a candidate, though where the limited technology/warfare perspective ends and rule of cool begins is tough to say, very few battleships actually fought other battleships or any ships for that matter, and so what worked against other battleships was almost pure speculation itself
    3
  941. How neutral do you have to be to buy 50,000 guns from germany in 1941
    3
  942. that's one angry pair of minesweepers
    3
  943. one wonders what the british would have thought had the US been able to build a frigate using a giant sequoia or redwood, just a mast 3x the height and thickness of anything ever found elsewhere, though maybe for the redwoods that they never did such a silly thing was probably good
    3
  944. Yes the world is less for it when the sailors don't get a CTE everytime the gun fires.
    3
  945. what a lovely fluted barrel it has
    3
  946. I swear the allies missed destroying the german tool stamp factories, they couldn't possibly produce anything without having a serial number on nearly every part
    3
  947.  @TVdinnermasterchef  for most stuff not much, but as someone who was working in the aerospace industry it set off a scramble to figure out if we had ever made any part using metal products from Kobe or any of its subsidiaries. They basically just forged quality certs for something like 20 years. I don't know if anyone ever actually got hurt but it was pretty bad for the industries they sold products to
    3
  948. well, the story of Hooke and Newton is basically Dexter and Mandark, the two absolutely hated each other but because there was like 20 guys doing science back then they had to know each other
    3
  949. this is a disgusting opinion where the justices will be remembered as being partisan actors
    3
  950. I never get that too, like mcdonalds manufactures 'fries' in the US, but in the EU they just use potatoes and salt... why can't we get that!
    3
  951. I think there's some irony when you're choosing questions on a test so difficult even full time physicists don't actually know the true answer and thus the students taking the test are just making their best guess using their own knowledge
    3
  952. thought the bigger problem with the Ares 1 was that if they tried to escape it either would require so much g-forces it would kill the crew or they would be melted by burning propellent afterwards
    3
  953. blitzkreig only works if there's gas stations wherever you're going, which neither North Africa or Russia had, so you end up with no way to continue past a point of no return . I wonder what the equivalent would be in Blitzscaling, reaching that point where you're spending more on your debt than on your service
    3
  954. I strongly suspect the Cyber Taxi is actually a rebadged Roadster mk 2 if that thing was announced as the Roadster it'd probably have been well recieved, and the styling would have been well likes
    3
  955. as someone who no longer works in the aerospace industry. Taking a guess: Yes, they've probably been working on the development of the individual systems and design for components for over a decade
    3
  956. love how you describe the 1000 tonner lake haulers as "a slightly pointy barge"
    3
  957. given the curve you're probably not going to use this for anything other than shot
    3
  958. saw a guy get his finger degloved because he stuck his hand up a pipe to clean out a blockage instead of getting a cleanout tool and sticking it down the cleanout slot a few inches above the opening. Kind of glad I'm not on a factory floor anymore because you're right, workers will take the quick way every time, and thats sometimes the wrong way to do it.
    3
  959. kinda like a cold steam engine but the problem is nitrogen gets too cold to work with normally
    3
  960. seems obvious in hindsight, don't give up land so easily since vobont's system uses that land to build the trenches
    3
  961. Just what in the hell were they thinking when they took a bucket to mix radioactive material
    3
  962. regular citizens game the unemployment system: "HERESY!" Big Corporations game the much much bigger pot of stimulus funds: "Good for them!"
    3
  963. idk I thought Colt was rather infamous for doing drugs
    3
  964. ironically what you described with showrooming is exactly what the computer stores like microcenter deals with, If I take up a guy's time for 25 minutes I try to at least buy something to help him get a commission even if he's talked me out of the thing I came for
    3
  965. its funny, this is basically a smartphone crammed around a gun
    3
  966. demanufacturing seemingly every economy was a mistake but I don't see how we can return to local manufacture of goods without really recalibrating the way businesses evaluate investments
    3
  967. its a very important and interesting turn of events that gunpowder seemed to just spring into the historical record in europe without any sort of origin other than the chinese story
    3
  968. oh ya, my school had a typewriter that was like 6-8 feet wide just to fill out forms because most government forms were still paper back then, and its not been THAT long

  969. shocking the lindsey musket is untouched when it had that tendency to blow up easily...

  970. 100 year old nitrate is just awful for archival purposes
    3
  971.  @sbsanan95  Ian has shown off at least one other gun where the locking was activated by your own grip strength, but none this new. like what the heck was this guy thinking, by the 1970s this was stupid

    3
  974. its weird they would even be able to make such a claim because usually the owner of the media said character appears in first are the ones who have claim over that character. Idk what agreement they had with the studio at the time but the studio almost certainly would own the right to the character being that they own the movie and the rights to all the characters in the story portrayed there. This seems like a bit of a side hustle that the studios haven't needed to stop bc they're not the ones getting sued

  975. armor plate doesn't come to mind when designing submarines

  976. 0:53 man so many good cars there that have crumbled to rust
    3
  977. well ya but also when quantum physics came up it absolutely caused a pandemonium because it meant you couldn't know things exactly, which is the absolute core of classical physics
    3
  978. shamelessly ripping off a reagan joke that ignores the long waits for medical procedures people endure in the US. offtopic though
    3
  979. Armor on ww2 aircraft is as you stated a measure of protection on the machinery, fuel tanks, and a degree of protection for the pilots. By the time a bullet has passed through the airplane, the plate doesn't need to be all that thick to stop it if its coming from the rear
    3
  980. the only time where businesses actually pass along the savings from scales of industries anymore

  997.  @browncoat697  just waiting for putin to push the button and all the flags and stars fall down to be replaced by the soviet flag and hammer/sickle at this point. plus its talking about a gun designed before the ussr collapsed but only built really after it died

  999. f35 doesn't have to deal with the 1960s interservice rivalries

  1000. there's more than a few book that have dwelled on how Hitler and the upper echelons of the reich delayed major movements and reallignments to the point where all stategic advantage was squandered and the plans were out of date with the tactical situation
    3
  1001.  @tomdolan9761  think they are actually finally revamping the area, but the whole place is full of stuff needing remidiation
    3
  1002. I imagine the only scripted parts were when you were explaining stuff in pieces to camera which you did more in the later seasons as a way to explain what's going on, but that's reading from a script to get the facts right and thats a script you would write
    3
  1003. Another question to the first one, where do we go from here? Today it seems like everybody has exactly what they want, guns are rapid fire, extremely reliable, historically light weight, and can be exactly as lethal as the user wants. Sure caseless is a general direction but that adds several layers of complexity itself but rate of fire isnt really an issue and the weight of weapons and ammo are not where soldiers are putting on weight these days.

  1005. A wild Ian appeared! dun dun da da da daaa

  1006. I really think the courts have maybe gone a bit absurd with the notion that political speech is somehow more protected than regular speech. I understand the need, a lot of authoritarians shutdown opponents using speech restrictions, but its like, racist guy says racist things to incite violence, isn't protected, racist guy suddenly runs for office, suddenly its all just politics, he's not literally calling for people to be exterminated, even when he says he is literally calling for people to be exterminated

  1007. there's something incredibly weird about seeing a belt driven machine shop on a ship. I guess it makes perfect sense, and for its faults you can make some compact setups with everything running off shafts

  1008. nice to see the american civil war starting to creep in. it was as much a bridge between the old world fighting of the 18th century and a prelude to the modern fighting of the 20th century
    3
  1009.  @Zed_Oud  if you think factories and 'productive buildings' pay taxes you're laughably wrong, but its a fault of our modern system that companies get to pit countries, states, and cities against each other
    3
  1010. all's fine until one night "....pick on one...partial on two...."
    3
  1011.  @kaiseriv8483  ya I got that job that I could afford a house, only for everything around me to go up 5x in value in a year.
    3
  1012. Tursi they had this whole 100 year plan to integrate serbia and the other balkin states into the austro-hungarian empire that did not work one bit
    3
  1013. agreed. russia has been just deploying armored vehicles piecemeal instead of in the types of formations they were designed for and they're loosing vehicles because of that
    3
  1014. they just waited so long to start doing anything while the reactors kept heating up
    3
  1015. the shuttle having a calibrated stick is so funny
    3
  1016. well bureau of prisons, basically
    3
  1017. well that or issued to desk warriors. Ian's covered it somewhat before but a lot of people who didn't really need a gun still got guns because it was THE accessory to have if you were a real fashionable nazi
    3
  1018. I think the tillmans would have been difficult to get reliably working, the US alone had problems with stripping gears on turbines by ww2, something twenty thousand tons more than even the largest built ship would be even more unreliable
    3
  1019. that's not what's happened. the ships being short by 5 meters means someone was rushing in the shipyard and did undocumented changes just to get the ships off the slips and off the books and can affect a lot of things internally such as pipe fittings, cable runs, bouyancy, even balance
    3
  1020. so a bunch of sketchy guys
    3
  1021. battlecruisers weren't failures. Battlecruisers did what they were intended to do with the battle of the Falklands. they just were terrible in lines
    3
  1022. Worked at a vacuum salt pan plant once, the MSF plant looks exactly like that except a salt mill intends to grow salt crystals. washing was a hell of an operation, they would flood the pans with HCL then wash it out. you didn't go into the pan area when they washed, the floor was flooded to neutralize drips and the machinery was all full of HCL
    3
  1023. lithium battery subs would have a much more expensive operating life, the batteries don't cycle as much as other chemistries but that doesn't seem like an issue of concern by either china or japan
    3
  1024. kind of makes the british stuff look well engineered
    3
  1025. Ohlourdes Padua there is a benefit to partial machining, those stamped ww2 guns just didn't last which is fine in a war but not great for police or armories that expect them to last
    3
  1026. its got a recoil compensator cut but maybe its not doing enough
    3
  1027. kind of interesting they made 10 large points to build a stable economy and forgot to include anything about personal freedoms (other than property rights) and political freedoms, you can't run an economy well in a totalitarian state
    3
  1028.  @zachrodan7543  does unwind a lot of his executive privilage drama
    3
  1029. "swedish designers do their own thing" SO what 3 hulls?
    3
  1030. Bunkyboy 91 no because the rim locks against the barrel and brass itself expands and stays expanded until it cools whereas this polymer case probably wasn't very intact when it exited the front of the chamber
    3
  1031. 'swiss' as in designed, tooled by and produced for Germans disguised as swiss
    3
  1032. ​ @deeznoots6241 his method wouldn't have worked on a larger fort with more supplies or a port but it certainly was a rare illustration of innovative thinking
    3
  1033. "No you're right you went on to say it was just palestinians that are living in shite" it...just...gets...worse....
    3
  1034. man this thing is just toolroom enough that someone ought to be able to make a working replica
    3
  1035.  @mikehall3976  in the year of our lord 2022, we can't even run trains on electricity even though the costs would be nothing
    3
  1036. ah yes the era of Britain First, which nobody would ever copy ever anywhere else nearly word for word....
    3
  1037. BMP 3 is actually a naval gunboat capable of driving on land, sometimes
    3
  1038. one of the only theaters where airships played a key role in ww2 patrolling for u-boats
    3
  1039. the late 1800s were a wild time to be in the market for firearms, you had a not zero chance of buying a 'new' gun that was made of 50 year old parts or a gun that was made before the civil war and sat in a warehouse
    3
  1040. buy 800,000 for the US army.
    3
  1041. they probably were well aware of how desperate germany's war materials situation was and how the ship was irreplaceable
    3
  1042. eh the intel tax is real, their motherboards cost quite a bit more than amd parts
    3
  1043. it was a bold strategy to not raise a defense at trial, didn't seem to pay off though
    3
  1044. 1916: aircraft exist, time to invent AA
    3
  1045. ​@@FartGas-xe4ykcomplicated in relation to the sparkplug design we use which requires a nuke to go off in the correct way as to compress fusion fuel and refract around the casing correctly
    3
  1046. turns out cobbling a rocket together from sts technology is actually harder than just building a rocket from scratch
    3
  1047. I think Johnson probably designed it that way on purpose which added complexity but let him easily sell to other countries
    3
  1048. no, our english court system is just not capable of handling the modern legal code
    3
  1049. Ian sends it to Lockpicking Lawyer "Click on one..."
    3
  1050. this idn't all that useless at all, the concepts behind it are similar to how inertial navigation computers work
    3
  1051. I always thought one of the biggest problems of stocked pistols is the stock is significantly bulkier than the pistol, or even an SMG which is kinda what a carbine or ppc serves
    3
  1052. when you take plane, make it big, then splat two into each other. I always think this might be a factor why nobody flies these big of planes anymore, like nobody seemed to be able to grapple with what could happen when two fully loaded and filled 747s hit each other
    3
  1053. probably tens to hundreds of thousands of them around
    3
  1054. kind of a side side note, the SR-71 was supposed to be the RS-71 but johnson flubbed the announcement, and everybody just penciled over the old name
    3
  1055. authoritarianism will crush the soul of any culture
    3
  1056. theres no protective status. there was a haitian community there, more move to the area because theres haitians there.
    3
  1057. We have all sorts of measuring equipment and gauges but when we have to measure the ID of our product there's no gauge that can verify that diameter without damaging it
    3
  1058. the pettiest shit will be if russia takes the island and when there's a truce or cease fire russia will claim the waters around it IE the entire ukrainian southern coast as russian territorial waters like china does with every little rock in the south china sea
    3
  1059. quite possibly these were failed barrels, thus saving time and materials by repurposing them to blank firing boyscout guns, also fascist europe didn't seem to grasp its own mortality very well.
    3
  1060. agata chrise, great russian author, famous for works like murder on the siberian express otherwise interesting story about thus
    3
  1061. not sure we're ever going to get a full picture on that one since it more likely than no involves participation by the US, NATO and is still in use
    3
  1062. kind of amazing its 1945 and someone was making a gun not intended for military use
    3
  1063. it pulled hundreds of millions out of absolute poverty and put them in regular poverty
    3
  1064.  @John77Doe  Dayton Ohio, its open to the public and not inside the base
    3
  1065. yet another time i realize Terry Pratchet was an absolute genius, this would be an important plot point to one of his last books
    3
  1066. dang a c96 with a luger grip looks pretty fly. I kind of want to see this actually as a c96/luger
    3
  1067. that was my feeling as well, from what I've read most of the newer processes just use ultra pure water exactly because the process is so sensitive to anything. He's not wrong that its an extremely closed up industry, but that's also how nearly every industry that uses chemicals works
    3
  1068. looks about as small as you can build a sub and still have a practical range and layout
    3
  1069. such a well designed pistol even though its got that goofy long barrel.
    3
  1070. Egalitarianism, the seldom used cousin to equality. Communism and capitalism both express everything in terms of equality, not egalitarianism.
    3
  1071. I can kinda see what he was thinking, its like a ship of the line but with turrets.
    3
  1072. after watching the NJ's recent video on the reduction gear, those things are absolutely amazing and basically every article on geared turbines understates how difficult they are to get working
    3
  1073. I think the problem with small nuclear powers sparking off a conflict is that both the US and Russia might view the conflict as one that can be won through traditional weapons at that point. only the US and Russia really possess the arsenals required to switch to mutual all out strikes, everybody else possesses an arsenal big enough to tell everybody else to eff off but not big enough to really fight off multiple enemy states. like if china launched its entire force at the US, we could be selective with our retaliatory strike because they have a small amount of missiles, and we could hold lots of bombs in reserve to hold back our other adversaries
    3
  1074. nobody ever really is
    3
  1075. 13:52 This seems like something modern conservatives could get behind, arming merchant ships with harpoon missiles
    3
  1076. @super duper that sounds like a very poor design, there should be a way to vent pressure behind the pellet if the projectile gets stuck
    3
  1077. the HK53: for when you want an mp5 in 5.56
    3
  1078. could also be that this soldier or whoever couldn't handle a full length rifle either kind of like how the south vietnamese couldn't handle full length M1s and M14s due to them being of shorter build
    3
  1079. that thing is terrifying even from a modern perspective
    3
  1080.  @aBoogivogi  take exercises with a pinch of salt, they're controlled exercises with very tight regulations on how the crews are to operate, often to determine like how a sub could sneak through a fleet looking for it. Its very much like how an F-16 can kill an F-35, in exercises.
    3
  1081. not to mention the fed has declared unlimited QE and recajiggering the inflation rate such that they're never going to raise interest rates either but we can't spend any money on people's healthcare because that would be socialism
    3
  1082. woulda been the slickest operator in the 1980s
    3
  1083.  @naughtiusmaximus830  its not apples to apples though and their high speed rail is basically unsustainable on all but the earliest lines
    3
  1084. it wasn't even the baby boomers, it was the politicians and financial elites from their generation that raided the future. Warren Buffet has not paid taxes for basically his entire life, that absolutely adds up and its not just him
    3
  1085. the culture series's AI's always were interesting since they found humans to be interesting and while they controlled the entire culture they helped humans move up (but only if they wanted to) and the ships were sentient and had funny names giving them character
    3
  1086. it's called a suicide burn, it's the exact time till impact and tells you when to start burning to exactly land at 0 velocity
    2
  1087. swiss, so busy not fighting wars to think about every little detail to put in their guns
    2
  1088. Luke Schofield oh man you probably shouldnt think about how many imperially measured parts go into a european or asian airplane engine then
    2
  1089. Dutch Broomhandle Schmeisser, really neat.
    2
  1090. its interesting how these guns get less and less locked up as they evolved. the common complaint about these for military use was that you could get junk in the action when you open the lever but the earlier guns were pretty sealed up, only the 1890s guns started to have lots of room open up when you cycled it
    2
  1091. you see ivan, in soviet union we use film can for ammunition holder
    2
  1092. seems like someone put their 190- trials collection up for auction
    2
  1093. i giggle at the idea of a pistol that takes an unplanned stripper clip dump out the bottom as you stuff another one in
    2
  1094. thermoses have a delicate lining, if your throwing 100C coffee into a cold mug it might break I know glass ones have this problem but idk about these
    2
  1095. illegal but not enforced sadly. I just signed a similar in the contract at my current job, it wasn't a forced nda but more a suggestion, but still in there. it wasn't as bad as some jobs I worked but the culture is still there with HR and the lawyers to do it until they get caught.
    2
  1096. "Ooh you bought into the electric car" uh the I3 behind you is also electric
    2
  1097. my guess is livestock powered ships were just way too difficult to get reliable but occasionally someone got it to work good enough which is why there's a lot of specific examples but no widespread use
    2
  1098. its actually a little better knowing the dog head stuff for the film was probably staged. its not something you want to just stumble upon on the internet without context
    2
  1099. at least its not radioactive asbestos, the wonder material from the nuclear program
    2
  1100. People were concerned its just the politicians were bought and the capital owners were addicted to chinese labor
    2
  1101. neat, someone ought to write a book on guns like this (sure you've heard this one a million times)
    2
  1102. 6 wasp major engines, so given their track record, 3.5 engines on average
    2
  1103. there's always that one ship, perennially in need of a refit and never to receive it
    2
  1104. huh, thought you'd go to the yak-15 which as far as first generation jets goes was about as basic as you could get, they took a Yak-3 piston fighter and whacked a Jumo-004 on the front of it
    2
  1105. ​ @neutronalchemist3241 might have helped its chances a little
    2
  1106. down hill skiing and shooting
    2
  1107. a lot of older panels just use two breakers with a bar between the two switches, while still being physically packaged as one double breaker
    2
  1108. "Life finds a way..."
    2
  1109. "they also made one for use with luger mags" man, 9mm took a long time to get past the luger
    2
  1110. its not as much of a good thing, the center engine running hydrogen rich could have destroyed the engine as well since it would have increased the exhaust temperature
    2
  1111. venus offers such an incredibly difficult task to get to, brake, and land but has some weird benefits like the ability to use airbrakes instead of parachutes
    2
  1112. ​ @dexexmachinatu4151 that or its just a regular m3 in 9mm because game mechanics. hard to tell because they did similar weird stuff for Fallout 4
    2
  1113. wtf were they thinking with those paperclip springs? did they give the job designing the trigger mechanism to an intern who made a model out of office supplies and someone mistook it for the finished product?
    2
  1114. midway the 2010s movie is Baaaaaaaddd compared to the old one
    2
  1115. tbf the period in question actually was one of the coldest in recorded history because of a freek global cooling event that they're still working out what caused it
    2
  1116. thumb "Hole" when its completely hollow
    2
  1117. this is like one of those chinese puzzle boxes where you have to twist, turn, rotate, and pull at pieces to get it to open
    2
  1118. Ian is confused as to the function of the water jacket, it was for making pasta in the field, much like the vickers was for making hot tea for brits
    2
  1119. the thing is with dead space they do know planet cracking is stupid. they do a large amount of asteroid mining or used to then moved to planet cracking because they were looking for monuments
    2
  1120. cool, I think this is the only melted down reactor you can actually go and see, other than chernobyl I guess
    2
  1121. 33:42 "and her shells work" interestingly the US also had more stable powder so had she been hit Texas probably wouldn't have exploded unexpectedly like the british ships did
    2
  1122. they want a veto over who goes through the suez
    2
  1123. TheIdahoanShow ya with a fixed firing pin it does look like its just a full auto conversion with no real way to stop. they were probably well aware of that and probably only used a couple rounds at a time if that, proof of concept really.
    2
  1124. this is what happens right before every recession, these towers sit empty with the owners saying its not their fault, then the recession happens and they're forced to do something, then when those contracts expire they jack everything up 30-50% and repeat
    2
  1125. look no further than the abandoned mining towns in the US and Africa, when the mines run dry the owners pull up, and everybody fades away
    2
  1126. the problem back then seems to have been one of penetration or lack there of since they both just sort of battered each other. the monitor should have been a bigger paradigm shift than it was, its such a radically advanced ship
    2
  1127. very crude looking gun but its 1866 and screws won't even be standardized for another 20 years
    2
  1128. really wild film
    2
  1129. I suppose the majority of the crew not being turned to chunky marinara was a success, but tough luck for the guys that became pasta sauce
    2
  1130. I know its lethal from a technical stance, but I swear if I ever had to use 25 auto on someone it'd just piss them off
    2
  1131. you know, if I owned this I'd dress it up as a mini cannon and get a carriage to mount it on
    2
  1132. evolutionary vs revolutionary. The mauser 98 was pretty well established by then and had already fixed a lot of issues by the time this boy came around
    2
  1133. kamakazi makes increasingly less sense if you're running out of aircraft to even fill your aircraft carriers with
    2
  1134. Dirty Harry needed one of these over an automag
    2
  1135. its funny how a lot of the ww2 specific stuff is just Winchester did things slightly better
    2
  1136. smgs are generally using pistol calibers to avoid overpenetration, and are lighter, whereas other than this guy, most sbrs are heavier and larger firing rifle calibers
    2
  1137. Adam Harrington this system is more likely trade secret rather than patented, DARPA has shown these omni treadmills before its the software and tracking that they probably did novel
    2
  1138. if you did this with a custom reciever it wouldn't be a problem, you'd just make it with the fc upside down
    2
  1139. tbf poland has been carrying a lot of water for Putin until now, and have been running on the same authoritarian brand that putin espouses
    2
  1140. "He had a photo of hitler put on his ID card." Ok but if you're an MP and a rear admiral gives you this ID are you really going to challenge it?
    2
  1141. Seems like this in concept is great but since its basically no better than a revolver, it isn't really worth it when everybody and their mothers had revolvers at that time
    2
  1142. I think the tank was originally meant to be a 2 man tank but they found they needed the 3rd guy
    2
  1143. I thought carriers avoided china because of their extremely wonky patchwork of no fly zones, plus ukraine being defacto closed means you gotta route around that as well
    2
  1144. mitch taking 3 hours to read a 95 word statement? that's normal. But Biden is the senile one apparently
    2
  1145. "CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF COLONIALISM AND MY BROWN-BESS!"
    2
  1146. "He wanted the naval uniforms grey." Well, you can't win them all.
    2
  1147. these are the people from Ferenheit 451 that cheer and clap for the war right until the bombs come and in the instant between the lights and TV going off and the wall of death crashing down on them, they realize they made a grave mistake, or they don't it doesn't really matter because they're vaporized
    2
  1148. For when you want the maxim to be even more complicated
    2
  1149. "A central agency that was over night dissolved" Thanks Milton Friedman, you had a once in a generation opportunity to transition half the world to sustainable governments and market economies, but instead you forced the former communist countries to privatize and dismantle their state economies over night
    2
  1150. youkikazi is also an amazing dystopian novel about constant war and the toll our war machine extracts on our soldiers
    2
  1151. doesn't seem like it would be useful even in 1941 since its fuel consumption was very bad according to what we know anyways, so it would only have been good for 1940 at best
    2
  1152. Shoulda saved this name for a battleship
    2
  1153. I love how you subconciously tried to rack the slide before firing it
    2
  1154. if your gun is a bit too droopy there's a pill for that
    2
  1155. How TF did this thing survive 2 world wars
    2
  1156. b17s have an oddly low payload but then in order to get them built they were actually designed as something we don't really have today, as a long range torpedo heavy bomber meant to go out and hit capital ships days or hours before they ever get in range of the US coast
    2
  1157. ha this video got dated quite quickly
    2
  1158. "I promise its exactly like I'm carrying a weird french pistol!"
    2
  1159. I know its silly, but have you ever considered doing a quick video on the US Navy's K-Class Anti-Submarine Blimps? they're technically navy ships, they just are a bit confused
    2
  1160. gimme one in .45 acp, I'm a masacist
    2
  1161. more ironically he's got that giant bomb in front of the door under that sign
    2
  1162. the best way to avoid getting hit is not to go to war, its got a 100% survival rate
    2
  1163. the thing is dune mesiah turns everything around, paul won, he controlled the world, the galaxy, and became the emperor of men but he caused an enormous genocide, he created a religion that was way worse than the benegeserites, and he inadvertantly destroyed the fremen by civilizing them. in the end, he just walks away from it all
    2
  1164. is that second one a police gun or guard gun given the heal release and extra serial numbers
    2
  1165. not that I would want a FLW house for practicality but he had a point about how the structure should be able to exist in its environment. A lot of what I don't like about modern architecture is when they're clearly trying to build a sculpture instead of a building
    2
  1166. its really an NYC problem, the other cities I've been to have never been so trashy, even cleveland or pittsburg
    2
  1167. hypothetically anyways
    2
  1168. That thing could stop a mid century buick at 100 yards!
    2
  1169. "its 1mm short" someone forgot to check their gauges
    2
  1170. kind of a pedantic way to argue the water at high pressure kills you by decompressing
    2
  1171. probably the most soviet shotgun ever, even more soviet than the cut down AA barreled riot shotgun
    2
  1172. its not solid CO2 in there its liquid CO2
    2
  1173. superficially looks like 6.5 carcano with how much of the bullet is forward of the case
    2
  1174. not sure I'd want either chrome or nickel in the desert
    2
  1175. didn't happen at the range but my dad loves to just shout at people to do something then never follow up. He assumed my 12 year old brother cleared his shotgun. It blew a nice chunk of the wall out when my dad went to go clean it, thank god he wasn't pointing it at anything. To this day I don't know what the ever living fuck he was thinking, I love my brother but he's lost his wallet in his own pocket before. My dad patched the hole and never spoke about it ever again.
    2
  1176. they have passed budgets, the democrats passed one in 2020 for two years. its sort of a myth they never pass a budget because congress usually misappropriates the magical filibuster free card for passing a law, which is why the byrd rule and the 1970s budget act are totally stupid. congress absolutely has to pass a series of bills each year for funding the various major priorities, but these functions have grown way too complicated to ever put all them in 1 single bill
    2
  1177. Derek S nope, he's got a video on a Wouser already.
    2
  1178. so does this italian gun pretending to be french attract italian gun collectors looking for italian guns, or french gun collectors looking for french guns
    2
  1179. 20,000 rev 1 cylinder would be an angry little engine
    2
  1180. man this thing looks like someone scoured it with a wire brush
    2
  1181. if they made james bond movies back when this was more common, this would absolutely have been something the bad guys would have been using, skiing down a mountain after him
    2
  1182. "Lets run a low coolant, high power test" "Steve.... lets not melt the reactor today."
    2
  1183. Ya. I had some machinists build a plexiglass guard on a machine, they cut out this slot for one of the moving parts and were going to build this box when I pointed out I can just add an offset to the operating program to home it above the guard
    2
  1184. what were they thinking with that sight, its just begging to get broken off
    2
  1185. I think its kind of obvious where that would have gone given that unfettered capitalism is literally destroying the world and has no intention to stop as that's infringing on their right to make money
    2
  1186. oh boy, this is a big topic
    2
  1187. If the british sent a carrier, hopefully they don't withdraw to the south west, because the Yamato was steaming in from the north east at the end of the battle
    2
  1188.  @aaronhilfiker  ssshhh dont tell them
    2
  1189. TikTok is an absolutely fascinatingly shitty platform for disseminating information
    2
  1190. and this is why the ar is such a pain in the ass to classify when the nfa hasn't been updated in 70 years because of the upper/lower construction
    2
  1191. 510 tons of cobalt in one weapon would be impractically large, most nuclear weapons weigh only up to like 10-20 tons because you have to deliver them, but that kind of makes things worse if you remember the us and russia possess around 80,000 nuclear warheads in mostly missile delivered warheads
    2
  1192. love how literally everything else melted before the nozzle
    2
  1193. not to be confused with bowling green ohio, bowling green kentucky or bowling green the college
    2
  1194. This officer must have been chumming it up with the Elbonian arms officer at the same time. A nagant revolver in .44 winchester is perfectly up their alley
    2
  1195. there's a joke that Dayton told him he could only take one of the Wright Brother's workshops
    2
  1196. people will pay to get their shitty apple products fixed at his store instead of getting tossed in the trash at apple's stores
    2
  1197. yo I think you got some shotgun in that wood
    2
  1198. idk most of the crazy benefits went only to the top upper crust of tech, hundreds of thousands of workers just went to offices around the country
    2
  1199. I had the pleasure of touring their Evansville plant some years ago, they had a display of the GE engine
    2
  1200. the funny thing is the romans were just on the cusp of industrialized but they never really made that intuitive leap, but then europeans only made the leap because they needed to make better cannons. the need for iron drove the invention of a steam water pump, cannon boring techniques were used directly for creating a better steam engine, and in turn the industrial revolution began blackpowder really was such a paradigm shift in human power, in that it put engineering and science out front
    2
  1201. ya they threw him off a crane into the water
    2
  1202. this is exactly the way conservative "thinkers" are trained to debate, in that they have their own facts and if other facts are contravened by reality, keep attacking.
    2
  1203. technically at least the 60s if you consider nobody really wanted the m16 either
    2
  1204. really seems like these massive gigantic sports events should try to do something to lower their costs and stadium needs
    2
  1205. Lol, Ian from Forgotten Weapons was just talking about wanting to see this someday, didn't know about this colab
    2
  1206. czechoslovakian james bond
    2
  1207. whalebacks had a lot of issues with scaling up the hullform to increase internal space, and couldn't work with mechanical unloaders and the seals didn't always work so they could flood pretty badly since they have like 3 feet of freeboard. they worked great as sealed barges on the great lakes since you can pull them along in any weather
    2
  1208.  @unvergebeneid  airbus came about not through british but french and german consolidation, and RR would have their own problems on commerical jets such as the lockheed tristar
    2
  1209. it really was a war of stupidity on all sides though the US probably ended up worse for wear with the fighting happening here but better off geographically since we were then free to expand westward along the great lakes unimpeded by the british
    2
  1210. I can't imagine scrapping an 1850s ship of the line in the late 1920s, that's absolutely crazy
    2
  1211.  @SomeGuy-vo7we  ya but it doesn't reliably kill/vaporize, i mean like only 4 people ever got killed by those things
    2
  1212. theres something objectively funny about how long it took for britain to do this
    2
  1213. seem to forget the soviet union getting blasted in the 80s, idk what you'd call afghanistan but there absolutely were real battles, and everything wrong with the soviet military carried over to the russian military and has carried into the 21st century
    2
  1214. they could save more money by nationalizing their utilities
    2
  1215. the problem with the soviet suit is I think NASA wouldn't have been able to give it the space in the vehicle, nor would the soviets for that matter, their lander was even smaller than the LEM. they had to bring these suits back with them for study, so they needed to be able to stow them in a compact space
    2
  1216. in the remake they just used the original as a hat to cover their underground construction yard
    2
  1217. couldn't happen to a better guy. ruined two companies my father worked for and when the guy got into the trump WH it was nothing but scum
    2
  1218. there's probably a situation for this but I cam't think of it. They still sell them though so they must be useful still.
    2
  1219. Was the captain a distant relative to a Jerremy Clarkson?
    2
  1220. that's a cursed computer
    2
  1221. these guys also have a lot of duplicates that could be split off too
    2
  1222. look if you have the double 1911, you have to have the double ar-15
    2
  1223. Bonzi Buddy he's addressed this before, spain at that time did not believe in international copyright law, therefore if you had some capital and some detailed plans... you could get away with anything
    2
  1224. these are like the equivalent of the Fletcher for the brits isn't it
    2
  1225. tbf, I don't think there's a lot of productive work being done by STS contractors considering the shuttles are all in museums, but we're still paying them for SLS which should launch aaaaaaaaannnny daaaaay now
    2
  1226.  @welshdragon99  zumwalt would have been fine if we ordered the 30 of them we said we were going to. The chinese certainly would have been worried about a series of stealth cruisers since they've put everything into missiles but since we only built the 2 and can't seem to find someone to make ammo for their guns they're an interesting footnote in naval design (so far...)
    2
  1227. a mildly interesting thing is there is no more coal being formed after bacteria began breaking down lignin, after that you only get much smaller bits of coal forming from peat bogs
    2
  1228. That's not just any lawyer, that's Ralph Nadder, the guy who took on GM and the Big Three and is still oddly villified on the right for some reason
    2
  1229. everytime adam has a hammer and the objects in his hands at the same time I cringed, i know he's not gonna do it but I couldn't guarantee i wouldn't
    2
  1230. I imagine it had something to do with a smiling grandpa to the north
    2
  1231. the post war relationship was bizarre in its own right, the USSR tried to buy IBM mainframes from the US and almost succeeded and the british did trade 2nd generation jet engines with them
    2
  1232. well the lady in front of me at the restaurant said its unemployment even though my state hasn't had the enhance unemployment for like 5 months, and if you were on it in march last year you'd have expended your 18 months by now, but hey she probably knows more than I do. Also when I was on it even with the enhanced benefit I was only making 15$/hour compared to my significantly more
    2
  1233. can't really work around the physics but engineers can use different motor designs for electric vehicles to minimize their use
    2
  1234. this feels like a seinfeld bit. "Ya well, if you look past all these bad things....at least we got a few good things!" "Jerry, they're all closed." Bump da doo da da dwaaa!
    2
  1235. Drach is speaking in tongues for the squarespace ad or speaking welsh, I'm not sure if there's a difference
    2
  1236. I can almost justify this if you planned on at a slightly later time parting the officers from their outrageous swords, like "Well you got a stabby thing on your gun, why do you need a saber now?"
    2
  1237. for once the USSR had a gun just in time for the thing they're building it to fight
    2
  1238. Some say Elbonia has a large surplus stockpile of these things just waiting for someone to buy them up
    2
  1239. I wonder if at this point there ought to be a bit in the manual for these things that says "put a stick in the beam first and see if it explodes first."
    2
  1240. Britain: "Modernize all these carriers at the added expense, we'll need them later." Also Britain: "Sell all the modernised ones for pennies on the pound, we can't afford to have anything good anymore." Say what you will about US defense spending, the brits are in a league of their own when it comes to waste
    2
  1241. wow didn't know tito actually tried to go nuclear
    2
  1242. what do you do when your reactor keeps scramming? Keep spamming the override of course
    2
  1243. ​ @okwhatevev I don't disagree that trades aren't important but plumbers, electricians and HVAC guys aren't going to fill the gap for engineers, scientists, doctors, and other high skilled positions. not everybody should go to college, not everybody should go to tradeschools
    2
  1244. there's been pistols like that where it only partially ejects the magazine
    2
  1245. The Enterprize could take on 2 QEs and win
    2
  1246. Weird, when they moved to publicly run construction instead of 2 contractors they had better productivity.
    2
  1247. think ATF is bad, my one site had a Smithers NADCAP auditor almost strike my site's license to manufacture aviation parts because the door said ISO 9000-2004 when we were ISO 9000-2014, though he had found a single glaring issue by being so hard as well.
    2
  1248. Is an Ekronoplan a plane that sinks or a ship that flies?
    2
  1249. tbf, there's a reasonable explanation for having that book, used book stores do exist
    2
  1250. Rrolf hey that actually sounds immensely practical, rotate the bolt inserts the screw, pull trigger it springs back
    2
  1251. think we all did
    2
  1252.  @0Turbox  the g43 was germany's self loading rifle, but they had about a bajillion k98's plus military leaders were brickheads to think faster rate of fire was bad when the same arguments were leveled about bolt action rifles
    2
  1253. 25:29 The only time this comes to mind is if someone had like 3 prototypes of a specific model but even then that's fairly rare
    2
  1254. titanium really is nuts, its half the weight but the same or greater hardness of a comparable steel
    2
  1255. using a spy plane as a bomber has a singular big issue, your enemies might just push the big red button thinking a deep strike is coming instead of just a bunch of pictures
    2
  1256. German Uboats be like "We're gonna need a bigger torpedo."
    2
  1257. a lot more were destroyed by cutting them down to fit the newer military styles of officer swords, like Ian mentioned
    2
  1258. presumably being officer kit, it probably came in its own leather pouch
    2
  1259. the interesting thing is that the earlier procedure was very targeted, it was the later lobotomy procedure that was used so casually because it was relatively easy to pull off since they indiscriminately shaved off parts of the brain
    2
  1260. basically every submarine until the 1950s. Even the US's submarine force had frighteningly high casualties compared to say Germany where it was like a 5 out of 6 chance you were going to die. the second world war really paved the way for submarine development as nobody really wanted to spend the money to really work out the problems until then
    2
  1261. ah the main camo pattern of elbonia
    2
  1262.  @bobsmith2637  ya but it is suprising how close to big steam engines you can get at the county shows
    2
  1263. Ok, I'm not gonna blame her but it does seem like it didn't do too good of a job escorting carriers
    2
  1264. a battleship is in the eyes of the navy they're designed in. we had the alaskas while the iowas were as armored as any of the standards but with much more speed and firepower
    2
  1265. 24:42 they almost built an ironclad
    2
  1266. chernkov radiation is basically a death sentence
    2
  1267. kind of interesting that the nra won't touch the import ban good job on uzi though for not letting someone's greed beat him
    2
  1268. Admiral's Report: Bombs hit here, here, here, possibly here... ect ect My Report: Ya its fuckered
    2
  1269. Not sure oil revanues are going to stay as high as they did in jan-august because they've basically stopped all exports to europe and Inda/China/turkey aren't buying oil at the same price the europeans were
    2
  1270. Ian's 3 steps to success in ww1 (for france) Step 1: Buy the hotchkiss machinegun Step 2: Buy a lot of hotchkiss machineguns Step 3: Actually use the darn things Bonus: get a plumber to make you a sub machinegun in 1906
    2
  1271. has to be shredded, repackaged, shipped to refiners, then remelted, and then shipped out scrap steel also has very low profitability. recyclers just don't want it
    2
  1272. huh, when you see something on a weapon in TF2 and find it was a real product
    2
  1273. 3 dudes crapping in bags, at least one of them was usually sick
    2
  1274. The luftwaffa had slightly larger supply issues by 44, namely the lack of planes
    2
  1275. I'm not sure tight maneuvering is really going to be viable with this plane, the sr71 didn't have that much of an issue blacking out pilots because turning too hard too fast and it'd disintegrate
    2
  1276. Wow that's incredibly dumb and tragic. They essentially Homer Simpson problem solved on a chemical refinery
    2
  1277. lol britain, your entire news is owned by an Australian, american citizen
    2
  1278. look, an iowa class battleship needs an equivalent sized cruiser if only to confuse the range finders on the japanese by playing with object scale at range
    2
  1279. I remember the c130 stunt was deamed practical but so extremely dangerous as to never do it again
    2
  1280. had never heard of these before they don't seem to be too common in the US, and the wikipedia entry for this topic is very oddly written like someone copy-pasted it out of a project proposal instead
    2
  1281. I swear there must have been an ork at ordinance at that time somehow "Our carriers keep sinking!" "Did you put more dakka on it?" "....." "Put more dakka on it!"
    2
  1282. not a very good disassembly process
    2
  1283.  @marvin19966  somewhat. At the end of the day there's hand steps involved in everything even if its feeding raw materials into automated machinery, its just we're doing the automation and design, but still placing the factory in cheap labor markets, so we're making less jobs, and still abusing the 3rd world. Just my take as someone who's worked in companies where I've seen the high tech plant be built overseas because the accountants are just addicted to china even if its nearly criminally negligent to do so since our IP goes out the back door there.
    2
  1284. its really a well written character that sees a guy's head strapped to a turtle, that's also a bomb, kill his friends, and is maybe rethinking his gung-ho attitude to life.
    2
  1285. my guess is firearms laws will be tweeked after everything is resolved
    2
  1286. I wonder if that pistol grip wasn't based on someone else using the AR like vietnamese troops who ARPA found had trouble using US standard sized weapons because they were just smaller
    2
  1287. tbf, its expected target was a longboat
    2
  1288. seems like a number of interesting stories there from the bren to the soviet years to the modern time
    2
  1289. love how propulsion is just a hundred little engines stuck off the side of the ship
    2
  1290. i wonder if it is just so much less possible today because of better primer chemistry and was more of a possibility back then especially in the earlier days of cartidges because of the chemistry of the early primers making them less predictable and maybe more sensitive
    2
  1291. depends on what you're trying to do. military aircraft don't strictly use wet wings like military jets because they expect them to get shot at, while commercial airliners use wet wings because they need the space in the middle of the plane. sometimes they have no choice, the c5 galaxy has a giant fuel tank in the middle of the wingbox because it has to fly across the world
    2
  1292. this thing is a nightmare for people who are disassembling tesla packs to rebuild others or build other EVs
    2
  1293. burn it, burn it, burn it all down!
    2
  1294. the navy has their own seperate helicopter competition that they picked a winner for
    2
  1295. ​ @mattparker9726  I've heard this from every ac/heater guy, my electrician, and half the companies at my regional renovation show but my utility bill says otherwise, gas is a deceptive bill they take the average over the year then calculate your usage and lock your rate
    2
  1296. Sun to solar panel "Look at what they need to do to mimic a fraction of my power!"
    2
  1297. magazines were very difficult to reliably manufacture back then, and well mostly up to like the modern day, but clip systems were also substantially cheaper, lighter and easier to ship in that time so it made way more sense
    2
  1298. not only is the gas corrosive, its radioactive!
    2
  1299. no both the lunar module and the csm used an AGC which had rope and core memory. the lunar module even had a simplified backup computer to launch and orient the spacecraft if the AGC died for some reason
    2
  1300. 13:55 Someone's got a famas or other 3 round gun in the background?
    2
  1301.  @siraff4461  im really not sure how they get such poor range out of it but 100 miles isn't that bad if you just take it out for a ride around the area every week, id guess that most motorcyclists aren't taking 300 mile trips routinely
    2
  1302. every talking head that says "Just negotiate with your boss" has never tried working outside of the types professional jobs where that works. Nowhere I've ever worked bar one company, did the boss have any power over pay scale, I left a job because even though my boss tried all he could, he couldn't follow through on my contract-to-hire position because the corporate headquarters had changed owners and was going to freeze all positions for the next year so I was going to be stuck working for less pay than my coworkers for an unspecified time until they'd convert me after working there for half a year knowing I'd have been converted to a full position with full pay and benefits
    2
  1303. I like to throw stones too but we in the US took way too long to armor our flight decks too
    2
  1304. 16:00 Wait so he's using the Enron system of future profits to valuate realestate holdings
    2
  1305. "makes it quieter and sound like an AK" not that I'm familiar with the differences but I thought the AK was substantially louder than an AR or does it just change the tone
    2
  1306. "soma, an opioid-like drug that makes you happy" so its just the same as opioids and antidepressants
    2
  1307. I don't even get the case bit because if you unscrew the barrel extension it would easily fit in that case
    2
  1308. reminds me of a scene from some transformer movie where while the transformers are tearing up everything and destroying towns on an apocalyptic scale, The local chinese police force competently handles the situation and everything is fine.
    2
  1309. hard to find outside Tokyo Bay
    2
  1310. This is one of those ideas that looks way cooler in your head. While your soldiers are firing a dozen rounds a minute, the mg08 gunner just opens up with hundreds of rounds a minute
    2
  1311. I really feel like what trump and his campaign were attempting to do smacks of being RICO
    2
  1312. How dare those women pocket scraps of cloth! think of the money we're loosing
    2
  1313. always love the german safety markings No Bullet > Bullet > All the Bullets (not pictured)
    2
  1314. Are these sub-killers or are these going to be better at hunting surface vessels?
    2
  1315. Can we stop for a moment and appreciate John Soloman was the reason why Trump did the things that got him impeached, and he hires him only to mishandle a really damaging letter as well.
    2
  1316. 42:34 my guess is if these things were sitting around come ww2, they'd be the blocking ships sunk at normandy to form the breakwater for the mulberry ports, maybe a few get reactivated during the dunkirk retreat even. something like an old ironclad or predread would probably be good for this since they have long beams and heavy hulls
    2
  1317. the congressional mandate is so ridiculoutly dumb, SLS is not using the shuttle's main tank for anything, its a core stage constructed of carbon fiber and is basically an entirely new tank structure externally and internally to accomidate the larger storage needs and account for the different fuel flow pattern, yet its "a shuttle tank" to lawmakers because its orange
    2
  1318. I wonder if this level of mechanical control was just way more important back then due to poorer quality and manufacturing standards
    2
  1319. they accidentally made a walkable city by forgetting to put roads lol
    2
  1320. that styling makes it look like a large frame PPK
    2
  1321.  @MrChainsawAardvark  the brits still had problems getting torpedoes to detonate right when they went to war in the falklands in the 1980s
    2
  1322. Jesus of Lubeck is always such a anachronistic name to me whenever you mention her. You should mention her more
    2
  1323. or deterance theory is bunk and crime is an effect of some other indepentant factor or factors.
    2
  1324. not sure why karmov would put turbofans and turboprops on the same airframe.
    2
  1325. I'm not a physicist but I do have enough scientific background (also read enough hard scifi) kind of to know that if something approaching our solar system as fast as these UFOs are supposed to go, braking to enter our solar system would release an enormous amounts of energy that every radio telescope would be lit up across the planet by the emissions
    2
  1326. it just looks like colt went to vecktor and asked if they could make their baretta clone but with worse handling for their american audience who did not deserve nice handling pistols
    2
  1327. "How do you fix things like the loss of the bow?" Step 1) Find the furthest forward intact frame Step 2) Work Backwards
    2
  1328. that looks so much like the halo battle rifle (I know its inspired by the famas)
    2
  1329. Kinda thought the doubletaps were your problem
    2
  1330. ​ @Hybris51129  probably just a titanium reciever would make things much lighter
    2
  1331. I don't know about the brightness but there is a consumer safety standard for how hot a flashlight can get. my company got a couple dozen pallets of flashlights returned because the lights were handwarmers when they're turned on. They gave them out for christmas
    2
  1332. the investor class has not had to feel the same pain that the rest of literally all of the world has.
    2
  1333. its an interesting book, I hope I can pick it up at some point, I can't quite afford it at the moment
    2
  1334. Britain could never run out of ship names, just some of the older names like Indestructable were probably too laughable to put on a quick built ship
    2
  1335.  @bdillon3747  ya but then they'd have to figure out how to write the ships name down on their own forms
    2
  1336. "based on a S&W59 which itself is based on a Browning High Power" so its a browning highpower just fancier
    2
  1337. I can't imagine the US would ever feel the need to intervene to derail the formation of an EU of South America, certainly there's no historical precedent
    2
  1338. in a vacuum, yes but the 20th century would have many worse 'experiments' conducted on humans sadly.
    2
  1339.  @mirandapanda5439  do Nazi stuff to babies like surgically experimenting on them in concentration camps
    2
  1340. Dirty Harry and Magnum Force are absolutely great. every other one is kind of bad for the same reasons you point out
    2
  1341. A pissed off Western west roman empire returning back to europe with a thousand legions of men and enough ships to walk across the med would be a hell of a great alt history
    2
  1342. U-864, now there's an environmental disaster of a wreck. the more it rusts the more mercury it spills into the surrounding ocean
    2
  1343. Today: The Uzi you have at home
    2
  1344. shell companies and corporate persons as a whole were a mistake and the judges and lawmakers that insist they are actual persons are insane because you cannot physically punish a corporation
    2
  1345. as much as I don't think tilt-rotors work all that well, bell has been flying for like 4 years before this had its first flight
    2
  1346. yoikes, people stop hording toilet paper its causing shortages in other paper
    2
  1347. I find it funny too that he seems to absolutely hate the interior of his new home since its very traditional styled and a bit dated with no tech infrastructure
    2
  1348. if only the safety bike had been around, we could have had an engagement of british bike cavalry charging up the beaches for colonialism
    2
  1349. interestingly the book Radiance, when covering chernobyl had quotes from eye witnesses from nearby villages reporting seeing a rainbow of colored fireflies in the night sky, which I presume might have been caused by the radioactive particles interacting with the atmosphere and the various other combustion byproducts from the fires. They also reported seeing a purple glow, which we do see in high flux reactors but probably was also from the radioactive material interacting with the fire.
    2
  1350. that's an interesting and possibly helpful observation.
    2
  1351. ya I can see that, the t44 they got to mess around with cast turret armor and advances with tank design that happened in ww2, but couldn't be produced right at the moment, but by being bigger and a very promising side project let them keep developing it
    2
  1352. someday I wonder if they'll do Wicked, Son of a Witch, and Not So Cowardly Lion as a movie/series, they're really interesting books especially the Son of a Witch, where he's essentially wandering the world trying to figure out who he is
    2
  1353. this feels like they completed the assignment succesfully wrong. as things went you got a long musket with a shortish blade not a short gun on a long spear (as they said these were more prestige weapons)
    2
  1354. huh funny. I worked for a company that was bidding to get parts on this thing, it was seen at the time as a big deal since they assumed the japanese government would at least buy a bunch of these
    2
  1355. "He reportedly wandered the streets at night in disguise with a massive sword killing anyone he disagreed with" ya that's totally a thing normal people do

  1360. it looks like if you described a webley over the phone to a gunsmith
    2
  1361. I'm starting to think a loyalty pledge to the GOP is part of the Federalist Society's criteria to be put on their approval list. No republican appointed judge has been put on the bench in the last 40 years without their approval and that's scary
    2
  1362. a 30 round bolt action, what could you not like
    2
  1363. why on earth would they build the frf 2 in the 90s when they had the advantage of like 50 years of development and commercial snipers
    2
  1364. 6:30 EVEN DRACH FORGETS ABOUT RANGER, well I think she was in drydock too BUT STILL!

  1365. I worked back-to-back 12 hour weekend shifts on rotation and night shift at one of 2 plants in the US that make a pharmacutical ingredient needed for nearly every medicine, I enjoyed it at times but man, half the quality staff like me were temps and we were not paid nearly enough especially with the plant workers filling bags making more than we did with college degrees. when I got an offer for 15k more on a job that was much less work I took it even though I did enjoy the work
    2
  1366.  @michaelali4488  90% of US taxpayers take the standard deduction which means 90% of US taxpayers pay less than 12k individually in taxes per year, so unless congress decides to massively raise taxes beyond any reasonable amount, you're still going to have the vast majority of americans not really seeing any changes in their taxes

  1370. northrop was really into flying wings
    2
  1371. Jim Griffiths the problem is that the authority has already hijacked this, now science is opinion, reality is subjective, and there's no way to convince people they're being lied to because they have fallen into the same appeal to authority trap, only they've been conditioned to only appeal to nefarious, doubious actors. people like fox news because it places the blame squarely on one thing, it convinces them that things are bad not because they are but because of somebody trying to make them so, they deffer to fox, even as the network is all agenda driven and that agenda is and always has been to prop up conservative ideology and prevent another watergate scenario where a conservative was taken down because of what they did, even if that isn't what's right for our country or world

  1374. and yet in the US impact was relatively limited because of our robust fda regulation system. Good thing we have patriots like grover norquest who's gotten people to murder regulations
    2
  1375. imagine if the rail industry hadn't so heavily invested in car suburbs
    2
  1376. this is exactly what tobacco or oil does. they convince the workers that what they do is the most vital thing in the world and then they scare the hell out of them about it going away

  1385. Maybe the use of the B-Bomb was classified if it was as deadly in practice as sources indicate, it seems like it just vanished by the start of the war
    2
  1386. its a neat mix of 'new' and 'old' technology you don't usually see make it out of prototyping. its 1880s in the back, 1920s in the front

  1387. I'd still buy the harbor freight equivalent which looks a bit nicer and costs about 20$ more
    2
  1388. humanity's ability for projection jever ceases to amaze given that these days the average russian general is more worried about their stock portfolios than their troops on the battlefield
    2
  1389. I do find it funny that unlike a lot of major powers the USN and USArmy had no problem building competing airforces because they both hated each other too much to work together and neither one had enough clout to overpower the other, so letting them just do their own things and give them the money to do so was seen as the compromise, even after ww2 when both branches were independently developing space programs
    2
  1390. weird because barbers have been able to do that for centuries, all before factories.
    2
  1391. 600 levers? if only modern florida made voting so accessable
    2
  1392. the K-Class blimps were a better use of helium in ww2 vs the large airships of the pre-war era after all they could be tended at sea which i don't think any of the us airships could have been
    2
  1393. nickel and cobalt are stupidly expensive right now
    2
  1394. all guns forward battlecruiser, pretty bold considering at least the nelsons could backup that stance with armor
    2
  1395. "Its zeroed at the factory and then you don't touch it because you can't be trusted." Stazi say "Name go on list."
    2
  1396. kind of funny to think the european armies who were using massive amounts of unconventional weaponry just overlooked pump action shotguns, but like Ian said they wouldn't have thought about buckshot, or even been aware pump guns exist
    2
  1397.  @Battleship009  the US got in very late on the dreadnought craze, thus we had the standard battleships which kind of stretched from pre to super dreadnoughts which did a lot of good by getting sunk in the opening salvos of ww2
    2
  1398. so there was some factory out there that had a pile of workers that just cranked out these spy guns without questuon
    2
  1399. We quickly added "Find them" which was important after the japanese proved to be sneaky with their navies. and "If not sunk after 2nd try, hit torpedo with wrench until armed"
    2
  1400. "For God and Ulster, but not those damn catholic's God, our protestant God, just to be very clear." Didn't fit on the stamp
    2
  1401. why do we keep building parabolic buildings clad in glass! they gotta teach this shit in architecture school
    2
  1402. the only issue I've ever had with LED lights was at an intersection where at the right time of lighting, because of their new improved brightness, the green on one signal illuminates the green light on another signal. this intersection was originally built without hoods on the lights though, and I noticed after a string of accidents in that one spot, they quietly added hoods to the lights, solving the problem
    2
  1403. we could plan for a shortage of sand, or we could let the free market decide until we're in a crisis

    2
  1409. ​ @zestygokart2992  it remains to be seen if these changes result in a satisfactory outcome, other russian shortcuts don't end up all that cost effective in the long run either

    2
  1414. ah yes, the oft forgotten assault tricycle
    2
  1415. ya, wealth inequality isn't simply a symptom of the world getting richer, we have had larger gains in wealth in other periods where the political systems forced the wealth downwards and inequality did not grow so unevenly

  1420. give the elbonians a bunch of Echo II boats from the Soviets.

  1421. My dad used to drive everywhere with a detector, never understood that since by the time its beeping, you've already been scanned, and those don't detect lasers or other non radar guns

    2
  1423. didn't peter the great literally learn how to build a ship by moonlighting at a british shipyard
    2
  1424. grenade shotgun, it really just feels like it should be that obvious, yet it sounds like everybody beat around the bush on it.
    2
  1425. in ohio First Energy literally bought most of the legislature and got billions in bailouts for only 100ish million dollars. the ones who didn't get indicted say they're gonna repeal the legislation but its been 2 months and there's nothing but crickets as ohio tax dollars obstensively for nuclear power plants on the lake go to fund a coal powerplant in indiana
    2
  1426. huh, i think the first design was maybe better fitting with today's understandings of what cities should be. the smaller blocks would have allowed denser city planning, and maybe better use of the sprawl
    2
  1427. nobody said they adopted the results
    2
  1428. "fortunately for the allies only a few were built" This is unfortunate for the pilots who were unable to bag themselves a jet bomber kill
    2
  1429. I think Franklin would be maybe more patient with the crazy technology, the man invented quite a lot, made quite a few predictions on the future applications of technology. Don't hand him a phone, hand him an ice cool coke can, he was among the first to demonstrate refrigeration, electrolysis, and understood mass production as a principle
    2
  1430. The difference between Plowshare and Chariot was that the USA really never had any intention to use nukes peacefully, it was just a fun way to proliferate nuclear technology in front of everybody, the USSR went and did it though
    2
  1431. kind of makes sense when you think about it though, without the need for all the diesel fuel, you can make a sub that goes 2x as far, does 2x the work, for less size, plus nautilus was as much a test of nuclear tech as it was new hullforms so its not as big as it could have been built
    2
  1432. now go put this next to a glock lol
    2
  1433. Buy a digital caliper, its such a stupidly useful tool from getting the scale of things on a computer screen to figuring out whether you have a 2.5mm or 3mm m2 screw. Its just such an intuitive thing to be able to set the points to a size or put the points up to something and get a good gage of its size, especially if you're translating things from a digital medium to a physical one
    2
  1434. why would anyone want to use a literary device that was specifically written to never work. that's the whole point of them is they're a false security and every robots book deals with them failing
    2
  1435. as if they weren't all sold out already
    2
  1436. funny how europe's gun laws are up front maybe more stringent but once you're past the gatekeepers they can be much more permissive than the US
    2
  1437. pretty beat up for a gun coming out of a country who's total contribution to both world wars was to be a slight speed bump for germany still interesting, detachable barrels but no larger magazine capacity
    2
  1438. If my boomer former coworkers are to be believed, as long as we don't elect democrats they'll be fine. Because democrats are bad for people who have money.
    2
  1439. probably edited it around the best responses by John
    2
  1440. how can he sit there and smile being told he's directly causing bomb threats to hospitals in his state
    2
  1441. In britain, their constitution doesn't say anything, because they don't have one, instead its just an endless series of laws
    2
  1442. 3d printed glass filled nylon would break pretty quickly, though a handguard would probably work just fine
    2
  1443. gee i wonder how italian arms ended up in ethiopia...
    2
  1444. seems like it would have been better to just move everybody out of the town and build another town somewhere else
    2
  1445. tbf the majority of dam disasters happened in the first half of the 20th century, today its exceedingly rare for a dam collapse from construction faults
    2
  1446. the birth of the military industrial complex right here!
    2
  1447. 1:42 tbf, there was a proposal for an early draft of ULA's new Vulcan to include a V8 engine running hydrogen and oxygen to spin the pumps, thus removing the need for complicated turbines and premix systems
    2
  1448. one head speaks only lies, one head only speaks the truth

  1450. Hey my old boss was the site manager at this place, he was such an a$$hole
    2
  1451. but being 60s ford it probably came with broken parts that could only be replaced with genuine OEM Broken Parts
    2
  1452. more like a bren gun
    2
  1453. the thing was the japanese had the tendency at least in the early years to leave the landings uncontested and rely on defense-in-depth instead. This changed as the war progressed but that's why early war naval landings were 'easier' against the japanese
    2
  1454. naval armor went out the window because airplanes and the very large guns of the time had made it impossible to make a ship survivable enough to justify armor. Tanks still survive because they have the mix of mobility, protection, and heavy firepower that makes them difficult to pin down like old battleships
    2
  1455. Eamon Reis its the policy of lobbiests to not go after the import ban...
    2
  1456. casual c96 mauser or maybe a wauhser? sitting there, not sure how that got to the soloman isles could have been dutch, could have been chinese or could have just been japanese which is wild
    2
  1457. really kind of disproves a lot of the pro fossil fuel politician's arguments that there's no way to do without continual increases in oil production, the economy didn't collapse, countries did spend a lot more on energy but the long term plan will actually help a lot more than anyone could have envisioned
    2
  1458. yaaaaaaaah paul was bad at the whole ruler thing. His dad was kind of bad at it as well, though we're given to believe that everybody was bad at being rulers in Dune
    2
  1459. 1 Month ago: "russia auctioned off all their t55's so its unlikely they'll be in ukraine." 1 month later: Russia starts running t54/t55's in ukraine

  1461. VW: "W16! hahaha!" Also VW: Cries in W16 noises
    2
  1462. the project's primary goal was to spread NASA money across dozens of states, a mission capability achieved quite early on, getting to space is a bonus
    2
  1463. ah a short one today I see, only 1.5 perun videos long
    2
  1464. "Today I'm at Inter Ordinance's break room to show you this weird gun!"
    2
  1465. 20:10 How to give a bunch of sailors CTE with this one easy trick!
    2
  1466. its weird that by the late 80s they chose to copy a 1930s pistol instead of like a glock or something
    2
  1467. to be fair, a lot of his weapons are forgotten for the reason that they don't work all that well. Plus a lot of propshops who supply the henchmen tend to find lots of oddball weapons
    2
  1468. Like he said, totally outdated from inception, they were probably pulled from service rather quickly and replaced with the hotter grenade firing weapons
    2
  1469. like said in the video, the hanford site's similar reactor was water cooled and couldn't melt down in the same way. they only built this really because the US wouldn't share anything from the manhatten project till the late 50s
    2
  1470. What a weird time in US Naval history when you could spend your entire training on wooden ships, or gravel, and then find yourself on a dreadnought

  1474. Eminent domain for pipelines: Sure Eminent Domain for highways: Sure Eminent Domain for dedicated Light Rail: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
    2
  1475. kurtz shared almost all the same features as their 8mm mauser, just a shorter case. its not quite as bad as say Italy's 11mm and 6mm ammo issues though they probably should have tied to use a full power cartridge for the sake of keeping ammo the same
    2
  1476. british ww2 EVERYTHING
    2
  1477. you're not strictly wrong because most of the garrisons were running but that wasn't the russian planner's intention
    2
  1478. Too bad libertarianism basically created a free pass to return to such crazy economic strangulation and things like white vrievance has kept the middle class from actually pushing back against the current pile of trusts we have
    2
  1479.  @hanszimmer9224  2k/year is still like 1/5tth of a semester in the average US institute, even community college will run more than 2k a semester
    2
  1480. 2 minutes hate, more like 2 hours of fox news or any rupert murdoch controlled media outlet

  1482. this seems to be the best use of tax dollars from what I've seen. Stopping a fraud, pissing him off in the process.
    2
  1483. Going out of Business is a milestone moment for any gun company in the US
    2

  1486. @ohbusiness2 you're right, Corvette Summer is such a memorable role that he will be remembered for even if he never went on to make anything else.
    2
  1487. this is a significant problem with early polymers and plastics
    2
  1488.  @FirstDagger  I can't unsee it as being the B-2-1 being the second version of the B-2 since both should be visually similar
    2
  1489. the most german of germans
    2
  1490. I'm not sure I'd rate this that high on the severity scale, its absolutely a milestone in aircraft safety and rightly deserves its place on the legacy scale, but air travel at the time wasn't nearly safe enough to make this that much of an outlier. there were accidents from other manufacturers at the time with as much loss of life, its just the comet was being pushed out so rapidly and was such a prestige project
    2
  1491. Integza: I shall build a pump! Most People: Wonder what happens if I use the power washer while on the skateboard
    2
  1492. good to see its getting a refresh, both the Apollo and general space exhibits were ancient, like they had a huge room practically dedicated to the space shuttle
    2
  1493. well, the problem was eugenics put the cart before the horse. we know today with our genetic tools and massive computational and statistical capabilities, that there really isn't this hypethetical superman. Human biology could be improved slightly by removing certain risk factors for diseases but there's not really much we can do to make people smarter, stronger, and overall healthier purely by selective breeding or genetic engineering.
    2
  1494.  @MrHellknightimp  relative differences. Humans aren't really that different in capabilities. Much of the differences in height and build comes from nutrition instead of genetics, as evidences by rising average heights in developing countries and plateaued heights in developed ones, and skin color really is about the most superficial genetic difference that people get hung up over. A black person has the same internal organs as an asian, and the same internal organs as a white person. its just a few genes changing the color of pigment the skin produces.
    2
  1495. that's also why your midwest grain elevator is built tougher than most military bunkers because a lot of them predate climate controls so worst case they contain any explosion and prevent it from igniting any other individual silos. that's also why they never bother to tear down disused elevator complexes because they're too tough to blast or demo
    2
  1496. shouldn't have leased to russia, they knew it was an authoritarian regime already under sanctions
    2
  1497. he covered it in the last video, long recoil only needs a tiny amount of ejection force since the case has nearly no pressure in it by the time it ejects
    2
  1498. The problem is that you need to cycle the gun before the pressure drops. A straight pull rifle you cycle the gun after all the gas has left the gun
    2
  1499. There's some funny things like this when you go writing these sort of definitions into laws. Recently it was pointed out to me that in DOT regs to be able to use Dangerous placards in a load that contains just 1 hazard, a driver could toss a bottle of water in the back of the trailer and bam, suddenly 2 classes of items, thus they can use the lazy dangerous goods placard instead of a specific hazard placard
    2
  1500. its how you cut diamonds in the 1700s, hit them very strategically with a hammer

  1502. now this is Magnum Force
    2
  1503. This is basically the Brave New World, as it was driven primarily by depression followed by expansive conquest and bloody crushing of everything opposing the technocracy
    2
  1504. so the GOP made the problem, then campaigned for the last 30 years to make it worse, and bill clinton provided the pen.
    2
  1505. that would require the supreme court to put itself deep into election law, something the gop picked 'originalists' have resented, unless its to uphold voting restrictions
    2
  1506. gotta get those engines swapped out though, the engines on the b52 are ancient
    2
  1507. Man the Hanseatic League was a weird time to be English
    2
  1508. and my state's emissions check system learned nothing and went back to OBDI only testing data after reverting to tailpipe testing for a year when this broke. Like they still have the dyno and testing equipment there but since no car made before obdi needs to be emission checked anymore they decided its still not worth actually testing cars
    2
  1509. I wish I had known about phase diagrams when I was doing advanced thermodynamics
    2
  1510. huh, I always thought WD-40 stood for Weight Distribution-40, indicating an average carbon chain length of 40 in the oil
    2
  1511. faux-mas
    2
  1512. they looked like the big ones from eaglemos
    2
  1513. I think Ian just went with whatever one he had access to
    2
  1514. ya for like 5 minutes and 10 feet lol
    2
  1515. there's a whole monty python skit about this, including a sign saying "This Skit Written Before Decimilisation"
    2
  1516. "Never force anything." wasn't there a gun you did once where the official disassembly instructions included bashing the butt against the ground repeatedly until it slips apart...
    2
  1517. according to the SDS for SLA grey from formlabs this stuff isn't toxic. Not great for groundwater obviously but to people that work with resins that are actually acutely toxic this stuff is pretty safe with proper handling the toxic doses for the monomers are >5000mg/kg which is basically taking a tub and drinking it.
    2
  1518. fucking wolf warrior bullshit, they're diplomats not fucking soldiers. everytime something like this happens it makes me worried that these countries are drinking their own koolaid, like how all of russia's government is insane suddenly when in the past at least they would quietly be diplomatic behind closed doors
    2
  1519. about as stupid as today's crop of coal munching, chemical waste promoting republicans. blame government if you want but its specifically government officials that don't care about the environment that lets things like this happen
    2
  1520. kind of a silly idea to put a ram on the least maneuverable, slowest moving ship in the civil war
    2
  1521. always love when the Nelrods get some attention. they're goofy, probably shouldn't have been built, and both showed up to sink the bismark when they were needed most
    2
  1522. cars cars everywhere, nowhere to walk!
    2
  1523. As seen in 007:Nightfire, didn't know it actually existed
    2
  1524. on NDAs, you can't disclose info then insist someone sign an NDA afterwards. NDAs must be signed before you disclose anything. Hope KE gets to file a SLAPP countersuit, though I doubt they'll get any more money from these guys
    2
  1525. the thing is china has been since day 1, blacklisting US companies by forced tech transfer, manditory chinese ownership, and straight up stealing entire companies (ARM China)
    2
  1526. is it a long sword with an integral gun, a short sword on a short rifle, a carbine with an absurdly long bayonet, or a big knife on a small gun?

  1527.  @malekzin4788  blame one ronald reagan. he started the trend of making oil and coal immune from air regulations
    2
  1528. 8:09 gonna guess that's texas on the left given that she was about the only dreadnought left by that point
    2
  1529.  @stacksmalacks8826  bitumen flows just fine when disolved in a solvent like petrol. there's a few industrial sealants that are bitumen disolved in an alcohol or solvent
    2
  1530. Who needs to worry about phos content or carbon content you're using if you make it out of old brakes
    2
  1531. you could do some interesting things with solenoids if you didn't care about practicality. I imagine you could build a system where the gun senses when the bullets reached a safe point, then a solenoid releases the lock on the breach
    2
  1532. The problem with the USS Texas's preservation is clearly the State of Texas in general. The lack of effective tax collection leads to a critical lack of money for investment
    2
  1533. I feel like its been an age and a half since you've done an auction video
    2
  1534. Now was that Browning tested by the horsey type of cavalry or the jeep riding type of cavalry, because that would have been a hilariously powerful and heavy weapon to lug by horseback
    2
  1535. Seems like we should be cautious because the europeans might actually show you can both have legal firearm ownership and have a responsible system for regulating it, whereas in the US we're trying to either go fully overregulated or complete anarcho state , (looking at you ohio and your newly minted zero training ccw law)
    2
  1536.  @psd993  they buy the house to invest in property, one of the few ways chinese (and to a lesser extent oligarchs everywhere) can hide their money in plain sight. The house is worthless, the paper value of the house and land is what they want, so it could have a meth lab in it and they wouldn't do anything
    2
  1537. US judges have their robes, British judges have their silly wigs, but I did not know japanese judges used to have swords
    2
  1538. german thinking 1) invent something that breaks physics 2) stick a flak 88 on it
    2
  1539. methinks that's kind of the point though, this was one of the few ways to get an AK which is very iconic in the middle east without buying it from a soviet aligned country
    2
  1540. problem is with refits is you basically rip the ship up down to the deck and rebuild it back up. The lack of ships kind of also made refitting the nelsons (and hood) impossible since they needed them constantly deployed to wave the flag at the increasingly ill tempered neighbors. ironically, had they been able to build all the ships they wanted at the tonnage they wanted they could have pulled the nelsons to refit and also not build these compromised ships
    2
  1541. yes and we have Britain's nuclear launch codes so gg britain.
    2
  1542. kinda shows the proteus ships might have been too heavy for their own good since this ship didn't break in half when under inclimate (and explosive) weather
    2
  1543. However much it contributes to their current situation I think we underestimated how badly corruption cores out a fighting force because we can't imagine it getting so bad that your lowest conscripts are destroying multi million dollar weapon systems so they can afford to eat
    2
  1544. I think the fiberglass they had back then just wasn't that great given all the thermal cycling
    2
  1545. interestingly the rest of the world tries to use scopes on snipers, but looking down a telescope to shoot is silly
    2
  1546. was there any reason to avoid pins though? seems like it didn't make the gun any easier
    1
  1547. man that scroll compressor is going to make Emerson annoyed, they spend tons to develop compressors that avoided the hard to make parts
    1
  1548. japan also didn't ever fight anyone with tanks until they came up against the US. South east asia and the pacific aren't really great areas for tanks anyways since you have to ship them around on vulnerable transports and then land them on vulnerable landing craft then get them into position where they can actually attack.

  1559. the first episode of expanse is amazing, but sort of sad because almost everyone in it is a redshirt
    1
  1560. I do like the idea of a gun that can eat whatever garbage ammunition you feed it.
    1
  1561. i have a feeling electric cars will be able to do this easily since the batteries and motor dont generate heat at the same rate that a comparable engine would plus you would eliminate the power loss through drivetrain by just going direct drive

    1
  1572. Yes you are both right, those are terrible wookie impressions
    1
  1573. were these issued out to commanders or designated people in a unit or just dispersed out? seems like they went to a lot of trouble making it not quite a rifle not quite an smg and they looked expensive to make

  1574. crunchysuperman it probably wasn't possible with the extruded aluminum upper to cut 2 holes like other ambidextrous bullpups do without compromising its integrity

  1576. Terminator still looks pretty visceral, I mean there's only so much you can with an actor when you hand them a scalpel and say "poke your eye out" the fact that it was pulled off at all is pretty telling of the actor

  1577. that is a very thin rifle

  1578. I'm sorry but I don't think cars will loose the dash, steering wheel, or buttons, autopilot will just be an extension of cruise control instead of a full replacement to the driver, people won't trust machines enough

    1
  1584. a remarkably thin rifle compared to the future british bullpup and even its other contempreraries
    1
  1585.  @iAmTheSquidThing  tone seems to be the most ridiculous thing, a lot of languages make you declare something about the sentence before saying anything. then subject object verb is just a solid wall. I reached for a gun makes more logical sense than I a gun reached for
    1
  1586. they should have put a knob on the bottom

  1587. you wonder why they even kept on with through propeller machineguns when the pilot and thus the sights were well above the propeller arc. you could have just mounted the machineguns on the top wing

  1590. My dad kept saying his 40 year old fire alarm was working fine because it was from before they had expiration dates, which while yes it didn't have an expiration date, also drove me to go buy 3 new detectors and replace everything because he wasn't going to.

  1596. make an ecomod car
    1
  1597. oh ya I noticed this back in college
    1
  1598. the army's wargames are a bunch of guys running around a fake village for a weekend pretending to shoot each other the airforce's wargames are a bunch of planes pretending to kill each other or blow something up the navy is a bunch of ships doing a combination of the two, but also with ships
    1
  1599. thought they retired this thing
    1
  1600. seems like they just let the gun get a bit too complicated for what it was

    1
  1606. Is there any reason why telescoping bolts weren't much of a thing before the cold war guns, seems like the ought to have thought of that in ww2
    1
  1607.  @torismegistos7111  ya I think the term was only invented by Uzi and there was prior work but your stens, grease guns, mp18, and ppsh all don't really put any mass in front of the bolt
    1
  1608. Shotguns are going to be an interesting read. there's not really a shotgun associated with ww2

  1612. to say striker fired pistols came around is just to say glocks came around and everybody went "Duh." when they stopped screaming about them being trash
    1
  1613.  @dcrose001  trash, but exactly the right gun for a lot of applications like Ian hinted where you need something safe carried, but ready to fire, and not a revolver, and is also cheap, reliable, and compact
    1

  1629. 7mm pinfire isn't even too bad
    1
  1630. clearly they had a solution to the mag capacity issue
    1
  1631. outside of industrial risk aversion, aerospikes just don't bring enough benefits in large staged rockets since the lower stage and upper stages can be designed to work in two separate altitude envelopes. Maybe with the growth of small single stage to orbit launchers we might see a resurgence of them as the efficiency gains are the only way to do that without added stages

  1632. theres something absolutely wild about a citidel containing sail powered ship

  1633. how many stemple receivers do they have left though
    1
  1634. leave it to the germans to build something as overcomplicated as this
    1
  1635. nuclear reactors in space have a whole host of problems that normal terrestrial reactors don't have, mainly heat transfer issues since even most smr's still rely on some fluid convecting in the closed vessel whereas in space fluids tend to bounce around
    1
  1636. there probably already are ordinances that apply to beaches that would make it a penalty if they built a big fire on a beach and walk away

  1642. not sure which is worse a neutron bomb or cobalt bomb, salted nukes kill everything slowly, while neutron bombs allegedly kill everything very quickly by dialing the yield to create the largest neutron flux

  1647.  @scottyhaines4226  I've got an engineering degree, it ain't helping either. Companies are massively unrealistic in the job skills they demand.

  1655. if only we could solve the problem of beaming power down to earth
    1
  1656. i mean if we're racing to the bottom, and taxing rich ALWAYS causes them to move to the lowest tax bracket possible, north dakota, oklahoma, texas, and deleware should be the residence of literally every rich person in the entire country since they don't charge income taxes or have other tax haven systems. heck, they can basically live in NYC without actually being taxed there if they have creative enough accountants the thing these politicians don't seem to get is that cities have a boom-bust cycle, NYC and every major city has been booming for a long time, but that was after a massive bust cycle in the 70s and 80s. Maybe this is what cities have needed, so the rich move away but then people can afford to move to the city and live there again and create those new venues Whatever side you're on though, its not helping that politicians on both sides of the rich v poor debate keep jeering at each other. Their job is to make things work, not hold posturing press conferences.

    1
  1685. theres something funny about racking the pistol grip to charge the gun

  1686. I suspect modern engines probably aren't designed with this stuff in mind and I wonder if it'd plug up the filter too easily and that's why this died out

  1689.  @khaccanhle1930  Franz Neumann's Behemoth is a great read too as it was finished riiiiiiiggght before that whole plundering stage, not sure if its still in print, I found a very old copy in the discount bin at a book store

  1694. I was just about to post you could just use metalized stickers and then you went there too. I swear there were plastic casettes back then, but then I never looked too hard at them.

  1707. the brits are still not exactly having to fight the apocolyptic sized naval battle that the pacific theater was. Not to discount them but they just didn't have that large of an air presence there, and thus didn't learn the lessons the US did

  1708. so early the gun has no manual safeties
    1
  1709. I'd say there's a distinction because EVE has a way more strict tax code because there's no tax free loop-holes or complex ownership strategies to get massive tax returns on loosing capital. NY's taxes aren't really that high, as the Trump investigations have borne out, there's ways for people of means to avoid paying taxes entirely while living in NYC

  1713.  @raybod1775  as someone who's been made redundant because of the idiot in charge, no. Companies want ubermen who can walk in, take charge, have decades of experience, and also will take minimum pay. Entry level means somehow you've got 3-6 years of on the job experience these days. its stupid but companies have commoditized labor to the point that they don't want to have anything but the perfect fit candidates

  1714. seems like from a glance, you might be able to load it into the magazine but it won't chamber as the bullet diameter is roughly 2mm larger and the 7.62 is a necked case whereas the 9mm is not. its still a big problem since you don't want to give people the wrong ammo

  1715. much smaller shells though

  1716. idk what ford was trying to do with the X engine, radials were a thing in 1920 when they were working on it and things like hydrolock were gonna be a huge problem for such engines

  1718. It does make you wonder if you could still use this in .22lr given I think those were actual adapters and 3d printed might be strong enough

  1723. break action pretty much renders all these systems moot, but then steel wasn't tough enough back then to do that reliably

  1724. this was one of those planes where you had to build it to understand how bad it could get. they had no way to predict just how bad this thing would he at the time without just building it and trying it out

  1730. In Apple's defense not actually connecting the fan to the heat sink to the cpu takes quite a lot of out of the box thinking, though deliberately making faulty cooling systems will not go well with the courts. At least you and a bunch of lawyers are going to get paid a lot

  1740. bolt action, blow backwards?

  1741. the problem is that in the 20th century economic theory became a religion for people, and you had more of a theological debate between the merits of capitalism and communism, now that there's only one, the priests of capitalism expouse it as the one true faith...er economic system

  1745. on point 23, much of the export f35s were to be built outside the US, with relatively cheap labor in turkey and eastern europe undercutting US manufacturers who are shut out of the program thanks to military security and lack of aid in certifying to AS9100 manufacturing spec. Other countries like turkey provided direct aid to build companies up to produce parts and assemblies. For some reason...turkey has decided to throw that all away but this is really a NATO fighter program, every nato ally is building some component for it

  1746. ya see that's the thing, once they could ship it by sea it was relatively easy

  1747. i got some bacteriocide for these, my grandmother's was turning brown and scummy all the time and I couldn't add things like bleach or vinegar into it as that would make the whole house smell of bleach

  1750. how many more thousands of rifles could they have made if they had just stamped the SN in like 3 places instead of on every interchangable part
    1
  1751. one thing asimov didn't really get around to doing is exploring AI as their own people. the three laws are great for slave robots, which is kind of exactly the failings in his stories he explores but they don't give robots free will asimov also foresaw big corporations and the ways the rich will isolate themselves from society, and ultimately wither away as a result of that isolation. Robots of Dawn always read like a planet of the rich, especially since his main character was from an earth that was dirty overcrowded but not quite a dystopia for some reason, but by the next robots book that world is no more as the rich and their eccentricities ended up withering away

  1752. check out the atmospheric railway, it was immensely wasteful and inefficient yet was a pneumatically driven train before even steam engines were that good

  1761. its because they weren't trying to make real things look real, they were going with alien bug things and kept them barely in focus. the CGI holds up so well because it was done properly, sadly the next decade of cinema would be endless overuse of CGI effects, but we're finally pushing past that today
    1
  1762. its almost like we should do more longer term sustained investment instead of panicky dumping of cash every time a crisis happens, but we can't afford that so oh well. I mean part of the crisis a year ago was trying to get people to stay home when they are sick without going broke but WE CAN'T JUST GIVE THEM TIME OFF
    1
  1763. as with anything like this, once the project moved from one designed by people thinking about a problem and optimizing the solution, to people looking for the big impressive project to boast about, it became a boondoggle

  1764. using the WTO and these supernational treaties to overturn smoking bans is just about one of the more horrible things you can do for the world

  1766. the problem was people didn't take care of it, used it to cover problems, and for some reason just put the worst patterns down

  1804. not sure if it was a thing but there's a bit in columbo where a projectionist says he stuck a nickel in the reel, and waited till the nickel pinged off the ground when the film reel ran low, telling him when to hit the second projector. I have no idea if this was a real thing or not but the writer made a point of adding it

  1809. always argue to fear not the issue. Huxley was absolutely right to warn about soft tyranny where politics is all about lies backed by unlimited amounts of money, emotional uneducated voters, and politicians being allowed the unchecked ability to lie. The world isn't 1984, its sadly a Brave New World, be sure to take your oxy, I mean Soma

  1811. shockingly cheap to buy a scotus justice
    1
  1812. just seems like debt is a perfect weapon for politicians of a certain bend, they rack up huge deficit spending on military and tax cuts when they're in control and finance that with huge debt issuances, then when anyone they disagree with want to propose a social program like expansion of the social safety net, they beat them up over how much it costs and how much debt it would create, even though they have made much of that debt and they continue the loop when they are back in power. I know this channel stays almost entire on economics, but politics and economics is intrinsically linked in a way few other fields of study are
    1
  1813. Unitary Executive Theory AKA The President is actually a dictator. this is also why it should be laid out by statute that the president CAN be prosecuted for criminal behavior by the department of justice, because currently its only by opinion of Richard Nixon's own DOJ that prevents such a thing happening
    1
  1814. makes you wonder what grievous injuries our inevitable future of laser weaponry will do. sure they're supposed to be anti-air and anti-material, but so were radar fused shells and they became a steel rain when stuffed into a howitzer and fired at troop formations.

  1815. a hun with a gun is never not having fun.

  1816. dispersed infantry supported by IFVs to rapidly concentrate or disperse is how modern militaries deal with the problem, assuming they can't bomb the guns. the artillery may be able to still target individual groups of infantry but they can't effectively suppress one group without allowing the others to advance

  1826. my dad drove Chevy astro vans with all-wheel-drive all over the country as a company car, he bought the last one they issued before switching to impalas and kept that around until basically everything was falling apart on it but I learned to drive on it, my brother learned to drive on it, and that thing had like 300k miles on it by the time he very reluctantly got rid of it. the problem it had was that basically everything went wrong with it all at once after a steady increase in problems to the point where it just wasn't fun to drive anymore

  1832. its 100% clear nobody in china knows what viruses actually are, they're just doing shit that looks like it came out of the distant past just with knockoff tyvek suits instead of beaked masks. Like almost all of the people wearing those bunny suits won't need it or are not doing anything to actually prevent themselves from getting sick since covid is airborne and not really contact based
    1
  1833. those 41% who aren't employed are lazy good for nothing welfare grifters! So sayith people I know who haven't been on unemployment and welfare
    1
  1834. huh, they've been going back and forth on this thing for like a decade, there's not even an afghanistan to give these to which was what prompted the contract to begin with. I wonder how this won out over the super tucano which previously won a program like this

  1835. the woodpecker was also powered mostly from chernobyl's NPP so that blowing up meant they had to power it intermittently
    1
  1836. the 737's height (or lack of) has been its achilies heel for decades. Its a 1960s design, engineered for low bypass turbine engines and airports that use airstairs instead of terminals. They can't extend the landing gear without basically redesigning the entire plane so they've avoided doing that.
    1
  1837. China's covid policy is insane because nobody involved seems to have any clue how to covid even spreads. the manditory testing involves forcing thousands to stand in lines for hours, with workers just sticking the same swab in people's mouths over and over again pretending they're testing people, and they're all wearing those stupid tyvek suits everywhere, taped into the things like they aren't aware that covid is airborne not really spread very well by direct contact

  1847. it really seems like all this technology to design and test things before any piece of steel is stamped isn't being used all that well

  1849. I bet tesla does this all through software and has some hidden system that actually synchronizes their lamps

  1850. With WW1 if it existed at the time, it probably was pulled into service somewhere. Ian has shown some even more improbable guns like 1895 winchesters issued out to tsarist russians now proving your gun was used in ww1 is a different matter

  1854. its gonna be really interesting to see how they do in crash tests as it seems like they're going to have to rethink how to make it disperse energy since the body IS the structural frame
    1
  1855. their priorities (seemingly by order of progress) 1) suborbital space tourism, they're basically waiting on the paperwork for this at this point 2) development of new large methane engines in tandem for new glenn and ULA (not sure if vulcan is still on for this though) 3) heavy launch of commercial space payloads. they're skipping medium and small rockets and going straight to a falcon heavy sized 2 stage booster with new engines 4) orbital space tourism 5) whatever they promised trump for the artemis program

  1873. Kinda like living on a boat, your living space is up top, your sleeping space under the water line
    1
  1874. this is what pisses me off about the culture war here in america, we have made fighting against the liberal order the casus beli for the right in the US, but they're fighting the same fight china and russia are and they don't even care anymore, they're cheering for these dictators to tear up freedoms and oppress people in the name of nationalism and patriotism. I know there's a lot the left is at fault for in terms of free trade and appeasement but at least they know where the lines are drawn
    1
  1875. I would bet that there are reasons for either a slab or stepped dry dock as well, a stepped one you could float more stuff in, manuver it close together as you bring the water level down, and like you said stepped drydocks require less excavation, but also it might be the only way to build a drydock in a given area's geology
    1
  1876. and of course its got a shoulder stock because reasons

  1882. ifv firing ports are one of those things designers seemed to think made sense without looking at how these vehicles were used
    1
  1883. they're beyond half assing, they've been deliberately misinforming people about medicine, germs, and sanitation for decades to combat 'western' medicine and championing 'traditional' medicine, now that a pandemic is there, you don't have to dig deep to see that nobody from the lowest healthcare worker up to the highest regional powers have any understanding how germs work, but they put on this elaborate theater of doing healthcare but its all fake and making everything worse because cramming people into shacks with no sanitation next to each other spreads disease instead of fights it
    1
  1884.  @dznuts123  there's been no cases of people dying from the vaccines, in fact its covid that kills people from blood clots. the side effects were all massively overblown so people can be lazy and not get vaccinated, and the government supported it in all forms instead of just telling people to fucking grow up and be responsible for once in their fucking lives

  1889. an interesting side development of these is they use syncrotrons as the high energy source and get even higher resolution images greater than what these 'small' machines can get.
    1
  1890.  @bjorntorlarsson  not constantly having any major naval engagements for the first time in centuries also didn't help, that and decolonization
    1
  1891. that probably just put out more emissions than your car...
    1
  1892. "This information is actually copyrighted" Wwwhhhhhyyyyyy! like its technical documentation produced by the government
    1
  1893. if it came out today itd be the punisher snubinator 38xl or something similar
    1
  1894. clever guys to take a double stack like that and make it feed single stack, pain to find I'd guess
    1
  1895. 9:52 Sounds like Ultimate Admirals Ship Builder
    1
  1896. seems like they ought to have regulated around bullet diameter from the beginning, or just said 9mm or .45 acp only
    1
  1897. the chinese light tank is more designed for their mountanous terrain in the south, not so much for invading tiawan
    1
  1898. the only big benefit of 3d printed houses is that it moves us away from all stick built houses, and make thicker walls, something that helps with heating and cooling, but it seems a lot of these are 3d printed lower floors and stick built uppers
    1
  1899.  SaltyBrains  not really. its pretty much the opposite, with the dod having things like VR simulators and the internet before turning that tech over to the wider world
    1
  1900. I feel like the US Ordinance system didn't even consider this over the m14 out of spite
    1
  1901. "The silos wouldn't survive a direct hit but their spacing allowed for some to launch." Man that'd be the ultimate dice roll I guess
    1
  1902. Maybe its part of the problem but the designs of nuclear reactors still all are offshoots of weapons production, with not a whole lot of money by comparison thrown into the development of actual power generating reactors, like we probably spent 1 trillion world wide on weapons production, and only a fraction of that on power generation designs
    1
  1903. 1.3 is pretty reasonable actually if you're going to buy it, tear it down and put up a new appartment building and sell/rent them for a million each though Brooklyn should just offer it up as property for developers to for lower income housing. there's got to be a hundred properties like this that the state could flip for redevelopment
    1
  1904. Anarcho capitalists are just saying everything would work out if you trust them, but other than broad economic assumptions, we don't have any real assurance that prices wouldn't end up fixed by cartels, that companies wouldn't end up forcing people to pay for things they don't need, or just straight up steal from people, or that they wouldn't just become corporate run monarchies.
    1
  1905. where's the harbor freight jackstand?
    1
  1906. it does beg the question as to whether super high velocity flechettes have a practical purpose elsewhere like in single shot big game hunting where you deliver the devistating wound of a big bore with something 1/3rd the weight where handloading would allow for better QC of the ammunition
    1
  1907. "The real diamonds were switched out and a fake wall was constructed with a small army of police behind it." lemme guess, there was a chief inspector back there to shout "Lupin, I got you now!"
    1
  1908. I wonder what this would look like if you tried EDM cutting which as far as I know is the most fine way to cut things. I've seen a big ball bearing with a pinprick hole cut through it by edm
    1
  1909. thats just a percussion ratchet, you'd find it in any highschool band room but its interesting they went to the effort of attaching it to a gun
    1
  1910. probably should sell that bmw i3 as well, those were OK 1st gen electric cars but they haven't aged well at all compared to basically every other electric car
    1
  1911. This was clearly a WWauser 3319/¿& production rifle exported to ethiopia
    1
  1912. it mostly constrained the RN, the US would almost certainly have forgotten it wanted a navy after ww1 as per tradition, and ya the budget for the navy cratered before the treaties even came up
    1
  1913. 0:48:00 The early 1900s in terms of small surface vessels were somewhat eclectic like destroyers going from large torpedo boats to something between a frigate with more torpedoes to a small cruiser. everyone seemed to have their own general idea for a fast attack ship
    1
  1914. the capital gyrocopter pilot was tracked the whole way in, the failure was that everybody assumed someone else was stopping it
    1
  1915. one of the interesting things LTT guys said about their screwdriver development was that there really wasn't a screwdriver developed for non automotive applications
    1
  1916. hail Ford and the model of T
    1
  1917. oh lerd this thing looks good
    1
  1918. why not, the g3 is just a 7.62 version of the mp5 and that's still kicking around
    1
  1919. it looks like basically a grease gun with a wood stock, which is kind of what you want for a longer lived firearm
    1
  1920. "And this is finished in a deep blue that will attract every fingerprint" Gun gets increasingly smudged throughout the video
    1
  1921. maybe wages were growing but you're talking going from subsistance farming to subsistance farming but we can afford to buy some stuff, the economy crashed hard several times between the 1860s and the 1900s causing thise gains to get wiped out repeatedly
    1
  1922. that's kind of a terrible idea for specifically pinfire guns when you think about how those pins are sticking out
    1
  1923. This is actually a big change as it will require a lot of new bases, infrastructure, and redeployment of troops and equipment. it's not something that can be done immediately but will be a gradual shift that will really bring an anvil up to Russians boarder
    1
  1924. oh hey an environmental disaster in the name of profits! Seems just as smart as those disposable battery chargers you find in certain british junk stores
    1
  1925. "skillshare doesn't violate the rico statute" oh please, we all know their prices are criminally cheap and that they have a pattern of doing so, and are an enterprise
    1
  1926.  @zapfanzapfan  its only a crime once we tax layers foot the bill
    1
  1927. made better by the fact that your data is f*cked by apple's security measures too
    1
  1928. makes you wonder if this guy could have made more money wheeling this to the fbi's office with the same instructions minus the explosives and just asking if they want to buy it
    1
  1929. For legal reasons, that is not a mickey mouse shaped bolt face it is a steamboat willey shaped bolt face.
    1
  1930. guessing the idea with the AA gun was that you'd have a couple dozen buddies also plinking the same helicopter, or around it anyways
    1
  1931.  @acar3615  that was radium, which was exactly why they switched to tritium filled dials instead
    1
  1932. its like the bestest smg
    1
  1933. ugh yes it looks pretty but those arches are very difficult to construct, and will be difficult to maintain
    1
  1934. [from translated latin] "Who are these japanese and why are they so obsessed with drawings of cats?"
    1
  1935. seriously the lamest way to get anduin into the shadowlands
    1
  1936. I've never seen aftermarket LED turnsignals
    1
  1937.  @johnthompson965  it also doesn't help that the state of the gun industry has shifted from large firms with machinery and manufacturing space towards smaller firms with 3d manufacturing and small footprints. there's like a hundred shops making a hundred variants of ar15s now
    1
  1938. to counter the Get Schwifty comparison, the principal was very clearly using religion to justify purging and reordering society to where a lowley highschool principal is the center of social order.
    1
  1939. I prefer to think of you as the Kirkland brand Thor, subtly different but quite a good value
    1
  1940. its actually pretty common to do this, engines are so big they just don't fit inside planes anymore
    1
  1941. powder explosions might be possible but what you don't really appreciate is the pressure of all that water being compressed can also cause explosions as the compartments fill, then the nearly 100k lbs of steel dragging it to the bottom of the ocean causes it to get compressed until it bursts the compartments in a way thats like an explosion
    1
  1942. steampunk shotgun
    1
  1943. this is the new standard of boomstick, it can't be carried like a gun, its carried like a stick
    1
  1944. wow this is a great list
    1
  1945. I see a lot of not-straight lines
    1
  1946. wouldn't least well known be more obscure?
    1
  1947. meanwhile down the road from me: 9K and bring a dumpster!
    1
  1948. a real life Team Fortress 2 gun
    1
  1949. lots of old school machining equipment mixed with new stuff
    1
  1950. soviet ink jet printer sounds pretty good compared to the not soviet one
    1
  1951. I hate that botique covid/environmental helmets exist, but also secretly love these things
    1
  1952. there's one in the Ohio History Center north of columbus if you want to actually visit one
    1
  1953. ya the sad part is russia won't blink so far and there's so far no good avenue to a negotiated withdrawal. They want ukraine to be destroyed economically, culturally, and baring complete conquest, they want to take its industrial areas from it as well as insist it shouldn't have a military, positions that nobody can accept
    1
  1954. I'm shocked britain has any challenger II's to spare
    1
  1955. unsupported armor charges have been obsolete since what, Cambria? You can't send armored vehicles in without somebody to shoot the infantry that may have anti armor weapons
    1
  1956. he's got one on discovery which they won't stream in the US for no reason
    1
  1957. the issue was the support for the middle class was cut out bloodily by the gop who built a party on agreived middle class who lost their jobs
    1
  1958. oh arbitrary metrics and fiddly unit conversions.
    1
  1959. if you squint it looks like a poorly modeled MP5
    1
  1960. she specifically only quotes the one sentence in Nixon vs GSA that hints at privilaged presidential records but again those have been by statute made government property after that ruling!
    1
  1961. Dirty Harry would approve, also disapprove because he never approved of anything ever
    1
  1962. kind of wonder if they've got some fighters with gunpods in the area that can help with this task
    1
  1963. on the sights, my guess is they wanted the mag release to be usable with the left hand so they mounted the tab on that side and you can see the tab would have interfered with the sights
    1
  1964. looks like something you'd see in bioshock
    1
  1965. they made a lot of that stuff out of titanium and titanium weathers to an odd grey just sitting out
    1
  1966. to be fair, mythbusters did the island survival thing 2 times but an entire series about it would be fun. can't wait to see tory again, and I have no idea how he and hamond get on together
    1
  1967. does Ian's resume just consist of all the rare sub machineguns he's fired over the years?
    1
  1968. team fortress 2 looking pistol
    1
  1969. "Building a curved block with is obviously very easy to do." No, no its not, that's one of the reasons why you don't do it, the curve has to be fairly exact or else you're gonna leak
    1
  1970. They do make little butane powered bunsen burners.
    1
  1971. I thought it was illegal to shoot elbonian small arms right handed, except if the gun is left handed. this is a country so nondescript, and poorly armed that one could say they don't even exist at all
    1
  1972. Can you explain it in terms of magnetohydrodynamics?
    1
  1973. pretty sure the tech of the time would have meant the wings would have snapped at high loads
    1
  1974. circumstantial evidence is real evidence
    1
  1975. this is entirely why proxy wars are so fucking stupid, you're basically fighting yourself in this case
    1
  1976. seems like russia shouldn't have played all their cards on this one, lithuania is basically calling their bluff in this case because they've declared their intent to park an army there with nuclear missiles, but the counterpoint of this being escalation is also very tricky because russia has been escalating against everyone for any reason as of late.
    1
  1977. seems like they went with a system that while capable of false positives, has greater reliability whereas previous attempts went for absolutely no false positives but with a noticable drop in reliability
    1
  1978. anti-tank rockets are actually mini molten metal cannons
    1
  1979. #4 Mark 2**: Its a screwdriver on a socket
    1
  1980. bayonette lugs on a starship trooper gun, because you never know when you need to stab a bug
    1
  1981. Ares 1 is always funny because nasa basically forgot to check if aborting from it was even survivable, then a college student pointed out that the g-load to abort from it would kill the crew, and the parachutes would be falling down through a burning column of aluminum perchlorates which would melt them
    1
  1982. ya thats what everybody needs, a prop plane with VLSS's, though we could use more turboprop pusher fan designs, these things promised to be incredibly fuel efficient but none have ever really made it to market
    1
  1983. one could say modern word processors are free publishing, no screws attached
    1
  1984. it is the first turret but its also not a good design
    1
  1985. the problem is NYC just stopped planning for things like garbage
    1
  1986. Man if the native americans hated europeans, they'd really hate roman legions
    1
  1987. the us made one but its somehow worse
    1
  1988. Drachinifel getting hit by this is funny, I'm still waiting for my Mark 14 Torpedo to arrive in the mail
    1
  1989. There's a reason why the sentence is X until Dead, not X until we call it.
    1
  1990. basically the only thing that the API is right on is building more LNG terminals, but they were doing that already too...
    1
  1991. man you guys have covered the entire evolution podcasting, you went from a jankey studio, to a good studio to your houses, to better houses, its been a journey
    1
  1992. So is it better because its in .45 acp or worse because the c96's action isn't up to it?
    1
  1993. Might as well get out and toss the torpedoes at them for how useless they were
    1
  1994.  @sodneymvlin7715  he's just not allowed to modify the original reciever without permission
    1
  1995. back in the 1950s the Pennsylvania railroad shipped a nuclear reactor vessel using a steam engine
    1
  1996. Its not entirely clear that the B-2 ever really carried its full payload anyways because of the range that would have reduced it by
    1
  1997. kind of shocked they couldn't just buy a bren line since its 1948 and nobody in the US has anything to do with the bren tooling here
    1
  1998. I've actually seen tinted tail lights that actually worked right but I've also seen more of the opposite
    1
  1999. Post-Thanos, people would get busy. And so they did.
    1
  2000. yes
    1
  2001. cookoff would be slightly mitigated by the fact that polymer doesn't conduct heat very well, though by that same token, heat mitigation will be more important since you're not dumping it into brass
    1
  2002. "See that's not liquid damage that's an explosion." lol
    1
  2003. businesses plan positions compensation on an annual basis, this labor shortage has been abrupt and very short term
    1
  2004. 2:45 "DAMNIT STEVE, I told you, IN NUMERICAL ORDER, Now I gotta look at this every day from my office, unless by so miracle they need these hulks, FOR THE REST OF MY ENLISTMENT!"
    1
  2005. the top of a skyscraper used to be something important and desirable and they weren't just offices.
    1
  2006. roberts should resign right now and let a democrat president appoint the chief justice if he truely believes there's no democrat/republican justices, and that the court should be above the political marass, otherwise he's just acting as partisan as his fellow conservative justices.
    1
  2007. trade them your jag
    1
  2008. because the gun will speak for the people! many will see its visage and understand the worker's political struggle as it brings about the people's revolution.
    1
  2009. how would this compare to the ww1 german tank-guvere
    1
  2010. thing is, the p-38 lightning was even more crazy
    1
  2011. the middle east rust belt is gonna be absolutely amazing when oil demand really starts dropping due to the momentum away from oil use in transportation (which is like 1/3rd of global oil consumption)
    1
  2012. this fits the definition of Big Iron
    1
  2013. if glass was liquid, obsidian would have run off out of sediment deposits
    1
  2014. I think the real advancement here was that the french trusted their own troops to zero the sights for the first time in french history
    1
  2015. sad part is Tested has done lots of coverage of their products in the past including interviews with their higher ups and a tour of their factory. this just seems like the lawyers and VC vultures took over
    1
  2016. with 5 C-Cell batteries this thing qualifies as a weapon
    1
  2017. no the issue I have with my government is every problem is solved with a car
    1
  2018. PSSST ADAM they did build an earth usable lunar rover as well as a copy recently
    1
  2019. this gun is overcompensation done 19th century style
    1
  2020. oh thats so funny. I had to calibrate 4 of these to be approximately the same rate.
    1
  2021. looks like a vampire but without the big jet
    1
  2022. 50bmg bakelite mag when?
    1
  2023. the most evil of spicy rocks
    1
  2024. this isn't even harmless, economic policies based on flawed economic theory based on manipulated research has been a crisis for many decades
    1
  2025. if CWIS or laser systems get much better than missiles or bombers you could see a return to big gun ships but the only ships big enough to carry enough CWIS would be the Kirovs and they're not multiplying anytime soon. Big guns have the singular advantage in that you can't really intercept them
    1
  2026. oh man I forgot about that movie, what was with the 80s and creepy fairy tale movies
    1
  2027. I'd argue given that these were given to police, special police, special secret police, ect, having an ammunition that is under control of only the state makes sense. there probably was lots of ammo knocking around eastern europe after ww2, less so weapons, so if someone got their hands on one of these they'd have to get their hands on the ammo as well
    1
  2028. of course tunnels would be single tracked because PSR demands degredation of rail infrastructure
    1
  2029. On the plus side, at least they didn't have to look very far for the warhead, usually that's the hard part
    1
  2030. certainly making progress
    1
  2031. I suspect on the multiple systems issue, the first suggestion sounds more correct, they probably just use the hardware until they can't, then they either junk it or ship it back to get fixed
    1
  2032. the US still does largely have a strategic fuel reserve they just combined them under the DoE, only now its used by presidents to influence elections by trying to drop gas prices before elections, which is maybe worse
    1
  2033. this hit so hard, that lady sounded exactly like my grandmother
    1
  2034. for how many fluid changes this has, 20k isn't THAT MUCH marked up
    1
  2035. looks like something a bond henchman would carry or out of a comic book
    1
  2036. This man was maybe a worse car designer than homer simpson, i cannot believe he still had a job after the aston martin Lagonda. Guess maybe my modern sensabilities but this is an awful looking car, the lagonda was an awful looking car, all those 80s landyachet wedge cars were... still its wood.
    1
  2037. cutting against the grain here, this thing looks awkward uncomfortable, and even against a grease gun it looks wonky
    1
  2038. this is what happens when your avenues of political dialogue are useless. I wish more politicians would understand this but its seemingly a constant
    1
  2039. they start with an espresso machine, then built a ship around it
    1
  2040. you could possibly build an interesting solenoid system where there's no real reciprocating locking system, just Bam, and then the solenoid unlocks and cycles the action
    1
  2041. Short answer: No, because they had direct knowledge as stated by the IG, not that it was even necessary to begin with. (I know your video probably was made before that correction)
    1
  2042. seems like the perfect thing for 3d printing and could be made tougher with some toughening ribs
    1
  2043. na he just farted so much nobody wanted to be in a bunker with him
    1
  2044. untaxed trillions as the boomers use the broken tax code to hide wealth as the biggest tool, the estate tax is currently non-functional thanks to a bunch of rich boomers
    1
  2045. its quite interesting that the US shared a lot of submarine information with sweden given that this was the height of the cold war and the submarine arms race was on
    1
  2046. always funny that Nicaragua has always been used for shady shit
    1
  2047. AGC1: I got this AGC2: I'm here if you need me Abort Guidance Computer: Man if you're pressing my button, shits gone terribly wrong
    1
  2048. it was 50 years from the wright brothers to the apollo program, ~75 years from the standardization of threading to the apollo program. Think about that. in less than 100 years we went from not being able to manufacture identical parts to building a vehicle with literally a hundred million parts that all fit together
    1
  2049. this thing looks absolutely cursed
    1
  2050. germany did care about losses but the government and military structure did not permit really anything beyond fighting
    1
  2051. its interesting you do still see some gas leak but not much.
    1
  2052. glad they didn't do the typical soviet thing of doubling and tripling down on this. the next time they probably would have blown the core up
    1
  2053. next week; A 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 2 meth lab Split-Level in Brooklyn for 850K
    1
  2054. man this thing is very interesting, I can't see the US military ditching its .50 cals for this but its really an interesting gun
    1
  2055. Which would be the more scarce, the twenty shot or the six shot early models because I can see an argument for not ordering either one
    1
  2056. Ian likes. Ian likes a lot.
    1
  2057. you had fun with this intro, admit it!
    1
  2058. neat but not going to ever power a rocket or probably a plane but could have some practical effects in generating hotter combustion environments to increase fuel efficiency. you'd be looking at a completely re-invented jet engine just to integrate the technology into what we have today, and that's just working on the combustion segment not the compression segment of the engine
    1
  2059. if you have to look at the 45* inclinometer then things have gone very bad
    1
  2060. ferries are not amphibious assault craft. you'd have to land, secure a port and then begin landing troops with the ships but taking a port is very difficult
    1
  2061. Look, its an Ar, its an AK, No its FAL!
    1
  2062. The ironic part was the supply run failed, which basically caused the end to the campaign. Talk about distracting the enemy enough
    1
  2063. they only seem to be capable of using the small arms and light vehicles, basically everything else like heavy armor, aircraft or drones are junk for lack of pilots and parts so not really that armed
    1
  2064. @Eugene Kaptur  in retrospect had the US just embraced Ho-Chi-Min instead of demonizing him, and been willing to maybe allow a measure of socialism in such an impoverished country, they could have avoided the whole damn war back then. instead the powers that be embraced a horrible dictator that did half the work of the north Vietnamese by torturing and killing his countrymen
    1
  2065. He's a craaaaaaaazzzy rossman!
    1
  2066. did he finally name his podcast after like 6 years?
    1
  2067. tbf if the secret service even needed 3 magazines things have gone VERY VERY wrong
    1
  2068. the sad part is the 1619 project didn't really do anything new or massive, they just brought forward what was footnotes, expanded on what was always minor incidents, and just put out a larger more detailed picture of slavery than most people have cared to hear. I can understand how someone might be ignorant of the worst parts of it, but I don't understand how those people can be ignorant of the country having racism
    1
  2069. all hail ford and the model of T
    1
  2070. it was 60 years from the first flight to the landing on the moon, 70 years from the publishing of metric screw threads
    1
  2071. Gordon!
    1
  2072. as to the question, james has already done a travel show, 2 exotic car shows, and a show about childhood toys, and also owns a pub, the man has already done it all lol
    1
  2073. the revolver thing was because they made a change to the prop gun without changing the line, everybody knew it was off but nobody cared because it looked so cool
    1
  2074. its like a baby ak except not one of those baby aks
    1
  2075. What's better than sinking 1 Bismark? Sinking 9 more! Seriously if germany actually put 10 bismarks to sea, the japanes almost certainly would have put more yamato's to sea as well, so the natural response from the US would have been to spam Montanas, Iowas, and maybe Alaskas
    1
  2076. looks like a chrystler multibank from ww2
    1
  2077. seems kind of silly, its not like Hood, there were two battleships sitting right there firing at her and she went down painfully slow. we know most of what happened, didn't know it was a controversy

  2078. ​ @willmungas8964 the temperatures these things proportedly run at might as well be comparing icecream to the core of a blast furnace. they claim these run at temperatures well below even the melting point of steel

  2081. what LCS was was a boondoggle for bush era politicians when they should have gone across the pond to the EU and bought a frigate, which they ended up doing anyways. its too small, undercrewed, and had too many untested technologies. remember, these ships were built for 40 crew, they now need 70 (or more) and reportedly can't fit them in

  2085. the double whammy of Biden being out in front of Russia's propaganda is that nobody gave a fuck about the olympics because Russia, which had to piss off Xi

  2086. in a way its better that the people at least saw what they were doing than what we have today in the US where bloodless people can champion every method of execution and never face the horrors they insist on using. that said, I'm not sure the US would have quite the same reaction as france did eithern

  2090. worse than algorithms, its controlled by Wallstreet Traders who don't understand the wider world outside of speculation. Every Vaccine candidate causes a rally even though there won't be One vaccine, and the virus won't be magically controlled once we have one, as it will be YEARS before we reach an effective level of vaccination

  2091. sadly the opposite happened to my grandfather's club. it sat between sandusky and norwalk ohio and was in the middle of nowhere for decades (and still really is) until some developer built a housing development there 15 years ago and sued to shut it down and put enough pressure on them that the farmer who owned the land just stopped letting them use it
    1
  2092.  @pointlessupdate  I don't see radical socialists anywhere. The few things that are on the agenda are social programs we already have just expanded to actually do something, such as providing healthcare that doesn't fall off a cliff when mass unemployment happens, or protections every other country, even the most uber capitalist ones, enjoy such as a not completely trash unemployment system and a tax code that PAYS FOR PUBLIC SERVICES. The people who are trying to take advantage of a crash are the anti regulation, grievance peddlers who want to fool people into thinking anarcho capitalism is in your best interest.
    1
  2093. pistols in general are harder to build than rifles and smgs because of the size and form constraints. the limiting factor of the time wasn't manufacturing tech (maxim made a working black powder machinegun) it was the ammunition, it was either black powder or unreliable and wonkey, precision mass manufactured ammo just wasn't good enough till after ww1 to make things just work

    1
  2105. one of the tactics the russians do and have done in their previous 'expeditions' into other countries has been to flood the country with these wandering troops while elite units do their thing, basically wolves hiding among sheep. This didn't work in such a large country as Ukraine

  2117. Now a good question is why did these succeed when most large scale urban family towers built at the same time fail. it does seem like the focus on mixed use and mixed income streams helped prevent the sort of crime problems that happened throughout the day when they were vacant

    1
  2140. Seems like this should be obvious but they're very poorly portable, they're only accurate when you're trying to shoot something as large as a tank and they're a total pain in the ass to shoot. there probably were people who got blown away by these guns but probably because they were in the wrong place

  2147. Right idea, wrong execution. Ballistic missile submarines were still slightly out of their reach. I think its laughable that they thought like 3 bombs would have been worth the effort, the doolittle raid wasn't really successful strategically itself and that was several squadrons of bombers dropping their own spicy rocks, this would have been a trio of spicy rocks
    1
  2148. not quite but the rich of the world have forced governments of the world to allow cheaters so the rich can avoid paying taxes and in general have no liability for their actions.
    1
  2149.  @Hilaire_Balrog  you don't want the 'free market' the US used to have before the regulations of the 30s. CEOs were murdering strikers, causing massive social and environmental damage, forcing people into poverty through company towns, and buying themselves into office

  2155. the barrel is thin, the gun is recoil operated and needs that barrel booster thing on the end, and its just an older design than the browning so nobody really put the work into redesigning it, while the US army really wanted to be able to use their new pile of obsolete machineguns from ww1

  2165. the thing is I got to a point where I was in a job making enough that the only reason to move was salary and they knew they were essentially buying me out from my employer, its such a weird step up that somehow makes interviewing easier too
    1
  2166. most of the spray cans aren't a refrigerant, they're diethylether, which is toxic to inhale btw, only the ones intended for running electronics seem to be alkyl halides like the one you had. We had both types where I worked, cans for the office and cans for the terminals running the presses

  2168. the audio editing on this one sounds a little wonkey but great as usual
    1
  2169. the problems with the B-1b and B-2 are they're very expensive due to using those weird late 70s and 80s components that are not in production anymore, the only reason why the b52 is cheap is because its electronics aren't as sophisticated, aren't as integrated, and the airforce has hundreds of b52s in boneyards
    1
  2170. god there's always something unnerving about these massive atrium hotels, you go out your room door, and you have this maybe 10 foot wide walkway then a 150 foot drop to the ground. Never liked them for some reason. stayed in a hotel in columbus ohio which was this vast interior space

    1
  2190. ​​​ @gregorywright4918  a modern 5" gun yes is rather similar in size to a tank round but the question was in regards to battleship or other ww2 naval guns, in ww2 they certainly tried to stick navy ordinance on tanks and every time it was terrible and in practice could only ever carry a couple rounds of ammunition, whereas a warship can have elevators down to the magazines. you can't really make a gun much bigger than the 120mm, the rhinemetal 130 they're showing off starts to again have drawbacks in ammunition space and handling as well as gun depression and all the other problems that they have everytime they build a bigger tank gun
    1
  2191. this is diabolical

  2207.  @tigas4d4  ya I was well aware of their double dealing, they sold tungsten to both Allies and Germany on the basis of "Hey the british and US have an awful lot of troops and landing craft, and the spanish and germans have an awful lot of guns..."

  2234. depends on what era you're in and who you are. the US ought to have learned after the civil war that coastal fortification of the US coasts was just impractical, but we kept up building guns anyways. Its not till ww2 that coastal fortifications really become a detriment to their operator's health unless in a very defensable position

  2253. No, but can they match Nvidia? probably
    1
  2254. Could these be a Wauser type thing where they just marked not having any idea what they meant but that they knew the gun needed marked
    1
  2255. I think these were undone by a more compact bulb that did the same thing. I remember having one in a closet which went into a normal light socket but didn't have the whole 2 piece setup
    1
  2256. this is even less reliable than the machinegun it came from

  2257. sorry jeremy but quite a lot of people hate cybertruck, (but also a lot of people love it too)

  2258. Did someone dig up a lost 1880s french armory or something?

  2260. man amateur telescope operators would be missing the forest for the trees if they had an ion cannon up there
    1
  2261. what germans consider "Simplified" is always kind of funny. Guess they must have made too many sights ahead of time to consider simplifying that
    1
  2262. I never wanted to try it but the salt plant I worked at probably did the opposite, it had these shockingly deep settling tanks for the brine but since the stuff is super saline you probably wouldn't sink, though when you had to walk over them at night to grab weekly numbers from the maintenance shack it that didn't help
    1
  2263. I could see someone show up with a ww1 HMG to try and blow john wick away, they haven't been afraid to use older weapons on him
    1
  2264. looks like there is a singular flaw, in that someone could reassemble this without putting the barrel in the right orientation, not a huge issue, easily solved but otherwise a really good looking design
    1
  2265. such a weird blend of archaic and modern

  2266. In north korea you can only have the Kim (or Kimmette)

  2267. these guys were absolutely lucky

  2268. forget ball bearings, we should have bombed the german stamp factories, they would never have been able to produce a single thing without being able to stamp every single part with a proof mark.

  2269. TOW is great because it cannot be jammed and the guidance system can be sat away from your target
    1
  2270. show up to the shooting in a civic, get laughed at, pull this thing out the back
    1
  2271. the other issue with Universality, in the Us we have this massive undocumented immigrant population that lives under the table, UBI would pass them over without fixing the issue
    1
  2272. its a pretty well closed up rifle that looks like it came entirely too late to compete against lever guns and bolt actions
    1
  2273. this approaches maximum dakka
    1
  2274. Depending on the provinance could this gun have been brought mexico then later converted to rimfire
    1
  2275. funny enough the russians should be trained to fight with the tanks buttoned up since that's the soviet tactic. the idea is you've got enough friends to cover your butt. Nato tanks by comparison are all about situational awareness and have the hatches open until they absolutely can't
    1
  2276. looks like a very simple blowback

  2281. Ah the Stanley Rover, stanley being your coal shoveling servant
    1
  2282. shoulda taken the chance to build a light rail on the thing, you've already fixed the right of way issues that hold up such projects
    1
  2283. Gate is kind of disappointing, the show just ends, no followup no real resolution, just a slide show saying everything's going fine even though japan is quickly steamrolling into juggernaut
    1
  2284. we gave a guy who ran an engineering firm like 15K to assemble, not purchase, just assemble a piece of machinery, to be an exact copy of an already existing machine with parts we purchased and he managed to fuck it up which is crazy because the original was cobbled together by this mad scientist who just had a bunch of parts lying around and an idea for a machine. the business was so unimpressed they bought 2 more machines from him
    1
  2285. a lot of new construction has gfci breakers on the circuits for rooms
    1
  2286. this thing is all kinds of terrible especially when your barrel is secured forward by the trigger guard Its amazing how convoluted this gun got because the designer didn't believe in people having to rack the slide

  2287. the free market is remarkable at always finding ways to prices always go up regardless of whatever tax incentives, cheap labor, or productivity hikes are given to them

  2291. ​ @readhistory2023 meanwhile over at the Battleship New Jersey's channel they're chasing leaking pipes throughout the fuel tank and bilge system

  2292. ​ @mahbriggs nuclear torpedoes did them in, airburst nuclear missiles would have not had enough punch to do in a battleship, nor the accuracy in that era to kinetically hit one
    1
  2293. it works amazingly, so obviously it pissed off all the normal players
    1
  2294. kinda crazy that with jet engines, radar, and variable wings they still had to specify all metal construction, but then again its only 5 years removed from wooden carrier decks
    1
  2295. good thing that he at least was faking it. I guess he got scared and deleted stuff too bad its hard to get rid of anything from the internet
    1
  2296. I don't get why people hype bismarck up so much, it wasn't the biggest, or carried the meanest guns, its gunnery systems went out nearly right away, and its armor scheme was a fair bit dated. the US, brits, french and even italians had better proven ships
    1
  2297. "Is it muzzle loading or breach loading?" This:

  2298. how tf do you accidentally have a civil war era monitor still working during ww2, shows how different freshwater vs sea water is on a hull

  2299. I find it more interesting that people can use 3d printing to manufacture tooling which can be used to mass produce stuff

  2300. imagine a world where kelly johnson didn't work at lockheed and instead Convair got all the sweet jet age super science contracts instead
    1
  2301. that's an anime-ass looking revolver straight out of Cowboy Bebop
    1
  2302. my transport 2 professor mentioned once an experiment that was undertaken to achieve laminar flow in a fluid system in the extreme raynolds numbers by using a massive funnel and the smoothest possible tubing they could, only for someone to shut a door nearby and cause the whole thing to jump into turbulent flow
    1
  2303. know what, they ought to have encouraged japan to adopt this thing, the komet was a death trap to everyone involved
    1
  2304. looks like a museum or event presentation.
    1
  2305. yes, but it'll be dangerous, more so than any spacecraft we've created before. the better performance we obtain, the more power the reactor is required to make, thus increasing the chance for any critical failure
    1
  2306. they basically pulled a 40k and put WoW's equivalent of Robute Guilliman on the throne
    1
  2307. depends at what ranges you're practicing at and whether you compensate for that. They know this is an issue and are going to put a lot more thought into it than the police do for training. They'll either be practicing at ranges where the balistics are the same, or they'll have optics with a corrected ballistic profile in it, which the army seems to want to spend money on with a very high tech optic
    1
  2308. there's the capital records building in LA which has a similar shape to it as well, though that's always been an office building
    1
  2309. sometimes guns just fail because they came at the wrong time in the wrong place. this looks like it could have been a better bren if it had been built in the UK
    1
  2310. TBF, your emperors would probably stab each other for a bit and they'd probably be shocked how well medicine works today. these guys had no problem killing people especially rivals. like each of them would make the golden state killer look like a boyscout
    1
  2311. if this thing is compatable with a lot of rift games then this is a massive leap forward. I never wanted photorealistic VR, I like a lot of the asthetics of vr games out there and hopefully this works great.
    1
  2312. really wish they'd make an american version of taskmaster but it'd probably be very bad
    1
  2313. I always liked the US policy of "Get rid of amy excess weight so I can put more AA Batteries on the side of it"

  2314. was the poor grunt that carried this supposed to just fire grenades constantly?
    1
  2315. "Without access to the STC for the Essex class, another option was needed." Darn Ad-US Mechanicus, hording technology
    1
  2316. never knew they still messed around with steam powered subs up to and even after ww1
    1
  2317. I find the recycling explanation a bit disengenuous. I've worked at the kind of place that shreds batteries for recycling, they won't be able to 'process' this the way musk wants, they want to be able to grind the battery and put it into a bulk pile and sell that to a refiner. There's no float, certainly no liquid nitrogen. These places are only a little more sophisticated than scrap yards. They already have issues with recycling NMH batteries which have a lot of plastic, fiberglass, and junk inside them.
    1
  2318. Now I'm not sure its legal TODAY but there was a road legal rocket engine you could mount to your car, that didn't modify the engine or engine exhaust in any way, though it was the mid 1960s so no real emissions laws back then either
    1
  2319. I think the large cluster of motors at the stops provide the torque to stop and restart the cars from a dead stop you should check out the West Virginia University's transit system
    1
  2320. only thing about the army/navy treaty thing was nobody was preparing for amphibious operations besides maybe Japan because the brits got really burned, France was going to be fighting Germany, the US just assumed we could join the fight later on and Germany wasn't exactly thinking about naval invasions at the time either.
    1
  2321. they're not being bombed but I do think russia is suffering systemic damage that just stopping the war today won't fix
    1
  2322. "Why don't cars do this?" ever try building a fuel pump for gasses? the fuel tank on a car is in the rear, engine usually in the front, and it doesn't just need a constant feed, it needs a dynamic feed as the engine loads up and down. further, fuel is already vaporized when its injected into the cylinder. my guess on that weird milky gas is some additive or hydrocarbon has been oxidized because you're bubbling air through it. that or its just dissolved air in it, IDK, never tried bubbling air through gasoline
    1
  2323. basically the definition of glass cannons, they could put out an impressive amount of firepower but if anyone could shoot back it'd go right through them
    1
  2324. they could have boosted the tank to orbit, they chose to ditch the tank in a decaying orbit

  2327. is it not a mauser or a Not-A-Mauser?
    1
  2328. Zog is so underrated, hope we get 2 more seasons
    1
  2329. I think the US went way deep into traction engines vs anywhere else, my county's steam fair as it is brings 20-30 of them every year its quite a sight seeing this field of coal and wood burning engines chuffing away, and there's minimal health and safety, though owning and operating a steam engine in Ohio is itself a very laborious process to get licensed

  2330. Coffee: Its really fetid bean water if you think about it
    1
  2331. it just seems all very uncomfortable and not very ergonomic
    1
  2332. it gets even worse because challenges to maps now have to be purely along state laws as the 2019 supreme court decided all federal courts can't police electoral boundries the success in challenging gerrymandering that happened in the last 5 years cannot be replicated using the same tactics going forward because of this.

    1
  2335. The Bren gun because there's a north korean copy of a chinese copy of a soviet copy of a british copy of a czech lmg, not sure its change but interesting anyways I'd say the H&K family of roller delayed guns, the mp3, g3, and other derivatives are all essentially the same gun scaled up, down, stretched and shrunk
    1
  2336. the question is, how much cocaine were these engineers on and how much could one of these transport from say, southern mexico?
    1
  2337. Yes, zoning laws are part of the problem, but recently developers also defeated a proposal to rezone a section of a town in ohio to include multifamily housing so they get to go and build more expensive single family housing again
    1
  2338. thomas midgely JR, he couldn't ever seem to invent anything that didn't go horribly wrong, though freon being a problem wasn't his fault. CFC damage to the atmosphere was the result of people just dumping the stuff to the air

  2339. Britain builds battleships Germany builds bigger battleships Britain builds biggerer battleships Germany builds Bismark Britain builds a carrier Germany: Wtf is that?
    1
  2340. common sense is never common, or always makes sense.
    1
  2341. I think cannon works because anything 20mm and up is basically a crew served weapon on a mount. even a .50 cal can be used by infantry on foot, this thing needs to be on some kind of wheeled mount
    1
  2342. must be difficult with them disintegrating all the time
    1
  2343. machinegun or pipe bomb?
    1
  2344. funny they didn't just put a piece of wood or a grip up front instead of this, but then they probably thought they could find a better solution (then didn't)
    1
  2345. very well made for being absolutely silly
    1
  2346. its got some nice bits to it like how the chamber adapter fits in but there is obviously some design finess that could have been done
    1
  2347. how do you even fuckup this badly on a single shot tipping barrel gun. like this would a fun novelty if it actually worked

  2358. and today we're NOT going to take a look at another carcano
    1
  2359. How the hell would germany ever have managed to build Project 50, by 1918 they couldn't find two steel plates to bolt together let alone build a gargantuan submarine
    1
  2360. as my time in materials testing showed me, hardness is an arbitrary scale, but like he says, there's some ways to work across the different scales. from a manufacturing standpoint, your customer would specify the hardness testing so you would just need to test to that scale.
    1
  2361. but why?
    1
  2362. Was gonna make a joke about the SKS having the same bayonette mount, but idk how you'd bayonet someone with this short of chucking it like a spear
    1
  2363. you can kinda see Ian was overcompensating for the compensator

  2364. 00:41:56 The way you described their mindset sounds eerily similar to the way the current economy works...
    1
  2365. I do believe trump probably doesn't remember this woman, but that's because he probably doesn't remember anyone who isn't useful to him
    1
  2366. I wouldn't say its strictly complicated its the same export focused politics that dominate 'conservative' politics the world over, and do anything to keep the money flowing to their backers, at least in modern times
    1
  2367. it does make you wonder how they did it back in the day
    1
  2368. like 2, if they're from North Korea or Iran not the warheads from russia with mylar balloons, chaff, and IR beacons
    1
  2369. really really fell for the marketing, thought this was a hololense type thing with see through displays, nope just a macbook with a pair of watches
    1
  2370. gee its almost like running the government through an unofficial, non government controlled social media platform was as legally dubious as it was operationally dubious
    1
  2371. Having read some books on this, the sad part about this is that it just took soooooo long for people to get in there and figure out what to do. there didn't seem to have been any consideration for what to do in case of a total tank rupture and nobody had a plan in place to deal with it though at that point I guess it would have been to prepare for a total vehicle explosion
    1
  2372. insane they stuck drum memory on an aircraft
    1
  2373. this does seem like something that should make its way out of the competition market, this system isn't really that complicated and the non-recipricating top strap really is a great benefit to anyone wanting to put stuff on top of a pistol. it all depends too on how much they're going to work with other companies vs how much they want to keep in house, both ways have their pros and cons
    1
  2374. I love this thing even by the name.

  2375. The bigger question is what's up with the Freud look
    1
  2376. with 650k produced over just 2 years I wonder how little time it would have taken to finish their order of 40,000 guns in ww2 napkin math says the US could have fulfilled this order in 44 days if we had all of the m3 production going just to argentina. which is funny on its own since that'd be a single ship filled with m3's
    1
  2377. my grandfather supposidly lost a lot of his savings on this, he never talked about it or any of his day trading so I can't ever know for sure
    1
  2378. these movies do to reality the same thing Atlas Shrugged does, where they bend it inconciebably impossible ways just to make things fit the narrative. As Rand once said, Words mean what she says they mean when she says them.

  2381. The successful lopsided armor ships have to be the US civil war ironclads, they were nearly impervious to almost all ordinance of the day and if they decided to sail one at your fleet of ships, you had to basically find your own ironclad to send out to stop it
    1
  2382. our boat was literally just a chevy smallblock, every sort of reasonable sized boat has a blower fan you're supposed to run for a period of time before starting a boat up for the first time
    1
  2383.  @burnedatbirth  a lot of these boats are built with old carb auto engines, they are dead simple but you have to run a bilge blower or open the engine hatch and vent it before starting to clear the vapors that leak out of the carbs
    1
  2384. that or bc our gun laws are basically antiques from a time long before the internet, and the ATF is writing regulations around what they have.

  2396. outside the big supernational organizations, I feel that economists in most countries are just a means to an end, they provide the cover for politicians and the rich to do the harm, you have the heartland institute and the Hoover institute that always seem to conclude that concentration of wealth is always the preferable mode of operation
    1
  2397. whats the MOA on this?

  2406. of all the places you'd think mauser would be the worst hit given its status as the head of german weaponry from 1890-1945 absolutely amazing their archives survived not one but two world wars and the partitioning of the country, twice

  2407.  @BrunoViniciusCampestrini  wouldn't really need to, shut the power off at a fab for 5 minutes and you've bricked it for months
    1
  2408. OK its bad, but the M2 Bradley is worse because it was supposed to be a BMP but built right, and yet it became a light tank, then the soviets made the bmp 3 copying the m2's design philosophy and there's still not a great IFV with good infantry transport
    1
  2409. ooh no even if Rodney and Iowa decided to try (and their captains weren't immediately mutinied for doing so) AND the guns were actually the same diameter on paper, the british inch was ever so slightly different from the US inch back then and you're talking about shells that have very tight tolerance

  2419. flintlock assault weapon

  2420. obfuscating schematics isn't even that new sadly. Curious Marc always talks about how he can fix any HP equipment before the 1990s because they stopped publishing schematics and switched to equipment as a service model back then, so stuff using ancient tech from the 50s, he can fix, stuff from the late 80s with microprocessors he can fix, stuff from after the switch, well he can fix but he has to reverse engineer the schematics which takes a lot of time and resources

    1
  2436. the selector had to be worn, there's no way the selector should be thrown into safe like that
    1
  2437. Is fine, hammer is standard issued equipment
    1
  2438. I remember as a kid the Cleveland Science Center had a full sized platter system and film Imax projection system. they had a glass wall where you could look in on the system from outside the theater and the whole thing was huuuuuge. Imax on film was a monster, too bad there's probably no imax film projectors left. Btw Imax 70mm Film does do DVD sync'd sound

  2439. that titanium hinge is nuts. The stuff is tough as hell
    1
  2440. You forgot the alternative, a black hole bomb where you feed back the released energy into itself over and over again
    1
  2441. I have no idea why tesla insists on removing literally every bit of physical feedback when that's becoming basically the universal singular and legitimate complaint about all teslas, one that regulators are going to have to rule on eventually
    1
  2442. send them a bunch of gun shaped objects with some boot polish
    1
  2443. hibar made such good machines, shame elon bought them to shut them down
    1
  2444. and yet the stock market is doing fantastic!
    1
  2445. mbt i guess would be that magic mix of fast, armored, with a high powered gun that represents the best of the technology of the time.
    1
  2446. should just plant some kind of foliage on them and leave them back to nature
    1
  2447. probably didn't cut it since they would have to import the guns at cost then convert them
    1
  2448. This is a crisis that requires a modicum of self sacrifice and thinking, so basically we're absolutely screwed.
    1
  2449. its turbocharged lol
    1
  2450. I'd argue the italians were worse since they got beaten by the greeks who were not even an armed force, they just beat up enough italians to form an incoherent blob of resistance. The issue is scale, Italy while it had ambitions, didn't ultimately spread its troops across half the globe
    1
  2451. the trump admin's own metrics stated they only deregulated about 500 or so rules, while I'm sure very reluctantly, enacting 200 new regulations. one-in-two out was a stupid policy that they adhered to but it was very easy to meet if they were putting zero new regulations in
    1
  2452. not that its exactly their fault but you'd think the supplier would have put more thought into jams
    1
  2453. picric acid, the spicy flamable one
    1
  2454. get gordon ramsey out there
    1
  2455.  @cirno4820  coal burning isn't the solution, hasn't ever been, when the heat waves get so hot your power plants have to shut down everybody is in the dark
    1
  2456. residential service is almost never able to get 3 phase power, didn't think about apartments but that makes a lot of sense since they have so many more people. I actually had an apartment that was on two separate panels which was funny for when they needed to change an outlet out and uh...couldn't find the breaker on one side of the building
    1
  2457. I get a lot of spaces aren't going to be exactly the measurements of their floorplan but missing 8000 square feet is pretty bad
    1
  2458. german is such a serious sounding silly language as opposed to dutch which is a silly sounding silly language
    1
  2459. the problem is that even office workers are becoming hourly, so cutting down hours reduces income instead of benefiting workers and in the USA of Freedom if you can't afford your benefits and costs you die, there is no state aid to make the gig economy work
    1
  2460. I'm normally in the camp of tighter gun regs but SBRs should just be deregulated entirely if only so we can kill the abominations that are arm braces
    1
  2461. its interesting that ITAR comes around in the middle of this story, and without COCOM today it forms the basis of the west's arms export controls and its got the same problems with dual use technologies slipping through
    1
  2462. NIMBYs like this are whats wrong with this country. people do this everywhere and its not just indiana, its almost universal that you don't own beaches no matter how many fences and signs you put up. Your point about accessing beaches is true but there's been cases in various states where homeowners have banded together and fenced beaches in and have been told to take it down
    1
  2463. seems like the issue is in the commission's review of this process, since 9/10 of the reviews were clearly in spite and should have been rejected
    1
  2464. ya you showed those germans/austrohungarians whats what with your superior rifles!
    1
  2465. How many of those Bergmans have you seen before? that one with the shoulder stock looks suspiciously like the one from your video a few years ago
    1
  2466. kinda funny nobody seemingly thought to shorten the bayonet instead of the rifle
    1
  2467. reminds me of the fake handcannon they made for the movie Red Heat because they had to have some kind of soviet equivalent to a big .44 magnum for Arnold
    1
  2468. front of the flight deck missing, just put the ship in reverse, all is fine.
    1
  2469. Mad max, halo, or people who have turned down their graphics settings
    1
  2470. really does seem like a thing that should have been designed out by now but everybody's got to have an ar15 like it was built. there's better solutions than a buffer these days
    1
  2471. 1600 psi boilers, my god they might have filled it with explosive barrels for as fun as that plant would have been
    1
  2472. missed the other important ramification, if you can make gravity on demand then you can build a nuclear bomb that uses next to no fuel and needs no initial stage to compress it
    1
  2473. that 3rd one looks suspiciously like a sterling smg
    1
  2474. what is with these rich guys and screaming about protestors, they were all for the right wing protestors saying death to america on january 6th, and these guys all wanted unlimited free speech on college campuses
    1
  2475. Its an Uzi! No its a MAC! No its Styerman!
    1
  2476.  @aac7183  ya its more the institutional system back then where the government's army told the manufacturers what to make but there was a bit of ross's stuff getting shot down because it wasn't from enfield
    1
  2477. what a weird take that conflates certification with qualification. I'm qualified by my workplace to calibrate certain machines but could calibrate other machines that we use outside services for because I'm not qualified to provide certification to that calibration for the purpose of production testing. same goes with certified mechanics, you're not paying for the mechanic necessarily, you're paying for the certification that its been done to a standard.
    1
  2478.  @WetDoggo  maybe there was a crosshair available
    1
  2479. ah ya, fall of 1917 probably wasn't a good year to try and sell guns in russia...
    1
  2480. I did just do a 200 amp service upgrade and my electrician got everything done with the outside in a day without any issues.
    1
  2481. you could get a pistol made however you wanted back then so you could get one made that way if your gunsmith was agreeable
    1
  2482. kinda makes you wonder why they hadn't built one there in the 19th century
    1
  2483. US small arms development in the post ww2 era was kind of bad... the m16/AR platform was a fluke
    1
  2484. China has a massive rural/urban divide in earnings that would be very difficult to just wave a hand and build more fake cities to fix
    1
  2485. even before MILES training the US did massive wargames where referees basically declared who did what in a very similar system before there were these sort of systems were used to augment them. The Dirty Dozen has a great bit of how that sort of process works
    1
  2486. it's some weird aviation primer that every plane and parts get painted with
    1
  2487. this is like something you'd find in CS:GO
    1
  2488. so this whole program was just to replace everything with grenade launchers wasn't it...
    1
  2489. 32:26 this worked much better for muzzle loaders on the land like in Malta
    1
  2490. "Since people aren't going to pay 300,000$ for a titanium toyota cammery..." Tbf, people pay 300,000$ for replicas of 60 year old sports cars, people are tots irrational in that sense
    1
  2491. WALKIE TALKIE DIEHARD!
    1
  2492. Someone ought to have gotten fired over this
    1
  2493. gee I wonder why they made so few of a gun that came out in 1913
    1
  2494. sneaky kraut is sneaky
    1
  2495. you could say, the army has range...anxiety...
    1
  2496. I think the point of the bug is that they won't be able to prove it was from the defense which is kind of taken for granted whenever the bad guys bug someone
    1
  2497. I argue its very easy to make the distinction between political action and bribery but then I think my determination wouldn't be too popular with the pro-CitizensUnited crowd
    1
  2498. this is because karl was able to spin this with his revolver isn't this? (yes I know karl said your spinner is worse in his video)
    1
  2499. kinda shocked they let the cops into the car, like its an armored car, clearly they're not a drug dealer
    1
  2500. they really gave gus so much shit for the capsule, it was only until recently they recovered the capsule and found he did not trigger the door, they didn't know the bolts could be triggered by small electrical faults caused by the hot vehicle hitting the water
    1
  2501. 16,000 tons is a cruiser not a destroyer
    1
  2502. koenigsegg kinda went to the next century with the use of solenoids and an all electric valve train
    1
  2503. bang bang bang bang "He must have an army of bandits with him!" bang bang bang bang "They aren't hitting anything though."
    1
  2504. you forgot the central problem to such vehicles, once they leave the envelope of ground-effect they immediately loose lift
    1
  2505. forward swept wings have a lot of advantages and one really bad disadvantage in that the wings reeeeeaaaaally want to snap off
    1
  2506. doesn't look like much, but 20 years of development and airplanes were sinking battleships
    1
  2507. my grandfather had like 3 of those enlargers in his basement, I wish my uncle hadn't thrown them out
    1
  2508. these things used to be staples of GM vehicles until like 2007 one of their issues is that vehicles were required to have backup cameras which meant they needed screens which meant ditching the vfd
    1
  2509. kind of hammers home that a 9mm (or pistol caliber) AR is basically a different gun altogether
    1
  2510. temperature resistance is gonna depend entirely on what resin system they used
    1
  2511. chunky, blocky, communist but not a big hand cannon. that 1st prototype looks almost like a 1911
    1
  2512. Sledgehammer (the US 1942 france invasion plan) would have been an absolute failure as the 1943 Torch landings would show, we had no idea what we were doing
    1
  2513. its funny enough the range officer had no clue what you had
    1
  2514. yes, fast moving cavalry, the perfect guys to rock up, setup a HMG, hold a position, then gallop away
    1
  2515. hmm 1910 seems like kind of late to try starting up a navy
    1
  2516. rediculous: yes useful: maybe dieselpunk: heck ya
    1
  2517. I swear half of these extreme sports is just people trying to get killed
    1
  2518. seems like with a bead mill one could make as fine pigment as you want, even better than what they could obtain back in the olden days, though that might be out of the reach of a hobbiest setup
    1
  2519. The guys making a nuclear 'battery' are being disingenuous around their product. I'm not sure micro really has a place on the ground, SMRs are probably the right scale since they will still require significant grid infrastructure and handling systems, similar in size to a gas fired power plant
    1
  2520.  Wulf  trains only started running better because they rebuilt their network
    1
  2521.  @qualicumwilson5168  its 3/4ths of congress to remove a judge, impeachment is functionally impossible
    1
  2522. love the math, 300k for film, then 250k for the fine, 18 million for the settlement then presumably way more than 3 million for the replacement because of the urgency vs 3 million to replace the windows
    1
  2523. I'd expect the global trade in counterfit chips grew substantially between 2020 and now
    1
  2524. its really hard to argue to a country they need to fix their economic policy when your own country is counting the tens of billions it has left in the treasury and bickering about bogus legal shenanigans
    1
  2525. I think they had to make a massive oil slick to get that t72 to drift but man its a great shot
    1
  2526. tort reform always comes up as one of the go to blanket statements as to how to fix our healthcare system instead of actually fix our healthcare system
    1
  2527. cccp 2.0 bugfix: removed most of the communism
    1
  2528. My landing craft is full of eels! I will not buy this battleship, it is scratched
    1
  2529. almost looks like an MP5 but french
    1
  2530. Its impossible to do this without the ukraine russia war, it can't be said if covid caused putin to invade or if it was inevitable
    1
  2531. I feel like this was a half built gun that a halfway good guy started building (and might have learned a few lessons), sold to his friend, who was a complete moron
    1
  2532. Well, when apple completely abandons intel your business will pick up since they'll probably 'obsolete' all the intel stuff and not support it or service it because they're evil like that
    1
  2533. if we stopped burning oil for energy and for fuel on most transport, excluding aircraft, we would be fine. even that falcon 9 isn't noticeably affecting global emissions as they only launch once every month at best.
    1
  2534. looks like there was a fire that gutted it
    1
  2535. 22:30 you pluck some brits from north africa in 1942 and they'd perfectly understand this issue of cooperation and coordination to break through mines and defensive chokepoints, it really isn't a new concept
    1
  2536. I think these things have been around since at least the 30s or 40s, but definetly were around in the 50s
    1
  2537. modern warfare isn't strictly fought along production like it was in ww2. Today its about stockpiles, intensity of conflict, and how many forces you commit. You're basically not going to build any new f35s in the time it takes to fight a modern high intensity war, so you have only diminishing stockpiles of weapons and vehicles
    1
  2538. 6:36 wait, he's shoving that into everybody's mouth and not doing anything, that's not even pretending to do the test that's just idiocy
    1
  2539.  @coderock_666  no, they were passed out from the gforces and shock. they were dead on impact
    1
  2540. Lol, China tells them they send their homeless to a farm somewhere far away where they're taken care of, I bet all the lost and sick pets go there too.
    1
  2541. you could then store the carbon fuels in underground formations for temporary or permanent storage
    1
  2542. you should get ahold of a revolver fitted with a Magna Trigger, that's another forgotten weapon thing
    1
  2543.  @shrayesraman5192  what was the US going to do anyways, take boat loads of japanese civilians and haul them off to china as prisoners? There's a bloody wound but the CCP are the ones that bring it up over and over again to make themselves look wholesome
    1
  2544. the shitty part is it all comes down to a board of people saying yes or no and they kept saying yes
    1
  2545. clearly the germans invented it first as the soviets never came up with anything on their own, but they let the soviets think the germans reversed engineered it and kept it from service until the soviets had fielded their version
    1
  2546. this thing really looks like a henchman gun for a spy thriller
    1
  2547. turned out standardizing small arms like battle rifles wasn't that big of a deal. everybody can basically make rifles today
    1
  2548. Organizes Peasantry "Oi you scab, you think you can just be poor on any street you like! This street is represented by the local 245th Peasantry!"
    1
  2549. Hope it lives a longer life than the morgan
    1
  2550. the article isn't bad actually its people picking up the story. the original article was mostly just showing off the interesting custom tools and jigs a repair shop COULD get. the headline was probably not great though
    1
  2551. "this customer was very paranoid about 3rd party repairs. Anywho time to get smashed while fixing it." you inspire so much confidence in people.
    1
  2552. the japanese book Yukikazi is right up your guy's alley, the blend of man, war machine, and the question of where one ends, the other begins, and how long man will even be needed for it and who's the master when wars are plotted by computers before fighting battles
    1
  2553. Bramit? bramit, BRAMIT!
    1
  2554. i used to lap with Isopropyl alcohol, similar properties but wd40 is probably not great for computer parts. also a profilometer and a surface plate are going to work better than a mic, though its gonna be hard to make sure the card is flat to begin with
    1
  2555. seems like they coulda just gone to the ATF and requisitioned a bunch of confiscated guns and not had something that screams "CIA"
    1
  2556. the unfortunate lesson they also learned while making these guns, paratroopers suck and you should never use them. not something the gun could fix
    1
  2557. hey look a place where socialist european gun law is better than US law, though the ATF's reasoning here is correct.
    1
  2558. that's one very good looking police sniper rifle
    1
  2559. in some places the soviets weren't blisteringly incompetent. the western (especially western US) sprawl model has put workers on ever increasing commutes and made public transport impractical to implement
    1
  2560. "Cruisers or battleships?" "Yes."
    1
  2561. 2 years to build a super carrier
    1
  2562. nasa glenn has been running 20KW ion engines for nearly a year proving reliability. xeon is so much better as a storeable propellant than LOX we only need to figure out the power source
    1
  2563. side loading revolvers were basically just as quick and substantially easier to manufacture as well as tougher by virtue of being solid frame guns.
    1
  2564.  @Edax_Royeaux  theres a ship that i wish had survived until the modern times
    1
  2565. Angry Little Ship
    1
  2566. you buggered the timestamp bot
    1
  2567. huh, my question is why didn't they just put a longer barrel on that gun, the fn 1900 has as far as I know, a fixed barrel
    1
  2568. they also had prison guards, even navy pilots who were very confused in the Fliegerführer Atlantik
    1
  2569. Remember the maine! no not that one
    1
  2570. 1850s hellboy pistol...?
    1
  2571. so he's had this thing by 2 separate mechanic shops and he didn't bother to ask them to maybe make the steering not terrible...? I guess commitment to keeping it faithful to the original car
    1
  2572. isn't this testing a little unfair for this gun at this range?
    1
  2573. seriously this thing is getting out of control
    1
  2574. Sorry man, it took me 4 seconds to find a Levelless toaster on Amazon.
    1
  2575. Gold can always be mined, recycled, and rarely just lost; Bitcoin though cannot be recovered once coins are lost, and the total number of coins is going to be capped until such time the major holders decide to devalue the coin by lifting the cap, which I'm sure they'll get around to... long term inflation of bitcoin is going to be a huge problem
    1
  2576. meat tenderizer is for making dinner on the march, the bayonette is also a butter knife
    1
  2577. I never thought you could extract so much work from a .22lr
    1
  2578. I like that this could be built without zoning codes but I feel like this might be pushing it a little bit
    1
  2579. diesel punk red dot
    1
  2580. almost looks like a hollywood armorer's work
    1
  2581. seems like some ideas keep popping up
    1
  2582.  @rudolfschrenk9411  that's also what a lot of monitor ships adopted later on to mitigate their terrible freeboard characteristics, float higher in the water when not in combat but sink down when engaged
    1
  2583. everybody should just bootstrap and be glad for what they have! sincerely NeoConservatism
    1
  2584. oh no he went to denmark, how could he stand the socialism
    1
  2585. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to fire this, let alone use the platinum plated reloading tool to spread platinum on my ammunition
    1
  2586. its ok, union carbide got bought by dupont and they take safety seriously, except that time they released chemical weapons in WV, or those decades it took for them to poison all of the world with tefflon ....
    1
  2587. In your videos especially on the soloman isles, it seemed as though ships had a very difficult time communicating information about incoming torpedoes to other ships in their formations. How exactly did they spot torpedoes in ww2 and communicate that information quickly? I assume the process evolved greatly throughout the war and varied by country to country
    1
  2588. nobody said you couldn't, just that you don't need a million manhours of machining for something like a tossable smg
    1
  2589. hknuddv looks like its because the slot for the ejection is really tiny and the ammo is probably not quite up to what it was when it was new
    1
  2590. I know there's a growing number of communities that wouldn't let them put the old red roofed places in because they were "eyesores",
    1
  2591. a thunderf00t video where he's not disproving something is pretty great
    1
  2592. how the heck did someone get this in the US and get it registered and not get fed up enough to throw it at the targets?
    1
  2593. I guess the problem with these things is it was probably a good idea to build it, but with all the debt and china really in for the money, kills these things. building highways have a host of their own problems that we shouldn't export onto other countries, though in this case I can guess they also needed a good road as well.
    1
  2594. I think in general methalox engines haven't been developed because they don't have any military application and isn't as good as the more mature hydrogen engines, it really took someone without the constraints of legacy aerospace to get it off the ground
    1
  2595. seems like texas should have fixed this but this is texas
    1
  2596. hmmm... its 1931 and the belgians want to start testing it. I can see them running out of time on this
    1
  2597. "No the point you were making is that jews who vote for obama aren't jews, not that jews are irreligious" a journalist that can do sentence dissection
    1
  2598. they made some tough machinery. have an industrial press at work thats probably 50 years old, kinda mostly works
    1
  2599. apocryphal but the Milwaukie Road which was an electrified rail road from chicago to seatle on its early runs had a negative energy cost because of the regenerative braking down the rockies generated more electricity than it took to drive it up the mountain
    1
  2600. the way to build low cost housing is a standardized design, densely constructed on a large enough scale to be affordable. most of the 'low cost' housing projects announced in my city have been ~20% or less of the project's total units, and efforts to build low cost housing in the towns around have been killed by NIMBYs who think it'll devalue their property
    1
  2601. Maybe if housing wasn't left to the invisible hand of the free market and the tattered remains of the older social safety net people could afford to work in a city like NYC
    1
  2602. Ok the only thing I will say is this was an early model of model S with a nearly unique battery pack. That's all I will give tesla, because they absolutely should put out instructions to rebuilding battery packs and rebalancing battery packs in software. There are guys running tesla packs and motors that have to use the physical pedal out of the tesla just because the software is locked down. this is going to take legislation and regulatory penalties to get these big tech companies to put the resources into developing these techniques and let a new industry of specialty shops provide these services
    1
  2603. one old guy I worked with rigged a spaceheater to plug into the shop's 480v power supply. THAT was a dangerous heater
    1
  2604. that cross bar safety and easy squeeze activation seems like the biggest flaw in this. other pocket guns like this have much better safety mechanisms
    1
  2605. love the PSA about shooting this thing under its intended range
    1
  2606. a 10km range for an anti tank missile seems a little excessive
    1
  2607. its like boeing saw the fireballs from a kc130 then decided to one up it
    1
  2608. TECs are good for direct cooling specific components, these fridges tend to be of the shoddiest construction with less insulation than a cardboard box. My dad had a refrigerated cooler for his car when he did large amounts of travel, it actually got cold because it was a cooler with a lid that had the cooling element in it
    1
  2609. a constantly debunked theory because they did not have m16s, a rifle just in production at the time, they did have ar-15s which would have completely exploded kennedy's head at point blank range if it had been an accidental discharge since they were in .308 not 5.56 like the m16, but further nobody testified that they saw shots go off in the vehicles, they only heard them from the book repository and the grassy knoll which was an echo now ronald reagan did get shot by a ricochet off of the presidential limo as he was being pushed to safety by his secret security
    1
  2610. Good thing I always buy my titles from the perfectly above board King of Sealand
    1
  2611. funny thing is that buildings are all buildings, there's all sorts of things that have a finite lifespan on these super towers like rubber seals, gaskets, window frames, metal cladding, utility pipes.... leave a building empty and its gonna start failing eventually, and ya maybe they can afford to pay people to fix stuff but less eyes on the unit means something breaks and stays broken

  2612. I always saw the dichotomy between wartime and peacetime adoptions as what do we need right now vs what is an investment for the future, britain needed millions of stens in 1940 but it was a temporary gun that didn't last but didn't need to, while in peacetime you can buy or produce the arms that are more expensive but higher quality and will stick around for a long time
    1
  2613. "acquired" these guns were prisoners of war! they were firing at the turks long after the last of the empire's soldiers had left galipali not this specific gun but others like it.

  2614. 20$ for 7 bulbs? my dad used to have like dozens and dozens of these, huge strings of them. they had replaceable bulbs too. they were an absolute pain to string, check, and store
    1
  2615. they are a pain to get lit and going
    1
  2616. amazing how the idea of basic plumbing impliments as an SMG doesn't seem to have occured to anyone at the time
    1
  2617. in that era a lot of ww2 ships were just sold for junk, it was quite expensive and difficult to turn one of those ships into a museum even back then. today the whole preservation movement has a lot more backing.
    1
  2618. Look, the Mark I 'Rock' can opener was perfectly fine, soldiers just weren't using it right! same issue with all the other can openers, its always user error
    1
  2619. i feel like that's just gonna melt it
    1
  2620. Maybe the sad and ironic part of Clockwork Orange is that while society is awful, everybody still seems to have a good standard of living
    1
  2621. its big, its kinda dumb, but the germans could shoot it full of holes and not hit anything important thanks to the huge supercharger duct underneath and the radial engine. should have been given drop tanks but the p51 just performed better in that role with its better aerodynamics
    1
  2622. so would it devalue it if you say....finished it off and made it a fully functional machinegun shotgun?
    1
  2623. The year is 2048, the machines have taken over and humanity is on trial. Exhibit 1001010011101011: "Hey guys I got a robot and I'm gonna have it pull me!"

  2624. if only you knew someone with a pile of trap launchers from the late 1800s through the 1960s
    1
  2625. I think the capsule maker kind of never thought maybe people don't want to live in tiny all white plastic boxes...
    1
  2626. Good thing Obama built the Keystone pipeline. Not the XL Extension Pipeline but the one already there
    1
  2627. what a terribly janky and yet creative way to do background colors, I thought those were colored gels with white backlighting
    1
  2628. quite a silly idea
    1
  2629. having specific jurisdictions where you can avoid SLAPP laws is a feature not a bug, he points out that neither him, nor bob murry have any business in west virginia yet he still can go there and sue him in that court because he has the resources to do so
    1
  2630. an AK as if designed by the swiss
    1
  2631. customs and border patrol doing something illegal, draconian, and ignoring the larger body of the law? say itaint so!
    1
  2632. I think we're probably in the "Stop shooting missiles at my ship!" phase
    1
  2633. CAPTURED we took it fair and square NO TAKE BACKSEYS also it very nearly became a perminent submarine on the way to chicago
    1
  2634. nist standards are hella expensive but when you need one you need one
    1
  2635. USA: Put it somewhere far away from people as we can USSR: Put it as close to people as we can, to test the effects.
    1
  2636. had a bit of a problem with stabilization, fly by wire might have been invented by the late 60s to counter that but they canned the project anyways
    1
  2637. I'm seeing one significant flaw with all these. they're relatively immobile and not that protective when the other guy brings cannons
    1
  2638. seems like this may also be a function of funding vs institutionalism. as a repository of knowledge, it faces constant funding crisis because the few experts rarely have enough money to continue its operation while public (or private to an extent) moneys will kind of force museums to draw people in to justify its budget
    1
  2639. I thought about it but Mr Ted "kill the government" Cruz made it basically impossible to join when I was at the age to do so, I talked to recruiters in college about doing ROTC and they turned me away, they had no spots because of the sequester, and didn't throughout my college years, all thanks to ted cruz trying to force through stupid ideology. I thought about joining after college and decided against it. Not sure how we fix the military really because its now being dragged into the wokeness wars by the GOP at a time when it really needs to change its culture
    1
  2640. seems like it would make a great place to park a number of british capital ships as a museum, if they had any
    1
  2641. glaze the nozzle?
    1
  2642.  @raven4k998  he didn't. he passed away in 2021 after being kicked out of academia
    1
  2643. its really interesting how trains have been essentially kicked out of a lot of supply chains. My plant is a hundred years old, when it opened it was horse n buggy or train, the rails and depot are still technically serviceable but we only do shipping by truck even though a single train could pull the cargo of a dozen trucks
    1
  2644. the ethanol in the fuel might be holding the 1st gen back, but it also didn't exactly have that much to start with

  2645. "Oh shit we scrammed the reactor." "Great, so what do we do about not crashing?"
    1
  2646. what's better than 40s xmas lights? 40s xmas lights with bits of flammable liquid on top! also I had bubble lights with replaceable bulbs
    1
  2647. there's a better version of this more specifically for sockets
    1
  2648. you don't need a license to cut hair, you need a license to handle the chemicals used in hair dressing since they can cause permanent chemical burns
    1
  2649. heard an anicdote that Zukhov refused to sit in Stalin's office because he had undersized furniture to make himself look more imposing, and also when stalin told him to do some things he'd just say no
    1
  2650. dictating how much of the collection gets displayed, how complete it must be, and whether duplicates can or can't be sold off is an impossible ask and you'd think he would have spent some time researching this before he passed
    1
  2651. small modular reactors are so promising
    1
  2652. .44 automag, when cool hits the 80s fan
    1
  2653. kinda like how the vz 26 went on to become so many brens and bren clones
    1
  2654. if death did not exist before his son killed his consort accidentally why did he have a sword, a weapon who's only purpose is to kill? Why would one make a weapon that can only do something you don't have any concept for?
    1
  2655. this example is funny enough because they felt the need to wrap the whole thing in wood
    1
  2656. putting rubber ontop of a hot chip would normally be a very questionable practice
    1
  2657. Oh thank goodness, I already wasn't going to buy one but this persuades me to still not buy one
    1
  2658. "this is the 44 automag the coolest handgun in the world, capable of blowing your head clean off and I know what you're thinking, 'Did he load 5 or 6 shots?' Well do you feel lucky punk? Do ya?"

    1
  2660. so if you put a 30 round mag into this and set it to 25, does a H&K technician drive up and remark the selector options?
    1
  2661. dang its lunch time and I don't have 1 hour to watch this
    1
  2662. as always whenever you point it out, I wish Trump was just an ordinary american citizen because endless scores of lawyers and judges seem to believe otherwise
    1
  2663. or over the trench

  2664. August 15th 1939 was the premier date for The Wizard of Oz, clearly Goring was inspired by the gilded city of Oz to commission-slash-dictate these be made
    1
  2665. monopropellant isn't Cold its just less hot than its contemporaries, handling high test peroxide is not fun, used to use 95% hydrogen peroxide in lab work from what I've read it gets dangerous above that, can't imagine what it would look like if i had any permanganate sitting around
    1
  2666. the thing is the manufacturers do lap their dies, its part of the silicon process, just not after they've been mounted to a card
    1
  2667. that first one looks gorgeous, the 2nd one might be a nightmare since its got a 1 off magazine
    1
  2668. man had this thing been finished it would have collapsed the next time a hurricane hit florida
    1
  2669.  @foashly7400  right, ian has had absolutely beautiful ones on here b4
    1
  2670. anti ship missiles as I understand, are generally built to pop up at the last moment and hit the deck armor instead of the side armor, so theoretically it'd be at a minimum like taking a battleship shell to the deck
    1
  2671. this was tried in the 50s, they used multiple rotors chained together to compress and then another to combust, there only ever were a handful of them as test engines
    1
  2672. Just as a joke they should send a tesla or porche tycan down this when its done
    1
  2673. is it still a machinegun if there's literally no ammunition for the weapon in existence...
    1
  2674. m3, 10 and 11 might have just been placeholders with no program ever assigned, just on the basis that they might anticipate a new gun
    1
  2675. did you intend for the title to say "The iconic smelly of wwi?"
    1
  2676. in a world where rails and kit didn't exist...
    1
  2677. not sure you'd want to shoot a prototype that uses an experimental locking system, though 9mm isn't exactly that bad
    1
  2678. does this thing fall into ATF Curio and Relic status for being a truly forgotten, novel, weapon greater than 50 years old
    1
  2679. I'd flip this on its head and say the most unsafe cars are those lifted trucks where they've stuck huge steel raming bar on the front of. If he slams into me, I'm literally decapitated by his deliberate dismantling of his vehicle's safety systems
    1
  2680. think the idea of the hook might be shooting with a riot shield
    1
  2681. too bad your choices are all the same regardless of the company, its called Industry Standards
    1
  2682. 2:27 I sense Tillman's hand at work here
    1
  2683.  @centurion1945  ya that's true, that probably explains why these are all in black and white, at least the newer times
    1
  2684. saw this, thought the special was out, apparently its mot
    1
  2685. I really wish the politicians saying Biden failed Ukraine by overestimating russia would shut up, this was the good mistake to make, nobody wants to be 1940 france thinking they're superior to their peer. Afghanistan is an entirely other bag, and they're being disingenuous about their response especially if trump had been in office since biden was forced to follow through the plan he was left, and the only other option would have been to keep staying there which would have made the aid to ukraine way more difficult to do since we were tied down in afghanistan
    1
  2686. ya but how good is it at raytracing? how does this compare to intel battlerifle?
    1
  2687. seems like the grip safety isn't really that good
    1
  2688. its interesting that this thing is much more advanced than the german equivalent which had wooden wheels and iron rims but the exclusion of any suspension seems glaring
    1
  2689. legitimately thought this was Inside Man not Dog Day Afternoon
    1
  2690. ah but you see Trump believes he is still president and is just letting biden play president for the sake of the country, and will beat him in the next election, so therefore executive privilage applies in his mind, which has sparked a large amount of debate in the Heritage Foundation about the legality
    1
  2691. I find it kind of funny they went with a cross bolt safety, I thought the military abhored those, and this wasn't a war time adoption either, they had time
    1
  2692. given that they have to move this thing without it stopping, the copper probably doesn't do much except possibly produce a tiny tiny gust of air. the center box probably doesn't do anything at all. the glass bearings do most of the work preserving motion
    1
  2693. well this thing is just silly
    1
  2694. if you did run f1 with no rules it probably wouldn't look like an f1

  2695. "I wanted it to be good so I got 2 other scientists, neil degrass tyson and bill nye" Man this takes me back to that one Stargate episode...
    1
  2696. the cutlass was at least a cool looking aircraft, though the problem is clear today you need computer control to make that sort of thing work
    1
  2697. its really striking that boeing was shut out of the f35's construction, this only lead them to start buying up part suppliers underneath lockheed, basically selling them the parts they need for their plane they shut boeing out of
    1
  2698. Its ted cruz because he's a senator, has a god complex, and would love for people to murder, loot and pillage in his name
    1
  2699. I know movie sound effects for suppressors are usually bad but this thing was doing the movie pfft pfft pfft thing
    1
  2700. shoulda just adopted the FAL
    1
  2701. ah yes, the b-36, a safer plane which uh... had a reputation for...what was it.... 2 turning, 4 burning?
    1
  2702. Ok its not like .38 special was some new fangled cartridge, why didn't they just adopt a .38 special or .38 s&w
    1
  2703. what do you mean, elbonia is famous for having purchased over 200 Ford Tri-Motors to use for paratrooper deployment, granted they all were scrap metal by the time they arrived, duraluminum wasn't very durable... but they have an airforce
    1
  2704. amazing how you can deal with that much recoil and remain a precision rifle
    1
  2705. it really seems like the flaw with the blich lock should have been obvious as dissimilar metals are used for lowering the coefficients of friction such as bronze and steel.
    1
  2706. saw the only prototype left in dayton, it towers over the entire prototype collection
    1
  2707. its a who's who of who hates each other.
    1
  2708. all of this really does make you wish the US navy would have gotten the Zimwalt's large guns to work because I can only imagine how precicely they can hold those guns tracking on target in a modern ship
    1
  2709. the fact is, the aussies brought machineguns, Australia brough emus, and Australia won
    1
  2710. you won't be able to repair modern jet engine parts, quite a lot of a 737's engines are made of composites, plus since they're a class 5 Export country, they had very heavily controlled parts supplies since they can't receive high performance materials
    1
  2711. Lets see how well Texas survives 2020 with a massive crash in sale tax revanues and lack of income tax vs New York who saw the same crash in sales tax but has an income tax
    1
  2712. didn't Ian have a video with Walther from shotshow where they basically said the US just isn't the market they want to compete in?
    1
  2713. they really shouldn't have tried to make the front a storage space if they had to tightly pack everything like that
    1
  2714. you guys could just do a whole season on PK Dick
    1
  2715. that bulpup prototype really looks like something out of Halo

  2716. I hope Uber collapses maybe people will stop leaving scooters piled up on the side of the road
    1
  2717. Ah yes the USS Porter, yet another casualty of Ordinance Department, the US one
    1
  2718. I'm sure the test pilots would have loved concept B, what with the immediate death that would happen if you had to eject for any reason
    1
  2719. these days contracts seem more like demands since the amount of shit they can put in a contract is only limited by the creativity of the lawyers employed by the person who writes it
    1
  2720. how broken actually is this car?
    1
  2721. what bazillionaire lent you not only these preproduction guns but also the luger
    1
  2722. the dude that designed this must have had ripped arms to not think this wasn't a bit of a problem
    1
  2723. Are the Nelsons then the only true battleships in the atlantic?
    1
  2724.  @silverhost9782  they did plan to make 2 but they also looked at what the japanese were doing, probably what everyone else was doing and thought carriers worked like battleships where you could just make them bigger than your opponent's and just win, and never really seemed to work out that carriers required a lot more doctrinal development, coordination between services, and also probably some smaller scale development before you build a battleship sized carrier
    1
  2725. Thing is, he stripped the car of the battery, motor, electronics, basically anything he could sell before blowing it up
    1
  2726. guns are like doors, they look easy enough to make until you actually try to make them and realize they're really hard
    1
  2727. better or worse than your calico?
    1
  2728. my brother keeps listening to these crazy people, I am not shocked in the slightest that they are disorganized, rambling, and are toxic to work with
    1
  2729. how do you mess up making an AR-18 this badly
    1
  2730. What style would a Furness building be
    1
  2731. the best part is chinese escalators have a terrible safety record
    1
  2732. it was one of the worst planes ever, just sneezing in it might have been enough to be melted by boiling acid
    1
  2733. 3:30 ah they don't make them like they used to
    1
  2734. We have the technology, we can rebuild these tubes, make them shoot faster, have higher capacity, and endurance...
    1
  2735. illegal to carry in Ohio
    1
  2736. ya they recently did a lot of videos on their channel, the blisters are probably done by now if the last update was anything to go by
    1
  2737. the bit about the floors not being strong enough is funny, who thought up putting the cannons on the 2nd floor, why put down heringbone wood floors if you're putting cannons on it, why put up so many vaulted halls if you're putting cannons out
    1
  2738. I'm not the lawyer but I think planting evidence on someone in your board disciplinary hearing miiiiiiigggght be a bad strategy
    1
  2739. 2 barrel revolver in .22 magnum, what could go wrong?
    1
  2740. at least they're making stuff with built in flaws, imagine having to actually troubleshoot and repair unusual hardware failures. how do dells hold up btw? I have one that cooked itself tons of times and got dropped a bunch and lived in my backpack being tossed around through college, but I hear the new xps laptops are failing pretty bad
    1
  2741. then it all melted down because its LA and its 130 F there (54 C)
    1
  2742. the us military was giving officers baby colts for basically the same reason back then, and germany had to go out of the way to convince officers that no they didn't need a luger with the fancy leather holster, so its not unique to japan to give officers weapons they don't need
    1
  2743. broadside torpedo tubes on a sub is wild
    1
  2744. seems like the workers of amazon will take this precedent because amazon does this but on a much larger scale
    1
  2745. I wonder why crash test legislation hasn't been written into law in the last 50 years, can't be the vehicle manufacturers lobbying, they say they want to make cars safer after all and you can't get away with saying something and doing the opposite, that'd be evil
    1
  2746. omg this thing is the Cluso of Japan
    1
  2747. the scary thing about systems like china is how many people have to be involved in it to work, they've built a system like the stazi in east germany where more people are involved in spying on people than there are people not spying on people
    1
  2748. pretty much the first attempt at the Asian Model of Economic Development
    1
  2749. on the left we have the m1 rack, the nagant rack, the mauser rack, the enfield rack....
    1
  2750. you wonder why they didn't just give them like a 16 round stick mag instead of going to the trouble of doing the drum
    1
  2751. I can see a fundimental flaw in this gun, its always going to have a live cartridge in it
    1
  2752. I wonder how the measurements from my old job's CMM which was stuck in the very back of the met-lab compares to this thing
    1
  2753. its possibly ironic that the ar15 was supposed to be temporary
    1
  2754. tuesday was actually a day when people were most likely to be in town, also elections were basically holidays due to the logistics of having to have a lot of people show up in one place, all the issues with voter suppression and having elections on a work day are more modern
    1
  2755. someday Ian shall have at one table the entire lineage of H&K guns
    1
  2756. "1990 silly mobile." Hey, at least japan made some cool stuff when they were in their massive money splurge phase, the middle east just built a bunch of crappy buildings
    1
  2757. by 1916 they might as well have given her to the brits
    1
  2758. na its fine because unlike the socialist illinois, you can buy as many guns there as you want, then drive back to socialist illinois
    1
  2759. think not of the katana as a backup sword but as a very large two handed bayonette
    1
  2760. not quite chernobyl but it does seem like they could have found a better place to stick their giant cyanide pond besides next to one of romania's major rivers
    1
  2761. I wonder if this wasn't just made as a wall hanger/decorative piece and all the "functional" bits like the bolt and magazine just vaguely look like they would work
    1
  2762. the nrx seemed to have been responsibly dealt with.
    1
  2763. the most heavily armed ship in the world for 45 minutes
    1
  2764. dang I worked for DuPont for 4 years and didn't know they also owned remington once upon a time
    1
  2765. on a henry especially, the magazine tube on the top might have been better and safer given the follower problems that design has but then the sights would be way over bore
    1
  2766. seems like "Better than mp5" is just nitpicking with enough money to buy a new gun because a lot of the requirements aren't usually that far off of what an mp5 already does
    1
  2767. all finished already though
    1
  2768. I wonder what's the chance of breaking off a flute with that funky bipod mount
    1
  2769. seems like you could glue a neodymium magnet onto the side of it to catch the little slivers. as it is, all food products have an 'acceptable' amount of iron, just look at people confusing iron dust in their cereal for the iron content on the box. I've worked in food packaging and uh ya you're good on iron.
    1
  2770. thing is in aerial applications your minigun is going to get aircooled pretty quickly and you only ever have a minute or so of ammunition
    1
  2771. weird how conservatives got upset over this one TRAP-style law.
    1
  2772. not a new engineering solution by any means, drones have been catapult launched since basically the beginning, but this is the first for using it for peaceful purposes
    1
  2773. this thing must have the worst trigger pull ever
    1
  2774. on the plus side if you ever ran out of ammo you could bludgeon someone to death with that bolt
    1
  2775. RIP Loadcell 2022-2022
    1
  2776. is this a ghetto blaster since you always fire it sideways?
    1
  2777. theoretically the steel used for making warships today is superior to the krupp and STS of ww2, we just don't tend to manufacture it in the ludicrous thicknesses of ww2 armor, but that's more of a technical limit, the machines that make such steel might even be from the 30s and 40s since those giant steel mills such as Bethlehem still exist. The technology you'd have the hardest time reconstructing would be the guns, since all development on massive guns basically stopped once ww2 broke out. The Iowas were relying on their spares to stay in service since that infrastructure was completely gone. I'm not even sure we'd want to make guns the same way as any new century battleship would be computer designed from the start and we have much much better technology for fabricating very large components, the issue would be one of cost and commitment, look at the zimwalts, they have these big guns, the biggest we've fitted since the iowas, and we couldn't make the commitment to build shells for its guns
    1
  2778. "One sunk in 1942 by submarine." What did they do, get out and toss a bomb at it?
    1
  2779. maybe put some thread lock on those screws if they're vibrating loose (or just some glue if you're lazy)
    1
  2780. hot loaded 9mm blowback pistol, what could possibly go wrong?
    1
  2781. 2:57 remarkably simple and straight forward tender also absolutely stupid the ammo and launcher are seperate contracts when these are all custom systems

  2785. they're just doing the roger the alien bit from american dad now
    1
  2786. oh one ive heard of b4
    1
  2787. then the usmc would adopt it in halo 2
    1
  2788. only difference between ww2 and post war cheap smgs is that post ww2 maybe added some complexity with safeties and other internal bits that you do kind of want in an smg but were cut in ww2 for ultimate cost savings
    1
  2789. This is Lyoids of London too, the guys who claim to be able to insure EVERYTHING
    1
  2790. I believe its kearsarge not olympia. Kearsarge had the same peacetime decoration but its got the prominent bridge over top whereas olympia doesn't
    1
  2791. really hope you get a followup to this

  2792. he probably would have hated early guided missiles since they were absolute crap but probably would have pushed for improvements in gun technology
    1
  2793. its a complicated gun that required a bit more engineering and development work as well as quality than what was probably possible at the time for small companies
    1
  2794. so glad you covered this odd decision
    1
  2795. ah what could explain miraculously surviving the war of 1812, maybe just the british not always being unbeatable
    1
  2796. the east coast in the early 1900s was a breeding ground for this sort of movement to meld science to religious dogma, which took the world down a dark path for a while, got bombed to oblivion, then resurrected in the 1980s and we are increasingly mired in
    1
  2797. shareholder primacy and trickle down economics are exactly this, doing harm to the most people, benefitting the least, the most
    1
  2798. I feel like the only reason why the paramarines existed was just because the army had them, I can't think of any time when you'd be able to deploy them or be invading somewhere where you'd need them. Apparently the US Military had the same thoughts, especially as the paramarines never had transport aircraft
    1
  2799. then the combined trains went super critical and melted down
    1
  2800. eh, my appartment didn't have any windows that could take a portable window unit being at ground level, and it was twice the size of what the room needed to be you're right about these things being crappy but window airconditioners seemingly have not gotten any better
    1
  2801. you want to talk about light pillution, my college dorm had a soccer field in the middle of the campus, and they ran the field lights from twilight, to about 4 AM because they had a 3AM soccer league for some inexplicable reason it was like having a spotlight pointed directly into your window every night for 6 months straight.
    1
  2802. uss United States is a dumb name anyways
    1
  2803. It wouldn't be a metrology lab without an optical comparator

  2805. Perfect for pacifying a crowd
    1
  2806. sees AZZA logo Yep its gonna get weird
    1
  2807. I do like the solution was just to saw off the barrel, you can imagine they came to the correct length by just driving it around and seeing where it got stuck
    1
  2808. 7 years on, every one of these cabinet members sold the country out for their own personal gain
    1
  2809. its fascinating that we haven't had more pharmacutical based passification schemes throughout history. Scifi was absolutely certain both democracies and authoritarian states would justify their use for stability, and the relative cost to produce drugs completely cratered in the 20th century to the point where making enough doses of something isn't fictional levels of spending
    1
  2810. ah the terrible one not the one that we kept for maybe a little too long
    1
  2811. those late 1800s steel/iron hulled ships were very weird, they were purposefully built without engines
    1
  2812. given the rarity its gonna be obscene
    1
  2813. Constitutional Originalism and Textualism are bullshit, creating a cover for a predetermined outcome
    1
  2814. plus if you look on a map, they can do 100 mph to the facility if they wanted to, its completely empty
    1
  2815. the stupid thing is, you (hopefully) eventually get to a point where the only thing they can entice you to leave for another company is benefits and compensation, so they lead with that. The current employer I'm working for essentially did that. I had an office and while didn't exactly like the job, was getting paid pretty well, so they had to offer me a position paying at least as well with at least as good benefits to bring me on, and they did. I lost the office but got more vacation, and a 10 minute commute
    1
  2816. well he does have his rover and miata there as well...
    1
  2817. the big versions use rotatable stator vanes to keep the compressor pressure up, thus keeping the combustion process sustaining, but that's probably beyond your capabilities
    1
  2818. the front wheel at speed is kind of like a rudder before you get to the hydraulics
    1
  2819. wonder if theres a market for making a single shot pistol with a new ammo
    1
  2820. thought the idea was you couldn't get a charge to stick to like a moving tank thats shaking and rolling
    1
  2821. I think this thing might be setup as a hit or miss setup where the ignition is limited by the rpms that the sensor is sensing, too fast and it just skips ignition until it slows back down
    1
  2822. straight pull does seem like a logical thing to convert, no mussing about with bolts
    1
  2823. to run a command economy one must first understand that there should exist an economy. really one of the big problems of the ussr, they criminally ignored economics
    1
  2824. that's a shocking amount of AC units, like how much more expensive would a mini-split system really be if they're running an AC in every room and cutting a hole in every wall
    1
  2825. isn't that region terribly mountanous...
    1
  2826. huh, something was different about Ian for the mp5, can't place it though
    1
  2827. CPI is such a complicated thing to calculate though, the more data points you collect, the more realistic it gets. I think they even go as far as contact stores directly to price check things like specific brands of butter or milk
    1
  2828. ya trying to find the first non-repeating bullpup would be a fruitless exercise as even back to the beginnings of the gun people had versions used on the shoulders
    1
  2829. centrifugal flow engines were just more mature at the time vs axial flow and easier to integrate
    1
  2830. I think its kind of ironic an american gun was sold to spanish to probably be used against americans when we totally-didn't-invade invaded them
    1
  2831. in theory, a purpose built, nationally supplemented cargo ship could work, maybe the only way it could work, since it would require state level international agreements to allow nuclear cargo ships to travel to european ports. The biggest hurdle really is the crew since current merchant mariners are not usually the best and brightest, outside of a few critical roles. the previous era of nuclear cargo ships also failed because they weren't container ships
    1
  2832. they were pretty sure torpedoes and battleships were gonna have some important relationship. they just didn't quite get that relationship right
    1
  2833. its like the unholy marriage of a grease gun, a sten gun, and an mp40
    1
  2834. oh cool Ian, I had thought this would have been a good platform for you from when Linus launched it
    1
  2835. seems like banks are in fact public entities run on the largesse of the taxpayers and there's no real distinction between government and private ownership when they always get bailed out at 100% whenever anything happens grumble in socialism noises
    1
  2836. biscuits lots of biscuits
    1
  2837. wow that's fucking stupid. guess I'm keeping the 450 I have at work. I absolutely hate the dymo software. Zebra's are much better for like a factory application
    1
  2838. There's no wrong way to say lieutenant except for the odd movie where its pronounced very strongly Left-tenant which is just wrong
    1
  2839. thing about framework is its not even a compromise on performance or price, its a good product at a good price
    1
  2840. when I worked in a mill that had iffy wiring, every plug in the mill was a 240 plug and every 120v plug had to be adapted to plug in, then again at another job an older fellow there was running a space heater off a full 240v 30 amp circuit
    1
  2841. no you didn't find wacky steerable lamps, those were outlawed by these very regulations (actually side mounted spotlights were, but those were casualties too)
    1
  2842. smgs with bayonettes just seem to miss the entire point, especially the small ones
    1
  2843. so easy even a Theoretical Physicist can pick it up and shoot!

  2844. acrylic ink is what you want for dying the lights
    1
  2845. 10:50 presumably those happened already since everybody has had time to travel there by the time the trial started, though obviously trials take way longer to plan too
    1
  2846. how scandalous
    1
  2847. "Hans what have you done! the fuher is coming to inspect his arms production in 20 minutes and you go and accidentally bend a perfectly good barrel!" "I have an idea! we say...we did it on purpose."
    1
  2848. ​ @nob2243  there's absolutely a middle ground but this ain't it
    1
  2849.  @LeonMortgage  its cherrypicking historical texts to manufacture an opinion much like a 9th grader writes a paper by picking only the stuff that supports their thoughts. its intillectually dishonest. Even a cursory glance at Alito's arguments fall apart because abortion was generally NOT a crime until the mid 1800s, yet he claims our legal system and the english one its based on has never had broad legal abortion, HOW CAN THIS BE IF HE IS AN ORIGINALIST?
    1
  2850. sodium vapor is much better than LEDs for streetlighting. except when you're my former campus and make the whole damn place glow bright orange at night
    1
  2851. If i had the magical ability to make a ship appear and everybody aboard has to follow my orders because I have the magic captain hat I'd really love to try tokyo-drifting the Enterprise (ww2), it looked really fun in the film
    1
  2852. I'd say this would have been advertised as the perfect budget way to fight strikers and union agitators, but the guys that did that probably had pump actions anyways since they had money
    1
  2853. meanwhile my 80s casio ain't going up, wth guys, it can tell the time anywhere in the world AND is a calculator
    1
  2854. the Halo 2 Battle Rifle has arrived
    1
  2855. funny that Brown Bess also kind of sort of means Generic Gun in a way Assault Rifle might be used today to describe the kinds of guns soldiers use today
    1
  2856. Moral of the story, don't use concrete as a cable just use a cable. 51 years on the University of Florida pedestrian bridge made the same mistake because we don't learn
    1
  2857. nuclear weapons would still lead to a hell of a lot of instability by the 1950s as the soviets would still fear the US and the US would loose its shit when the USSR got nukes. The problem is after that you actually do need diplomats and such to negotiate a way off the nuclear cliff
    1
  2858. sounds like the only major capability they have is a naval assault which could go well unless the US or some other power had a couple submarines and or drones in the area
    1
  2859. biden really screwed up reappointing powell, he refused to ease up on QE while the economy was blowing up, and now when we need it we're already overbought
    1
  2860. aw you skipped number of the beast a book that no amount of weed will ever make make sense
    1
  2861. all apple had to do was stop paying them from the time when the bag check was completed, something I'm sure they're recording but that was too burdensome for them companies just have to be assholes
    1
  2862. god damn if it were possible all staffing on nuclear or irradiation facilities should be larger than day shift because that's always when these accidents happen
    1
  2863. it was the selfie camera of the day!
    1
  2864. once again, a video that thoroughly explores the issues and solutions, but again the issue is that the US is just not working on the problem whereas other countries are. We can avoid the spiraling debt of the current system, we just aren't because a minority of the government has outsized veto power over the rest of the government
    1
  2865. part of the problem is if you have leaky pipes and don't meter water like they do, you'll have nothing but sinkholes since you'll just keep pumping water jnto those holes
    1
  2866. ya except we learned that "for cause" means "whatever I write on this paper here" when trump was in the WH
    1
  2867. a funny anecdote from the book The Age of Radiance, the guys who handled these Manhattan project physicists who fled europe kept having to stop them from getting hit by cars because they would just walk into the streets with no thought to it.
    1
  2868. on the face of it, yes. bunker fuel is actually denser than crude oil, and massive engines on ships can run it
    1
  2869. seems like you could fix the treadmill by introducing a track, so the car can ONLY move forward or back
    1
  2870. the casualties the russians have taken, even looking at the numbers both sides admit to are apocolyptic for modern militaries
    1
  2871. if you don't have to engage at any substantial range its probably fine
    1
  2872. 23:51 this thing would have shaken itself to pieces if it ever fired an 18" broadside
    1
  2873.  @JNCressey  3a's when this was created didn't last that long and leaked
    1
  2874. it seems like he could have figured out the throttling issues but throttling rocket engines was a lot more difficult back then since you really need a computer and sensors to get it to work well due to combustion instabilities, even on monopropellent engines
    1
  2875. the steyr scout you have at home?
    1
  2876. I think one of the biggest benefits not really talked about is these reactors have no proliferation capability. they just don't make plutonium, and don't create the excuse for the need to generate HEU either, so no nuclear bomb program on the side
    1
  2877. what you've described is what i see at my current work at another sort of legacy industry, which to me is great. I work with people who have commercialized several generations of battery tech. a previous legacy manufacturer I worked at did everything it could to treat the new workers like dirt and horde knowledge.
    1
  2878. if we went full into nuclear we would have built some molten salt fast reactors to burn up a lot of that high level waste
    1
  2879. I've got a 150 watt photographic bulb around my office, that thing is painful to be around the few times I've run it
    1
  2880. I never had a use for powdered detergent for laundry until I worked at a metal recycler, that's the only thing that gets most of the oil out
    1
  2881. "The designer has a vision where each room has a center focus, like one has a bathroom, another a living room..." THAT'S JUST A HOUSE TURNED INTO APPARTMENTS
    1
  2882. they wrote up a procedure to turn off all the safeties and turn off the cooling system, then left it for night shift to run...
    1
  2883. makes me wonder if this works attached to a ship/boat since you'd be using like a propeller to turn the other propeller
    1
  2884. someday they're going to build m60s in miniature and Ian is going to get to John Rambo it
    1
  2885. the x-37b would be a terrible nuclear launch system
    1
  2886. I like the will wright styled broadcast tower down the road anyways. That thing looks ready to blast off into space
    1
  2887. PDW for when Assault Rifle seems too nebulous.
    1
  2888. Seems like they should have put a portcullis on the other side of the drawbridge
    1
  2889. I really wish more politicians would make the effort to better understand other economic systems and or these historical periods. There's far too many parallels to Trump's illegal appropriation of massive amounts of funding to build an arbitrary wall in the desert and Hitler's arbitrary appropriations of funding
    1
  2890. I suspect, on a hunch, he kept this because it may be the only beach buggy anyone has ever felt to put the steering on the wrong side, because britain doesn't have beaches and drives on the wrong side of the road
    1
  2891. probably better this went nowhere because the ZB26 was a fantastic design going on to be the bren and so many other guns
    1
  2892. my only guess is pirates could have gotten ahold of some of those CSA ironclads built in europe but ironclads are expensive to operate at that point and piracy was dying off at that point
    1
  2893. mirror cleaning technology development was one of the goals of this plant if I'm not mistaken. nobody quite knew how mirrors would degrade in the desert
    1
  2894.  @Sun-Tzu-  the soviets ran out of political support. Gorbechev's reforms ironically allowed people to vote the communists out, and they did, and then the nationalists dissolved the ussr.
    1
  2895. the sad part is that the GOP for worse has taken the Watergate scandal and the Nixon presidency as a warning for how to get caught instead of a warning to not do illegal shit in the whitehouse with the powers of the us government
    1
  2896. its a missing link
    1
  2897. talk about overkill
    1
  2898. no more so than any other self loading system baring a few odd ones, the action of a self loading firearm can be broken down into a couple of parts, the feed system, the locking system, and the firing system, and for the most part every category of those systems works with each other, like say a striker fired belt fed roller delayed gun, or a hammer fired magazine fed short recoil rifle the paterson rifle did have a problem with extraction, being a toggle delayed rifle, its cases needed to be specially coated in a wax lubricant to properly extract due to the higher pressures experienced
    1
  2899. contrary to the movie, the burgler would be potentially responsible for the damages as well as his own medical bills, and if another burgler was killed in the process, he could be charged with murder depending on the state (though that one is kind of bad)
    1
  2900. there was a college building like this, you had 8 floors of everything including a morgue for the cadavers for med students and a nonsensical room numbering system. I heard as a rumor that a bunch of pottery students often got their studio confused with the morgue
    1
  2901. its a >100 year old shotgun that looks pretty modern
    1
  2902. power on demand is a problem for nuclear. they only really work with baseload generation. you just can't turn them on and off quick enough to manage spikes in demand. On fuel though, new powerplants and better fuel supply management would reduce the need for u235. almost all smr designs use either small amounts of highly enriched uranium 235 or thorium/uranium blends, further if we finish the reprocessing fuel cycle we could feed our reactor waste into more reactors burning it all down until we've got nothing reactive left but currently only russia and china have fast reactors capable of using reactor waste
    1
  2903. seems like the kind of self replicating grey goo nanobots needed for this are impossible otherwise they should have been created now somewhere in the universe, possibly even through biological means like viruses but instead of hijacking cells they directly replicate We have never noticed anything resembling a von-neuman probe even though someone ought to have launched one by now and I think its because replicating electronics isn't easy enough that a machine can reasonably replicate itself without outside assistance there's a lot of issues surrounding machines that small and their ability to move atoms around especially coordinating them in situ
    1
  2904. gasometer, meters the pressure of the gas, its not measuring its setting the pressure of the gas, which is a function of the diameter of the gasometer and the weight of the cover
    1
  2905. 44 automag for primary gun, 357 coonan for bug, wait were you supposed to use rifles?
    1
  2906. I can't get over that they still have a forward assist when they now have a bolt handle and a T-handle. Cut that cancer off already, nobody's creeping around with this thing
    1
  2907. Lockheed wanted to sell these to airliners at one point
    1
  2908. they didn't even need a dam there just something to delay a surge in the river
    1
  2909. the lift did not break down, it was not designed with capitalists and their overstuffed pockets in mind
    1
  2910. kind of inexcusable when there were plenty of revolvers back then.
    1
  2911. team fortress 2 did this one better by making it a 20 gage shotgun
    1
  2912. i always wondered why they didn't shift the cylinder forward to give you grip, especially on the colt where the revolver mechanism is located at the very rear of the access pin anyways and so would only require a longer pin
    1
  2913. what an interesting time when the government was funding development of massive IC engines
    1
  2914. they just did not put radios on trains even in the 50s
    1
  2915. wouldn't be a 19th century carbine without a bayonet half its length
    1
  2916. 6x 40mm bofors, yikes
    1
  2917. its kind of funny nobody came up with the smg before ww1, not that there was much of a use case but its weird nobody seemingly tried making a mini-machinegun especially using pistol calibers until ww1 came about, minus that weird italian gun
    1
  2918.  @comradecosmonaut7746  ya but by the same thought nobody would have made a machinegun or artillery piece yet those were made regardless of the percieved need in warfare. The best I can guess is that they sort of did since there were things like full auto stocked pistols which are basically smgs but not dedicated smgs
    1
  2919. jesus I always wondered how some of my relatives got into the military and that was even after vietnam
    1
  2920. this whole line of questioning has one answer, this congressman knows it, he could vote and use his power as a congressman to build that world where we can make it work, but instead he goes on about it being a fairy tale
    1
  2921. I think I remember reading that that manuvering device was completely crap because of malfunctions, and how awkward it was to use
    1
  2922. ya some family member was saying trump has constitutional rights, i said not only that but the way people treat him he has extra special constitutional rights
    1
  2923. Convair: Please give us more cash than lockheed, we're at least 2x more insane than them
    1
  2924. I wonder if they had just approached it as a caseless ammunition with a more conservative rifle would the germans have adopted it
    1
  2925. kinda surprised you can't just shut the chamber (without a bullet) and let the snow melt quickly since you've fired a few
    1
  2926. If I was an armorer on John Wick I'd give him a chassepot in .308 and see if he can kill people with it, props if he can actually shoot someone with it.
    1
  2927. if hood is a battlecruiser than they really messed up sending her to hunt down bismark since they were outgunned and out matched with bismark having a heavy cruiser cough battlecruiser cough right behind it
    1
  2928. tbh this thing isn't likely going to swarm AD if anyone has an AA gun. A guipard would annihilate a swarm of these things
    1
  2929. this thing has the trigger pull of a staple gun
    1
  2930. strange that the NRO satellites are similar in design to hubble.....just a coincidence obviously
    1
  2931. why don't we just use a tram...
    1
  2932. Not a lawyer, obviously, but it seems like our justice system, especially our jury system is not capable of handling crimes on such a large scale that the victims are numbers on a spreadsheet instead of personal victims, even though these are still people getting hurt or killed.
    1
  2933. Seems like everything the germans made in small arms from ww2 till 1990 were mp5's or g3 and derivatives
    1
  2934. kinda ironic the russians claim to have all this body armor so the US adopts a body armor defeating rifle, then russia turns out not to have all that much body armor
    1
  2935. shouldn't the elbonian resistance paradoxically have substantially better guns than the actual military?
    1
  2936. Nope nope nope, in ohio we made sure the requirement to get a CCW permit is buy a gun. No classes required now. God bless our terrible legislature because nobody else will.
    1
  2937. CSP plants need to be developed if we want to generate the heat needed to run various industrial processes. CSP powered steel plants have been proposed and should be explored even if on a pilot scale
    1
  2938. wonder what happened in about 1914 that caused them to stop development...
    1
  2939. people realized building billion dollar sand castles weren't worth it. also 2008 happened
    1
  2940.  Israel Hands  probably just a folk tale. its extremely unlikely anyone would survive 15 years in those conditions alone. japanese left behinds in a lot of cases were almost naked because their uniforms rotted away after years of hiding in the wilderness of the south pacific, nobody could have possibly survived 15 years without any help
    1
  2941. I like how german it is to make the stock wobble correctly but switch to fully machined blocks of metal over the easier stamping construction, though I guess it might be easier for a smaller production that way maybe
    1
  2942. I really don't understand why nobody thought of just using more plutonium to heat the bomb, I mean you've already made pu-238 when you made the plutonium in the bomb

  2945. MAC-10 serving covert troops and every 80s bad guy since 1964
    1
  2946. I think maybe the funniest part of this is that for such a serious legal oversight by congress, and such a direct call out to congress to fix this issue, its seemingly been forgotten by congress (though for probably the reason that the senate doesn't want to touch with a democrat controlled house) Seemingly we'll get around to it only when another two or three nations sue using this case as standing

  2947. times don't change, the military was bickering over SAO vs DAO past ww1

  2956. It would be interesting to try and make a gun using dynamite but its not the 1920s so one can't convieniantly pick it up from the farm store by the crate
    1
  2957. so does this appeal to Luger collectors and anti tank gun collectors?

  2963. the ww2 system worked almost miraculously given how patents and red tape snare things up. From what I've read one of the reasons was that 1) as you mention, the Government, not individual companies, purchased the machinery for these companies and 2) the gauging and production jigs for say a M1, were manufactured by the gun manufacturers who were loosing part of the contracts, thus maybe sweatening the deal for them since they're notoriously fickle companies when it comes to gun contracts.3) Then ontop of all this the US just had more authority back then to command companies to shut up, like the aircraft manufacturers being forced to contract out subcomponents that they would normally want to keep in house for more profit

  2964. the three hit punch of low production, back to school shopping and mining just wiped out inventory. Microcenter was OK on stock until the end of august when every rich parent who might be inexperienced with PCs went out and bought up all the 20 series cards to shove into a box so their kids can go to school online, then the new cards didnt have the supply either

  2982. just spitballing but did you consider a second, starting intake where you can inject air in to start the engine, then close it and let the engine intake through the tesla valve? a few jet engines use this method for startup due to similar problems with not getting enough intake air to the core for a self sustaining reaction

  3004. almost as exciting as seeing a crate of surplus elbonian arms

  3005. 8mm kurz would be a good candidate if the germans had been able to adopt it as standard, then you have the troops with the assault rifles (literally the name) and troops with lighter bolt actions that can carry more ammunition, while preserving the full sized 8mm mauser for machineguns, kind of works to the germans favor with how bad their logistics are going to get. the russians are just going to give as many people as possible sub machineguns anyways and use them as assault rifles

  3006.  @ivormcc1  they're going to move towards other sources. the only reason why europe is on russian gas is because the middle east was too unstable for them in the 70s, so precicely the same forces that drove them to russia are now driving them away
    1
  3007.  @damianpos8832  europe in general has higher gdps, better access to capital and economic and government systems capable of addressing large scale challenges. Russia was betting on the european countries reliant on gas to balk and back down, thats not happening, instead they're coming together for the most part and the major economies are figuring out how to prevent a fuel crisis

  3008.  @Fireslingerpirate  they weren't rusting or rotting. NASA has had them stored near ready since the space shuttles stopped flying. They should go to museums because they each have flown to space and back dozens of times, something unique over any other engine intil the merlins.

  3015. so added bonus a great example of why trickledown economics and unregulated business practices fail the public and wider economy. if they had been forced to be rail line neutral they would have actually grown the economy and passed savings on to consumers but instead that savings was concentrated almost exclusively to the wealthy elites who ran or owned shares in the railroads.

  3020. ya except back then they were still lead by an idiot. Thatcher's policies of "fuck you, I've got mine" created massive unemployment, deindustrialization, urban blight, and the dramatic thinning of the british economy that without the common market would have seen all british economic activity collapse, then she too was taken down by the dumbest of all things, an arbitrage issue that was pointed out to her to be mathmatically unworkable, yet she and her government pressed on until the lines converged as predicted and the pound collapsed. So its hard to say decades on that Thatcher was some great genius when she precipitated the conditions that caused such social strife and anguish

  3021. ​ @gnosticbrian3980  this is a charge with no backing, when has britain, or the US even where this gets trotted out, elected a truely socialist government in the last 50 years? it certainly wasn't blair, or clinton, or obama, or carter. the middle class of both countries have been voting against government aid for the latter half of the 20th century while the rich have been vetting the platforms to ensure they always get a handout

Quite a lot of the jobs I've interviewed for have been for 12 hour 4 day weeks instead of 8 hour 5 day weeks. Whether that's still good (or healthy for the workers)is up to debate. Seems like they want to be able to be open 24/7 but don't want to run 3 shifts

  3031. Funny enough, for a while they made electric lamps in the style of that Aladdin lamp with fake oil tanks and useless glass chimneys.

  3040. yes, and no, but also yes. The rich get richer both through the continued gain of wealth and through their assets and that's not stopping the poor from getting wealth, but the rich control the political system to tip it towards giving them more wealth, and also prevent the poor from getting any boost to their wealth, think tax cuts and stopping universal healthcare. One directly gives the rich more wealth while the other directly blocks the indirect transfer of wealth to the poor its the control of the political system to squash the poor that people are sick of because rising tides aren't lifting all ships and this is all before we get to the growing ecological collapse caused by global warming which will require the rich to give up some of their wealth to ensure society survives Economists seem to be a bit too myopic when it comes to the larger political, industrial, and environmental issues caused by wealth inequality

  3092. Judas Preest smgs used to be frontline weapons, mostly cheap to make as well, a big shuttling mass is easy to mill, easy to design. later on they evolved into more police, second line, and special use weapons where compactness, safety and accuracy, as well as durrability became more of a concern. post war also saw the advent of telescopic bolts which were harder to build but allow you to make a smg smaller for the same mechanism. just watch a few of his smg videos, he has done a pretty thorough overview of the evolution of smgs by now

  3117. if Mods is similar to how their gun model scheme works, the pile of numbers indicates models/modifications done to the helmet, so each number was a set of major changes and were probably documented somewhere. writing it on the helmet was probably a way to verify that the helmet had had its modifications kept up to date

  3130. 1920s space-shotgun?
    1
  3131. 20:43 I think in the film he was kind of in a bit of a hurry and that was the gun felix had on hand or something
    1
  3132. .22LR was the ranger with the nylon on his hiiiiiiip
    1
  3133. the tragic part is, because the USSR destroyed all evidence in its rush to cover up everything, nothing of value was obtained from this staggeringly irresponsible amount of nuclear testing
    1
  3134. doc brown might have actually been able to build a nuclear bomb out of pinball parts
    1
  3135. the story of why they were made is pure american politics, Senator gets angry having to constantly buy bigger and bigger ships, pesters the powers that be for years until they finally give up and draw up The Ultimate Battleship for him just to get him to go away, while ironically the process helped influence the design of the ships he was tired of funding
    1
  3136. gotta give them credit though, a box of 8x50 round magazines is certainly lighter to move around than a can full of a belt with hundreds of rounds of ammunition
    1
  3137. Corporations are people, so bees can be fish. If republicans want to argue against the latter they have to concede the former is also wrong
    1
  3138. seeing the construction and hearing the sound again, its very clear its like a cymbal you hear on an orchestra. As the thing spins the vibrations cause a sort of resonance that causes the edges to vibrate very loudly

  3139. Yorktown (cv10) a very (sea)worthy successor

  3140. they say there's no new ideas in firearms but I think gear ratio delayed mg is a novel idea
    1
  3141. but that 0.04% of the economy that was fishing should be doing great, minus the french navy threatening to blockade the channel and the environmental problems with overfishing
    1
  3142. its like he wanted to invent the glock and then made something that could easily blow your fingers off instead!
    1
  3143. the thing about the Big Boys or Alleghanies vs a smaller engine is juat that there's more too to each part, everything is just bigger and a little more complicated but the operating principles are exactly the same. the only major difference is the use of a superheater
    1
  3144. it was Big E vs japan, so still kind of fair
    1
  3145. I wonder if the idea is to put out the rifle now and then later work on lightening it with experience gained from use since there's a plethora of options they can do to lighten it like switching to polymer or other materials for things like the lower, hand guard, and stock
    1
  3146. A chinese ET reboot would see the chinese authorities and scientists contact the aliens to return ET, and receive a spaceship as a gift from the ETs, allowing China to live in the stars in peace and friendship, or something silly like that
    1
  3147. my guess is they had pps43 barrel blanks which are about the same length and just used those to convert these guns. that's probably why they're about 10" long
    1
  3148. china abusing capitalism and wallstreet's gulibility!? ya that makes sense
    1
  3149. so new the video doesn't even appear on your YT page
    1
  3150. I wonder if there was a more consequential war ship in history. These carriers were the backbone of the US Navy in ww2 and were put through hell before the later carrier classes came in
    1
  3151. dealing with the logistics of supplying enough money and keeping circulation up would alone be too huge of a problem for any one nation to deal with, and too many competing ideologies and policies to make any supernational bank work either. The Euro sort of works because the european countries are more or less aligned in a lot of areas, but the european debt crisis showed that doesn't always happen either. Try throwing a country in Africa onto the Euro, they'd have totally different goals.
    1
  3152. really makes you wonder why we've treated them like shit for so long.
    1
  3153. You mention that the british using cracked german codes, transmitted false orders to the germans. Did the British do this at any other major events that we know of, such as redirecting german u-boats in world war 2?

    1
  3156. excellent work agent 47, now proceed to an exit
    1
  3157. literally anything faster than mach 1 is "hypersonic" so russia and china using hypersonic glide vehicles launched by balistic missiles are not really the same as the US building a mach 5+ hypersonic ramjet powered cuise missile
    1
  3158. pretty much, he is responsible for the entire global south being run by a bunch of right wing nutjob authoritarians because he had any remotely leftist governments toppled and their leaders shot, sat by while AIDs blew up around the world and the country, whipped up the satanic panic...ect ect
    1
  3159. I wonder if they've considered trying putting one of these in a nitrogen chamber for that extra certainty
    1
  3160. early squad automatic rifle?
    1
  3161. my guess would be because germany had a preponderance of 20 mm cannons and lots of portable field guns, something the US really didn't adopt
    1
  3162. What's for lunch? BEEEEEEEES
    1
  3163. just wondering how you adapt this for stuff made for the buyer. there's a segment of our economy isn't based on a market, but rather a buyer finding someone to make something for them, something the seller probably wouldn't do if they didn't have the seller. Like machining a specific non standard part, something only a single buyer wants and only a single seller can supply
    1
  3164. quite a fat machinegun
    1
  3165. consumer goods in general have fallen in costs over the last 50 years housing, fuel, and car prices have been rising steadily for the last 50 years wages have been stagnant or falling (especially if you're a 20 year old jumping into the economy when nobody is getting annual raises)
    1
  3166.  @bighands69  its not so straight forward. power drills from 50 years ago do absolutely suck, from an ergonomic, safety and power-to-weight standing, what you're complaining about is the over optimization of value-engineering which tries to reduce the manufacturing price bit by bit while in theory maintaining the quality, but there's parts that get too cheapened and cause more failures
    1
  3167.  @Damien.D  its the pressure to keep running. Reactors as I understand it, once they become poisoned enough to shut down they require a lot of time to bring back up to power
    1
  3168. this is one of the few problems of the developed world that we really need to pay larger attention to. I don't think I spent that much time indoors and I have myopia, but my brother who grew up with me has 20x20 vision, both my parents had slight myopia

  3172. Recruiter: The army is accepting of all people Commander in Chief: GET DA GAYS AND TRANS OUT OF THE ARMY sure, can't see any conflicting message there
    1
  3173. I think your discussion of the Tillman designs is funny in that you end up with an Iowa, its almost like the Iowa was about the optimum balance of requirements based on the technology, infrastructure and naval tactics of the US at the time
    1
  3174. wireless charging doesn't seem that much worth it for the efficiency loss. putting cables at every parking spot works much better than putting charging pads everywhere putting satellites in space to beam down that power is probably worth it though
    1
  3175. I don't even think cranes ever lower loads like this, they use power to raise AND lower loads, they never let things go under the force of gravity
    1
  3176. I have a locking extension cord that uses these holes, I only use it for running an electric lawnmower so the cord doesn't become separated and melt the insulation while mowing, something that has happened before.

  3177. its certainly gotten more complicated with internet based businesses but generally you can't just go to a state neither party has any connection to, you'll loose in the initial opening if they ask for a dismissal

  3178. shrapnel bags to kill you harder!
    1
  3179. it might not be interior urbanism but the new operators of the International Exposition Center in Cleveland Ohio are currently in the process of sub-dividing the massive exposition center into several exposition venues, and commercial business spaces with the ultimate goal to have a use for every space in the vast structure generating revenue with additional follow on plans to build additional structures in the large area currently devoted to parking. All told, they're taking an old aircraft/tank plant and subdividing it into a vast quasi interior urban space because they hope to have dozens of businesses with hundreds of workers under one roof, as well as exposition events going on at the same time. And anyone who's been there kind of knows that while its not far off the beaten track, because of its attached location to the airport, its not got a whole lot of businesses around it, and the airport bought out much of the housing around it for a planned then cancelled expansion project back in the early 00's

  3180. probably ultimately depends on how close to current tooling and production equipment a lithium-sulfur battery can be constructed. if its the same equipment with different setups then we can make the switch

  3187. what a very interesting historical quirk. guess if european vs chinese tactics were going to clash it would be russia
    1
  3188. this man absolutely got around, also got captured a lot, but the results aren't in question since he lived to the age of 81ish
    1
  3189. ww1 destroyers were weird ships, not quite a torpedo boat not quite a gunboat, barely any thought for people needing to actually man it
    1
  3190. Just spitballing, but its 1916, ww1 id going on, and aluminum bullets sound extremely extravagant. Maybe they were concerned their pistol might be needed to be chambered in something larger than that weird .45
    1
  3191. not sure what lambo was smoking, a company I used to work for had chop fill, molded carbon fiber parts in the late 1990s. The problem isn't strictly the carbon fiber, the resin system is the bigger problem. there are resins that can survive the engine but the long term issue is oxidation. the biggest issue is most if not all of the high performance resins are highly controlled technology that has very strict export licensing conditions
    1
  3192. I always preferred Betamax to VHS but to each their own

  3202. "I just got on the ground and was in no mood for the ejection seat killing me by firing me several hundred feet in the air." Quite reasonable
    1
  3203. Slight problem with the Stonewall, both sides' ironclads were notoriously terrible at manuvering, especially in the riverine combat they tended to be deployed in, maybe being built in france it wasn't CSS Virginia levels of poor handling but I can't imagine them being able to get into ramming position against a monitor either
    1
  3204. the problem is someone with a very peculiar belief in what cars should be, is refusing to equip his cars with either a display in front of the driver, or HUD to allow one to be able to easily judge the speed without taking their eyes off the road.
    1
  3205. an interesting what-if because of this VW abandoned its diesel hybrid vehicle projects completely, something they were a couple of years or less from bringing to market with only a single small batch of prototype hypercars built around the technology. Another result of this was that they moved faster than they probably would have towards electric cars as a result, which in turn helped ford get their electric car program off the ground, so its legacy is huge
    1
  3206. and yet with a compident beurocracy it seems any old idiot can rule absolutely, especially on a galactic scale
    1
  3207. but that also comes about because automakers argue everything is an SUV and prevents that from getting closed
    1
  3208. its always night shift, just about every nuclear facility accident is night shift
    1
  3209.  @neuralmute  absolutely, I worked night shift at a place and had to do site walk throughs every night to keep people from fucking off and sleeping on the upper floors where there were many unwatched machine spaces. one night I caught a guy packing food products with a fucking pizza at his station like its no big deal and I swear one of these days they're gonna drop an airpod into one of the bags between the fill and close stations. that said there were nights when I had to calibrate machines in the upper floors and didn't see people for like 3 hours while I ran through my calibrations

  3210. we'll see if GE has the cash to really fund this right now. its really suprising but these open fan engines have come and gone and come and gone more time

  3212. ​ @andrejohnson6101 hitachi makes everything from heavy power generating equipment to personal massagers. asian conglomerates are wild
    1
  3213. On the power vs man hour issue, its an interesting problem of very advanced piston engines vs very early jet engines. jet engines are much more complicated then piston engines today but in ww2 jet engines were not as complicated as the piston engines they were building
    1
  3214. the dumb part (and there's many others) is that these bricks aren't even that great, and machinery could probably do a much much better job for as much as this guy's extracting from them yey capitalism
    1
  3215. the allies made a mistake in not bombing german serial number die factories. literally nothing in germany can be made without stamping every part with a serial number
    1
  3216. Now in fairness, had the mk14 been more successful earlier on, the japanese might have gotten better at ASW, though given that almost all of their aircraft carrier fleet would have been sunk by then it would have probably been still a better outcome
    1
  3217. Guadalcanal is where the war with japan turned. had the navy gotten totally defeated, had the marines lost the battle for the islands, the allies couldn't have really progressed northward in the southeast asia campaign, from that campaign onwards the japanese really were on a slow retreat

  3218. the thing with modern conflict is its rare you've pissed off everybody to the extent that you can't obtain small-arms from anyone else

    1
  3221. italy still never had enough industry and navy to do much especially with the british effectively able to bottle them up in the med. they're a great example of what drach has said though about a small country with a couple battleships in that they had a massively outsized punch compared to a full navy
    1

  3235. Rogal Dorn approves of this strategy
    1
  3236. I don't really buy that. obsessively centralizing government power is the traditional fault with Russia, and in fact it was the continuation of that under Putin that truely killed its current democracy. Russia could be federalized and divided into various states, which each elect their own government, and representatives to a federal legislature but Putin's first 'reform' was to remove the ability for regions to elect their own governors, returning to the system where moscow picks the governors of each state for them
    1
  3237. graphite gasket material might be the key for between the parts, it comes in flat sheets that you cut to the desired shape. I used to use it on high temp ovens to seal these pressure chambers we had inside. id also look at somehow glazing the engine, the glaze would fill the pores in the ceramic

  3243.  @sciarpecyril  there's automatic systems to pop smoke, plus nato tanks just generally have better overall situational awareness
    1
  3244. thing I find funny is they burned every bridge with the west to pivot to russia, then when russia turned against them they went all out antagonizing russia too. Where's your endgame Erdogan?
    1
  3245. its funny. the professor presents a clear logical, theoretical rebuttal, but his major point (that of a lag between gusts and the acceleration of the car) doesn't hold to the experimental evidence obtained from actual real world sensor data. its also funny somebody like him could fall for the foibles of simplified models like the propeller efficiency term. It reminds us all that models are just models, they don't define the world, the world defines them
    1
  3246. the mg16 is just stupid for walking fire. Did the germans even use it for that purpose anyways?
    1
  3247.  @OfftheWallTales  ya but you had piston powered airplanes crash and kill as many people, its just this crashed because of a design flaw, though I'd argue the super constellations loosing engines routinely was also a bad design flaw

  3250. see the issue is that people paint cousin marriage in broad strokes. 1st cousin = Bad, 2nd Cousin = probably bad, but 3rd cousin? they're only related to you in name, not genetics, but they're still a cousin not advocating for it, but einstein's 2nd wife being a 3rd cousin wasn't that gross
    1
  3251. Think adam has the shuttle landing gear mechanism backwards, its incapable of folding up, but it had to always unfold down once. That's why they went with such a simple mechanical system because once you push it down via nitrogen cylinder, it's going to unlatch

  3255. companies have to be assholes on principle seemingly these days. My last employer announced layoffs, then pulled me aside and told me they were firing me. I quit, filed unemployment. The email announcing layoffs was proof enough of discrimination for the state agency to grant my application. HR could have just said "We have to let you go, sorry but your job got eliminated." but no, they had to be the champions of their management and kick people even when they knew my position was being eliminated, so these two have now tarnished their company's image at the state unemployment agency and have on a record there that they unfairly fire people or coerce them to quit. THAT is bad management, encouraging middle management to be hardasses and ultimately hurt your own company

  3304. tripwire is basically Defense-In-Depth, based on the idea that if he goes after NATO, he's gonna have to go after all of NATO or get pushed back. Now seeing Ukraine it's probably a good time to revise this policy since Russia will probably stop at where they want to and dig in

  3307. apparently they don't really want to rebuild the telescope like it was, instead they want to build an array of dishes in the crater to take advantage of the limited noise around the area

  3308. the tyranids of 40k can much more efficiently take over a galaxy since they can fling off probing fleets in many directions each one capable of creating a new fleet itself

  3326. the government should be helping people by providing communal access to expensive machinery like combines instead of ripping up crops

  3327. no because the projectile has usually left or is about to leave the barrel by the time the recoil force overcomes the action. all systems try to unlock only after the pressure has dropped to a safe level; basically they're all using about the same amount of force imparted by the firing of the bullet and shouldn't be affecting the velocity of the bullet

  3331. I don't think hydrogel would fully work as a water substitute because the balls at the bottom of the bearth would have to compress and bear all the weight of the beads above as well as the ship, and these things can be crushed relatively easily, unlike a true liquid, unless you only intend to cover the top layer of water with these things

  3335. shows how brutal ww1 gunship fights were and again how something different was needed to sink enemy ships without putting yourself in gun range which ended up being airplanes
    1
  3336. Should also look at the US Marine M-2-4 Rocket Trucks used in the pacific war. They loved the ability to drive up, drop 10 guns worth of barrage, and move before any counter barrages happened since its all truck mounted. they worked particularly well in the pacific since they created a steep plunging fire that could be better employed against the very steep terrain

  3337. the f117 crash in serbia was actually a pretty expensive kill for the serbs, they had to put lots of batteries on standby and point a lot of radars looking at the same place to get a lock

  3347. we used to have these everywhere in our house, but ya these seem to come in and out of fashion kind of like the clapper. the ones we had were extensions you screwed into the socket and were vibration based, they just went bad eventually and they didn't work well with CFLs and LEDs. basically when the modules died we just never replaced them

  3356. the problem with heat pumps is they're generally not great past 0 C or 32 F. one tech to supplement this is geothermal heating systems that provide the thermal energy to supplement that but those systems aren't practical in tight neighborhoods or suburbia so we're back to using furnaces or resistive heat but the tech for geothermal is getting smaller and geology requirements opening up so its possible

  3361. then to add insult to injury, senator mitch mcconnell for seemingly no reason, revoked the medicaid coverage to marshal islanders that was promised by the government and had been a non-issue for decades

  3362. I'm really shocked they didn't just make a g3 in 5.56, it was obviously not that hard to rechamber the mp5/g3/everyotherh&k edit apparently they did, why they didn't offer it idk
    1
  3363. ya and then the massive amount of excess machinery, materials, and loose capital lead to a large amount of opportunity for businesses to surge, plus since the government spent 10 years basically paying everyone, consumer spending would finally lift the economy
    1
  3364. people forget that while the manned space program ramped up then back down then up again, the space probe programs just kept growing bigger and bigger, the mariners are completely under appreciated, these were the very first man-made objects to visit these worlds years before the voyager probes would do the same thing, and many stuck around doing the first scientific surveys unlike the voyagers

    1
  3373. @Hayden Lysinger  probably all of those. the only reason they treated allied bomber pilots as well as they did and not (usually) machinegunned them was because the germans had large amounts of lost pilots in allied POW camps. soldiers were not treated well at all, sometimes outright executed, and any spies or clandestine operatives were shot as they had no nominal protections under the conventions of war

  3374. from what I've read the subway was going to close for like 3 months to completely finish, but because that was a nonstarter they have to spend 18 months instead

  3375. it might have looked better if you bolted the flat pack shelves together before bolting them to the wall. Also door signs aren't that expensive if you have a labeler. my office just uses some shelf label holders, foam tape, and a roll of black vinyl labels to print the 'plaques' and you wouldn't know the difference between custom etched ones from a distance.

  3376. 22:31 I saw a million dollar Model T in Detroit, did not look that much better than the running driving ones I saw at the county fair

  3377. Seems like most of the issue comes from the crazy linkages in the gas system not the system as a whole. A solid op rod from a gas tap. The bolt mutilation though seems like something that can't be avoided

  3382. talked with a hvac installer at a home show recently and they have installed dual fuel systems now here in the north east where there's 3-4 months where heat pumps alone just won't cut it, its just few people are buying them yet but they at least know about them and have familiarity with the systems. they even have the thermostat setup such that it can pick the cheapest system by programming in your energy costs

  3383. I can't imagine the guys in the rear turret stayed all that dry especially when under way, the rear must have just been a massive spray when under steam

    1
  3389. while bullets can sit sealed for decades, artillery shells and charges are a bit more prone to degrade especially since the Russians don't keep their munitions stored very well. The US learned this lesson badly with the Iowas where we had these guns which couldn't hit anything because the ww2 era charges degraded and had wildly inconsistent burn rates, then one of the turrets exploded
    1
  3390. the theory was that there's be a big kick motor on the front of it, then it would use gridfins to fine tune its targeting, but lets be honest, it doesn't need to be pinpoint accurate if you're targeting a city/base/bunker

  3398. this thing was probably a target tank on some old soviet military range, the russians are having a go at it with the internet there's no way that thing is worth 2-3 million usd as it sits though, its probably worth some money in spare parts, to restore that thing would probably not be worth it to even the most staffed museum

  3414. Overestimation of Armor Plate; There's like dozens of examples of generals overestimating how protective steel plate was, only for their armor to be easily shot through killing all behind it. From tanks to armored shields, to helmets, the sort of testing we see today came about because ww1 showed what happened if you just assume
    1
  3415. I would say the Pentagon HAS the logistics capability that springfield had, but we maybe don't have a dedicated small arms development group like them who had they survived the 60s probably would have transitioned into being more of a review board and less a manufacturer. certainly the way the army aquires small arms could use significant improvement (though that too may have finally worked itself out) maybe between darpa and the weird offices of the pentagon we're fine

  3418. I wish the partisan machine wouldn't instantly ramp up to spin everything. these guys were Enron running a charity according to what they're accused of and the NRA shouldn't get a pass because of their political connections. I wish people would stop instantly climbing into the trenches, these are exactly the corrupt individuals foz news pretends to care about when they can spin it as being corrupt liberals. I think too many corporations get by with sacrificing a couple executives, pay a fine, and continue on without actually changing course. We ought to be dissolving them when we find entire floors of executives corrupt

  3456. Its a bit of a morbid joke but the more people you cram into a plane, the more people you kill with every crash. Kind of like how nobody thought about what would happen if 2 boeing 747s crashed into each other until it happened and they suddenly had 400 people dead in 1 crash
    1
  3457. I feel like a lot of these guys making these sort of flawed gun prototypes knew very little of how to handle a gun, which for the 1860s might have been some of a benefit given how muskets would heavily influence cartridge firearms, but then there's things like the double triggers

  3473. it does amaze me that the germans thought to stick a cannon into their jet fighters, like its a big long cannon sticking out of a streamline aircraft

  3474. also just firehose on fox news so his supporters are drilled with their alternate facts so as to go out and disemminate his truth against the Truth

  3475. I do wonder why this wasn't tried earlier

  3476. these are horrible but the USSR had a penal island where they just dumped starving crazy criminals and peons, a real hunger games except they kept feeding batches of people to the island

  3477. kind of surprised this actually works since blow back operation kind of needs a large enough bolt mass to cycle properly instead of just explode

  3478. oh ya the original foundation books are dripping with atomic age language, its actually an interesting study itself.

  3479. did these things always sail with such a bad aft list?

  3480. it certainly got the reputation as a 'bad guy gun' in the movies

  3481. Mark 14 really had a glowup during the war. shame it had to take a few years.

  3483. we on't even have the fabrication technology to build a cable that big anyways

  3485. scrubs, T51-B or bust!

  3486. the problem is Ray Kroc was much more of an asshole than Keton could portray

  3487. The issue is that ignoring the parts of history that don't support your side has been quite rewarding for politicians these days. see anyone claiming the US has never been a racist country, and the last 50 years of US history

  3488. They built a 1930s army for a 1940s war. Their weapons, aircraft, ships and all were fairly good in the 30s but they pretty much stopped advancing their weapons by the mid 30s and by the time the allies actually faced them their weapons and everything were woefully dated. Its not like they didn't have good ideas or weapons in the pipeline but they just did not really have the capacity to fight ww2, plus the germans couldn't take gibralter which let the allies have free reign over the Mediterranean

  3489. the heirs to the u-haul fortune put the trump's family drama to shame

  3490. Ian, your determination to prove this gun has ruined it somehow. lol

  3491. Seems like technology can't solve social problems alone and expecting productivity and technological advances to solve social issues regarding labor and its worth, has not given the prosperity promised
    1
  3492. ya they had like 2 pounds 5 shillings budget for Dr. No

  3493. I have a little Thermaltake USB fan that while was a bit expensive, has a little control nob and plugs into my keyboard and sits just behind it, it works wonders better than these things

  3494. I never knew that china had 2 currency systems
    1
  3495. I wonder why they don't have a block heater fitted for this reason
    1
  3496. Ok but eternal torment with no choice or ability to end it isn't torment at all, torturing someone for information (whether right or wrong) presents them with the choice to end the torment in an instant, they choose to endure the torment. greek gods, or advanced AI just tormenting you with no end is just sensation without context
    1
  3497. testing on nuclear depth charges found otherwise. the problem is a lot of energy is dissipated by the water. Ya it would be a completely horrible thing for everyone involved but the US tested this extensively during the cold war. nuclear torpedoes get better but nuclear weapons just aren't great at taking out ships

  3498. THUNDA......SCREEEEEEEECH

  3499. if its anything like the torus we had in the states it leaks more oil than the deepwater horizon

  3500. tbf its because people sue everytime they try to do anything they can't do anything sensible
    1
  3501. really funny they had just a 9" gun, on a ship thats like a mid sized cruiser gun at the time, but its enormous on the ground
    1
  3502. for something designed in 1946 its quite different looking
    1
  3503. can't understand why they didn't just make a chute to push the fuel onto and then deposite it into the water.

  3504. The battle of the Falklands, no not that one!

  3505. FRY YOU EMU BELLIED COWARD!

  3506.  @Amondera3210  being cheap and or dogmaticly rigid is different from complete disregard of human life. We care about veterans we just don't care enough to deal with the damage we've done to them or to maybe do what we can to prevent people from having to fight senseless wars

  3507. I suspect the 30$ plasma cutter was a reject from harbor freight or some equivalent and someone bought the broken rejects, reboxed them and listed it to wish

  3508. this probably works so well because you've got so much volume of cool air compared to a small pc case

  3509. You forgot to rate it on how many Oberths it could destroy per minute

  3510. "Lets go rescue the czeck legion" MEANWHILE IN THE UKRAINE "ha ha armored train go cho choo"
    1
  3511. from what I've read basically ARPA bought a bunch because the vietnamese were too small and then it snowballed from there. so in a world where we didn't go into vietnam we probably would have ended up with something like an SA80 built from an arsenal project with too many requirements

  3512. Garett Robichaux that'd be blasphemy

  3513. ya but nylon 6-12 would have been a much better marketing catch for a shotgun

  3514. "War's over chaps, time to build another complicated enfield! the yanks? So what that they have self-loading rifles, that's bloody unsportsman. Yes I know we're bankrupt, but..."

  3516. the missile knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't
    1
  3517. steam turbines are an utter pain in the butt then the gearing for them is worse because you're talking about a very fast heavy spinning mass on one end, and a relatively slow but extremely heavy mass on the other end with water resistance added to it. Turbine blades would have been very difficult to forge back then because they only just had the metalurgy to make it work reliable enough, you wouldn't really get superalloys and heavy forging until the middle of ww2 and thats too late for battleships at that point

  3518. god i love the battle for lake erie because of how silly it is
    1
  3519. seems like this could largely have been avoided by better spending or just not listening to people who build a mansion next to a tower and complain the tower needs to look pretty
    1
  3520. irs funny that proponents of fossil fuels tend to criticize nuclear (indirectly since they aren't openly anti nuclear for political purposes) for its fuel costs while ignoring that nuclear fuel is insanely power dense compared to any fossil fuel

  3521. USS Iowa switches to gas turbines "Well put 20 more 40mm's on her now!"

  3522. you'd have fooled me if you told me it was 50+ years old, soviet, and had served in afghanistan

  3523.  @gateauxq4604  china in turn has sold an even bigger chunk of its debt to everybody else, its a global circular economy of countries selling debt to other countries

  3524. watching a professional (and so prolific) voice actor just slip in and out of voices so effortlessly is amazing
    1
  3525. and the US where we increased coal use but dug it up in wyoming where its not unionized instead
    1
  3526. yes but also no, but also yes. there's just too much shit in the US to change units and by that i mean too many old engineers and companies who won't change units. I worked in a lab that had some equipment in metric, some in imperial, and most just not labeled at all. I spent more than a few frustrating hours correcting shit because it got all messed up or one of the production engineers couldn't read metric for some damn reason. Had a fun time once when I noticed one of two identical machines was set to imperial while its counterpart was set to metric, and I was about to run a program that would have put 10,000 lbs on something when I wanted 10kN

  3527. ah the 30s, when a submachine gun with a bayonet makes sense somehow
    1
  3528. lots of torpedoes on target, nothing sunk
    1
  3529. a big heavy service revolver does make sense for the 1950s books but also a browning hipower would have been more cutting edge
    1
  3530. yes, could the US invade Iran without taking horrendous casualties and collapsing the global economy? probably not
